Thank you for the replies.
I have a large source of American Eagle 165gr. Anyone have experience with that?
-
Hahah. Nice thank you on question 1.
I ride the safety also; I guess I'm used to 1911 so that doesn't bother me.
-
Two things; both in reference to SP01. First one is a question; second is for conversation.
1) when "made ready" hammer down for DA first shot but do you also need to activate the safety?
2) If 90% of the time people are trying to do something with the safeties (larger, smaller, slimmer....) and don't use them in the first place. Why not make a version with out safeties?

Anyone get there hands on an APEX extractor yet? Where from? Everyone says out of stock
Thoughts?
-
I don't reload so mostly buy factory.
What over the counter 40 S&W rd have you gotten good results with in an Edge?
-
ZEV connector
4.5 striker spring
Stock trigger spring
Reduced power plunger
Everything cleaned and polished
Not too light, still positive reset

I took one of my 17s to a local machine shop; showed him a picture at a couple days later it was finished. Mine is more for front serrations then lighting but had great results and didn't have to send it off if you aren't local to a custom shop.

I have the International and use the DOH attachment and use the belt attachment instead of the paddle. Good stuff.
Yep, I am switching to the belt attachment, little too much flex with the paddle and the drop/offset.
+1. Too much flex

SP 01 Shadow. I really like mine
-
They make good stuff. I have set ups for Glock and M&P and I very happy.
-
. Not sure if this makes a difference, but I'm female.
It can depending on your build. "Comp Tach" makes a "Diva" (I didn't name it) holster which is designed to move the butt of the gun away from the body. A Blade Tech DOH may also produce this result. Also as stated it depends which division you are running. If you buy one of these they are legal from production-limited-open. Same can be said about the mag pouches; I run CR Speed mag pouches with a DOH for my SP01. Safariland makes some that extend a little away from the body.
Happy hunting

"eerw" A.K.A Stuart W at CZ Custom. He did the work on mine and couldn't be happier. Something to consider might be turnaround time. I would guess Stuart's is going to be faster.

Looking for advice on a CZ for 3 gun. I'm leaning toward the SP01 Shadow Custom Target but not sure about sight radius since I'm getting older. I know most will go with the TS but not sure I like it. Anyone shoot 3 gun with SP01 Shadow?
Yup, I get 23+1 of 9mm in a 140mm magazine and it works great. I'm so used to the double action first shot I just run it as I would in production with more ammo.
Second that. Which mags and extensions are you using?
-
I have run my SP01 for 3 gun for 4 years now, and IMO its perfect. I switched to open last year and had Matt Cheely open up the top of my slide, port the barrel and bury a delta point in the slide. It has been an amazing pistol for me.
Photo??? Sounds like a cool gun!
-
Same experience here. He said call anytime; "I know most of my customers are doing work on their projects into the night and weekend".
-
Have you tried a bit of lube? It helps.
Not yet but I am about to dip this belt in a tub of Vaseline.
Sometimes a little bit of soap will help; it washes off better.
Sounds crazy but....do you have a vise? Might help locking the pouch or an end of the belt in place
-
After looking around at everything out there and calling to get a feel on customer service I think I am goin to go with Chris from Nitro Ear. Answered every question I had and sounds like he genuinely cares about his customers. I even sent him an email which he responded to AFTER HOURS!!
I'll post once I have the product in hand; or ear however you want to look at it.
Thanks for the replies

Here is my project gun..you know the one you try stuff out on.
Used to be a single action only gun, now its running the SRTS in it.
You can see how far back the trigger now sits in single action mode. There is virtually no room for take up on the trigger on this gun.
I am playing with the DA stroke. its running 4# right now, SA is running 2#.
Not sure I would recommend this, but wanted to see where the edge of failure is.
When you get it figured out ill send you mine for a retro. Really like the rear sight! Gives the gun a whole different look.

Ear muffs just don't cut it all the time.
Ever try the cheap foamies and muffs? I sometimes do that.
A guy I shoot with, Dean Makkos, has electronic plugs that cost, IIRC, $800. I don't know if the company sponsors him or not. Dean told me Errol Lawson also uses them. They are small and hardly noticable when worn. Dean swears by them. His email is sales@docterusa.com.
Yes; I usually wear both. I have some really nice Peltors. I not a fan of complainers but....they are hot, sound too muffeled, push on the side of my glasses, fall off, inconsistent cheek weld...okay I'm finished.
-
Which version are you guys using?
I also looked at Westone
-
HA. "Cheater"!!! Cheaper
-
Ear muffs just don't cut it all the time.
Considering purchasing molded electronic ear plugs. Prices range from $150.00 for just the molds up to $2,000 for the digital noise reduction kind. I'm sure there are cheating and more expensive.
Anyone using them regrets? Likes? Dislikes?
-
I bet. I just got off the phone with Jeremy .... Sounds like a fun match. Look forward to it
-
Too funny I was just told about this match today. Making sure the boss will let me.
What's the match fee?
