  1. Wait you shoot a 35, but want a 34 for limited and want to switch it to 40? Why not build up the 35 for limited? I'd do an SJC frame weight Brass magwell TTI base pads Flat trigger Would be a sweet limited glock.
  2. I've run 147g American Eagle through a stock 2 and had no issues. Just ordered some Atlanta Arms 124g because I like that they make 130pf and shoot noticeably lighter then the factory stuff like american eagle, umc, etc. Always ran great in my Glock 34. But I'm seeing that they have an OAL of 1.145 which seems pretty long for the stock 2's. Does anybody know the OAL of the 147g American Eagle? Wondering if I'm going to have any issues.
  3. Me too but grip tape on the smooth grips like posted above seems like a good option.
  4. Kinda weird because the old style sight looks like it's on the new style frame and the new style sight is on the old style frame. I have the new style frame with the old sight in your pic.
  5. These ones? http://henningshop.com/products/tanfoglio-matchsteel-smooth-grip-special-deal
  6. I still haven't found any marketed as new style so if anybody knows of any aluminum grip panels let me know.
  7. I've been told that most of the grips don't quite fit right in the newer style Stock 2 frames. I was told to buy grips made for the new style. Who makes these?
  8. Jim bodkin just finished mine. Should have it any day. He does Stoeger's guns and seems to be the top Tanfo guy.
  9. You can make a Ben stock 2 by sending it to Jim Bodkin.
  10. They are much easier to get now so there's going to be more used ones on the market. Guys that don't like them, wanted to experiment and just try one, going to limited, whatever.
  11. Probably could do it taking my time but I'd rather just have a pro do it. Went out to Bodkin today so I'm excited to get it back.
  12. What could be butchered if you are paying attention to not changing any angles?The hard part is knowing what to pay attention to. What's that old saying? Mistakes are what you get from not paying attention. Experience is what you get after making mistakes, wisdom is what you get from experience. Or something along those lines. Well now I don't know if I should. This shop seems pretty legit but it seems like they do a lot of 1911 trigger jobs, slide and bushing fitting, milling and machining, etc.

  14. I have my parts and will be going to the gunsmith tomorrow. I want to have a pro polish everything. I don't want to bubba smith anything, even though it's just polishing and putting some springs in. EGD medium mainspring and firing pin spring, henning firing pin, and an 18 or 20lb plunger spring. Interested to see what this results in with all the polishing.
  15. It's worth it. I have a small child. Shooting is one of the things I still get to do. It's all priorities. I don't get to do all the hobbies and things I did before a child, but shooting is something that I still have plenty of time for.
  16. What do you think I'll be at with the trigger weights with the medium springs and polishing?
  17. Not sure of where there's the light springs in stock.
  18. The medium spring makes for a clearly noticeable lighter trigger pull than stock, IMHO. But the light spring is a breeze. I guess I'll have to try it then and see. The medium spring combined with a 20lb plunger spring, and polishing I'm hoping to get the single action down to 3-3.5lbs.
  19. That was my plan but heard that the EGD springs are "better." I have the EGD medium mainspring and firing pin spring, henning firing pin and guide rod. Was going to bring my stock 2 to the gunsmith this week to have it polished up and springs put in but may have to get that wolf 14lb first if the EGD medium springs won't make much of a difference.
  20. Thanks. So I guess that medium isn't much lighter than stock.
  21. Anybody know the weight of these? Heard they are better than the Wolff because they don't stack as much but I can't find any published weights anywhere
  22. Most likely not. For every pin/fpb issue, there are thousands that run flawlessly. Or don't know about the enos' forum, to ask for help. Lol I say install yours and if you run into light strikes, go from there. I'm sure I've beat the horse on this, but the tolerances are so vast gun to gun, sometimes you need to just trial and error it. I've smith'd sp01 (non shadows) that would run on a 8.5# and some that would barely light off anything with the 13#, until I opened up the channel where the firing pin rides. Usually, with the Henning G4 FP, you can polish up the fpb enough that it's reliable, or switch to using federal primers. Running a different fpb in the sii/iii is usually a hit or miss (in my experience). I'm going to be using the EGD medium hammer and striker springs specifically over the light springs to avoid light strike issues.
  23. For me, the Red lens makes the fiber-optic front sight really stand out. It also creates good contrast between the brown targets, and the brown dirt background.[/quote Cool. Thanks.
  24. I have a Henning on the way. Do I need a new fpb?
