I'd rec'd getting a plate system so you're not stuck with a single optic mounting pattern should you choose to switch down the road (say from your 507k to SRO). If funds allow, buy a new complete upper to do it with. The one downside is an ever so slightly "taller" optic but totally worth the ability to swap out optics via different plate. (Others may likely tell you the exact height decrease if you choose a direct slide mount vs plate system)

Holy smokes. That's 1k reps per session @ 5 times a week? Popeye fingers for sure! It's a small price to pay for that much dry-firing. I may get 1k dryfire pulls in a single year.

If your wallet can handle it, do it! Personally I feel it's a good idea to have an identical backup gun (and parts for the easy repairs). I think this also depends on how serious you are in USPSA (or want to be). I've only been a competitor in level 1 matches but hope to step up to major matches relatively soon (Wish I had more time!). If you need to travel for majors, you'll likely need to pay your way there (match fees, lodging, time taken off, etc.) and so I think it's wise to bring a backup in case your main breaks down during the match for whatever reason.

Hey guys. Sooo...I just got a P365 and was doing a complete strip of the firearm and lost my striker safety spring (That's a story for another day...). Does anyone know where to find a replacement spring without buying the striker safety as well? I have signed up to multiple websites to notify me when the striker safety + spring is back in stock but none have them in stock currently. I do have a pretty extensive hardware store nearby so specs on the spring would be great too (length, OD, thickness of the coil, # of coils, and this could be a far reach but spring stiffness in lb/in?). As a sidenote, I currently have a reduced power CZ firing pin block safety spring (from CGW) in the firearm. It fits in the groove of the striker safety perfectly and does also provide enough spring force down in order to block the striker if an inadvertent drop+slip of the sear+striker assembly occurs. I did email SIG and asked to see if they would be willing to send the spring itself but I haven't heard back from them yet. I appreciate all the advice in making sure I am careful, have the appropriate tools/workspace/lighting/white towel/etc. This was a one-off situation where parts went flying all over the garage floor... Thanks! Chris

Yes, legal. USPSA Rulebook Appendix D4, 21.6:

I don't see why not. It'll only increase ignition reliability over the stock firing pin spring

This may not be it but I figure I can mention it since it hasn't been yet - the inside of the mag and follower can be dirty and need some cleaning. I've had dirt/crud get into the mag and the follower starts dragging up the mag.

I highly doubt it. I would say reliable ignition is mostly based on your firing pin length (extended or not), the firing pin spring (reduced or factory), and hammer spring.

Any issues with using an ultrasonic cleaner? Maybe a bit overkill but it can't hurt...?

Awesome. Thanks a ton. I haven’t been as aggressive and want to see if I can shave off more.

Does anyone have pictures of their TTI or TF extension where they filed? I've done the follower modification but it seems to still hang up on my TF basepad around round 35/36. Thanks, Chris

I didn't need to use a vise to install the H-pins from CGW into multiple factory hammers or multiple CGW disconnectors. I haven't needed to use anything other than a punch. Getting factory pins out of the hammer is another story...

Any news on these? I haven’t seen anything on CGWs website.

I would also look into getting the SRS-1 kit from CGW in addition to what others have mentioned here (darn that firing pin block).

If the only difference is a better installation experience and not a whole lot of performance increase, I'd say their now "old" triggers are a bargain!

Definitely a cool concept. Surprised no one has mentioned this but more adjust-ability = typically more parts = more things that can go wrong (and more parts to keep track of in your spare parts bin).

Just trying to help your PCC...but maybe not your wallets. https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Hiperfire-AR-15-Triggers-s/79583.htm 24C isn't exactly priced great at $223 but the following are: 24 - $120 24E - $130 243G - $150

In case anyone is interested. Primary Arms is having a sale on this trigger. EDIT: OOS as of 8AM PDT 10/4 (sale price of $180 + ship)

Well, not a great experience to say the least. I had a timer that I bought from a BE member awhile back (this is a different story, it was claimed to all be okay but the directional toggle buttons were sticking). Anyways, I wanted to send it in to get it fixed so I called them and explained my issue and they provided an RMA. So far so good. However, after sending the timer over to CED, they called me and said that this was a pretty old timer (made in 2007 according to the serial) and when they opened up the timer, "pieces of the board/button fell out" and now the directional buttons are no longer working. I wouldn't have mind paying them to get fix it but he said it's now "irreparable" (mind you everything was working except a sticky button). The CED rep said that they'd be able to give me a 20% off discount on a new timer but that's all they can do....after all this I now much rather have my sticky button timer back as I value that way more than just a measly ~$20. Is this reasonable? Maybe I need to get off my high horse but I've had much better luck with many other manufactures that would take care of customers better than how I was treated...

That's pretty clean. Better than most other lighting systems. Any reviews on this? Thanks, Chris

What buffer spring are you using? I have the same buffer and also the KVP Extra Power 17-4 SS PCC Spring but haven't had a chance to test fire.

It's been working for me as well. Hopefully this won't cause grief for those "shoulda woulda coulda" but I got a blem spinta during their Thanksgiving Sale for 99.99

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking forward to shooting somewhere new. If things change let me know! Chris

Hey guys. Visiting some family in Tucson this weekend. Was wondering if anyone had experience shooting at the Tucson rifle club. I was hoping of checking out uspsa shoot this coming Saturday. Thanks!
