Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Just curious what trigger group and striker/spring combinations people are running in their Gen 5 (19, 17, 34) for the IDPA SSP division since the factory trigger shoe needs to stay (I think). I currently have a "-" factory connector and a 4.5 lb striker spring, factory trigger bar, wondering what other things (other than polishing) folks have done to improve things without bumping me into ESP.
  2. yes, there is no physcial change to the fatory "-" connector, only it's name changed, supposedly for the reason you cited...
  3. FWIW, Just a data point on this scope and a failure, first I love the scope, mine is the kdot, but it went 100% tits up at a rifle match at the end of September. The rifle was an AR in .223 and it was mounted with a LaRue SPR. This was a 100 round tac rifle match run basically under USPSA rules in Central AL (Steel City club). Next to last stage, the optic became a complete blur and I had to point shoot my way through half of a stage, then it suddenly came back into focus for a few shots, then a blur again for the rest of the stage. At the end of the stage I looked and it was clear again, so I tried to go ahead and shoot the next and final stage, then 4 or 5 rounds into the stage it did it again and never came back from the complete blur...illuminated reticle never went out but it was like trying to shoot an old Armson OEG from that point on because you could make out nothing through the optic itself...quite comical trying to take a bunch of 6" plates at 40 yards with that mode. I called Meopta USA on Monday, they said it was likely a loose internal optic, a prism or something, the failure I described and symptoms were familiar to the gentleman I spoke with. They had it by 10/1 up in Hauppage, NY. I received a brand new replacement this morning. So about 4 weeks door to door on the replacement. I still plan to use this scope exclusively on my 3-gun rifles, great scope, if yours goes out they will replace it, but this experience tells me the process may take a month. I do have serious questions about durability based on this experience. Like any scope, there are some lemons, hope that is all this was.
  4.
