Can you count is no difference to me in terms of time. But a zebra at 15+yrds, headshots, and so on is definitely slower shooting major. Just to illustrate it further: Imagine shooting Bill Drills (Or two shots) at the heads with 22LR at 10yrds. The spits would be way faster compared to, say, 40SW. That is why Open guns are faster - compensators work.
it depends on what targets/drills you are shooting. Predictive shooting is the same but when you have to shoot reactively (Tight partials, long distance targets and such), minor gun returns faster with everything else equal. No doubt about that. I tested this expensively shooting major and minor ammo through the same Limited gun. I played with various recoil springs as well... Nationals is the tight match.
It also depends on the stage hit factor. For example, on a stage with hit factor of 5, one C (Minor scoring) is equal to 0.4 sec. So 5 Cs is the same as 2 sec slower with the same HF. On a stage with the hit factor of 10 one C is only 0.2 (And a mike is 1.5 sec) So it pays to be more aggressive (taking some risk of losing points) on high hit factor stages compared to low HF stages where your strategy should be more conservative in general
Another point. It is easier to train a fast shooter to become more accurate than the accurate one to speed up. It is not just a different approach. It takes more time/effort and you never graduate from it
I just got mine as well. Identical to yours. I did not have time to shoot it yet. It came with a 15# 1911 recoil spring which is short compared to the recoil spring that Legions usually come with. Which one are going to be using with this slide?
Finally got it out by cutting the screw down. A local gunsmith did it for me. He also tried to drill it out but broke the drill bit. Apparently a mix of loctite and dirt locked it up really well. What a royal PITA...
I am trying to disassemble my FCU that has the armory craft trigger installed. The pre travel screw got stuck so bad that I can't move it at all. At this point I am afraid I damaged the screw. The trigger does not move forward enough because of the screw. Is there any way to remove the trigger without backing out the screw?
Since it's believed that the slide is the issue i am thinking of getting a different slide. It's impossible to find discontinued factory X5 slides anywhere. There are some companies, however, who make their slides for the legion pistols. For example, Grey Ghost Precision and MWG Works. Any experience with them? Do they improve the accuracy?
I shot Blue Bullets 125RN and Everglades FMJ 124RN today. Surprisingly enough, the Blue bullets were significantly better. I will double check it again later this week.
