  1. Here in South Africa our swingers tend to move them over a circumferential distance of maybe five feet. At 20 feet per second that means a movement back and forth four times every second. Your swingers must be different to our ipsc ones. Are they longer, or differently actuated? I'd be interested in a photo if you've got one, to see the differences

  2. For my TS, I load to an ipsc power factor of 176 using 200 grain frontier cmj bullets, at a length of 28.8 mm (1.134 inches). No problems at all with pressure. I've also used cheaper bullets with a different profile - again with no issues.

    Are you sure about the pressure problem? The signs can sometimes be deceptive in a pistol if your primers are on the soft side.

  3. True. That is cheaper. But I prefer my training book to be made of paper.

    I did buy Brian's book electronically, and that worked great - but it's not the same as working on a book full of drills - then I prefer paper. Maybe I'm just old.

    We also pay about twice as much for guns as you guys do in the USA. Then we have to wait around six months for a licence to take possession (if it's granted). You have it good over there (apart from California, of course)

  4. Here in South Africa, the vast majority of production guns are CZs. I can therefore get any part for my TS from my friendly local supplier within a day or two. 1911 parts are much much harder to find. It's nice that it's easier for us here than in the USA - because for most firearm-related things we're an ignored backwater in the global supply chain

  5. If the retaining dimple won't pop up through the base plate, I usually push it in and let it back out (like you would when disassembling them). They usually pop straight back up when I do that

  6. The hammer spring is actually quite easy to change. The lighter hammer spring makes the double action trigger pull much nicer. The change is often coupled with an extended firing pin and a reduced power firing pin spring ( the rami one ) to make sure you don't get light strikes.

    The lighter recoil spring is to adjust the recoil action to the lighter loads used at minor power factor, so the front sight returns as quickly as possible for follow up shots. But this is probably not advised for full power factory loads
