Shooter212

I had an edge for three years and just ran stock recoil master springs and never changed the hammer spring. I bought a new MPA and everyone at the matches told me it is sprung to heavy. I grip the hell out of my guns and have huge hands. With my 135pf loads the dot doesn’t leave a big window. I have looked around some and people have all kinds of crazy ideas on hammer and recoil and how they affect the gun. I am just wondering what’s a good starting point and what is the feel difference? I don’t think I want a super light recoil spring to me that seems like it would beat up the gun? Sorry for the long winded post just looking for some knowledge.

Dsc gun works or chpws I have used both and they’re both good. I know chpws had some hiccups but mine was good. Turn around time on both was good.

I ended up playing around with it this weekend. I took my original cz disconnector and started filing. I filed the wings until the DA would reset and function then polished it. I then measured the up and down dimension in my picture and it was about .455. I filed and checked fit about every .005. I got down to .440 and it was getting close to my trigger running out of travel so I stopped. It is hard to tell how much hammer swing I got but I took two full mags out back and DA every shot and they all went off so I think it is good to go. I have a 13lb Cajun hammer spring factory firing pin and firing pin spring in the gun. I have the czc flat trigger with a trigger cut by Tim.

I put a new flat trigger in with a reach reduction disco that cz says needs to go in with it. Everything works and resets like it’s supposed to. It just seems like the throw on the double action is to short. The hammer travels half as far as where it sits in single action. I read a bunch on here I just want to make sure I fit the right spots. On the picture do I need to file down where the arrow is pointing shorting the overall so the disco sits lower.

I just bought a shadow 2 the mags that came with the gun say mec gar on the plus two. Will these work with aftermarket base pads?

All the reasons you mentioned are the reasons I went with the legion over the S2. Plus I shoot a 2011 a bunch and the cross over is the nicest. I wish walther made the steel frame with a 18rd grip that would be sweet.

It’s just disheartening I want to love this gun but at distance it doesn’t perform like any other gun I have ever ran. Might just sell it all and go shadow 2.

Fed up with the accuracy of my legion. Shot a Major 3 gun match last week and small steel at distance was annoying. Never had trouble with my 2011. I can’t get my legion to group with coated bullets at all 115,124,147 it hates all of them. So which is the better choice kkm or a barsto.

I am looking for a place to mill my old edge for a plate system for dots. Google didn’t turn up much. I was wondering if some one does milling for the Dawson plates. I know chpws does it but saw some ppl were not there biggest fans on here.

I was all excited to shoot the legion in co this year. Now all I hear about is them blowing up. I wish I would have just went with the shadow 2. I thought the legion would be a better 3 gun cross over pistol.

That’s what I figured it was. I tried to give it the sling shot to see if it made a difference but not really. It was pretty consistent were the first shot would land.

I was doing some load testing and noticed that the first round loaded when racking the gun is always like an off. I would have one high and right and four touching. I starting shooting the first round at my steel then shooting a five round group. My good groups were all touching after that. Is this normal? Criterion barrel aero parts.

I have wanted to try one of the ultradynes might be a good excuse. I have a drill press welder and a dremel I am Gunsmif!

Off topic but what is a good muzzle brake that is long enough for the 13.7 Rosco to get it over 16”?

Getting the springer pale looks like winner here!

What’s everyone’s favorite extended mag release. I had one on my canik all last year and liked it.

Anyone know which if any safari land gls or als holster fits an X5. I am looking for a cheaper retention holster for 3 gun.

Shooting the new modified division this year. What’s the best way to put a red dot on a M2. Looking at the speed bead or one of those rail clamps mounts. I know it’s not a huge advantage regular shots it prolly not. Slugs I feel like it will be though.

I think we are missing a good point here. The half cock is there for a reason and decockers put it there on purpose. If a gun was on half cock a dropped gun couldn’t accidentally discharge when hitting the ground. Could have saved that guy who dropped his shadow 2. Maybe the rules should change. Just an idea don’t beat me done to hard I am sure there is some downside I am not thinking of.

I am all for ditching major minor scoring. I think this new TS would be sweet for limited minor and a 3 gun combo or the dwx. Limited is shrinking fast 40 is literally dead in every fashion except for USPSA limited class which is tiny in the grand scheme of things. I don’t think open guys will care they will keep making major to work there comps or will come up with a load that’s is hot enough to do what it needs to.

Are the grips small frame tanfo grips too?

I went through last night and put a fifteen pound spring back in. The ammo plunks and spins. It does it with federal, white box, got some hornady and reloads. Of course i have never seen exactly what’s happening because it happens sporadically usually in a match or running in practice. But cycling it by hand if I pull the striker out it slides into battery easy. But put the striker back in and slow cycle it soon as the striker catches it loses a lot of spring tension. I know under full recoil the slide should be sailing home and it shouldn’t be an issue. Maybe it is straight up light striking maybe those mag tech primers are hard but I can reload the round and it always goes off.

Mag tech small pistol primers. It has to be spring related it’s hard to tell what’s happening cuz it’s always when I am running hard and it just has a weird feel strike. The primer has a little dent but not enough.

I have the W74 rod and bought a couple different commander springs and the 6.5 Glock spring. If I run any recoil spring lighter then 17lbs I’ll get issues where the slide doesn’t always go in to battery all the way and it lights strikes/goes into battery. It’s not super common won’t happen in a local match but 2-300 major it happens at least once. Anyone else have this issue 17lb recoil is a little stout but clearing malfunctions on the clock is not fun. I tried a lighter striker spring and it will always go into battery but 1-2 rounds every 100 rounds it lights strikes. With a 15lb recoil spring and 6.5 striker it holds the slide up but barely if you pull it down a little with a loaded striker it won’t return all the way. It’s coming into the off season now if I can’t fix it going to the X5 lol

I run 135pf loads to factory Winchester white box on a 15lb Wilson combat flat wire commander spring. The stock spring is 18lbs give or take its metric, it’s meant to run 124+p military ammo though it was too crazy.
