  1. Mine's tight. Bought last july. Friend bought a pair about 2 months ago, both his are tight. Actually, mine had so tight of frame to slide that it would stick out of battery. This is the slide "stuck" after easing it forward. Took some doing to smooth it out.
  2. I found no appreciable difference. So I thermally relieved a trs and took nearly a pound off the trigger! Yea!Except.... The sear spring was able to hold the trigger from returning. So about every 2nd or 3rd round the trigger needed to be manually pushed forward. Whoops . Factory spring back in. Reliability near 100.000% is more important (to me) than the ultimate light trigger. Do you have a fitted T3 Disco in it? I put a cz sear spring in my stock 2. I do not, just the EG xtreme disco, factory supplied.
  3. I got the two layer kydex ones. Real nice. Only down side, can't blame my poor draw on the holster anymore.
  4. Henning grips feel nice, but not cheap!
  5. Red hill's web said tgey were backed up, but they delivered 2 holsters in a week right before Christmas. I like his MUCH better than the BT.

  7. Stuff from EG's shop in France took about 10 days to get to the midwest.
  8. I'm annoyed. Wrote a long detailed history of what we did today and this stupid android thing ate it! Short answer..... the commercial reloaded ammo he uses is probably the cause. Swapped him my spare S2 top and he still had light strikes. My guns ran flawlessly (it was 25f shooting, so I was concerned). Traded ammo and his gun flew and mine started having light strikes. They showed very shallow dimples, so I think it's primer depth related. He was doutful as he's run 40-50k rounds in his old striker guns and it's "the same stuff" a well known person uses with his tanfos. The ammo passes plunk in his guns, btw. Still, can't argue when the fails follow the ammo. Thanks to all that helped!
  9. Going to see the man and his light striking S2's. He says it's getting worse. He backed the trigger over travel screw out with no change. If pulling out the extended FPB "fixes" the issue, is the correct procedure to just sand the "top" part that sticks out of the slide ? I've not had to mess with that before, they just plopped in with no issues.
  10. No longer true! http://store.10dollargunclub.com/EAA_TANFO_WITNESS_STOCK_3_XTREME_40SW_4_5_DA_p/eaa_610590.htm Listed as in stock with a cash price $1500.
  11. Yes to all. Assuming they are both large frame (or both small frame). In USA, nearly all are large frame.
  12. I've made that suggestion. He hasn't gone to the range to try out things suggested. I did suggest backing out the over travel screw snd shooting #2 pencil straight up 10x. Then screwing it in a turn and repeating until short launches or no fire happens. My opinion is the OT screw is most likely the present problem, as he said running full mags in DA went flawlessly, so the fpb "probably" isn't the culprit. As any drag from the fpb should make the da fail more often than the stronger SA. That's where I'm at pending further range tests etc from him. I also doubt it's ammo. But will have him keep that in mind. Thanks!
  13. Further data.... Running full mags in dA results in good ignition. The few DA fail to fire, never fired. No matter how often tried and he feels they were ammo duds. Im "assuming" this points more to the OT screw and not the FPB. (Yes?)
  14. I'm having him back out the screws. If it's the fpb dragging, what is the correction? Slow removal of material off the extended fpb? Do you have a target total height? They are currently as manufactured by EG. Thanks!
  15. I will discuss that plunk test with him. On edit------ both of his s2's pass plunk test His firing technique is NOT any part of the issue. (He's a GM with plastic guns)
  16. I thought that initiallt, then after listening that the issue is with SA.... it seems less likely as he has little issuevin DA.
  17. Running EG "light" for hammer and firing pin. Commercial ammo from Atlanta arms.
  18. Ok, a friend bought a pair of stock 2's. I helped him install a titan hammer, xtreme sear, firing pin, extended fpb, light hammer and FP springs. We did a full polish of the firing pin, FP block, hammer strut, trigger bow, plunger and their holes. Trigger feels great around 7 da and 3 sa. But... He is now getting random light strikes in Single Action, but rarely in DA. He keeps his equipment meticulously clean by the way. I'm thinking the over travel screw is out too far. He is checking for obvious signs of hammer interference. But what other conditions can cause this SA light strikes but rarely DA? By the way, he is a couple hours away so diagnosis is a bit more difficult. Thanks x
  19. Most pros seem to like to lock them but they are in much better physical condition than the average person. Here are some facts:1) If you lock your elbows, it puts all the load on your shoulders. If they can handle it, that may not be a problem. 2) If the elbows are allowed to flex, they act like shock absorbers for recoil. Locked out, your shoulder (rotator cuff) muscles have to handle the load of lifting the gun and stopping recoil lift. If lockout works for you, no problem. Some of us older guys with chronic tendonitis can't do it. I've beeb dry firing a lot recently and my shoulders are now crap. Thanks for the advice! Will now try to bring the gun back some. Getting old sucks.
  20. the EG grips are definitely thinner. Nice grip surface too.
  21. Nope, that's what I was imagining. Next detail strip will give it a whirl. Thanks.
