  1. There was a time I thought a heavier gun was an advantage. Then I watched Dave Sevigney win the limited nationals with a Glock 35. No frame weight, mag well, or flashlight. Also shooting major. Now I know I’m not on Dave’s level but weight is not everything. If you believe it’s an advantage then it is because you believe it. But either setup can win with practice. 

  2. The only real issue with running 2.0 slides on 1.0 frames is the slide stop. 1.0 is square 2.0 is a wedge shaped. The uppers will work but you will have unreliable lock back. I’m running a 1.0 frame and slide with 2.0 internals except for the slide stop, It’s a 1.0. I’d put it up against anything as far as reliability. Remember the “factory” gives advice for the lowest common customer, such as you cannot change the factory recoil spring because they set it up correctly. You may have to do some tuning but if you cannot figure out those issues maybe going off the res isn’t for you. 

  3. I know a lot of people in my area have gone to metal guns for “recoil control”. I think It’s not the cool gun to have now. The best advice I’ve gotten is pick one and practice. An M&P is more then capable of winning the nationals just like a Glock or Sig or CZ. Pick the one you like. 

  4. Benelli M2 fire control parts work in the Verasmax. I’ve been running a Benelli hammer since the Remington hammer broke. No issues. I’ve been told you can swap the complete trigger groups but I don’t have a Benelli one to try. 

  5. This is what I’ve been told.

     

    the original barrels were 1/16 twist and do not have dots.

    when s&w went to a 1/10 twist they began marking the barrels with dots.

    there are one dot and two dot barrels, they indicate which machine the barrel was made on. 
     

     

  6. I’m on my third Taccom ULW barrel. I sold the first one (non ramped colt mag setup) and now have a primary and backup with the upper ramped super feed barrels. Prior to Taccom I ran a JP barrel. They are all good and no barrel makes a gun 100%. There are many variables to make the “system” reliable  the barrel is only one part.  

  7. I would suggest that you install whichever apex trigger kit catches your fancy, polish all contact surfaces, and practice. I’ve run M&Ps since they were first released. While I can make a sub 2lb trigger I don’t want one. To get that light you need to lighten the striker spring. You just took a very reliable gun and made it iffy. All striker fired handguns are like that, they rely solely on the striker spring to ignite the primer. All my M&Ps have triggers between 3 1/2 to 4lb, they can set off rifle primers, and I only clean them for major matches. I don’t need to worry if they will work so I can focus on my performance. They took me to master in several devisions. Just my opinion. 

  8. I’ve shot a lot of blue bullets, S&S, and Bayou, all coated. Powder makes a big difference in the amount of fouling but they will never be as clean as jacketed. I shoot coated for practice and locals, and jacketed for majors. I do not shoot them in comps or MPX gas systems as I don’t run those. I have run them in production, limited, carry optics, and PCC and will continue to do so. Not as clean or accurate as jacketed but more then enough for USPSA.
