Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. The angle of the thumb rest is the same as their thumb rest for open guns. It’s huge and feels like an open guns thumb rest. The ghost hydra holster fits the gun and can be set up for the legal distance. I don’t think I shoot any different with it on vs off. The metal the pin is made out of should eliminate the issue of slide stops breaking. Pros: it’s huge, positions your hands like an open gun, the slide stop will not break. cons: you will need a new holster.
  2. Baseball cap and a long sleeve sun shirt with a hood. It sounds hot but I find it more comfortable than short sleeves and a hat. Huk makes a nice shirt where the back is a vented material.
  3. It didn’t fill up in minutes this year. I didn’t remember about registration until it had already been open for four hours. I still got in without being put on the waitlist. Does anyone know what is the cause of the lower demand this year?
  4. I use half of a foam earplug under the hammer. I mainly do it to quiet the sound so other people in the house don’t get annoyed. Out of your two options I would go with o ring. The aluminum snap caps I have tried, get beat up and then have difficulty feeding or extracting.
  5. I had the same problem and with the 11.5lb spring in a shadow 1. I use mixed range brass and would occasionally have high primers. I upped my quality control but was still concerned with missing one. I ended up sticking to the 13lb mainspring and the light strikes went away. The heavier spring only adds about 1.5lbs to your double action and half that to your single action. A light strike would cost me a second or more on a stage.
  6. I had the same problem with work done by fire for effect. I ran out of elevation and had to shim the dot. When you get the dot more in the middle of its adjustment range it will stop disappearing
  7. I also think a CO forum is a good idea
  8. I like the Henning pro production base pads. Henning base pads are nice because they are flush with the front of the magazine. Henning base pads don’t over insert in either a shadow or shadow 2. The pro model is a little larger than the basic model and has some texture on the bottom and sides.
  9. Yes it’s not raising up high enough. When you rack the slide the hammer hooks sit deeper than if you just cock the hammer with your thumb. The the slide pushes down on the trigger bar, the sear drops down a bit and the hammer hooks get seated deeper
  10. It is identical to pulling the trigger with the safety on. Looking at it again, it looks like the trigger is set to far back and runs out of travel. It isn’t hitting the over travel screw, I took that out
  11. I am fitting a t3 disconnector to a shadow 2. The double action resets and drops the hammer. If I cock the hammer with my thumb the single action works, but if I rack the slide the hammer will not move when I pull the trigger. What part of the disconnector do I need to file to get the hammer to drop, would it be the part I highlighted in red?
  12. You can do the dry fire drill you are already doing along with dry fire bill drills with sight movement being the focus of the drill. You can incorporate any dry fire drill that involves a fast trigger press, just put an emphasis into eliminating sight movement while slapping the trigger. In live fire you can work on the dot drill (two inch dot at 7 yards, 5 second par. Draw and fire six shots). If you want fast splits you are going to have to slap the trigger. Learning how much trigger discipline you need for various target difficulties is what you should focus on in live fire.
  13. I switched from 3m to skate tape because 3m sheds material. Skate tape I better in just about every way and the same price
