  1. Installed the following combo last night in a X5 legion: This legion was over 5lbs factory and quite mushy.

     

    GG kit w/flat trigger

    Factory Trigger bar spring

    Apex Forward trigger bar and over travel stop

     

    Big improvement over factory.

    New pull weight is 3lb 12oz which is fine as I need 3lb + for IPSC.

    Trigger shoe is moved forward which is good got me as I have big hands, always ran long triggers in my 2011's. 

    Less over travel

    Break is much better, less mushy, better wall.

     

    I'm ok if this setup but want to experiment with trying to get and better "wall and snap like break".

     

    Has anyone done anything to give them more of a crisper break? I might try too file a little bit more of a negative angle interface on the striker where it contacts the sear.

  2. Thanks for the info. I almost bought one of these a year ago but just wasn't enogh info om them. If I was local I would have tried it out but didn't want any headaches since I'm in a different country. Ended up using a dillon with upgraded motor which is finicky to say the least. Will probably get one of these in the future once some more feed back comes out.

    I had issues with a Zev glock 34 that needed all Springs changed every 500 to 1k rounds.
    Get some high quality 1911 springs next

    What weight Wolff 1911 springs have people had good results with in the X5s?

  4. I’ve had a older(back when there was only one version)mark 7 for a few years now. 
     

    I’ve mostly only ran it at 1000-1200 max because that where it seemed to work best. Always had issues when going faster. 
     

    Recently I’ve spent some time getting everything sorted out and now I can run it at 1800(actually speed, dwell and index set at 0) loading 9 minor. It actually seems slow now, everything is running so well I think it could easily go faster but my machine is not able to. 
     

    Do you guys with the 2100-2400 or even 3500 rph 1050 PRO version find that it is capable of using these speeds? 
     

    I'm considering getting the upgrade. 

  5. Ok, so I adjusted the trigger bar springs as per that link(thanks) and no change in the issue. 

     

    I made a video of the problem. 

     

     

    Something I noticed. I only have to just barely pull back on the hammer for it to function in SA. 

     

    Also, if I pull back on the hammer to "set" it and then rack the slide it goes back to the same issue of needing to be set.

     

    Any thoughts?

  6. Hello, picked up a new Shadow 2 OR. Installed the "75800" kit from CGW with the add on reach reduction parts. 

     

    After assembly the trigger works in DA mode and in SA when I manually pull the hammer back with my finger. 

     

    However if I rack the slide to cock the hammer or if I drop the hammer by pulling the trigger and keep the trigger depressed and rack the slide I get a dead trigger. 

    If I manually pull the hammer back just a bit more it will then act as it should.

     

    It's like the new hammer doesn't engage the slide enough to be fully cocked. 

     

    I plan to call CGW on monday but thought I would chack here as maybe this is a simple thing I'm overlooking.

     

    Thanks

    Mine was 3.75lbs with the gg kit and trigger. With the Keres, it is 4.25lbs. Taken from the middle of the trigger shoe.

     

    After adjusting the screws, there is virtually no take up and the total trigger travel is 1/8 inch.

     

     

    Perfect!

    I just installed mine, last night, and it is fantastic. Have a gg kit in my pistol.

     

    Interesting, is the pull weight still above 3lb with the GG guts? Looking to keep it IPSC production legal.

    Grip by Alma

    I have tungsten guide rod, base plate and optic mount from Springer.

    CELTS trigger by Greyguns

    RHT holster

     

    So far I am very impressed with this gun.

    Is this grip tape or carbide?

    I probably should've read and replied to this more than 10 minutes after waking up.

     

    Yes the thread pitch you will need is the same as the R1 (6-48 as mentioned) just a little longer as you said (3/4"). What I meant to say originally is that the R1 screws won't work with the DPP because of length (as we've discussed) but also the head type - R1 uses a fillister head screw to clamp the optic down in the screw hole/pocket of the optic while the DPP uses a weaver oval head so the tapered head clamps down on the optic that way.

     

    Sorry for any confusion.

     

     

     

    Gotcha, thanks!

  11. Would it not be the same thread pitch as  it is when used with the R1 but just longer? Since the screw holes aren’t changing... or what am I missing? 

     

    I don’t have my X5 yet, just bought a used one yesterday and want to put a DPP on it as soon as it arrives. I have a mill. 

     

    Thanks
