Yeah he is a good dude and I've been buying bullets from him for a few years. He makes great stuff. BTW I did get in contact with him and my order is on the way.

Thanks.

Howdy y'all,
I've tried to contact them on a few occasions and haven't heard anything back regarding my order. Does anyone know if they are still in business? Thanks.

An Asian American, USMC veteran, father and volunteer at matches aalllll over the place. He is also a decent competitor, not just someone who works the timer because they can't shoot. I know him in real life.
Yeah, He is a good guy. I shot with him for about 3 years and know him to be solid. I voted for him and am happy to see him leading the sport.

I saw it on the internet so it must be true.....
I've seen 3 Glocks with 100K rounds and cracked slides. It ain't just interweb rumors.

We messed with a few different sear/hammer combos on mine and ended up going with EGW/Koenig hammer and EWG long sear, extreme engineering disconnect. Had it about 1.8-2.0lb. And super crisp.
That's a great combo but be advised that EGW does not cut the secondary angle on their sears.

A 17lb main spring is plenty strong enough. Ran one in the same gun for 20k rounds. The firing pin is going to be the standard .068" small diameter one.
The gun I pictured had EGW internals, 17ob main spring, 12lb recoil spring and whatever firing pin spring came with the Wolff recoil spring. It set off CCI small rifle primers all day every day.
We, prasky gunworks, and I did a LOT of testing what parts worked the best with these guns. Belive me the stock internals (all of them) are junk. Toss it all out. Keep barrel, slide, sights, frame, mag release, MSH. it's all poor quality MIM.
It's my understanding that all Wolff recoil springs come with an extra power firing pin spring.

Try a different bullet with a different diameter. I used extremes for a long time and a new gun came with a different barrel that required a .401 diameter bullet. Plus, in my experience, a coated bullet will be faster than plated or jacketed. Try Acme's 180 .401 to see what happens.
-
Nope. The bullet seating depth will not effect the crimp because the crimp die is interacting with the actual case and not the bullet.
-
I use Ball Brand citric acid ( a 9mm case full) and about a half tablespoon of dawn and is works perfectly. Plus it's cheap.

It looks like you sleeved the main shaft bore? Very cool!

I've had this kit in my nag for a few years and have used it several times to get out of a jam. Works great.

Are there any major improvements to be had with the addition of the Gray guns competition kit?

are the factory 21rd sig's the go-to for uspsa carry optics? with the factory basepads?
Yes but you have to grind a portion of the pad away to make them fit. It's pretty easy and I think the guy from "go fast, don;t suck" did a video on it.

Are you running an extended firing pin?

so its okay this way even on a variable recoil spring like wollf or ismi?
I tested 1911 springs and used 1911 wolff variable and others that seemed to work fine. I settled on a Spirnco 12lber.

I know an open shooter that has broken at least 4 of these but have not heard any limited shooters in the same boat.
-
Always have. Seems silly to not use them when adding the screw and bushing only takes a minute and reduces the possibility of stress cracks in the frame.

I have scoured your loadsheets many times, and just not coming up with a comparable combo unless Sport Pistol meters similar to N320........
And it does appear, your heavier JHP/FMJ/CMJ bullets are working well with Sport Pistol. Unfortunately all I have to work with is N320 and the Zero 147JHP combo. Even though I'm retired, it's a major endeavor to test at length since the range for chrono work and my friends Ransom Rest are in two different, far between, locations.
I do appreciate your feedback!
I have a fair amount of n320 and 147 zero load data that was used for an sp01. If you send me a PM with your email address, I can send it to you.
To net the results, 3.5GR of n320 made 130PF loaded at 1.125. ES of 21, AVG velocity 889. I have load data from 3.1-3.5

In Production USPSA the start must be done with hummer down, i.e. heavy pull on first shot.
Did switch to Cajun 11.5# hummer spring, reduced power firing pin spring, reduced power trigger return spring.
After about 2 training matches got an issue at "If Clear, Hammer Down, Holster": firing pin just got stuck in the slide!
It is not obvious till "Make Ready" on next stage: firing pin stop plate falling out on the ground! luckly pin still inside the slide so it is not ballistic out by pin spring.
Gun slide was cleaned at the end of very training, i hope there is no too much residue left inside firing pin channel.
What could be wrong? Too weak firing spring (SKU:97041)?
If i will go back to original CZ Shadow 2 firing spring the hummer spring could be out of power balance.
Will extended firing pin solve the issue?
Any ideas, please.
Contact CGW regarding that spring. I thought they had transitioned to the 97045 and away from the 97041 for the s2 without an extended firing pin.
-
If you can get a pic of the extractor out of the slide, I'm sure someone can identify it.
-
Can't open the pics. FYI

My gun actually has the aftec. I posted pics above where I had never cleaned the extractor chamber. Hopefully that solved the problem. Thanks!
You may want t consider changing the springs while you are at it.

What happened that stripped the president of the power in USPSA? When did that happen?
