Yeah, Dave is thinking it's something mechanical, so it's going to see the man.

It's the Type 2. I guess I'm the 10% of the time that it's not a drop in piece. I've sent Dave an email, but in the mean time, does anyone have any idea on what to change on that type 2 disco?

So, I was trying to polish my SP-01, which is full of CGW parts, and now it seems that my double action doesn't work. Works in single action just fine, but double action brings the hammer almost all of the way back, and does nothing. The trigger seems very far back in the trigger guard as well, for both single and double action. If I have the slide off, am holding the trigger back from starting at double action, then push down on the trigger bar, the hammer falls. Did I take too much off the back of the trigger bar? Thoughts?

I shot my first real 3 gun match a couple weeks ago. I found that I had a lot of extra mental bandwidth- especially with so many transitions between weapons and positions. It seems like when I'm just driving the pistol at a pistol match I'm much more focused on what's going on- probably because I've been doing it for a couple years- With 3 gun, I have much less practice, so everything took longer (even if it was some small fraction of a second)- so I fumbled a shotgun reload- and was thinking,"That's ok, just load that one, then get the next one, push it in the gun, nice and easy, don't drop it." Things like that. I think, for me, that I've spent a fair amount of time practicing with the pistol- to have a proper draw, a proper reload- that when I reload the rifle it takes a second, maybe 2, longer than the pistol- which when you're used to fractions of a second, can be an order of magnitude more time- which is a lot. Like going from 2 seconds to 20... There's a lot of extra time in there. So I think with the pistol, I execute the plan I made before hand. With 3 gun, I execute, but my pace is so much slower by comparison, that there's a lot of extra time- and everything is on the conscious side, while the pistol is subconscious...

Holy crap. I can't tell you how many times I've looked at that base pad and thought,"When are they going to get the 9mm ones back in stock?" My wife will verify that sometimes I'm a little slow. Thanks for getting me to read that for the tenth time. I call them on Monday.

So I couldn't find a 140mm base pad that didn't take tools to take apart and clean for the TS, so I drove the hour down to Henning's shop to talk with him about some 140 base pads. He agreed to make some and kept my magazine for a while. I know he's busy with other stuff, but please bother him about these if you're interested... That way maybe he'll get around to making them and I can have mine. Also talking about a magwell to go with- (720) 325-7890 or orders@henningshop.com. Speaking of magwells, in the mean time I bought a CZC IPSC/USPSA box magwell for my TS, and the stock magazines don't seem to fit. Seems like a little grinding, but just wondering if anyone else had the same issue.

I was just about to post that mine fit great when I decided to go take a look... The trigger guard doesn't drop all the way in. That would explain why it always seemed a bit loose. I wonder if just cutting the tip off would allow the gun to drop all the way in- seems like that's where it's hanging up. On another note, I just bought a Long's Shadow holster for my SP-01 and it seems great. Depending on how that goes I might be inclined to pick up another Long's Shadow for the TS. Their website doesn't show it, but I remember him saying they had a mold for one. www.lsholster.com
