  4. FWIW - IPSC Alberta has a few shooters using the DVC Classic in 9mm and 40. We haven't seen the 9mm guy out to many matches, but the 40 guy is at every match and is the current Canadian Classic champ. The day before he set off for the World Shoot he was experiencing a bad case of hammer follow at one of our qualifier matches on the stock trigger and springs (not altered). As a suggestion to get him out of a bind, I offered that he take any internals he would like out of my Trojans and swap out his parts to get him running - His need to participate in the WS was much greater than my need to win a local qualifier. Unfortunately, no parts out of my Trojans would fit, not even close. Serious amounts of smithing would've been required. Most of us up here run primary and back-up guns in 9mm and 40 cal for Classic/Single Stack. Thankfully all of mine are Trojans and fortunately for me, internals can be swapped between the primary and backups easily with full functionality and very little difference in operation (I don't notice anything). Unfortunately for him, his STI USPSA (back-up) and STI DVC (primary) are not interchangeable either. So, as it stood, he had 1 operating gun for the WS and no ability to get parts for the DVC over night. IIRC - we added a little more spring-force to the left finger of the sear spring and the DVC ran like a champ for 250 rounds testing firing it at the end of the qualifier match. He left for France, shot some amount of stages (not sure how many) before he had to change to his back-up gun for the remainder of the World Shoot. I'm fairly confident that he was pretty annoyed that he spent $5000+ (CAD) on a gun that should've run flawlessly out of the box. I'm pretty sure he had less than 10k rounds through the gun. Moral of the story - Don't assume you can swap parts between two STI models that are meant for the same purpose (Trojan to USPSA to DVC, vice versa) - not that anybody would (dumb Canadians eh). If you're crazy like us and "need" a back-up, then you might want to take this into consideration. My $0.02.
