  1. I was all about RHT but the wait time and cost didn't work for me (I run the Zev slide for my CO setup since it gets the SRO a LOT lower than the factory plus a plate). The GX holster doesn't work with a *thumb rest [generic]* so that was returned (but you might not care about that). The DAA holster is very flexible and nice but also doesn't let you run the *thumb rest [generic]*. I actually run a Four Bros holster for a *thumb rest [generic]* and even it needed to be trimmed to fit the more forward SRO on the Zev slide (love it BTW). And that works great. I'm working with him for a deeper cut to see the chamber.
  2. Hi all – I’d like to get the ZR tactical guide rod… But they are back ordered and didn’t know when they would get more in. Are there other options that other people are aware of? I want to fix the over sprung nature of the OEM recoil spring. Thanks!

  5. I just picked up a Q5SF today end it came with a test target.
  6. Thank you as well! I'll order a new one and start there... Brandon
  7. Thanks again Mark - I tested this and it's working fine. It resets every time.
  8. Thank you all! Just back in town and need to get some time this weekend to take it apart and fix some things.
  9. It resets intermittently and is likely due to the loop - I’ll have to do some more testing from what mpom said. Thanks for the direction!
  10. I did the install myself and it worked for a number of years (and a few thousand rounds)...but.... ...I might just need a new trigger
  11. Hi all - I have an M&P gen 1 with an Apex trigger that...doesn't reset anymore. I've tried a few of the usual things (after talking with support) and I think I need to send that to a good gunsmith. Any recommendations for an M&P gunsmith from the group here? Thanks!
  12. Very cool - I ended up asking a buddy to make some dummy rounds and use the TRT Tap Rack thingie so they don't strip the rounds out. So, it IS the exact same as my actual mags but I would have preferred the DAA mags just be a bit longer...
  13. I have one and it makes all the trigger variations a LOT nicer...it does raise the weight a bit but I didn't notice a difference in splits
  14. Or pics for simpletons like me

    X5 trigger work

    I didn't see any needs to send the FCU to anyone for the GG kit (and most don't but it depends on your comfort with this sort of thing). It took me about 20 minutes to get it in and it's a lot better than stock...but I'm pretty mechanical and do a lot of minor gun work (though I'm no gun smith). There are a number of youtube videos that can help and it's doable (though no where near as easy as a glock). The Sig Armorer trigger needs the whole gun to be sent out since it's a lot of custom welding (on the trigger bar and trigger), grinding (on those parts, the sear, and striker in the slide) and polishing (on a variety of parts). Mine didn't have the over travel ground correctly and I had to file it down (wouldn't cleanly/easily break 10%-20% of the time). For the price it was very disappointing so I took care of it myself so I didn't have to send it in again (and take 2 weeks). I'm very happy with this setup now. The sear to striker fitting was well done and reduced the creep to next to nothing. So, I ended up with a better trigger but not sure I'd do it again for the price (over $400) and issues. A very similar kit can be done with the GG kit and one of the adjustable triggers but it's not as short or crisp. Just don't play with the over travel or you can impact the drop safety.
  16. I bought the P320 mags...and they would have been great if they were setup to be a 21 rounder. BUT they were 17 rounders which isn't the length most of us would use...
  17. Thank you! I assumed it was something like that but didn’t recall seeing the definition in the rule book. So, you really have to have your holster really in the middle to risk a 180 violation (at least from what I’ve seen on myself). I have mine moved to in front of my femur and it doesn’t seem to come close to the 180 demarcation.
  18. Thanks for the other consideration - I hadn’t thought about the 180. Do you know where/how it is defunded? From the draw? From position to the range?
  19. Was watching Joe Farewell with his holster more forward of his hip bone for 3-gun and, with the new USPSA rules around holster and mag placement, I decided to experiment a bit (but less than in college ) So, I tried the holster much more forward....and it was odd at first but I really ended up liking it and my times are about the same (maybe a bit faster). The grip is now where my right hand falls and so is the first mag pouch. So, what have you changed (if anything)?

    CZ TS 2

    I fondled the base blue TS2 model at my LGS today and it seems a lot like my previous TSO with some very minor changes. Metal trigger (not poly as I assumed it would be), great trigger break, non existent trigger reset (like nothing discernible at all), and a few hundred less than I paid for my TSO. It’s great for what it is but so focused on IPSC classes that I don’t see much demand for it here in the US. For folks who aren’t adamant about having a 2011, it would make a great purchase for range use if you have larger hands. If you do have smaller hands, a Shadow 2 SAO seems just as well fit for $500 less and will serve the same purpose (but a less good trigger).

    X5 Grip weight

    Maybe try some of the european sites that are more shipping friendly to AU?
  22. I have to do math?!? I guess I’m buying a bunch of 21 rounders...
  23. Thats my question - not sure if the 17 rounders + 5 -or- the 21 rounders +1 are the better choice if you’re buying more mags. Maybe it doesn’t really matter....
