Yes, I removed the two rollers to get a perfect fit/trim on the tubing. IIRC, it was only 1 screw for each.
Easy mod!
I’m gonna order it! The 1/2” size you recommended looks perfect.

Applying this to the rollers will solve that issue:

Did you disassemble it to get the heat shrink on? I use small strips of clear heavy duty packing tape and it’s great.

No further love for this from anyone? I am swayed by everyone raving over the Everglades, but that multi-screw positional adjustment mechanism looks like a gigantic pain. On the face of it the BSG looks really and a it's lot less expensive than the Everglades.
The Everglades is super easy to set up and maintain. Do not fear! You will love it. Black Scorpion isn’t even close. And yes, I tried one.

The brass grips make the gun heavier for sure but man do they make it shoot softer. Balance feels so good.

I want slightly lighter springs and a *thumb rest [generic]*. do these exist yet?
Springs are easy. Get a guide rod that takes 1911 springs and go at it. Thumb rest is a hard no unless you drill and tap the frame.

I really wish they'd at least make an extended safety available. The thin, stock safety was an interesting choice by the DW folks.
I’m with you!

Well, I ended up buying a new SPS Vista Long in .38. Got a sweet deal on it and could not justify buying used for that amount.
It came in .38 so I will deal with that as it is. As I will maybe shoot 4 or 5 matches a year outside the club it is okay brass wise.
Most what I read is that these guns run pretty okay and parts are easy to get here in Europe.
Any advice on a starting load in 3N38 or 3N37 for .38 with coal and crimp dia?

I have experience with those. Well it was a .40 limited gun and a shorty 9mm Major Vista. They are ok after you change all of the MIM parts out and do a trigger job. The mags are solid. Pretty sure they are proprietary but you should be able to get some over there and MBX sells some for them too. Grips are awful but they sell a metal grip for them now and it’s nice. All in all a good move on your part. Congrats

I want to see if an open gun is the the thing for me. (I'm afraid it might be, love speed, tinkering and nice stuff
)For that reason I want to keep the initial purchase between 2 and 3K€ for the gun and not go all out on it at once.
You can get "something" at that price but it may be wore out or very old tech. Keep looking. Hoping something pops up.

I think the biggest driver in your search is your budget. Any idea what that is? That’s going to narrow down things quite a bit. I would stay with a tried and true 2011 platform but that’s me.

Thx to all for the advice, much appreciated.
Good luck! Let us know what you end up with.

Thank you! But I have to confess I have a good friend that's a CNC Master Machinist that made the "major" mods to my specs........

IF you did have an MPA, it would have taken a lot of "adjusting" to make the Cheely version fit!
I have heard that. You did well

Yea, RD makes a great looking and functioning trigger! What grip/pistol is yours in?
Cheely. Tried to get an MPA but they are way behind.

Being inspired by @scooterj's success at installing an Atlas trigger in an MPA grip, I decided that since I really liked the look and function of the Red Dirt USA triggers, I was going to see how much work would be involved in adapting one for an MPA SS grip. I decided the "Cheely" version offered the closest dimensions to the MPA; and that it might be able to work with some dedicated modifications; especially the OAL of the trigger bow which is quiet a bit longer on the Cheely .
My first observation is that MPA is dedicating the manufacturing of their grips to be a bit "proprietary" in order to encourage (?) shooters to use the OEM offerings for their replacement triggers. For my personal use, I like a trigger that has a fully supported bow rather than having the front of the bow aligned in the MPA grip's trigger bow channel by the height of the trigger shoe in it's dedicated track. I'm sure others feel my concerns are unwarranted........
After having a Master Machinist friend reduce the thickness of the front of the trigger bow, I was able to utilize the Red Dirt USA trigger, have all safety functions pass, and still have sufficient "pre-travel" to allow full function of the hammer's half cock with full disconnector reset!
IMHO, I think it turned out very nice and am in the process of field testing in the very near future. Dry fire, feel, fit, and function are excellent in bench testing!
Looks good! I have the same trigger

If it’s under $2,500 it would still be a maybe for me. Would need to find out as much info about it as possible. Also, the super old guns have older comp tech, etc.

I sent pictures of the dent on barrel and slide to Limcat...... Apparently that how the mark the parts to know which barrel goes to which slide after slide comes back from coating
That’s great news. Have fun.

I don’t get the appeal of the DWX? Either you want a 2011 or you want a shadow. The shadows shape is better I get that and the 2011 triggers are some of the best. I understand these two things but the slide on the DWX would be the downside for me if I was a shadow guy.
It shoots as soft or softer than any 2011 I have owned and is still the most accurate gun I’ve ever shot. Wish there was more parts support though.

i use my Atlas Artemis(sight block) for LO i like the sight block for me it keeps the gun very flat and that's what i like. i think all of this is personal preference and if possible shoot as many of these variants as possible to see what feels the best to YOU. also recoil spring tuning on guns can make a world of difference with the competition ammo you use. like most said 124g ammo is what most run its usually lowest PF factory ammo.
Thanks!

Got the gun and shot club match the same day ! Feels and shoots pretty good. Got pretty good results.
After inspection of the gun next day found a few thing that previous owner was aware of but did not tell me
Small chip on the slide and small chip on the barrel.... Does not look like cracks... But makes me little nervous.
That looks fine to me but ask Johnny if you really feel the need. I would just keep shooting it!

How are you mounting the 507comp to your PCC? TIA
Any SRO/RMR rail mount will work.
