I'm curious about this myself. My Gen 5 fit my RHT without any mods and older kydex BT owb with about an 1/8" trimmed off the top where the new right side ambi release is.
-
I use the one from Vickers Tango Down. It's supposed to made from the same plastic as the oem release.
-
So I ended up throwing one in the cart with my last order figuring it would be a worth a shot. In my 34.5 the wall and reset happen at the same points as the oem minus connector but with a slight more roll to the break. It makes for a nice and smooth action but could be perceived as a bit of mush. In the end It's one of the better ones I've tried but I personally would still prefer the stock connector to it.

In my case it's been Glock to Tanfo to Glock to CZ back to Glock. After 10mo with the shadow 2 I finally sold it yesterday. The S2 is an incredibly well built gun and easy to shoot. I just found I could shoot my Gen 5 as well with a better ease of ownership. Another huge thing was being able to shoot in many different types of competition and divisions with the same gun.

With the TTI springs I could go 13lb ismi or 15 lb Wolff. The lighter ismi still seems like it locks with a little more authority.
With a factory springs I had to go up to a 17 and at that point the OEM dual spring felt the best. The OEM RS actually performs quite well in the Gen 5 to me.
-
Yes I was referring to the .270" with Wolff springs.
-
Has anyone tried one of these in a Gen 5 yet?
-
To me the loss of a little preload in the spring made it feel like I had to go with next weight up to get the same result. My 13lb spring feels like what an 11lb used to in my Gen 4. YMMV.
-
I had the oversized Jager for my gen 5 but found the longer rod took out to much preload from the spring and it had weak lock up so I went back to their small rod and ISMI springs and all has been well.
-
Connector and mag release are compatible. As for the guide rod the 19 share the same but the 17/34 Gen 5 is longer.
-
I experienced the same thing installing my new TTI's yesterday. I could tweak them enough to get the follower on but it would pop right off unless I would compress a few coils and hold it for a 10-20 seconds. That seemed to make it hold long enough to get it back in the mag tube and get things back together. I figure they will be good to go after a little use.
-
I find the the extra sight radius makes big difference. Also while I really like the balance of the 17 I do prefer the way they 34 handles recoil. I wouldn't say it's less recoil just has a different feel to it.
-
I don't really like talking negatively about a product I've personally never tried so I won't but I will say two shooters I know both had issues with all metal releases after heavy use and went back to all plastic. The one I saw up close looked like it was damaging the notch in the mags themselves where it locks in.
-
I've tried a few of the big name full kits but have gone back to the TTI GM connector kit in my Gen 4's and now 5's. In the end it's all personal preference.
-
I switched from Xtreme to Everglades and found both their plated 124RN & 147RN profile allowed me to load about as long as I wanted though I settled on 1.135

I saw an iron sights only model locally last week. They did a great job on it and I think it will do well.
-
I just installed a set of Dawson's on my new SP01. They both required a small amount of fitting and despite having the groove under the front I still had to drill it as it was slightly out of alignment.
The nice thing about Dawson's is they come with punches and their perfect impact policy so if they don't zero your covered. I have found their competition kits with FO front and blacked out rear to be about the perfect sight picture but that's a personal preference thing so you would have to figure that out for yourself.

is it temp sensitive?
I got this from an article I found while researching SP.
Jared Hinton, communications coordinator for Alliant Powder, describes Sport Pistol as "a low nitroglycerine, double-base flake propellant. On the burn rate chart, Sport Pistol would functionally replace/overlap with American Select. Temp sensitivity can change from application to application, but Sport Pistol is extremely stable with a slight negative slope. In our most comprehensive testing, it changed less than 15 fps, between 0 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit."

Maybe that's what I'm experiencing as my S2 has an 11lb HS and the SP01 has the OEM HS out of the S2 (14-14.5lb I'm told).
I'm thinking of giving the 10lb RS another try since front sight dip is the bigger issues for me.
-
For those who have ran both the S1 & S2 have you found that the S2 needs a heavier or lighter spring to get similar results? With the S2 I settled on an 11lb RS early on but recently picked up an SP01 and noticed it shoots flatter and the sights come back more consistently with the same spring. Am I wrong in assuming the S2 should be the flatter shooting gun?
-
I received my new signature holster and pouches today. The holster fit is excellent and rigid enough for the all steel gun. Smooth draw with both it and the pouches. The only thing I don't care for is how thin it gets where they folded it around the sight tunnel but my Shield's Klipt holster is the same and it's held up to years of use.

I had good luck with the dot connector in my Gen 4 before eventually getting a DK. In my Gen 5 I was happy with the TTI kit but in the new G34.5 I picked up for CO I just installed the TTI springs with the polished OEM (-) connector. The break is exactly what I was looking for and it seems to have less drag in the system compared to kits connector making for what feels like a fast trigger if that makes sense.
