I'm also coming from strikers and a worked over Stock 2. I can tell you that a Pre B disco and CZC Comp hammer dropped right in with zero fitting. Pre-travel & reset were short with crisp break. I think the biggest improvement was finding the right grips.
-
I would recommend just shooting it a while and figure it out from there. It may be perfect for you out of the box. I put in all the go fast parts and ended up going back to the stock parts with 11lb recoil/hammer springs and a set of Lok grips.

I've been trying different fmj's lately since the price difference has closed up but decided to grab a few boxes of Xtreme 147's during their Halloween sale. The quality looks the same and to my surprise I received a shipping notification the fallowing day and they showed up on my doorstep 2 after that. They used to take 1-3 weeks.

Blade Tech Signature series OWB holster
NWfront replied to reloader550's topic in Gear & Accessories
Anyone ever try one of these signature series out? I've been looking for a reasonable priced SP01 holster for use in IDPA a half dozen times a year. -
Can the Rami spring be used with the OEM firing pin in a standard SP01? I'm planning to run a 13lb or stock S2 hammer spring so I'm not sure I will need the extended firing pin.

Glock shooters, do you leave the trigger stock?
NWfront replied to midvalleyshooter's topic in Glock
I found it to be really smooth and has a nice break with the stock springs. Not sure what connector came in the comp kit I tried out but it gave it a mushy break that was just awful. -
Glock shooters, do you leave the trigger stock?
NWfront replied to midvalleyshooter's topic in Glock
In my Gen 4's I went with a few different full kits with good results but the Gen 5's are back to stock. The kits just made them lighter but ruined the feel. I did install polished OEM minus connectors on the models that didn't have it from the factory. -
TG vs Sport Pistol vs CFE-P, Vs Clean shot smoke test
NWfront replied to evild's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
As planned I switched back to the TG I had but after a a couple hundred rounds I ordered another 8lb jug of SP. The gun just runs much cleaner and cooler. -
I was able to test out some of these under 4.2gr of Sport Pistol today. I didn't get a chance to chrono but accuracy was excellent out to 30yrds.

TG vs Sport Pistol vs CFE-P, Vs Clean shot smoke test
NWfront replied to evild's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
I have used it with SNS (they recommended SP), Blue Bullets and Xtreme plated 9mm. -
Sounds like accuracy isn't an issues. I'm curious about velocities compared to a standard base 124gr .355-.356 dia bullet and if the base will really allow for a better seal. I think i may have a few Xtremes I can load up for comparison.

TG vs Sport Pistol vs CFE-P, Vs Clean shot smoke test
NWfront replied to evild's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
I found SP runs much cooler and quiet a bit cleaner than TG. With coated I definitely prefer it but now that I've started using FMJ/plated again I will go back to TG just because it's easy to find locally. -
After loading extrmes for a couple years I decided try a box of these. I received them and they all seem to measure .354. My Dillon Dies resize the brass down to where I don't see bullet set back being a problem. Anyone running these notice this and should I be concerned with other possible issues?

Glock trigger upgrades, best bang for your bucks parts?
NWfront replied to midvalleyshooter's topic in Glock
I liked my DK the best fallowed by Johnny's but as far as bang for the buck I really like the OC custom trigger bar and housing with the polished (-) connector and springs. For around $80 delivered you get a smooth trigger with adjustable pre/over travel. Just the bar with TTI kit is excellent as well. -
The top of the grip on the original palm swells do not come up as high as they do on the thin grips. I like to grip high on the gun so had my S2 palm swells made with the extended tops added. If you give him a call he will get you squared away.
-
I'm liking the custom palm swells so much I upgraded my original thins to a second set. Looks like I have no other choice but to get another CZ for the black pair.
-
I'm curious about how the revised V2 full size versions are holding up. I've always wanted a 17L but the gen 3's give me slide bite.
-
I had the the CZC Comp hammer in for a few matches and went back to stock. It felt great when dry fired but just wasn't working out in live fire. It was nice and crisp I just shoot better with a smooth break. I think it just depends on what kind of trigger break you prefer.
-
It's normal wear from the hammer coming back at speed during the slide cycle.
-
I agree with previously stated advice to leave it stock or near stock for a while. After experimenting with a Pre B Disco & Comp hammer I discovered that to me at least these were not really upgrades but just a way to change the way the trigger feels. I found that other than a little take up I personally prefer the stock parts.
-
Rack the slide a few times and it should fall into place. If not just remove the guide rod then reinstall it and that should do the trick.
-
My S2 palm swells come in at 1.87oz (53g) for the pair minus the screws. I do have extended thin style tops on mine but can't imagine that little material adds much weight.
-
I just received a set of custom high top S2 palm swells today. I will need to test them out live fire but so far I'm really liking how they fill the hands compared to the thins.

Happy to donate. Thanks for such a great resource for the competition shooting community.
