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.

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.

I've read from a few people that the minus connector in the gen 5 glocks makes them feel "mushy". I haven't tried myself so I am curious your thoughts. Since you are running it, can you give me an idea of the overall feel? Thanks.
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.

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.
-
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.

Are you loading 9mm?
I have used it with SNS (they recommended SP), Blue Bullets and Xtreme plated 9mm.

Everglades 124gr Recess base RN is all I use now since switching from their 147gr bullets. They remind me of the Berry's hollow base round nose bullets. Accuracy is really good and their special price is attractive. They always offer free shipping. My load is 3.4gr of Titegroup with a 1.130 OAL
Give them a try, you wont be disappointed.
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.

Do you guys prefer SP vs TG? They say its less smokey
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?

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.

80% frames
in Glock
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.

Off-topic question: I've just installed a 10lb recoil spring on my gun, is it normal for the guide rod to "go out" of the frame like this ? (sorry for my bad english
)
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.

NW,
Can you please post a pic of those high tops from the side?
Thanks in advance!
-
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.

Which DIY upgrades would you do to a Shadow 2?
in CZ

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.
