  1. Thanks for nothing everyone. I do want to report back in case anyone else runs into this problem. Gun ran fine during live fire. I can't explain why. I even made sure I held the trigger all the way back after firing and the gun would reset and fire the next round. However, when trying to simulate the same thing without ammo during dryfire, the gun doesn't reset. Beats me?????
  2. Ha. Thought that was a little different reply from them. However, they were friendly on the phone and they said that no one has come back to tell them the two fixes they mentioned had not worked. Just hoping someone on here had a quicker/ cheaper fix.
  3. I have installed Timney Alpha triggers in 4 or 5 Shadow Systems firearms and had no issues at all. Today I installed one in the XR920 and had an issue. I can rack the slide and it will dry fire each time. However, if I try to check the reset on the gun, I get nothing. I simply have to rack the slide while not having the trigger pressed and it will fire like normal. This has not happened with any previous install. Has anyone else had this issue? I called Timney and their reply was that sometimes their trigger works with the Shadow Systems guns and sometimes it doesn't. They said it was 50/50. They suggested that I use a stock Glock connector and stock Glock housing. Thanks for any info.
  4. I agree. The former and present guns I own are so close in comparison, that I can't justify the price difference.
  5. I have had 2 Atlases and got rid of them both. I now have 2 MPA's. I love them. Not going to bash any company but I have 2 close friends that have Atlases and they now have bought MPA's and they both love them.
  6. The best thing to do that anyone that is having problems with this gun can do, is send it back to Springfield. They are reaming and polishing the chamber. They are also polishing the ramp. These things are making all the difference in the world in that gun.
  7. I think it has something to do with the barrel link movement when installing the thumbrest pin through it. I think the "play" in the link shifts it a little to where the thumbrest doesn't line up with the recessed area on the slide. If I machine away part of the thumbrest that goes up against the slide I think it will fit into the recessed area better and allow it to fit more flush.
  8. Just got the XR920. Of course the trigger is much improved over a stock Glock. Right now, the trigger pull is around a constant 3lbs 11 oz. I would def like this trigger to be lighter/better. Will dropping an Apex kit or one of the other brand kits improve this trigger? Just didn't know what trigger SS systems is using on this gun and if it would be worth the money to buy one of the drop in kits. Thanks for any info.
  9. This is actually the one I got. It is going to take some fitting.
  10. I just have not experienced what others have. But I did think that it could use a tad heavier spring. Didn't know why people were thinking of jumping from a 9lb straight to a 12lb rather than a 10. However, I always try to make it a practice of breaking in a gun with a couple hundred rounds of factory ammo before trying reloads.
  11. 5 inch. I willl go back and change my post to reflect that.
  12. I have the 5 inch version with several hundred rounds with several types of ammo through it. No problems. (Only issue that I had is with my ammo and it is because of a bulged case. This barrel/chamber does seem a little tight with less tolerance than some other guns. My Atlas was the same way.) It is funny when people ask about accuracy as that is so subjective. The gun is way more accurate than 6 inches at 25 yards. To me, this gun seems to shoot softer than any gun I have ever owned. This is including several of the more expensive CZ's and a couple of Atlas pistols. Grip is very nice for a stock grip. The trigger is too heavy in my opinion and I plan on changing that. Otherwise, I am happy and pleasantly surprised with the gun. Including two pictures. The one with the larger group was 10 yards and pulling the trigger pretty fast. The one with the tighter group was from 5 yards and the first shots with my reolads. This was pulling the trigger and immediately when the gun was "settled" pulling the trigger again. It was def under 4 seconds for those 5.
  13. I have purchased the 5 inch Springfield Armory Prodigy. I just purchased a thumbrest that takes place of the slidestop. I have purchased several of these same slide stops for various CZ pistols. (Of course this new thumbrest is one that is made for 2011s) The thumbrests worked fine and fit flush However, the thumbrest for the prodigy does not seem to fit as flush in the gun as the stock slide stop lever. This doesn't bother me but I have noticed that the plunger tube is pushed in and always pressed (not fully extended) when the stock stop in inserted. However, when the thumbrest is in, it does not go in deep enough that the plunger tube is indented. It is actually fully extended like it would be if the gun were broken down and did not a have slide stop in at all. This is because there is actually a gap on the thumbrest that allows the plunger tube to protrude. If I were able to push the thumbrest in a little more, it would cause the plunger tube to be indented. Nothing is affected in the way the slide moves back and forth on the frame. Is this a problem if the tube is not indented? Hopefully my post makes sense. Thanks for any help.
  14. Going to be honest with you as myself and several friends had the first version. The fitment and trigger seem to be a good bit better than on the newer versions. I like the extended trigger, mag release, and blended magwell on the newer version (which are things we did to our gun anyway) but definitely prefer the fit of the older version.
