  1. Just to give an update to the thread.

     

    I have been in contact with DPM and have supplied them with some measurements for them to create a custom system for the TS2 in .40.  I should receive it next week for testing.  Who knows, perhaps (if successful) it may become part of their product line.

    Yes, you can definitely feel it's contacting pretty harshly when there is no buffer. Some say it shortens the stroke, others warn it *could* wear to the point of breaking apart in the gun (which would probably not be catastrophic, just annoying)

     

    But I have the DPM setup with the mid length buffer tube so that the slide really hits the breaks on the final 1/8" of stroke. Although it still technically can contact , it's greatly dampened.

    Which DPM is the one with the mid length buffer tube?

    This is what I ended up using for the TSO. although the name is certainly not totally specific is it haha

    I ordered from CZ parts instead of DPM becuase they also had the buffers in stock.  I wanted the extra buffers in case I didn't like the DPM system.  Interesting that this system worked with your TSO in .40 when it's states that it's for a different model.

     

    The main reason I'm insterested in the DPM system is to avoid the buffers completely.  I've read many individuals state they can cause problems when wearing out and to ditch them.  However, when I do that slide impact feels pretty viscous to me.  I'm just trying to find a solution that elimnates the problems associated with the buffers but still seems to protect the gun from getting beat to hell.

    That's what I have for my original TS. I found a link where there is another version for TS2 and TSO

    https://www.dpmsystems.com/cz-ts-2-9mm

    I saw that one but it only states 9mm where other versions would state 9mm and .40 S&W.  I thought possibly that it was caliber specific which is why I didn't choose that one.  The one I chose was listed on cz-parts.com under the category of TSO/TS2.  I know many parts are compatible between the TSO and TS2 but some are not.  Hence the confustion.

  5. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight into which version should be used with the TS2 .40 S&W.  I ordered this version (https://www.cz-parts.com/cz-75-tactical-sports-dpm-springs) from CZ-parts, but when I received it, I didn't have a good feeling.  The guide ruide is REALLY short.  Just cycling the slide, it seemed to function but I would like verification before attempting to put any rounds through the gun with it.  I e-mailed the company in Greece last week but have gotten no response.  Can anyone verify with 100% certainty which DPM SKU is for the TS2 in 40?

  6. They seem to cause the last few rounds to nose dive too much.  I had two malfunctions with them during a local match.  Ditched them and put the stock springs in.  No problems since.

    As much as everyone talks about GX holsters, I may get one for next year. I enjoy my RHT but the fact that people are still ordering them and know they will be waiting speaks volumes 

    While I know many people who have them and have seen them up close, they appear to be an excellent product and worth the wait.  However, you must take into consideration that it's popularity is also part of another cyclical fad in competition shooting.

    Coated bullets seem to do much worse than jacketed regardless of velocity.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this true for ALL pistols and would not be an issue limited to just the Legion? 

     

    I just wanted to clarify if this is a statement in regards to the legion or just coated bullets in general.

     

    I always seem to get better and more consistent groups with jacketed bullets across the board.  I'm guessing it's because the jacket is more consistently uniform than most coated bullets.

  9. I thought about finding an X5 upper but I like a direct mount optic and I'm not the biggest fan of the Romeo 1.  I've heard nothing but good things about the original X5 but to me, the FS is more than adequate.

  10. AXG gets my vote.  I agree with others that it seems to be more bang for the buck.

    The wilson combat grip has good ergonomics but is too slick in my opinion. Actually the best feeling grip to me is the Polymer80 for Sig.  It's a shame the mag release is polymer instead of metal.

  11. I gave up on my Legion and just went to the full size.  I hadn't chrono'd VN320 out of the Legion but out of my FS, I got 134PF with 4.3 gr of VN320 at 1.12 OAL, Rocky Mountain 124 TC (jacketed) bullets, and Federal Match primers.  132PF with Fiocchi primers.

    Would anyone using N320 care to share some relevant info?  I'm thinking after testing my current CZ loads, the it will take about 4.2g of N320 to get the 124/125g JHPs into that 135-137PF range.

    Interesting. Guess I’ll be ordering a gauge tonight to check mine before I buy more. Thanks for the reply. 

    They are probably the same but I think the official USPSA gauge is the one from EGW.  I accidentally bought the Double Alpha one.  To me the EGW is easier to use and would recommend it over the DA.

    Just curious, we’re they off by a lot? I have both (US and Italian) but haven’t bought a gauge yet to verify their fit. Also, with what base pads? My TTI pads have the slightest amount of “play” in them where I saw you can take out by hammering the lips down slightly but it doesn’t appear to be enough to make a difference if any at all 

    It wasn't a lot but enough to fail the gauge.  They were TTI extensions.

    With the full size would I likely get acceptable accuracy with a drop in Sig factory barrel?  With 135 coated down around minor pf.

    My full size has acceptable accuracy.  I cannot guarantee all full size barrels are the same.  I just haven't heard any complaints about them like the Legions.

  15. I've had Legion accuracy issues, not so with the full size.  I will probably end up getting rid of my Legion and going strictly FS (if I stay with Sig).

     

    Bar-Sto seems to be the gold standard and someone reported on another thread that they offer much better chamber support.  I haven't seen to many other reports on other barrels.  I wish there were.  Doing a search a couple of weeks ago, it seems to be very hard to find any in stock.  Many places have the 3.6 and 3.9 inch barrels but not the 4.7.  As far as what I found in stock, it seemed that it was Bar-Sto, Faxon and The Glock Store. Someone stated in another thread that Zev barrels were just milled Sig barrels.  Not sure if any of this helps but its the only input I have right now.
