  1. I have the Midwest extended 14" handguard. I'm pretty happy with it, but it wraps around the take barrel takedown ring and makes it hard to spin, so to clean the gun/barrel I have to take the front sight and handguard off and go from there. Not a big deal but kind of annoying when I want to run a patch down the barrel. 

  2. I have one I’ve been happy with, the only issues I’ve had are when I used a an el cheapo Glock knock off mag in it. I have a Tandemcross trigger and Midwest hand guard on it and it runs. It’s kind of funny watching people with JP’s, etc. fight with their rifles at matches and my $440 PCC just works.

    Get a Shadow 2. The Shadow 1 platform is obsolete now.

     

    Dang, anyone want my shadow 1? I picked up a pretty much new Target 2 right before Christmas for $900. I would take that over a base S2 for $100 more. That's the nice thing about buying obsolete stuff. 

  4. I have some thin aluminum ones that came on my SP01 shadow target that are pretty damn grippy. I threw some palm swells on them though because I have huge hangs, but if I wanted thin grippy grips I would have stuck with the ones that came on it. 

  5. Oh, they're doing it on the 97 platform? Guess I should have looked closer at the pic. Cool. I was thinking they were converting the 40cals to 10mm. Might have to get a 97 now!

     

     

  6. Got a Tac Ultra 9mm last week. Stripped the whole thing down and scrubbed it and polished stuff up. Threw it in the ultra sonic cleaner and it got all the grit and oil off of it. Feels like a new gun! I had a few extractor issues after a couple hundred rounds, but I tensioned it a bit and it's ran flawlessly since. Pretty happy so far. I have a hayes magwell and grips coming soon. 

    I'm not sure about the rear sights, but they're nice enough so I probably won't mess with them for awhile. 

  7. Conversion? I imagine they put in a new barrel (or make the chamber longer in a 40?), put in some springs, and give you some new mags (or put in a new follower?)

     

     

  8. I stopped by my local gun store/indoor range today and they happened to have just got in 2 RIA Tac's yesterday, and they had one left, and well, I bought it. Put 250 rounds thru it out of the box. The first couple 150 ran great, however I got some extraction issues in the last 100. I stripped it down when I got home and cleaned the gunk out, I'll see how it does tomorrow. First impressions, wow, it shoots flat. Pretty fun gun for the money. 

  9. Yeah, I was going to say swing weight and grip are probably going to be the interesting part of the comparison. The internals in the 2 guns are set up the same more or less (I'm not sure what springs weights are in the new gun but they feel pretty close.) and the trigger weights feel pretty close. I don't reload 9 mm right now, so having a main spring that can pop most primers reliably is more important then the lightest unreliable spring I could run. The big reason I got the Target 2 was to see if I liked a lighter gun then the  Shadow 2. 

     

  10. I’ve been running a Shadow 2 for a year now and I found a great deal on a Shadow Target 2 I couldn’t pass up yesterday. I can take some side by side pics if you want, I should get to the range in a few days and can give some side by side comparison. I have XL size hands fwiw. 

  11. I have a new small frame Lim Pro I've been trying to bolo. I'm on my 2nd one (I wish PD had a trade in program while you figure it out..) 

    So I think to get the DA to work on the SF you need to remove material from the inside  front of the curve to increase the DA throw. I tried removing material from the 'point' 

    as someone suggested but it didn't work. I introduced a little SA pre travel with the 2nd one, I may try a 3rd at some point to see if I can get it 100% there.

    Bad asciii art, I can take some pics if need be but I don't want to take that thing apart for awhile.
