What’s the science behind this?

I posted the fix in the post above this one.

Following. I’ve been looking as well…

Just to add some ffl’s won’t accept firearms from private sellers. Going thru an ffl will avoid that.

I’d second that. If they offer the steel plate for your optic, get it. The aluminum wear out too quickly

Are they waterproof? Like submersible?

I have both the CZC plate system and a direct milled slide. Both have their upsides and downsides CZC plate you can switch optics or use iron sights (if you buy the iron sight plate which is $80 I think). It sits up a little higher and I don’t think it’s quite as secure as a direct mill. No matter what I tried the screws would work loose eventually. (I’m sure someone will argue otherwise but that’s been my experience). It can sometimes be hard to find the plates in stock as well, the steel is a better choice than the aluminum ones. Direct mill is great fit, snug and low as possible. Obvious con is once you commit to an optic, that’s it, your stuck with that footprint. Fir competition don’t worry about back up sights. Most prefer to take the front sight off too. Personally I’m not sure I’d pick the delta point as my optic but that’s another discussion entirely.

Was thinking that, but the bottom coil is kind of curved around to sit flat in the basepads. Wouldn’t hurt to try I guess

Thanks guys. Seems BSPS sent me wrong ones. Guess I should’ve checked them when I received them.

Ok so I’m running 141 mags for my S2. Have grams spring and follower. Last April I ordered replacement springs from pro shop, 11 coil grams springs. I just went to replace them and they seem too long. I’m wondering if they sent 13 coil by accident. How many coils do you count on the longer one? I only count 12 but then I count 10 on my current spring?

Did you try your other barrel? I had this issue with a new S2 and Stuart at CZC (and a few other members) said to hone the chamber to remove the coating. I had another barrel from a slide I bought, I put that in and have had no issues since.

Interesting thread. I’ve only been shooting competition about 5 years and I had never known of “brassing”. I’d see the revo guys picking up their brass between stages but that’s about it. I have been called a range chicken for sticking around after the stage is broken down to grab brass. Now I just try to grab about the same amount as I shot that day. As my knees and back ache during the process I ask myself why I’m still doing it when I can’t get enough primers for all the brass I have now. But I keep going.

Just a heads up, there are a bunch of fakes out there that look very much like a real one. Not saying she might scam you purposely, but if her husband bought a knock off, she might not know.

Polish the chamber seems to be the fix. Since I switched to a barrel that had the chamber polished I’ve had no issues.

Well since the rules are changing effective in June this year there will be a lot more options. Both Red Hill Tactical and GX products make great kydex holsters. The s1 is a decent weight so I wouldn’t try any of the cheap stuff. Mag pouches I’ve had good luck with Blackhawk double mag pouches, but again with the rule changes there will be better options now.
