I shoot Uspsa,scsa, skeet, trap, long range. Been using various passive in ear and electronic muffs and recently got fitted for Soundgear Phantom at local hearing aid store. I can’t imagine going back to anything else other than for quick casual use after using these last few matches. Rechargeable with long lasting batteries, Bluetooth, full function control from your smart phone, excellent sound profiles and noise suppression. And comfortable to wear all day. Not cheap but I look at the multiple number of electronic muffs I have and Ive already spent that type of money on less than ideal HP. Best decision I’ve made for HP https://soundgear.com/collections/custom-fit/products/soundgear-phantom?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs53T_N_X8wIViLLICh3PEA1fEAAYASAAEgIc4PD_BwE

The Timney rear bridge needs a couple minutes on the belt grinder to remove a little bit of material so it drops down into lower being it’s smaller channel than standard AR lower. pretty simple to do and fits nice and snug.

Mine fits fine in my Comptac international holster

Toss slide and 10x bushing in freezer for about 20 min. Remove pin. Insert deep socket into slide against bushing that fits just right. Use soft jaw vise and tilt slide slightly in vise jaws so one corner is on end of socket and other on front of slide just below bushing. Tighten down vise jaws and press busing right out super easy. Thumb pressure to install 10x. Reinstall pin. 22 min total.

Got mine when first released. Few thousand rounds with them on my S2 and daily carry P01. Best thing ever to me.

My XDm 4.5 and 5.25 and 4.5 OSP noticeably more accurate with .356 147 FP from SNS or Gallant plus cheaper than MG. 1.135 OAL. I’m running CFE powder 4.0 grains for 930fps out of the 5.25. TG was too smokey and accuracy wasn’t as tight compared to CFE for me. NV 320 was nice compromise but price deal I got on CFE was hard to beat. Plus it cleans up much easier.

Pic was before opening up notch

I did the fully adjustable one from CZCustom. I also opened up rear notch to .160 width so I had better spacing with front .095 Dawson front. RT hand Left eye dominant so wider overall rear blade helps with ghost image of front.

Duluth Flex series pants or shorts. . They have heavy cargo down to light weight fast dry thickness fabric as well as various pocket options.

Peltor Tactical 500 with gunfighters gel cups. 26 db protection and very good electronics for talking plus Bluetooth. very comfortable. Bulkier than sordins but my ears are protected and no ringing end of day without having to double up like with sordins. Peltors also great indoors

If you want the trigger to break as far forward as possible you don’t want the RRK kit. Unless you want the flat trigger than you’ll need RRK kit to have correct operation of trigger swing. . But the end result will be same as stock. I’d recommend taking measurements of your pistol and compare to both mine before and after. Each has full trigger kit with RRK kit.

If you want the trigger moved back so it is easier to reach, IE shorter in DA and SA then the Reach Reduction Kit is your answer. And the flat trigger has to be used with the RRK. However because the face is flat compared to curved you end up with face of trigger same distance as stock curve rd trigger face. So it’s a wash. mod you want the trigger to break earlier and reset quicker then the trigger kit and RRK with fitted disconnector will help that with either trigger.

CFE Pistol. 4.0 grains 1.135 OAL. 147flat point SNS or Gallant .356 920-930 fps out of 5” barrel at 3k elevation slower burning than TG and i rally like the slide action. Cleans up off pistol fairly easy as well.

I played with mine also like that for a bit just to try it just because that was my first and only “competition” pistol and was shooting limited major to start. Wanted to try production and figured why not load it down. 180s at around 730 fps. Cycled fine with both 14-16lb recoil spring but ran 16lb mostly for quicker slide back on target. Fun experiment and if the 5.25 40 was my only gun I’d recommend doing it as you could go from production minor bunny fart loads and right back to limited Major with ease.

Hit the range today and put a couple hundred rounds on each pistol. Running a variety of drills. Splits and accuracy are still spot on as with 85 trigger so no issue with pull. It feels good under recoil. It’s a keeper.
