So CGW sent me an email that they were ready for my slide and got it done in 3 weeks. It’s in its way back now beyond happy especially for the price.
Looking forward to CGW doing mine as well.

I have seen some people mention online they have a P320 with a Sig Armorer Competition Action Job along with an Armory Craft trigger? Are there any benefits? Aside from just dialing in the desired pre and over-travel reduction, does the AC trigger provide a reduced trigger pull versus just the action job?
Armory craft has both flat and curved triggers. Comes down to geometry and or your preferences honestly. The advantage comes from Robert’s work is outstanding and you can dial in your preference on the adjustment screws on the AC trigger so you trust it. Nothing much secret about that other than Robert’s proprietary secrets to his action work

Long Shadow was able to make me holsters that worked well. I may have a used one or sale soon.
or you could go the GX route as well
both great companies

For anyone interested you may want to contact Robert Burke the Sig Armorer as he is releasing his own trigger soon and he has some pretty awesome equipment that measures trigger pull. If he does action work for you maybe he can show you the details. Contact him about details.

I am am not a fan of set screws in triggers.

they’re great when they work, nightmare if stripped or stuck.
some good suggestions in this thread on troubleshooting though.

For those interested I got the slide back with no fix. Was told it was supposed to look like that. They used red loc tite on the bushing and stuck a new pin in. I’ve got roughly 300 rounds on it and it seems to be holding. Let’s see for how long
I’m interested, who is they though, I’m not tracking or missed who did the work for you. Cajun perhaps?

The stock button has 3 positions. I run mine at the setting that brings the button up the highest. This helps me to have consistent mag release button depression.
This feature is awesome!

I’m learning how to press my new S2 straight to the back with DA, I’m not sure I understand this talk or prepping it?

Wonder if evolution users can upgrade to the primer shuttle without the primer collator.

Tried that several times. It seems to have broke in a way i can't get it to rotate at all with the guide rod forward. I think i literally got an "unlucky" break. Pun intended.
When mine have broken, I’ve used a Dremel to do like echotango’s picture. Have to be careful but it’s possible to do this after a break.
I like the idea of precutting in case they break -

Couldn’t tell from the site - does the lube need removal before firing?
Sorry for the delayed response, some folks like to dry tumble to remove any left over lube/residue. I personally don't have a need to wipe or remove the lube when used in my factory Sig guns.

I like when discussing/teaching concepts with folks because sometimes you have to be adaptive in how you articulate something and it helps reinforce your understanding to be able to do that. Learned the same thing in scouting. We would have to complete requirements for ranks and badges, but then as you progressed you essentially had to teach and lead others and that forces not only a check for understanding but often times you get another perspective that can lead to deeper understanding for you even as the leader/instructor.
Plus the best part of the other posts in this thread and OP post is parents spending time with their child/children, educating them about 2a and firearm safety (sucks most kids are taught about firearms negatively thanks to the media/tv/school/etc I’ll stop there to not get political), and I salute you all for being doing actual parenting, period.
I’m thankful my dad educated me early, along with Eddie Eagle/NRA kids stuff, 10 commandments of firearms safety, Boy Scouts, and so on.
anyway, great post!
other cool thing to go with the teaching one another is training. Local guy runs practice days where he gets a squad of people together and breaks down a uspsa stage and everyone runs it but they also take time to discuss strategies, techniques, safety, etc. might be good for other folks to try in their area.

There was a hole in the concrete block wall with a small conveyor coming through it. A rack of maybe 100 primer cups would come in that way. The folks working in there would use something like a stiff squeegee to scrap a small amount of the green explosive paste off a chunk on the table (maybe the size of two sandwiches stacked up), and then smear it into the cups. They had to swipe it a few times to get the fill just right in their expert and practised eyes. When done they would put the tray back on the conveyor and send it out the other hole in the wall. I don't recall when or how the anvils were inserted. Maybe they were already in the cups when they arrived. I can't remember.
The 'guide' was explaining about why the humidity level was at/almost 100% to keep the stuff from lighting off spontaneously, and it's stored in water. In its native state, if it gets dry, even the lightest touch imaginable to pick it up and return it to it's water bath could cause a tremendous explosion. He also explained how they're constantly linked to weather radar to know when to shut it down and get out. If there's lightning within 5 miles (pretty sure that was the distance) they Stop! and exit. The storage bunkers for the finished product are rather small (maybe 5'x5', on stilts) and spaced far apart out in a secured pasture on the property. They looked to have 15-20 yards between them.
I had serious visions of some super-automated process before I went in there, like the rest of the facility. Once I learned the very high level of risk they were faced with, and how manual the process is, I just don't know how they could do it faster without simply duplicating that small area and process -- an expensive and dangerous proposition, at best.
Remember, these folks have been the business of automated ammo manufacturing for a long time (what? over a hundred years?), and this is how they feel they have to do it.
It was downright spooky, and my feet were itching to get the Hell out of there.
And I thought watching the youtube videos of guys remanufacturing used primers was hokey/loony. I mean the compound pourers are mad chemists that we truly undervalue and this story you shared proves it. Any info on the match grade vs standard federal primers? I believe the rumor was the match grade ones are poured by more experienced folks was the primary difference, just curious if anyone truly knows. Thanks for sharing!

This thread makes me want to stretch now. Sorry to hear you folks had injuries while trying to shoot and have fun.

Plus one for VV N320.
I'd be curious to try sport pistol sometime though.

And how many of those changes were for the better? Just about none.
This was an interesting watch, thanks for sharing.

My Sig Romeo1 Pro stopped keeping it's zero. I contacted their costumer service via their website on Nov 17th. Received a reply email on Dec 3rd, and then they went radio silent. I followed up twice and still no reply.
Have folks received the same experience? Any tricks to getting an optic serviced by SIg?
Hello,
I recommend calling as well.
Backstory:
My Romeo 3XL on my training pistol stopped holding zero on the windage. It would drift and then I knew it was time for a warranty request when I was maxed out on Left windage adjustment and still hitting two inches left while shooting from rest.
What happened when I called:
Anyway, my point is that I called the customer service number and the team member that took my call was ridiculously nice, collected my info, told me about improvements they've made regarding the normal use and abuse on the optic. He got me an RMA, prepaid via Fedex if you're curious, and was so nice I forgot to ask my other questions about LCI barrels.
Thanks BillChunn for sharing your experience about the LCI; I plan to request an exchange for no LCI barrels due to shooting with an optic.
Positive Outcomes: Hope this helps you gain a little faith back with customer service.
Happy New Year,
Malin

Thanks, Merldizzle. I don’t have the press, but do have the Grease, syringe, and Starrett already here. I’ll look at the brass juice lube.
Sure thing,
Here's a link to their site for you. Brass Juice Link

Brass Juice case lube has been really good for us. We upgraded from a Hornady LNL to a Mark 7 EVO. So long as we take good care of the press, it spoils us. Maintaining the machine is just as important. Grease and Starrett machine oil is all you need for the press along with brass juice case lube and wash
