Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Scroll up a bit and you'll see that it looks like CZ Custom is working on an extended safety. Let's hope it comes to fruition!
  2. I'll take one!
  3. Oooo, I hadn't seen that. Sure does look like a fun option.
  4. Tough calls. If you really want a steel grip and extended/shielded safeties an LOC would be awesome. That said, I ordered my Hybrid from MPA and had them install extended/shielded safeties - it wasn't expensive. It's also pretty easy to do yourself with some care and patience (I installed them on my MPA Commander and they're better than the ones MPA installed on my Hybrid ). An Atlas is certainly an option. I keep thinking I'd like to buy a Titan but for now anyway I've convinced myself my Hybrid (and Bul Air) are more than good enough. Atlas 2011s aren't inexpensive, as we all know. Good luck!
  5. I think you'll be very happy with an MPA. For me, it's a nice balance of price and performance on a USA made gun. I may end up with an Atlas Titan or something not ultra expensive but I actually don't feel the need to rush. The MPA is certainly more capable than I am. I was planning on a Hayes Custom but the MPA has satisfied my nice 2011 lust for a while and I've decided I want Atlas adjustable grips on my next spendy 2011 if I get one. Another upside to Atlas is that they're pretty available without having to wait 8 to 12 or more months.
  6. It's kinda nice that way, since going back and forth between DA/SA and SAO becomes super easy.
  7. Yeah, Shadow 2s are terrific values as well. I lucked out with mine - the trigger out of the box was crazy nice. Be warned tho, once you grab a nice 2011 the Shadow may start collecting dust. I did have to get used to the Hybrid's grip and lack of palm swells, which I put on all my CZs. I wish they had copied the Atlas grips with adjustable panels. Also, while I'm on the grips, I feel the side panels on the Hybrid grips, both with the aggressive grip and medium grip, aren't aggressive enough.
  8. Hi, I contacted MPA and they said they're getting more machines up and running to make thier grips and once that happens (next few months), grips will become available for separate purchase. I was asked if I'd be OK with a blem grip. I said sure but haven't heard back from them. This was a few weeks ago. As for the Hybrid, it's now my most often shot and favorite handgun, edging out my Bul Air. I recently shot my CZ TSO, CZ TS2 Green, Air and Hybrid side by side. I actually shot them about the same (paper at 50ft and at steel). On the paper, doing slow and timed fire type stuff,it really was a wash both accuracy and comfort/enjoyment-wise, with maybe a slight edge going to the Hybrid and TS2 (both the heaviest guns with biggest grips). Doing doubles, it was the same result, no surprise. On steel, I was fastest with most accurate transitions with the Air, then the TS2 and Hybrid then the TSO. The lighter Air, with its low dot height showed its stuff. I also shot doubles on transition and was best with the heavy TS2, then the Hybrid and Air then the TSO. So, aside from maybe validating that the TS2 is a pretty great value, all I can say is that I reach for the Hybrid now when I head to the range, with the Air tagging along as backup. I think an LOC Hybrid would rock.
  9. If you ever do decide to convert it to SAO there's no need to remove the disco, just replace the trigger with a single action trigger.
  10. Thanks for the update. I'm enjoying my DS9 Hybrid quite a lot. I still can't decide if I like it or my Bul Air more. I *think* the Bul's traditional grip and lower optic may point the gun more naturally for me but I can't decide if it's just the fact I've got more time in with the Air. I do think I'm gonna give MPA a call next week and try to talk them into selling me a steel grip to try on the Hybrid. It'd be fun to compare the aluminum vs the steel.
  11. I might agree with that so far.
  12. Good luck! I'm trying a DPM Systems spring kit in mine. I need to get out and shoot it more before I decide whether it's worth the cost or not.
  13. Hi, you can buy a P07/P10c guiderod and a lighter P07/P10c spring. Or a DPM Systems spring kit.
  14. I'm pretty sure any 2011 STI style mags will work. My Staccato mags work.
  15. I have 2 MPAs; 1 with aggressive grips and 1 with standard. I've currently got Lok Boggies on another gun and have had them on more. I'd say the standard grips are slightly less aggressive than new Boggies. The front strap on the aggressive grips is far more aggressive than Boggies. Mine basically had a lot of needle points. It was painful. I've got desk jocky who works out a lot hands - not too soft, but not overly callused either. I sanded down the points just a touch with 1000 grit paper. It's kinda perfect now. The side panels of the aggressive grips are similar to the Boggies. I actually wish the side panels on the MPA grips were more aggressive. Anyway, I'd suggest just getting the aggressive grips and if they're too masochistic, just hit them with some fine grit wet/dry sandpaper. Took me 5 minutes to get mine to feel great.
