Sees Sights Lift

Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. I'm currently using an 8lb wolff commander spring in my 4.25 prodigy and 135 power factor loads. With my loads and the 10 lb, the brass just trickled out of the gun. I really like the recoil impluse and can track the dot very well.
  2. I replaced mine with a Novak cut Dawson. Only took minimal fitting.
  3. Shot my first match with my optic mounted DWX. Used the W74 tungsten rod with a 10 lb Cajun recoil spring, running 135 ish power factor 147 grain. I have been shooting A01 sds for a while. I have to say that the DWX is by far my favorite gun to shoot. Very soft, good transitions, points well. I need to trust myself. I took several extra shots at the match, and I found 3 hits on the targets all but 1 time. Very forgiving. CZC did a great job with the trigger and the optic mounting. Like the Floyds magwell. It worked pretty well with the short Lok Bogies. It ran 100 percent, which is impressive as the range I was at had put sand in the bays to reduce ricochets. I never cleaned a mag, and used the same 4 throughout the match. I really like the A01s, but love the DWX. I spent a lot of time on 1911s and 2011s in my youth, so this feels very natural, but with better reliability. When I was sighting it in, I was getting some pretty impressive groups too. Next time I'm at the bench, I'll see if I can replicate them and take some pics.
  4. I like the Floyds myself. I have a W74 tungsten rod/stainless rod. It only has a tungsten insert so it's like 1.5 ounces. I haven't shot much side by side with stock yet, but I'll post when I do so.
  5. Mine was not recoated after optic cut. The SRO fits the cut snuggly and no steel is visible.
  6. That quote was from Stuart. If Stuart says it's stainless, It's Stainless. I don't believe it's cerakote either. I think it's a black nitride.
  7. Lok mags the aluminum and brass magwell and matching grips that fit.
  8. I’m using czc basepads and there seems to be plenty of space in the Floyd’s magwell. So I’m guessing yes but don’t know for sure
  9. It’s the Floyd’s TS version. Fit on perfect pretty close to factory magwell bevel.
  10. Well over 1000 rounds on mine. Absolutely no issues. Everyone that has tried it loves it. My only issue is that while it's a great gun, it doesn't, for me, have any place in competition. However, with the provisional Limited Optics in USPSA starting in March, I'm going to redo the trigger, and have it milled for optics.
  11. I put a Dawson .090 front sight on today. Novak cut. Required a fair amount of fitting. The stock sight seemed to be fit very well. The sight picture, for me, is greatly improved. I also changed the sear spring out. Got the trigger to 3.5 lbs. the only complaint I have is the fact that the beaver tail is fixed and the hammer/sear are in a sub assemble make it a bit harder to adjust the sear spring.
  12. That’s standard Novak right? I bought a couple of Dawson Novak cut sights. I didn’t think they looked right. Might just need some fitting
  13. Does anyone know what the front sight dovetail cut is. I want a narrower sight but not sure what, if any, of the standard cuts it is.
  14. I shot again today. I’ve got a total of 500 rounds through it. With only the two failures to go into battery early on. Many runs through the 140 mm cz custom mag extension with no issues. I benched it today. a friend of mine asked if you need to short load ammo as with czs. I loaded some 147 sns flat points to 1.55 and they ran like a champ. No issues and easily extracted by handMy eyes still had issues with the sights but my best 5 shot groups were 2 inches and one with 4 shots in an inch and the fifth made it 2”. Worst group was 4”. Which was most likely my error. I’ll be switching to a .100 front and red optic as I’m wearing hunter hd glasses and the green fiber optic outdoors is too bright. The recoil spring is heavy. Even for factory ammo. It cycles but empties are not flung very far. The rear sight adjustment screw does not move the sight much with each click. Not an issue as there was plenty of elevation available to get it near point of impact. The gun flat runs and shoots well. I’ll be switching hammer spring to a lighter one and adjusting sear spring to lighten the trigger a bit. And getting a lighter recoil spring as soon as I can figure out what it takes. . i feel it’s a nicely made machine well worth the money.
