  1. too much slop such as I had in stock Para triggers, some JB weld add to the top and bottom of the trigger, then follow the steps outlined by IDPA nut to get a perfect fit.
  2. what width FS are you using with the 10-8 rear .140 notch? thanks
  3. that looks way cooool!!!! I like it!!!!
  4. if you live in California, yeah...thats a great price
  5. good tip! kinda of funny
  6. too bad, I really liked that SW gun. thanks
  7. the new SW 1911 45's have slots in the slide...are those legal? Cuts that are designed to specifically or significantly lighten the slide, such as holes, or slots, are ruled as competitive advantage and prohibited. Those guns are mass produced to the public... thanks
  8. this just me but I have tried the ISMI 12.5, didnt care for it, I have tried the Variable 12 from Wolf and I could feel the difference between the Var and Conv but that only lasted for about 20 rds or so. So, in the end I just went back to using Wolf Conventional springs, thats it, Rather a 12lb or a 13lb in a 40 gun will fine. All this was in a SV 40. Now, mind you, depending on the powder you are using matters a great deal on the weight of the spring you will use! Ive used TG with a 180 Zero/1.180 OAL @ 4.5 grs and could never really use a 12lb spring in my SV pistol, just felt as if the slide was banging against the Grod. Recently change over to WST and what a diffence! Same specs. to OAL abd bullets except now its at 5.2 grs of WST. In the same SV 40 gun I was able to lower the recoil spring to 12lbs and shoot the gun comfortably. Now am using a Para 40 with STI mags same load of WST using a 13 lb Wolf conventional spring, I have not tried a 12lb only because Brownell and Speedshooters were out of them, I have some on backorder. In the end, what Ive noticed is that there is a difference in feel and front sight tracking between a 12 and 13 lb spring but really what matters most is tracking your sights and shooting for points. When your pumped up, you can shoot that gun as fast it can go, no matter the spring. Sometimes, having too light of a spring weight in the gun, I tend to or its just too easy to throw out shots without really aimming! Just a slight heavier weight in spring, gives me more a "up and down" to the front sight tracking and just that extra "milasecond" to prep the trigger and aim the shot, if all that makes any sense. IMHO...
  9. dirt...before I get the "shooter ready" just place the palm of strong hand "lightly" on the ground, rub it with the other hand and away I go!
  10. SV gun 5" : 180 gr Zero / 1.180 OAL / 5.2 gr WST works very well I have used TG before but WST is a much better powder.
  11. SV gun I used to use TG/4.5 grs with Zero 180 FMJ @ 1.180 makes major but now I use WST a much better. better powder! 180 FMJ @ 1.180 / 5.2 grs of WST makes major. TG was really harsh compared to WST, I really didnt think it would make that much of a difference but it did. Try you ammo @ 1.180 OAL
  12. what was just posted here (about the Para) will not hold you back from climbing the ladder of competition! the above comment about "lack of the affluent affection.... " What matters is practice and desire
  13. My point is what if I already have the edge and want to mod it. I will have a custom built down the road but I would like to mod the edge until I can have something built. Edge with a good trigger job is as good as it gets, everything else is just style.. Seriously.. No performance difference.. what Carlosa said! good TJob. everything is just style
  14. speedshootersinternational has them but he is "out of stock" ...
  15. while we are changing the holster rule, how about magazine pouch positions? Why should we have them in the concealment position?
  16. cool looking! I like Para guns even though I do shoot a SV gun. But I really do like Para's.
  17. I total agree with this statement!
  18. it just occured to me... about the "trust he displayed" on the Star reloader? What the cops with the smokes the ear and mouth!!!!! Talk about trusth!
  19. that was great to see that!!!!!! reminds me of my club range, probably built around the same time frame. And that Star! My first reloader ) thanks
  20. how true!!!!!! just a tease from the factories...
  21. what does it read on the side of the slide?
  22. maybe before you buy the gun, you should look into getting magazines????
