gunfixer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Today I did the Red SV trigger base w/ long black insert... Sure enough.. It's TOO long... Lol.! So now I'll try a medium length "Curved Top" insert, 'hopefully better after that; It's still a perfect 2# but can't reach it properly.. The STI magwell is only temp., it is my soon to be "Cut to fit the box" IDPA 'well, the correct one will be the polished ICE that should be here in a couple of days..

Punished Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 When you did the SVI trigger swap, did your trigger pull change at all? I see you said still a perfect 2lbs, so I am guessing no? To sum it up: you just had to fit the shoe through the grip opening and your trigger weight did not change? I am thinking about doing an SVI trigger but not sure if my awesome current trigger pull will go to crud. Thanks, Gun looks great by the way!

gunfixer Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) It was a far bigger deal doing this than I had imagined (Pronounced Pain-In-The-ASS...). On the scale it's back to 2#, but I've got to admit, at least in my mind(?) it seems not quite as nice as it was before.. This may be because of the fact I used a white lithium grease this time and it feels a bit static-y.. if that makes any sense.. I have since, pulled it down again & replaced the insert w/ an Enos Short, Top Curve shoe which turned out to be... Wait for it... Too damned short for me.. Lol..! 3rd try'll be a charm; Medium Top Curve... If I had it to do over again... I would not go through this again, I would stick w/ the factory trigger for sure.. I have also tried the "Tri-Glide" (Not in this gun) and truth be known.. Didn't feel like enough difference to bother w/ IMHO... I recently got the used Dawson ICE Alum. magwell from a board member here and it was pretty rough... But man did IT clean up nicely..! I hate the looks of the white insert though, so.. If anyone has a Black one they'd like to trade for a white one, I'm the guy..! Edited February 25, 2012 by gunfixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm wrong, I'd love to know, I shoot the only what that I know of and would like a slightly longer version (top curved in this case)... I just checked sviguns to verify...

I just looked too and sure enough, they don't have/ offer a medium top curved.. There is however a standard curved medium insert. I am going to go run some rounds today and see if this'll do, I keep dry firing w/ it and it seems to be growing on me.. I think allot of my back-n-forth is that it feels much different w/ o the checkered face, etc.. Edited February 25, 2012 by gunfixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying!!Shoot the snot out of it.. Lol..! It's only been to the last match in Fernadina Beach, and I shot 200 yesterday @ stationery targets @ the DNR... With the tungsten installed, it's fairly perfecto..! Between "On-Call" at work, kids birthday parties, tax-time BS, In-Laws "Honey Does", I have missed several matches but look forward to going back next weekend if we have a good one to shoot? I'll be glad if I can hit anything after such a pause..! Whatsamatter Bud.. 'Don't like my pics or did yah just wake up feeling a 'lil bloated & irritable today..?!? You're right, I need a match...!!
