DrawandDuck Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Got my new SV last Thursday....one word sums it up "perfection".......I have put about 150 rounds through it and it tracks like my current SV.....new one is metal grip while my current one has the polymer grip....feel is somewhat different but not much. Current gun is bullet proof and I have 100% confidence in the setup. Shot AL Section last month 10 stages 340 rnds and not a single burp.... My plan is to stay with my current gun through this season then look at changing for next year...but man it is going to be hard to put this new one in the safe......New gun is the first 6 pics, the old one is the last.

Zoomy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 How about I take care of her for you until you are ready to change over. I'll keep it oiled, polish the fenders and take her around the block every ounce in a while. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrawandDuck Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) maybe you will slow down a little now... enjoy the scenery... let someone else be Alabama champ, That is just crazy talk right there...... Heck ,I don't what else I can do to help you boys out...getting older every day, gained 25 lbs (may have to reduce the work outs from 1 per month to every other month)....don't practice.....reduced the number of matches I shoot, and normally shoot with a rock in my shoe......

But it has been 13 months now never heard from them. I would think yours should be ready soon but the only way to know is contact Brandon/SV who should be able to provide an update..heard from them last week the current wait time is 15-18 months...he said business has been REALLY good here lately.

Jaxshooter Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I appreciate where you coming from just got my new Open gun last week runs great, extremely flat etc. Problem is so is my current gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koppi Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Funny stuff on here! Shoot it Mr. Duck, save the old one for a back-up. I didn't catch the caliber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 .38 super comp.....went to the range today ran 300 round through them...Set up couple of arrays to compare draw and transition times between the two.....I was consistently .2-.3 quicker on the draw with my old gun. As for the shooting splits both are pretty much the same. After shooting the metal grip for 100 rnds I switched back to the polymer grip....felt recoil to the palm was significantly more noticable than with the metal grip....going to stick with the old gun for the MS Classic.....

BlueOvalBruin Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Does the comp have holes on one side but not the other? Looks like that from the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blujay291 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Man I could only dream of affording two of these guns, I think your problem at hand is not a problem at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I have a nearly identical pair - and without any reservations I prefer shooting the new one! The old one is great gun, no questions about that, but the new one is more solid and just feels better. So my advice is to shoot it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike g35 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'll take the old one off your hands. I should have a couple hundred bucks laying sound somewhere. LOL Beautiful guns bro. Enjoy em!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Well, first off let me start by saying NEVER speak too highly of anything or the higher powers to be will put the whammy on it......yea, got to the MS classic and first stage failure to extract doubled my time....ran fine rest of day and right up to the last stage of the match...another failure to extract cost me dearly again......lesson learned.....only thing I have done to the gun in 3 yrs is replace the sear spring. I dropped a new extractor into it but at my local match 4 stages in a row had issues......I replaced the ejector, recoil spring and main spring.......seems to be good to go. In the mean time started shooting the new gun and some may call me crazy but I just didn't like the feel and added weight of the metal grip. Took poly grip off my old gun, slapped it on the new one and everying is right in the gun universe once again. Put my backup poly grip on my old one so both guns have the same feel now. The gun is a tool and it is about what feels good not about what looks pretty.....yea, sad having a $800 grip sitting in the safe but who know I might eventually give it another try.

Foxbat Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think you made the wrong move, buddy! That metal grip is definitely worth getting used to! I would not go back, unless I had to. It was not clear to me from your description which gun had failures to extract... if new one - I had similar experience, and I replaced the stock extractor with Aftec - no more issues.

DrawandDuck Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Old gun had issues, had aftec in it and now has a new one....as for the grip kinda of hard to argue with success....I like what I like and not the type of person to go changing things unless I have a reason. Thanks for the input though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
