Sandbagger123 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 i am thinking of getting the LW over travel stop. want to use it for USPSA. So how well do these work?? are they reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastyboy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Mine has been working just fine for over 2000 shots. Still going strong. Gradually work your way up to limit the over travel. If you go too far, the gun will not release and you'll have to remove the cover plate. Can't speak about USPSA legalities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Never had an issue with the Vanek version I use and one has been in use for 50,000 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachvu Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I love mine. If you screw it in just a little too far, the trigger will start to feel a little mushy, like the flexing of parts is setting off the trigger rather than a clean pull. Just get it and adjust to where you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The Vanek unit uses a larger machined screw with a flat end which interfaces better with the trigger bar resulting in less mush at the end of the trigger stroke. The Vanek unit is worlds beyond the LW in quality because of that one simple little modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I still like the idea of a plastic washer in the stock unit. I mean it covers the entire surface area, less friction. Less adjustability, but once you get it where you want it no need to change. I have mine at the perfect point where almost all of the overtravel is taken out and 100 percent reliability. Thousands of rounds and the washer hasn't moved. Idk i prefer to save my were possible. Your basically paying 25 bucks for a screw. That's an expensive screw.

unclebud Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 G17, could you provide some pics of where the washer is located that you use to get rid of some pre and over travel. I still can't picture it in my mind. I have the Vanek classic grand master in my 34 gen4, I have adjusted the pre travel as far as I can but there is still about 1/4 or so of pretravel. I am happy with the overtravel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with the overtravel. I dont know about you but my tools are somewhat limited so its easier finding a washer that is as close as possible to the height of that area you want to fit it in. Ultimately it has to be pretty small and its hard to cut it so i spent a lot of time filing. Just worry about fitting it in there first then spend the time to file it back. Just take tiny bits off at a time. It's time consuming but you'll finally put the gun back together and you'll be like Eureka that's perfect.

unclebud Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks for the link, but accordingly to the article you have to trim the trigger safety which makes this an external modification which I can't do in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thats true for pre travel, but with the over travel you do not have to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
