soulbyte Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hey guys, just wanted to share. I opened my fattie up to accept all my basepads. It wasn’t hard to do at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamD87 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Does anybody have a solution to reduce the take up on the trigger pull? I have not seen any aftermarket trigger bows available that are able to do thatSent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen any aftermarket trigger bows available that are able to do that To reduce the pre-travel on my RIA Pro Match Ultra 40 HC, I cut two small tabs in the front of the factory trigger bow with a Dremel+cut-off wheel and then bent the tabs to my liking. I bought a new-old-stock Para trigger in case something went wrong, but it's still sitting in its packaging as a spare. I've also heard of folks drilling small holes in the trigger bow to anchor a compound like JB Weld in order to build up the front of the trigger bow and then filing the material down. The cut & bend approach worked for me, so I haven't tried this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just t ry cutting tabs like you suggested. Thanks for the info. [emoji2] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just t ry cutting tabs like you suggested. Thanks for the info. I hadn't considered doing anything to the rear, so thanks for that perspective! My hands are small and the rear of the trigger bow was rubbing against my magazines at times, preventing them from dropping as free as I'd like. Moving the trigger bow backwards helps to address both of these issues for me, so I naturally arrived at cutting the tabs and hadn't considered anything else.

Talon75 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So did the TF magwell need fitting for the TF basepads to fit? I'm still running the stock magwell, I haven't decided what I want yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does any 2011 front/s would work? also, are there different grips that I could switch to? what bigger safety could I use? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulbyte Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Dawson has the sights you are looking for. My preference was for a .165 sight on my RIA’s. I purchased the .180 and had to adjust the rear sight too high. The Sights RIA uses is the LPA Sights (brand) not to be confused with the LPA style cut. A quick google search will bring you to their website. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one that is .180 but not sure if I will have to adjust the rear too high. I see a lot of sights listed on DP but not sure which one will work. A friend gave me one? it is the 020-180-00 , not sure if it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend gave me one? it is the 020-180-00 , not sure if it will work. 020-276 .160 tall x.100 wide partridge is what I got. I also got the .90 width and noticed that my eyes could acquire the target faster. For me the .180 tall sits way too high. With the .160 my rear sight is four-six clicks over full bottom out. .180 took 10-12 clicks from bottom. It’s all personal preferences though. Good thing about Dawson, you can return the sight if you want it taller or shorter. Bellow is the .180. The sight sits high. The .160 sits flush, I would take a picture but the gun is out at the smith. Hope this helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimberacp Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 the .180 sight is 10-12 clicks out because it is not flush with the top of the slide. if it were... it probably wouldn't not be that many clicks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
