Archangelgt Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 13 hours ago, Tango said: wolff spring, 13lb 5k rounds It could be a worn out recoil spring, I personally swap mine in my striker fire guns around 5-6k. But a couple of things first if you're sure you aren't causing the malfunction. - Did the ammo that's causing the problem run w/o issue before? - After user, ammo is probably the next most common malfunction inducer. - Is it a specific magazine that's only having issues - if so could be a worn mag spring or bad magazine.

Benavitz Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Made my own "thumb rest" using the stock take down pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Nice. Did you 3D print the whole takedown lever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benavitz Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Cut some 1/16" metal flat stock to size and welded it to the stock lever with some flat black paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as conservative as the go guns thumb rest, but seems just as legal. I found this useful: https://nroi.org/miscellaneous/questions-answers-and-rulings/ "A takedown lever that is designed to provide a thumb rest surface is legal under the existing rules and isn’t much different from stippling on the frame in the same general area, which is also legal."

AmarokTactical Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I just dont understand why anyone think this easily controllable 9mm pistol needs a thumbrest. You guys ought to spend a bit more time working on your grip technique than these atrocious looking parts. Either way I highly doubt this is Production legal in terms of fitting in the box.

I'm with Amarok, if you need this to control the recoil of your x5 you really need to be working on your grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishMoose Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 That's an open bump. Not worth it, and certainly not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I understand why people use thumb rests, but at the same time, this doesn't really make any sense for a competition gun at all. I guess if you really just want to shoot open minor, then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thumb should extend past the takedown lever. Keeping your thumb farther back causes you to break your wrist instead of having it extended and locked out and actually causes more problems with grip. See attached photo for where my thumb rests when my wrist is properly extended and locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagellord Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 A CO gun will have more felt recoil, but properly tuned and with a good grip the dot movement is going to be effectively the same. An open gun is sharper and more violent, but less felt recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 And so it goes.... We are discussing the massive recoil of a 130ish PF 9mm round out of a typically full sized grip/frame and some using the heavy Legion frame? Really? Let’s get back to our equipment. ON a side note, I do not think these gas pedals should be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a piece that is glued to the side of the gun. Where do you draw the line?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
