Superpipe9 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 What springs are you guys using and what have you done to the gun? I'm thinking 12# recoil spring, stock hammer spring, extended left side safety and blend the frame to the magwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronicTwitch Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Stock springs, stock everything, just shoot the crap out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a good tinkerer, i did' t let the pistol as the factory made it. 1. changed the barrel with my SP01 9mm. 2. took of the barrel bushing and replased it with a cone style on the barrel 3. recut the handle (beavertail and triggerguard) 4. changed the guide rod with a same OD stanless steel piece (two pieces) 5. change the position of the LS (higher position of left hand) 6. blend the frame to the magwell 7. polish , smooth and blend the magazine release 8. stock hammer spring, 9# recoil spring(variable) Tomorrow i take some photos Manolis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi_Im_Vinh Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Be sure to add blue loctite to your grip screws and rear sight screws as those will work themselves out after a range trip or two. I personally run a 12# recoil spring to go with my 200gr Acme/ 4.0gr W-231 major load , left the HS stock , blended magwell , and added a bigger safety and thumbrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpipe9 Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 So have any of you guys changed the front sight on your TSO. If so what seems to be a good size? Height and width wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubing10 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Just wondering if TSO is legal for carry optics division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpipe9 Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 These safeties suck on this gun. The only thing stopping this gun from being perfect in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra86 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm using 11# recoil spring and 13# hammer spring in my TSO 9mm at 127pf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left side safety (I'm a righty) is too short (big hands/long fingers) and with a high grip the trigger finger knuckle engages the right side safety. I wish there was a single-side safety available. I'll likely end up with an extended left safety and shave the shelf off the right side safety tab. FWIW, I had this issue with my 2011s but the solution was much easier: GI single-side safety. Ambi safeties are for the birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigPig Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm looking at 140mm basepads for my 9mm TSO, specifically Springer. I don't see a capacity listed, nor can I find one in the places I've looked. With their extra power spring and factory follower, is the setup +3 (23+1) and with the Grams kit +4 (24+1)? Is one setup any more/less reliable than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks if you need to do that on several stages at a match and the set screw will eventually strip out. I got CZC ones and they are great. Mine is for .40 though.

CZCs have been out of stock all week, SP are in-stock. I also have 6 mags I'll be putting base pads on, so the cleaning frequency won't be as big of issue. I also don't clean my mags between stages. Dirty mags haven't been an issue for me, so I generally don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at CZCs initially, I like the retaining clip on them better than the set screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
