johnbu Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 For parts..... the full set of Patriot Defense optimized springs and 14 or 15.5 hammer spring and full polish will CHEAPLY wake up the gun. Reports are the single action unica hammer is superior to the Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinimon Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hmmm, might have to look into those Unica hammers. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be sure to get the SAO version of the unica hammer for the limited. The "trade off" is better SA hooks, but no possible way to add the Bolo disconnector. And this was an update i saw, not personally verified. unica is still a unicorn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinimon Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 That Unica two tone trigger is pretty wild looking. Here's my Ltd Custom when I first got her... And here she is nekkid an hour later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinimon Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 What recoil spring weight are you guys using for your 40SW major PF? Are you using buffers as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using the 12 point something lbs one (middle spring which came with the gun) this with heavy bullets 220gn and fast powder... Works super.

We might go to slower VV340 powder with these bullets... Pressure is too high. Current GECO brass is weak, if reloaded (once) most of them explode and you need real effort to get the brass out of the barrel...

Fasthenk65 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Tanfo quite tolerant btw.... not so tight as Sv/STI's so easier on reloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinimon Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Good to know. I made up some test loads of TiteGroup and CFE Pistol with 180gr pills. I'l chrony them next time I make it to the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think earlier ones came with the smaller silver bases. Got some parts yesterday. I ordered an Xtreme sear and an Xtreme Pro semi-flat trigger. The sear had a dimple left over from the casting. I knocked that dimple down and also the edges of the sear edges so that they are sharp with some stoning. The trigger breaks nice like an icicle, just like my S2. I was going to go with a silver on black look, hence the silver ambi safety but the pro trigger only comes in black. I'll add a slide lock lever in silver as backup. All slicked up and ready to rock with an extended mag release. I'm just waiting for my papers so I can take it to the range. Ughhh!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In NL (Europe) you buy a gun (if you have a license), you cannot take the gun but get an option paper... then you need one form from shooting range that you can use this gun in an Olympic discipline... (pfff) then you make appointment with police (takes 2 weeks) then they make a new form + put the gun number on your license... you have to wait 2 more weeks then you can get yr new permit (with number gun on it) and the form so that you actually can buy the gun.... You buy it, then you have 2 weeks to show the gun to the police.... (if all is ok on the papers / permit)... IF you need the gun on yr European pass (for shooting in Europe) you can make a new appointment for this, and then wait another minimum of 2 weeks (they are busy) to have it written by on yr European permit....... Bureaucracy, Europe is good in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get it? Also, is there an easy way to downsize my pics so they meet the max file size? Mine are like 2.5mb.

I believe it's made by Unica. I think Patriot Defense carries it as well. My pics are hosted on Flickr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
