Would like to shoot the redback first......... You will Love it. The work of the Slide, the Reset, the fit and finish is just different than the rest of all the other Production Guns. The recoil Impuls feels soft in the hand and the return to zero is just great. When you have set up the springs to your ammo.... you don‘t want to shoot another production gun.

I have already bought one Redback, and am getting a second. The moment I disassembled one, and the slide glided off like butter, I knew these were the finest quality guns (even better than the original Sphinxes 2000/3000s!) I also have a CZ Shadow 1, so have access to CZ parts. I might get the -10% CZ trigger spring - is it easy to install? Or perhaps I can ask Lee if they can reduce the trigger weight for me.

MisterM Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 KommBat: do you know what is a weight redback main spring and where can I buy similar one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstone45 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 @KommBat I'm also interested to know about the recoil spring, what the factory weight is, and if you changed your's? And whether the springs are interchangeable with CZ springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterM Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 For sure interchangeable springs: trigger spring and recoil spring. But for sure not: main spring, firing pin spring and extractor spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice Drummen has al the models in stock at the moment! By chance have you shot an Atlas Titan or other Atlas 2011? If so how would you compare and which would you prefer? They are about in the same price range. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dspring Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I shoot a Sphinx SDP regularly and love it, and would be very interested in the standard version of the Redback. Is it available in the USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakerjd Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I dislike all of you. I just got my tanfo dome up by patriot defense and read this entire thread. Now I really want a redback. Good thing winter time means LOTS of OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericlee Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Looks like the Drake has a Brilley 1911 style bushing with the asymmetrical lock ring inside. Those things provided crazy accuracy in the S&W performance center .356 TS&W pistols made in the early 90’s great idea, time someone revived it. Made disassembly and reassembly a bit tricky. Maybe having it in a removable unhinged solves that problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YVK Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I was browsing those Phoenix guns and found this in regards to Drake on one Canadian site that selling them This pistol does not fit in an IPSC measurement box.

Would not have been possible without fitting in THE BOX. Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
