Nice!! I'm hoping they make their way to NZ too. I've put that exact steel grip on my SPS Vista and it made huge difference. Is the barrel one piece, or is it a thread on comp?

[yigal]

how is slide to barrel and frame fit? tight or not?

[grujo]

Fitting is very good.maybe becouse i payed more to get Tin coated barrel.

Barrel is threaded,but comp. is fixed.i didnot have time to remove one to see what thread is.but i get one extra 9mm barrel with comp and that one will be for experimenting.

We need some reviews on this one!
It's on my list, Bul dropped out of it since we can't buy them where we want and are forced through our Area Vendor in the EU and his pricing is utterly through the roof, not to mention he's  not a trustworthy person with a bad rep.

9 or 38?

for all guys who want to buy SPS...DO NOT

let me start

one,mounted optics and shooted maybe 20 rounds,to adjust the red dot. 5 extraction jams.

I put it in the box.

second gun.every second round ejection jam.i tuned ejector and i got to eject cases normal.magazine have nose dive bullets.all of 6 magazines WON'T FEED CORRECTLY.

I got 4 Atlas Gunworks and 2 MBX magazines,with them no feeding issue.

After 50-60 rounds,the magazine fell out!?!?!?

I tried all the mags,but the same thing,one shot,it fell out.

I dismantled the gun,and saw,magazine catch,the teeth which hold the mag in the gun are truncated!?!?!?!

60 rounds...

I took it to the gunsmith,he made it work.

last sunday,first training with that one gun,after maybe 200 rounds,again ejection problems.

I dismantled the gun and saw that the extractor was truncated.

i contacted SPS,becouse i payed 2 guns arround 8000eur without reddot and mount.they told me that they will check with gunsmith who fitted guns.no answer for 5 days.one hour ago i totaly dissmantled that WORKING gun and i was,not surprised,but mad,sad,i dont have word for this.frame was broken and welded,painted and sold to me...

i am sure they know that and they was thinking that i am not from EU and is hard to return guns.yes,i am from Serbia and it is maybe impossible to return guns.

grujo,

That is terrible. I would not think that that kind of quality, or lack of it, was acceptable. To be a damaged, repaired pistol sold as new is simply not acceptable.

[zdali]

Hate to say it, but my SPS (Vista Long) experience is very similar, minus the cracked frame.

 

I've basically replaced all the small parts (extractor, sear, hammer, disconnector, springs, safety, and mag catch) to get it to run reliably.

 

I could never tune the mags enough to feed FP bullets reliably, but RNs feed fine now. Went to Atlas mags instead now.

 

I would still consider a new BCN, but at this stage I'd treat it as a long block + grip build.

email from SPS:

Dear Nenad,

You should know that our major concern is to find out what happened with the Frame. Factory is searching and studying all the reports about the manufacturing of this pistol but they don’t see any error in the manufacturing process so far. We are also waiting for a report from the Spanish Proof House, responsible for the pistol test, basically to assure that there isn’t any breakage, and passing high tension tests, verified by the technicians of this official Spanish Organism, that depends directly from the Nacional Army.

The easiest way for us is to have the broken pistol to carry out the appropriate investigation, but we understand that it is slow and difficult to get it.

Regarding to the mal-function of the guns, I say you the same I wrote to Slavoljub as follows:

 

“We assume that when you get the pistols, you didn’t change any spare until you saw that they were not working properly, right? However, to change any spare you should advise us before doing so.

There’s no reason to disassembly the grip, but in the case that you did so, the assembly of this grip is very delicated because it goes very tight and it should be done very carefully.

 

The spares that may cause any malfunction are; Ejector, Extractor, Recoil Spring and these are the ones we want to send but they were already tested and fitted in another pistol to assure they’ll work properly. (We are getting ready the parts right now). Please replace them when you get them and kindly advise when so.

 

Please be aware that in the well functioning of the gun there are several points, among others:

The correct load; the correct bullet’s diameter & weight.

 

We want you to know that the pistols were fired and checked before shipping and they were perfectly working.”

 

Once we have all reports, we’ll get in touch to you
