38superfan Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Why Folks go prefer shadows over B models. I've had my 75b SA for several years now. Shortly after getting it I deleted fpb, added cgw goodies to get a pull that was crispy, light, travel each way was very few millimeters front and back. Was amazing! I decided to reinstall the fpb bits with lighter springs over the past couple days. Man is it disappointing! It's now a 1/2 inch either way. It's still a really nice brake but dang. Is there a way to shorten pull and reset while leaving the FPB intact? Edited February 7 by 38superfan Added question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneBray Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I did. Lightened FPB spring. Installed CGW reach reduction and short rest set kit. installed lighter hammer spring. I can feel the FPB during some dry fire drills, but never notice during USPSA/SCSA matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and order their short throw lifter and a couple of extra L springs. 40% shorter reset should equally shorten the take up which will make me happy.

A few things I'm not sure you know: You can polish a few parts to help smooth it out. This pinned kneelingatlas post is a must read. I used to have this CGW SAO trigger installed on a SA conversion, which allows you to set pre and post travel with set screws. You can always call CGW to talk to David for his solid advice on his parts. Edited February 11 by Haywizzle Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went ahead and ordered and installed the short reset kit and am a happy camper and am thrilled with it. I can't edit the post unfortunately.

Haywizzle Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Awesome news! Glad to hear you are happy with it now. I've been meaning to put the FPB back in my SP-01. I believe you can only edit posts for 48 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
