Beretta Lover Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 anyone here have any experience with parts breakage on an SP01 shadow? I hear FP block, slide stops especially do break eventually If you have one f these and have alot of rounds through one, can you clue me in? I am considering picking up a shadow and a .22 kit, but I have very reliable bustage reports from an M and a GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) I used my SP-01 for one season of shooting and experienced 2 trigger return springs breaking and one slide stop in 10,000 rounds and a butt load of dryfire. Later, Chuck PS: I am only a B shooter but I think I can break guns with the best of them ETA: Stats: 1017 Rounds: Trigger Return Spring broke during dryfire 4678 Rounds: The gun gave me a demo on why it is good to remove the extractor and clean the pocket 5314 Rounds: Trigger Return Spring #2 broke during dryfire, the night before Area 5 7154 Rounds: Slide stop broke 8155 Rounds: Replaced TRS prior to Area 2. 9245 Rounds: Last shot fired. Conclusions: People have reported some good luck and some not so good luck with TRS. As for the slide stop, get a spare, make sure it works and use it only for major matches.

NOSAJ19 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) My Shadow has over 50,000 rounds through it. 1 trigger spring replaced @ 30,000 rounds. Gun still running strong. Everything breaks eventually. You don't drive a car & not service it regularly, still expecting it to be trouble free. Cheers, Ando.

GeneBray Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have a 75 SP01 Mx history: 14,812 slide stop broke. 18,036 trigger spring broke 22,720 slide stop broke 27,175 extractor broke 28,709 rnd count as of today. Perfectly happy with reliability of the pistol!! These are components that will break eventually (unless replaced at regular intervals as preventative mx). Like Ando says, you have to maintain the pistol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
