I tried the vortex viper but could not lock the emitter settings due to the limited space between the rear sight and the back of the viper where the locking screws are located. I sent it back to vortex and they upgraded me to a venom for free. The venom does not require locking screws to hold...

My Core had an adjustable OT stop screw but it was worthless once I put the new trigger in. My OT is barely beyond the trigger break so I'm very satisfied. No adjustment to the trigger bar loop was needed. Went through 150+ rounds with no issues and extremely tight groups. Would absolutely...

Today will be my first range test since the install. I'll give you an update tomorrow. Any suggestions on adjustments not shown in the videos would be most welcome. Thanks

Followed the videos to the letter. Took my tired and shaky hands a little longer to accomplish the task but the difference is amazing. Trigger pull is 4 lbs. and reset is 2mm. Question. Is the apex RAM kit a worthwhile addition or is it not necessary. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you pay good money for a firearm that is supposed to be a performance gun and you pay more for that privilege I would expect that it 100% accurate when it leaves the factory. Every other firearm I've ever had never needed a sight adjustment. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I shoot in an indoor range where maximum distance is 15 yards. I normally shoot free hand for the additional challenge. With my kimber aegis I would normally put together groups of 2.5 inches or better free standing at 15 yards. When the vortex viper was working my groups improved a little but...

I just like the style of the new trigger. The original hinged one takes a lot of getting used to being a 1911 shooter now. Flat trigger seem to be easier to get accustomed to.

We're you able to measure what the trigger pull was after the install?

Thanks. Like the flat trigger. Did you go with the 4# or 5# springs.

Did you do the install yourself?

As stated before if the gun comes back with no issues I'll spend more time adjusting to this new type of trigger. I've been mainly shooting my 1911 for the past year so there is quite a difference in trigger pull. Thanks for the advice.

To clarify. Not shooting low and left just left. Gun is not dipping. Plane is level. Can't explain why it shoots left. When it comes back I'll try different back straps.

Is that an agreement of my statement?

Let me clarify some points here. I have been shooting since 2011 and have put at least 50000 rounds through many different guns. Glock 17 19 Sig 228 CZ 75 S&W and Ruger revolvers Springfield Armory Range Officers. Currently with back and arthritic issues that comes with age and spinal fusion...

Excellent idea. Thanks
