    Just put the wolf reduced mainspring in the r8...underwhelming

    Yea in regards to the factory main, It was basically in all the way for roughly 11lbs pull. When it comes to the modified rebound spring, I am currently using the factory strain screw but will either a. apply loctite to it and reuse the factory, or b. test set screws I have (8-32) of varying...

    Just put the wolf reduced mainspring in the r8...underwhelming

    Well Ive dialed it back to reliably at 8lbs. I suspect this should set off most factory primers so Im going to start my testing here at the range today, before I start messing with federal reloads.

    Just put the wolf reduced mainspring in the r8...underwhelming

    Hello all, First time Ive gotten the backplate off my beloved R8. Wanted to start with just the reduced power main spring to see if things were any different. I replaced it, literally zero perceived difference. My fussy wheeler trigger gauge reports some reduction, but its all over the place on...

    want to do a trigger lightening on my 327 r8...

    How much , if any, would the apex hammer lighten the trigger without doing a reduced power main spring? just the rebound spring. did you take weights before/after?

    want to do a trigger lightening on my 327 r8...

    Oh I think as far as revolver triggers go its damn good. I have shot it this way for 9 years now. Love that gun. I just know in order to keep the pace in matches its probably best to lighten things up now.

    want to do a trigger lightening on my 327 r8...

    Thanks, there are a couple different kits that have the main spring with 3 different rebound weights. I could try the rebound only at first, then maybe experiment with main spring after once I get the hang of this. Im debating also getting an extended firing pin to have on hand just in case, and...

    want to do a trigger lightening on my 327 r8...

    All good points, but this is already a PC trigger thats 90% of the way there in smoothness and lack of snags in the trigger pull. This is more of a question of where do I turn to first to lighten the pull without overshooting the primers that I have on hand, and striking too light?

    want to do a trigger lightening on my 327 r8...

    Ah ok thats kind of what I had in mind. I figured after using this 11-12lb trigger for like 8 years, that I would notice a nice difference going to even 9lbs and still maintaining reliablity. But how do I achieve "just" 9lbs and not overshooting that? Can I still bob the hammer with the apex kit...

    want to do a trigger lightening on my 327 r8...

    So I've shot a few matches recently with my 327 r8, a steel challenge and some uspsa. It was a great time, but I can clearly see that if I want to carry on with revolver class in these matches Ill need a trigger lightening. I'm not sure what the r8 is stock, I haven't measured it yet, but I...

    Question for 550 owners, with case feeders

    Was loading 45 with a buddy on his press, equipped with case feeder. He used it just fine for hundreds of rounds of 9mm and then we switched out everything to load 45 last night. Instantly, we could see that as the ram from the case feeder would push the next case into station one, it would...

    New 340PD no lock. Perfect EDC

    Cool gun, would be a nice little brother to my r8. But if Im being super picky, was always turned off by the little atom symbol and air-lite font on the right side of the gun. but again, pickiness there.

    Mini Red Dot Sight Advice.

    As a couple others have noted, I second the allchin mount highly. Great quality, and I learned about it from this forum so gave it a shot. Very pleased. Any picatinny option will keep the sight higher than even the allchin mount. You just pick from about 3 options to suit various hole patterns...

    model 617 questions

    To answer your question about being forward heavy, yes, she definitely is. However, if you get used to it, shes a mega tac driver. Just won my latest steel challenge match with the 6" version! My best score yet. Although Im sure the 4" version would fly even quicker and sometimes wish I got the 4"

    327PC help from current owners...

    I was considering the night guard for daily concealment and had a fruitless search for a IWB holster for it. Seems the kaos one will work for the shorter barrel 327 pc.

    how much play should be in ejector star?

    Yes it is a PC gun that is already chamfered. So Im not sure if attempting to tighten it would do me any good? Seems like there is play built in to the system i guess.
