    Ever time I see Talon Grips mentioned, I feel I need to let people know Traction Grips are identical at about half the cost. However Traction Grips does not include the little alcohol wipe to clean the grip prior to installation. I bought Talon once…Traction is the SAME!

      @@RidersRange If you glue it at all, you won't be able to use it for the M&P 9c, if you have one, which is why they even have 12-rd mags. That's the standard capacity on those. They sent spacers with the 15-rd M&P 9 2.0 as well, so that we can use our 17-rd mags from our M&P 9 full-size. They didn't send any 17 rd mags with the 2.0, but just two of the 15-rds & two spacers. This is basically a 10-rd capacity pistol, but they sent along the 12 in case you don't care about the extra length printing or pocket-fit. They'd have to create a new manufacturing or molding process to give everyone a new style of 12-rd.
      Edit; Left the post original, but I think they may have created a different 12-rd magazine for this than the 9c...I apologize if I spoke incorrectly. I looked very closely at it here, and it sure looks identical to my 9C 12s, but according to a post on their forum, folks claiming they are not the same. If that's the case, my bad. And also if that's the case, probably won't be buying this. I sure like being able to have mags loaded and be able to have the choice. Bummer.

    • @RidersRange

      @Shasta Bean, I appreciate the detailed comment and edit. From everything I can gather, the mags for the CSX are exclusive to that model, though I don't have all the Smith mags to experiment with. I keep waiting for Smith, or an after-market company, to come out with a 13 or 14 round mag with a finger hook, but I'm not holding my breath. Those things are market-driven and the market for hammer-fired pistols with a manual safety isn't anywhere near as big as for the polymer striker-fired guns.

      @@RidersRange I was giving this CSX a bit of thought, to perhaps replace what I use my .380 Bodyguard for...I probably would mostly opt with the 10-rd mag, just for the smaller size. I have 12, 15, & 17 rd other 9m Smiths, so it's not much use for me in that respect for more capacity. But I would want to be able to use those several 12-rd mags I have for my 9c. I very much like being able to do that with my 15 & 17 rd mags in my 2.0. I am probably going to call the local store and see if they have a CSX and take a 9c mag and check it for myself. Definitely can't take claims in comments or forums as gospel. haha (me = guilty). Thanks for the vid. I'm still slightly curious about the hammer-fired, but lots of folks say the same thing about the safety.

    Trivia. Most right handed shooters naturally twist their right hand ever so slightly down and to the left because of (medial concentric pull). This is the contraction of flexor digitorum profundus...which goes to your trigger finger is a muscle which has a twist from it's origin near the elbow to it's insertion on trigger. A left handed shooter would notice shot placement landing slightly down and to the right of the aim point for the same reason. With Practice, most shooters unconsciously learn to correct for this bio-mechanical effect, even if they aren't aware of it. The newer the shooter the more pronounced you will see this effect.

      His is not the only video I have seen the shooter hitting to the left. It seems unlikely that S&W does not have the resources or quality control measures to properly zero their pistols before shipping them out. These right handed shooters were very experienced in shooting pistols even rather small ones. It may be that due to the dimensions of the grip and the design of the trigger, the trigger finger must curl more to fire the pistol than is the norm on other pistols enhancing the medial concentric pull.

    • @RoadieWingZZ
      @RoadieWingZZ Год назад

      Actually it has more to do with the gun dimensions. In an ideal gun-to-hand fitment, the trigger contacts mid-pad on the finger tip. Varying sizes of grips and lateral dimensions for trigger resting and activation can/will create the misalignment which must then be corrected by changing the pad placement on the trigger such that the moment of trigger activation occurs exactly when the lateral pull is in a direct line with the alignment with the barrel bore.

      @RidersRange  2 года назад +2

      Not a dumb question at all. In order to glue the mag filler sleeve to the baseplate, the back "filler" piece must be removed, otherwise the baseplate could never be removed from the mag. If you think you would never have to remove the baseplate for maintenance or to replace the spring, then it would be okay to keep the sleeve fully intact and glued to the baseplate. Thanks for watching.

      Really good question! I’ve got the CSX and it’s my everyday carry. The spacer is very annoying. For example, this has happened to me several times at the range. I’ll drop the mag and the spacer sticks to the gun. Then it will fall off and land in the firing range. I then have to embarrassingly ask the watcher to grab it for me with his rake tool. It’s very obnoxious. Will be super glueing mine soon.

    I don't get why everyone is up in arms over the mag sleeve. You don't need to cut anything, just put a small dab of shoe goo (available at WM among other places) on each side of the sleeve. I used a toothpick to do this so as not to glop too much on, but you can easily wipe it off. Shoe Goo is basically rubber cement, and it will keep things in place but will still be removeable should it need to be. I consider it the duct tape of the adhesive world.

      I think for the mags he carries for protection the super glue method is best. The spacer can interfere with reloading and super glue will ensure that the spacer never comes loose. For range mags silicone is probably a good idea. It won't mess up their resale value. Also a possibly forthcoming and clever aftermarket solution might require an unmodified baseplate.

    What problem does the spacer truly cause? I hear everyone complain about it but I never hear WHY they are complaining?
    Also, SW designs guns and builds them , so it’s not like they are idiots, so WHY do they have the spacer, what is the purpose and has anyone ever got the response from SW instead of guessing?

      I'm not a fan of Kydex holsters, but they are effective and affordable. I much prefer leather, though for many guns, good leather holsters may be more difficult to find. Garrett Industries makes holsters with Kydex shells and leather laminated to the inside. They retain their shape without the "click/clack" of Kydex.

      @Pmedic605, the original base plate fills in the bottom of the grip for a better visual effect, and in the tight market of micro pistols, image counts. But I do believe Smith missed the mark just a little.

    Actually looking at your range work here I'd think you would be effictive at fifty yards on a torso sized target. So you shouldn't feel so out gunned at that range. ;

    • @dylanholbrook6239
      @dylanholbrook6239 Год назад

      The only reason I can think of is because there is no grip safety and it is very 1911ish. Too small for a grip safety so they used a trigger safety for the secondary passive safety. But I agree it is silly
