What wears out on a Shadow under heavy use?
« on: January 07, 2020, 02:04:47 PM »
I am a very active competitive shooter - I'm shooting around 1500 rounds per month through my Cajunized Shadow.  Besides springs and the slide stop - are there any other parts I need to be worried about and replace occasionally with this level of use?  I keep a spare recoil spring, trigger spring, and firing pin spring and slide stop in my range bag.  I replace the recoil spring every 10K rounds - what else should I be doing?

That’s pretty much about it.

The only thing I would add is an extractor spring.  I had one get worn out and started causing the occasional failure to extract.  Turns out the extractor spring was compressed to half the length of a new one.

Thanks. I haven’t even looked at the extractor spring - that would really screw up a match if started getting failures to eject.
