New and just got my SP-01
« on: November 15, 2009, 08:29:10 PM »
Hi everyone.  I'm new here.  Just got my SP-01 on Friday, and immediately put in the 11lb recoil spring.  Waiting on a friend to help me with the 15lb hammer spring. 
Looking forward to shooting it for the first time next Sunday!

Hi Brie,

Great choice in the SP-01, I'm sure you will love the way it handles and the softness of the recoil. My 19 year old daughter's #1 all time favorite pistol is my SP-01 Shadow. Be sure to post a range report and photos if you can.

Our friend who got us into shooting has the same gun, and put the same springs in there...i got to shoot a couple rounds out of his last week.
I'm looking forward to firing my own though.  Just because it's mine.  Will have a report for you guys Sunday afternoon!

That is so good to hear. Every girl/woman I have ever introduced to the sport of shooting has really enjoyed it. My Shadow also has the lighter springs that you installed in your SP-01. Remember that the trigger and all-over functionality of all of the SP-01's improves the more you shoot it. I had some FTF issues at first, nothing I was worried about and only with the Remington UMC (green box) and Hydroshock ammo. Winchester white box, S&B, Magtech and American Eagle all worked perfectly. The Federal LE Tactical HST +P Hollow Point ammo in both 124 and 147 grain has run perfectly and I can recommend it as a good self defense round although there are plenty of others that work very well. My Shadow really smoothed out after 1000 rounds and is now running 100%.

I'm looking forward to reading your range report next week.

Another "Good Luck!" from this quarter...

I have/had an SP-01 Tactical that my daughter has commandeered since we started shooting some action pistol events. I installed a 13# hammer spring and a 12# recoil spring and she does well with it.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
