Sweet. Now can the Omega 75B's convert to a BD by switching to a decocker lever or is that just a P07-09 thing?

I think that's just a feature of the P-series.  The Omega doesn't have ambidexterous controls so there isn't a hole in the frame like on a polymer gun.  There's no place to hook up the extra spring and such since it's normally held by the safety/decocker bar that runs across the slide.  At least that's my guess.  I just converted my P-07.

Alrighty.

I just received my Bedair Steel Guide rod in the mail (it just looks right, the plastic rod is going in storage.) ... perfect timing... the range club I joined opens in about an hour and 15 mins...

All I need now is a set of thin aluminum grips... and my Omega will truly be, all metal.

I went to the range last night.  Fantastic gun.  I will be updating the original post with a range report this afternoon.

Side note:  I got a bleep failure to feed!  I blame the bleepty factory 10 round mags.

Can't you get a PO Box in Pennsylvania and have some 16 round magazines shipped there?

I'm not sure where you get the magazines is an issue.  You just can't have anything over ten rounds in NY.  Period.

...

What I am saying is: the Ten round mags caused the failure to feed.  They seem cheap... and they rattle when they are fully loaded... loudly.  I just have a feeling they are the reason I had a failure to feed. Could be wrong.

Could be that the mag is too oiled from being new.  I assume you mean the gun cycled but didn't strip a round off the top of the magazine.  I had a problem with that the other week with my BD and an older 15-round magazine.

I went back to the range... no issues at all... just more compliments from other shooters.  I bought a few boxes of range ammo, Mexican Stuff... it was dirty!  Once the gun was open for cleaning, I noticed particles everywhere.  They looked like very tiny brass shavings or perhaps from the bullet's jacketing?  I don't know for sure... but it made cleaning a real chore.

Since I can't order ammo online, buying 9mm at price gouged rates is my only option... the sum of which is filthy ammo... Shooting as a hobby in NYC is quite the challenge, indeed.

Good to hear no issues, other than you are stuck in a screwed up State. Hope you can find a way around the ammo issue. I would save until I had enough to buy a couple of thousand, then go on a trip. Talk to fellow shooters. Someones got to have a contact somewhere. Enjoy your Omega ;D

CGW Ultra lite due on Monday... help!
« Reply #27 on: May 02, 2014, 08:36:23 AM »
I just ordered the Cajun Gun Works Ultra Lite Kit...  Which include an extended, high quality firing pin plus a spring for it.  Two different reduced strength hammer springs.  A reduced strength, firing pin-block spring is included as well.  What to check it out? http://www.cajungunworks.com/ultra-lite.html .

I am planning on installing this kit on my own.  Any pointers?  Can anyone tell me what specialty tools I need?  I am good with my hands but I have never done work on a firearm.

Just make sure you have some punches. Keep track of your smaller springs. Other guys on here are better at explaining than I am, but check out some JoeL videos. Even though its the P09, with the Omega 75, everything works about the same. The magazine break is a little tricky. After removing the bottom pin on your grip to release the hammer spring, keep pressure on that spring, using your fingers, pull the mag brake from the center inwards into the open grip (you already removed the grip panels to remove the pin). The mag brake ( its just a metal shim that sits between the hammer spring and the mag well) will pop out of the bottom, and you can slide it out of the way. Reassembly is the reverse. Just make sure you have pressure on your hammer spring and that you guide the bottom of the mag brake into the slot with 1 hand while with the other hand you keep the bend on the mag brake. It is really much easier than I explained here. I apologize if I confused you, and if you have more questions, just ask. If not me, somebody will answer. Good luck, and have fun.

I have my kit... next up:  A 2mm and 3mm pilot punch coming in tomorrow... then the fun begins.  Will I be able to... tell the difference?  I bought this kit mostly for the increased reliability... but a lighter and smoother double a tion trigger pull sounds nice, too.
