My P-01 + Mepros = Awesome
« on: September 23, 2014, 11:27:00 AM »
Well I just got my slide back from CGW and love my mepros. I've used meprolight sights on other guns so I knew what to expect. I really did not like the stock sights on the P-01. They were tiny but also crowded, the mepros are beefier, have much more pronounced dots, tritium, and also somehow appear to have more light around the front post (not sure how, but they do).

I think my P-01 is in it's final configuration. I plan on running it just like this for the next thousand or so rounds then getting it cerakoted if I feel it's where I want it to be. I've had chips in the polycoat, mostly on the frame, so I'm not too fond of it. I don't really feel it's all that durable, plus cerakote looks better IMO.

So far I have:

-Polished the internals via David's thread
-Swapped my mag release since I'm a lefty
-Gotten Mepros installed by CGW, a FPRP upgrade from CGW, and David sent me a ground off P-01 mainspring plug (hated the lanyard)
-Installed CGW floating trigger pin, RPTRS, and a 15#mainspring
-Stippled factory plastic compact grips

Here's some pics of the beast, which has officially taken over nightstand duty:





I love this gun. It's easy and intuitive to shoot. I look forward to shooting it a lot in the upcoming months. Just wanted to share.

Genin, do these not have a retainer screw that needs to be removed if necessary to drift for windage?

No screw on these brother. The model number was 17775 I think. I'm too lazy to walk downstairs and check right now hahaha. I'm laying on the couch and feel like we really bonded

I went to the range with the PCR yesterday and I am considering those sights for it.

FMJ,
DO IT NOW! Seriously these sights are much better. Something to consider, the PCR will have a milled area exposed on the flat part of the slide in front of the rear sight if you get these installed. It's a just an aesthetic thing, doesn't affect the sights or your pistol.

I've had it since January and will probably do it in October. I don't mind the space in front of the sight, a gun is a tool and things happen.
