[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Wilson Combat? (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 2/19/2016 8:10:13 PM EDT
| So, I was sitting here watching a Sootch00 video and his 92FS that he put some WC parts on. Now I want to do the same to my FS. I noticed one of the parts that I'd like to get is out of stock. This may seem like a dumb question but does anyone know on average how long it takes for them to get parts back in stock? |

What part are you trying to get? Ordering from wilson Combat direct takes FOREVER! Items I'm looking at ordering are: Guide Rod Short reach trigger 16# hammer spring Low profile safety/decocker Mag release (not sure which one yet) Reduced power trigger conversion spring (this is the part that's backordered) Red is the one that I'm wondering about. Is their shipping that bad? Is there another place I can order them from? |
| The fluting will make the guide rod lighter (not much on such a small part) and it is supposed to help the guide rod not trap dirt and other crap. I also ordered the Skeletonize hammer and allen wrench grip screws from Beretta. I just want no plastic parts on this gun. |
| I got my Beretta Skeletonize Elite II hammer today and installed it. So far everything I received is installed and function checks fine. I put the 16# wilson spring in the hammer. Hope you get your parts soon Tallest. They are really easy to install. I am just waiting for the Safety/decocker to come from Wilson when the backorder comes in. |

Call them, I usually make my orders from them over the phone because I get a Military Discount. They have really helpful Customer service. I know why it hasn't shipped yet. It's because one of the parts are backordered so they are holding the whole order until the backordered part comes in. I'm not in a rush so I'll just wait for it all to ship. |
Got my Safety yesterday, installed it this morning. Wow, went and shot the gun this morning with all the new parts and it is Great. The difference s night and day. Everything functions well and the gun is so smooth. Tallest you will not be disappointed when you get your stuff.

| Ended up emailing Wilson and asking when the out of stock parts were expected in stock and when it would ship. They had no information as to when the trigger spring was going to come in so they shipped everything else. Should have most of it in a few days minus the trigger spring. |

I tried that Wolf trigger spring years ago - I took it off almost immediately.
I had a D spring installed already. The regular strength Wollf spring increased the trigger weight to pre-D spring installation, WHILE the D spring was still in it. It put more tension than the factory spring onto the trigger. There is a reduced power version - but many people find that it returns the trigger into place rather weakly, or it is stagey. There also seems to be some variation in results for some people. I am not sure if that is due to frame tolerances, or differences in some specimens of the Wollf springs. I gave up on those and sold the one I have. I just use the factory spring. The factory spring is made of thicker coils than itw as way back in the 1980s. But, I stll just change it out every 5k, which is the recommended change out interval. Granted, I think that was based off the original springs in the 1980s. So, the current ones will likely go much longer. Many people never change theirs out. But, it's not a big deal to periodically change. if you do it every 5k, it will never break on ya |

Just stock up on some extras and change them out. Its not like its an hk where it takes you anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour to change it out. |

In case anyone is interested Brownell's actually has the Wolf Reduced Power Trigger Spring in stock. I ordered one from Wilson even though its showing out of stock. I also ordered one from Brownell's on a whim because it said, "In Stock".
On a related note I should have most of my parts on Wednesday. The mag release will be here on Thursday and the trigger spring from Brownell's will be here next week. |

Before I had to sell my M9A1, I had a bunch of Wilson stuff on it. For me, my next Beretta will get... Wilson Rear sight Wilson slim Safety Beretta Oversized mag release Wilson magwell VZ grips "D" spring That alone made the pistol so much better So far I have either ordered or have: Beretta Adjustable Rear Sight (Installed) Wilson Low ProfileSafety (Ordered) WIlson Over Size Mag Release (Ordered) Wilson Magwell (Still Backordered) VZ Grips (Ordered) Wilson 16# "D" Spring (Have; Not Installed) Wilson Reduced Weight Trigger Spring (Ordered) Wilson Guide Rod (Installed) Wilson Short Reach Trigger (Have; Not Installed) I'm waiting on installing everything until I have all the parts. I'm also thinking of changing out the factory recoil spring but I'm on the fence with it. |

The Wilson Mag release may not work with the VZ grips, I have seen some posts indicating having to relieve the grips a little. The Beretta one worked perfect. I didn't care for the SRT but I have fairly large hands. Quoted:

I got bored after work and decided to tinker about with it. I was curious to see how difficult it was to take apart since I've never taken it apart. I must've watched Mosin Virus's video about 100 times. It was surprisingly easier than I thought. I ended up installing what parts I had. Before:  </a>" />

My oversize mag release and reduced trigger spring came in today. A little fitting on the trigger spring and it works great. First time I put it in it was tight and kept popping up every time I pulled the trigger. Putting that dammed mag release in was a pain. It took me a few minutes to get it in because I couldn't get it to go in, it kept flipping out. What a pain.
My safety should be here early next week and my grips should be here next week. |

Mag release was difficult the first time, you just have to line everything up right. The safety was a pain in the ass the first time, I kept having the little springs fly out. There is a youtube video where someone placed the slide in the bag to help keep control of the springs. Worked great. |
