USP Compact Upgrades: G&G Threaded Barrel with Shooters Design Slide?

[alpha54]

Hey, just wanted to let ya know - I just got the RCC 130% hammer spring for Beretta M92F and the spring is completely different to a USPc hammer spring, so they are actually incompatible... the spring is much wider in diameter and much longer as well!

I guess that means I'll just try stretching my original spring, I'll let ya know how it goes!

EDIT: How exactly did you stretch your spring? I'm trying to do it to my right now and no matter how hard I stretch (hurts my fingers like hell after a couple of seconds), the spring isn't getting any longer...

I just managed to stretch my spring (by 5mm, way too much). Now I've compressed it back and I'm guessing its about 1-1.5mm longer than before, but the power of my gun seems INSANE. When I fire a shot, the noise seems to be about double as loud as it was before, and while I can usually see the BBs in flight, I can hardly spot them now (its also getting dark outside though and I usually play during the day, so that might just be my eyes playing tricks on me).

I'm not sure whether to leave it like this because I am convinced that the spring is only marginally longer than before, but my gun seems much more powerful - I don't want to ruin anything.

However, as I'm getting my AEG next week, this pistol will now function as "only" a sidearm, with maybe a maximum of 50 shots put through it per week. Should I leave the hammer spring as it currently is??

I'm NOT at all impressed with the G&G Glock 19 slide and threaded outer barrel. Both I installed had serious problems. Was only able to get the threaded barrel to work properly with the stock slide on.

Hopefully the USP slide by G&G is better.

Well, I'm getting a Shooters Design slide, which is supposed to be extremely high quality and well-fitting. Problem is, I'm going to try to marry that with a G&G threaded outer barrel (already bought a silencer, so no going back now), so we'll see how it does I guess! :P

my god, the SD stuff is freaking amazing, i own the black and silver sets (to mix em up) and quality is TOP NOTCH. and yeah, i meant the springs are the same for RECOIL springs lol, not hammer. i told you stretching it a bit would make a huge difference, it's like a 10-15fps increase. not only that, but it's a lot crisper when shooting.

if you get the SD kit, make sure you get the threaded barrel set just in case the G&G barrel doesn't mate with it well. that way, you'll still have your silencer capability.

and kos is right, I'm a dude. i'm preeeeeetty sure i told hattrick that on msn, but he's very stubborn lol.

SD doesn't offer a threaded barrel set for the USPc mate - just the USP...
