I'm getting really tempted to get a railed B9R as the backup for my Colt.

After yesterday's range trip, I decided to do some tinkering on the B9R. I adjusted the sear spring to get the trigger down to 3.5lbs and took some tension off the extractor. Went back to the range and shot 170 more rounds through it. No malfunctions and ejection improved quite a bit. Still had occasional BTF, so will take some more tension off.
Accuracy was only slightly better despite the much improved trigger. I really think this may benefit from accurizing since it just can't keep up with my Commander and Govts.
BTF has nothing to do with tension. It's happening because the extractor is clocking in its channel. You'll have to fit an oversized firing pin stop it correct it. Harrisons oversize FPS was what I used on both of my pistols.Originally Posted by Wonder9
The best thing you can do for accuracy is to replace the bushing. I used EGWs gunsmith fit bushing on both of mine with good results.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
Damn, some of these deals are pretty difficult to ignore;

Wow!
You got me, I bought one. Report to follow.
You may want to check the nose of the extractor and see if it is making contact against the case.

I think @Trooper224 was on the money because the FPS was pretty loose in it's pocket. I ordered an EGW oversized FPS and fit it. Since it was my first time fitting a FPS, I took slightly too much off in the part where the extractor rides, giving the extractor just enough room to still clock slightly. That said, it did improve ejection quite a bit and the BTF settled down a lot. I ordered another FPS to replace the replacement.
I did shoot another 200 rounds through it after the EGW replacement with no malfunctions including a new shooter firing 50 of them.
How loose are we talking? I assume if I pull the FP and FP spring then slide the FPS back in, there should be no noticeable wiggle?I think @Trooper224 was on the money because the FPS was pretty loose in it's pocket.
