Summary: Good: But...April 28th, 2006
I too sought out these tips afer becoming disenchanted with the tiny screw issues. These tips are:
- very smooth
- are able to be set up in advance so you can swap in a new tip and it\\\'s ready to use.
- do require special attention to install the contact spring correctly - with glue so it doesn\\\'t shift.
- do require thread compound to not unscrew.
- a little bit heavier than a regular German tip. You will notice a difference in the balance of your weapon unless you add some weight at the grip or pommel to offset it.
However of the four tips I installed about 6 weeks ago, two have broken their plastic collar, which split acreoss the middle. They still work fine, but would be at a ref\\\'s discretion as far as passing at a tournament.
And despite using glue on the contact springs I\\\'m still having some issues with the contact setting changing.
