I believe that a few members here have reported that the Sumo handle works fine in their 9mm S2K. I almost ordered one for mine today, but gave up after about the 15th time the "Happy Harrytober" popup advertising their sale on magazines interrupted me and made me click the X to close. I guess I got annoyed enough by it that it turned me off to the purchase. I do not want any magazines no matter how much they are pushing them!!!!!
enough on the rant..
I received a fair amount of suggestions and such in my post regarding making my sub wife friendly. I have taken them into serious consideration and thank you for the replies. I believe my biggest challenge is going to be to get my wife to hold the gun in a proper manner. I handed it to her last night to see what she thought about optic height on it and it was as if the optic had a spider on it and she wanted to pull her head way back and push the S2K way forward....OK, we have work to do....
Back to topic at hand. I have noticed much benefit from the piece of washing machine hose that I have slid over the charging handle giving it a softer and larger diameter to pull. It aids me enough that I am tempted to leave well enough alone and leave it as is....but I hear many positive reviews on the Sumo, primarily in 40 and a few not so positive when used with brass bolt.
I think I would prefer to pay less and choose the Sumo over the heavy bolt as I have heard of factory and extended charging bolts breaking anyway. I would appreciate some input concerning the observations those of you that use it have noticed.
1) Does it still cycle wide range of load charges and bullet weights properly or heavily favor stout loads?
2) Does it change the trajectory of the ejected brass
3) Do you notice less "blowback" - I read somewhere where someone believes it helps as bolt stays shut the extra millisecond - hadn't thought of that before
4) any affect on jamming - I shot some 115gr loads and had some empty cases jam - as if stovepipe but still facing forward- I read posts on this issue. At least one mag had weak spring and I changed it but have not been out to test again. I am not sure if the ever so slight reduction in cycling speed makes any difference
5) Do you just seem to like it better for other reasons unknown...you just do...
6) I have heard that with the S2K, one can do the rifle version of "limp wristing" and have cycling issues if not holding securely to shoulder
Since I reload, if it drops empty brass more uniformly it is worth it for that alone.
I would not go to poorhouse if I bought one and decided to go back to original, but as I have mentioned before, I have a drawer full of "upgrades" for things that just weren't and have been removed. I originally has the double length in mind instead but still too small of diameter for comfortable grip to me.
Thanks again for your time.
