Lighter recoil spring fixed the feeding issue

Changed to the dpm recoil system, that fixed the feeding issue. However accuracy was all over the place, it looked like I was shooing a shot gun. Tried the range ammo I had and federal hollow points. Nothing grouped good. I had thought it was due to the suppressor loosing up the other day, but used threat tape to day and it didn’t budge. I wonder if the long barrel coupled with the weight of the suppressor is a problem. That said, the hux 9k ti isn’t that heavy.

Feeding issues with suppressed p365 aluminum raider

I have tried a spectre 9 and now with a huxworks 9k ti, both will randomly not feed. Slide will lock back and the next round doesn’t load, it even looks like the round is pointed down. It loads fine if you rack the slide. It will also run fine for a few rounds intermittently. Do I need a softer spring setup or a stiffer spring? I have the 6.5” true precision barrel installed. Would a shorter 4.5” barrel work better?

P365 FTF issues

I got my p365 raider out today for the first time and it had multiple FTF, it got better over time, but for a while it was a single shot. It looked like the rounds were nose diving in the mags. It happened with different mags, one 17rd and a 21rd. Do these have a break-in period? Also I have one 17rd mag that is hard to inset and next to impossible to remove. Are they that sensitive to different mags? Running it unsuppressed with a true precision 6.5” barrel. Thanks

Picked up the new stream light V/IR light yesterday

Just tested it last night, IR is bright enough to light up 2/3 of my 2 acre back yard, it is about 110 yards long. It’s bright enough for IDing what you’re looking at, I would be able to id something as small as a skunk. White light is very bright, but is a more focused beam. The lock out switch works well and the rotating head is a cool feature. The only real drawbacks are it is big and double the weight of a surefire scout 650 pro light, 8.8oz for the streamlight. Only one power setting on both white light and IR. Definitely a ln outdoor light or large indoor space (warehouse, etc). Slightly cheaper than Surefire, but much brighter.

Added to the collection today

Paid less than anywhere that has it in stock, honestly think they had it priced wrong.

Brake up grade

Thinking of upgrading the factory brakes on my Salsa horsethief. It has tekro Orion 4p on it. Main reason is I am a heavier rider and they seem to be not held in high regard. Also the are suppose to be hard to bleed properly. Can I only up grade the front or should I do both. I can go up to a 203mm rotor in the front, the rear is limited to 180.

So I did a thing to my STIHL ms362c.

Swapped out the stock muffler for an undaunted cover. Haven’t cut with it, but did start it to hear it. Thing sounds like a dirt bike from my youth with the throttle wide open!

Update on VP9cc, back from HK

So after close to 4 weeks with HK they found nothing wrong. I took it to the range yesterday and but around 80 rounds through it and had 0 malfunctions. Trigger didn’t even give a whisper of a malfunction. Who knows why the trigger locked up the first range time. I am planning to take it back in the next few days and give it another work out.

First mag (12rd), gun ran flawless. Every mag after that it would develop a dead/ stuck trigger. I would depress the safety shoe and pull the trigger and it would travel about 1/3 to half way and stop. It was like it hit a wall. Tried no mag, other mag and nothing. Time for it to go to HK. Feels the same as if you don’t cock the gun and try to pull the trigger.

Feels very good in the hand, though I need to figure out something for the grip, the sides are as slick as a 70’s pickup line. Front and back are decently stippled, not the sides. I also stream light tr7 is too long to mount. 1913 lug sits just in front of the pic rail.
