Went and picked up my silencer today. EchoCore Sector Compact. Just put it on. I’ll go to the range tomorrow and play with it. Can’t wait. Full build is in a previous post if anybody is interested in what all I have here, but it’s got a lot of stuff done to it.
I’m looking at getting a silencer for my Kuna. What’s everybody using? Thinking about the PTR Vent 2, but that’s not set in stone. I’m going to change my lower so I can run an FRT. I know the Vent line is supposed to be a high flow silencer, but will I need to do something else to run a silencer with an FRT? Is there a better high flow silencer I need to be looking at when running an FRT? Do I need to do something with the gas system?
I am really wanting to get into competitive shooting and I think the Carry Optic division seems like it might be the most approachable. I’ve been reading the rules and found out that none of my pistols will work in that division without needing to do some fairly expensive modifications to “down grade” them to fit the criteria. That means I’m most likely in the market for a new firearm. I’ve never been a Glock guy (even though they seem like fine guns) but what are some other top tier options? I like the Walther PDP’s (and have one I upgraded too far to be used) and love my Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp (but it’s got a big hole in the top of the barrel which counts it out as well). Any opinions would be appreciated. Do I just need to get over my Glock Phobia and join the rest of the world? Do I just get another PDP? Is there a 2011 out there that’s good with minimal modifications?
I’ve got an older Sig 556R (the 7.62X39 that takes AK mags and all that). It’s a great gun and I have never had an issue with it. The only thing I don’t like about it is the cheap feeling hand guard. I know it’s older, and probably difficult to find parts for, but does anybody know where I can pick up a decent M-LOK or even quad rail hand guard?
Looking for my first fixed blade for EDC. Really like the looks of the Tkell knives, but don’t know anybody who has one. Would like to get some first hand info from people who have one before I make the decision.
I’m toying with the idea of getting my Pro Comp V6 ported. Has anybody done it, and if so, is there a noticeable improvement in performance?
Is there a way to shorten the pull in the first stage of the trigger pull? I still want the two stage trigger, I just want the take up to be a little shorter. Love the break and the reset is fantastic, I just would like to shorten the take up. Added a pic of my WIP build for visibility.
So, I’ve put about 1200 rounds through my Pro Comp 2K11 today (it was a good day) and I’ve about figured out that after about 1000 rounds, it needs to be cleaned. Only malfunction was a few failures to go into battery, but the feed ramp was dirty as hell. Lol. Broke her down, cleaned the ramp with my shirt tail, and stopped having issues. Anybody else have any suggestions on what I can do to help keep the feed ramp from gumming up? Like is there some type of coating or some type of lube or spray I could put on it. I was using cheap practice ammo, so I’m sure that’s why I it got so noticeably dirty. I was basically just trying to see how long it would take to have issues. Basically worst case scenario type stuff. Good news is I found what I was looking for.
Just wanted to drop a pic of my two favorites. Got the 2K11 Pro Comp a couple weeks ago. Been loving it. One of the most fun pistols I’ve ever shot. Cant wait to take it back to the range and run it some more. I’ve also put a lot of work (read as threw money at it until it did exactly what I wanted) into the PDP. It’s the best striker pistol I’ve ever shot. Granted, I’ve shot it more than any other striker I’ve ever been around. Anyway, this is basically just a gun porn post. Just wanted to share.
I am looking for an IWB holster for my 2K11 pro comp. I’ve run the T. Rex holsters before but they don’t have a holster specifically for my Pro Comp. Is there a better holster for 3:00 - 4:00 position (I like the sweat pad). I am having trouble finding one. I assume any 2011 4.25” holster would probably work, but don’t want to waste money on a lefty holster that won’t work. Picture because she’s a beauty and I love it.
So, I finished my PDP build. Thank you to all the people who gave me information and recommendations on parts. It’s been incredibly informative and I learned a lot. The gun shoots amazing. Best pistol I’ve ever shot. Put about 800 rounds through it so far and can’t wait to put more through it.
Build specs:
PDP Pro E 4.5”
Streamlight TLR-7
Jarvis threaded barrel
PMM single cut compensator
ZR Tactical 15# recoil spring
Trijicon SRO optic
My Jarvis barrel and PMM compensator came in and I put it on. After a breaking period (150 or so rounds) I have had some issues with spent casings ejecting properly. I did have some ejection issues and failure to feed issues during the break in period, but the failure to feed issues have all but stopped. I put 600 or 700 rounds through it today and I’d have an ejection issues every 3 or 4 mags. What could I do to fix this? I love the way it shoots with the compensator so I really don’t want to take it back off. Do I need to change my recoil spring to a lighter spring?
Shooting freshFederal 115 grain. Haven’t had an issue with this ammo in the past, so I doubt that’s it, but it might just be an ammo issue, but I don’t know. Any help would be appreciated.
Want to start out by saying I’m a 45 year old man who works with his hands all day every day and I have some carpal tunnel with a side of arthritis and a serving of trigger finger for dessert. I still make do, and this ain’t a pity party by any means. All that being said, I get hand cramps and fatigue from constantly squeezing the trigger on simi auto guns. In some other games, there is a toggle that allows all single fire/ burst fire weapons to be toggled to “full auto”. This won’t change the way ripper guns work or allow non ripper weapons to benefit from the (arguably best) weapon enhancements in the game. It’ll just make my old gnarled fingers feel better while grinding for weapons and gear. I’d love to hear from the community here and get some feedback from other folks on if they think this would be a good idea or if they think it would be detrimental in some way that I haven’t thought of.
Hellwalker for visibility and to show you my current muse that’s killing my hands. Lol.
I bought a new PDP and it came with a red dot installed. I sighted it in and it holds a good zero, but the dot seemingly turns off randomly. It also doesn’t stay running when it’s holstered, and I’m not turning it off. I can’t find any info in the owners manual as to what brand it is, so I can’t find any operation info on it. I’ll get a new one if I need to just for reliability purposes, but if it’s something I can easily change regarding the dot, I’d rather do that first before spending money I might not need to spend. Attached are pictures of the dot in the hopes someone can tell me about it or direct me to some place where I can find info on it.
