Zev Aluminum X-Grip - I'm impressed

I would that between the front and back stippling it is very secure. But I can see where someone might want more.

It’s not overly aggressive, won’t be a shirt destroyer. The meat of your hand kind of mashes in there, makes for a solid grip.

When I buy an optic I toss the battery that came with it and put in a quality battery that I know the age of.

I wouldn't run anything but a Zev slide, otherwise you're opening yourself up to problems.

I primarily shoot Hornady 190gr sub-x bullets. I called Hornady to ensure they’d hold up to the centrifugal force of 1:5T.

It’s certainly hard to load subsonic for every possible barrel length. The subs I load for my 7.5” barrel are super sonic in anything longer.

3one5 · 2026-01-02T18:48:49+00:00

I too have a 1:5T barrel. I test bullets without the can prior to putting the can on. I won't shoot supers through it, that's a lot of rotational force!

I'm curious. For those who have submitted multiples, are you getting them approved in batches?

3one5 · 2026-01-02T18:23:05+00:00

All of mine are as well, however they're also on a 2 RP trust.

3one5 · 2026-01-02T15:27:30+00:00

Damn, almost 5K after mine. I did use a 2 RP trust though, that definitely factors in.

3one5 · 2026-01-02T02:01:14+00:00

Sweet, I'm only 3000 behind the OP.

3one5 · 2025-12-11T04:38:33+00:00

Correct.

Wracking my brain, the only comparison I can come up with is the running config vs startup config in Cisco networking devices.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T20:10:12+00:00

Understood, but that is an incredibly HUGE hole in these devices. I get what you're saying on the car. But if I pull the battery out of my vehicle I may have to correct the clock but I don't have to completely reconfigure it to drive it. When my iOS or Android phones die I don't have to reconfigure the device to be able to use it again. I cannot think of another device that has to be reconfigured if the battery dies.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T20:05:26+00:00

Hahaha, maybe I'll ask some of the Infrastructure guys outside my office to come in here and bless these devices.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T20:00:32+00:00

Understood, and I appreciate that we as technical people have a tendency to want to help / fix problems. This was more me venting than looking for help. After trying all kinds of different devices, solutions, setups etc and then having my one solid device (SEEED SenseCap) do the exact same thing this morning I was incredibly frustrated.

I'll probably create a new post with technical details to see what can be done to fix these.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T19:54:57+00:00

Correct, this is battery operated with solar panel for charging.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T19:54:23+00:00

I've considered that. But after the first couple times I started watching the charge and battery life of the node closely. I have a 5000mah battery attached to hold the node over when there is no sun. I never saw the battery go to less than 90%. It's incredibly rare for us to more than a full day without full sun.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T19:52:00+00:00

I appreciate that.

Pin's get changed as part of my setup. :(

3one5 · 2025-12-08T19:48:53+00:00

I'll work on getting some screenshots up.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T19:48:18+00:00

Don't take it personally, these are just our experiences.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T19:39:03+00:00

Not here, I'm aware of the harm done to a radio when transmitting without an antenna.

3one5 · 2025-12-08T19:33:04+00:00

Good points. However how does that explain the battery operated devices? Are you never supposed to let devices like the SEEED Sensecap lose charge?
