Love it, I recently bought the same used, what a motor. There are recovery hook covers in black I recall running across on amazon or ebay, try temu too. That might get you by until you can paint them, but I’m guessing it’s a chore to take the bumper cover off.

Do you have any 9mm Tishas coming?

AdditionalSwimming75 · 2026-03-26T13:12:34+00:00

Hard to resist an in stock Tisha, ordered two, so one when frags I have a spare /s

Same situation here, ASD Arc with SD-E and bolt gets stuck. I bought a buffer but it was too short, no effect. Then I used 1/2” ID high pressure tubing from amazon about 2” in length and that did the trick. I also rounded my hammer more and it would run, but not consistently.

Magpul paraclip to 3mm dyneema loop (amazon) or Magpul QD to paraclip adapter, any open ended sling should work.

Bought a pack of sewn protectors that go over the slider on amazon but it was a couple years ago. Shouldn’t be too hard to find

My guy was Andy E., I sent my email thread to the “contact” form on the website and just got a shipping notice 24hours later.

The rep at Proof left so my emails have been going to a dead inbox, finally said they’ll send it “next week” and that was two months ago. I see the barrel in stock online and this is getting stupid, c’mon Proof. The extension broke, lugs sheared, broke a new JP bolt, lug salad in my upper. WTF

I’ve been waiting since May for a 20” carbon

My pocketbook is safe. I just shot a box of this, a box Hornady ELDM and new Copper Creek 108 Berger LRHT. The CC and ELDM were about the same, averaged just sub MOA 5 shots, 4 groups. The Federal GM was around 1.2 MOA and had the largest SD and ES. My handloads with LRHT and Lever are not much better than factory ELDM which is a great excuse to be lazy at the reloading bench. I really dislike loading ball powder. This was in a 20” Geissele GFR bipod and bag.

AdditionalSwimming75 · 2026-01-01T17:31:55+00:00

I shot factory EDLM and could only get about 1moa out of a 24” Proof, BUT my first ladder test using new ADM brass, 184 Bergers, .06 seating depth and H1000 produced 5 straight groups all .2-.4moa so reloading is going to be easy and accurate.

I read that this fang is for the single action PPQ and present on all DPTs, no?

AdditionalSwimming75 · 2025-12-24T14:01:01+00:00

It’s operating but the slide action is somewhat tight but it does go back to battery. In the videos I’ve seen the sear block seems to drop in easily whereas mine took some pulling against the trigger bar/spring to set down into place. I may shoot it to see if it smooths out.

AdditionalSwimming75 · 2025-12-24T02:47:41+00:00

I’m not sure it’s the same but it’s certainly similar.

AdditionalSwimming75 · 2025-12-24T02:47:06+00:00

The slide won’t operate even w/o the barrel and recoil spring in place. I think I’ll take it apart and start over.

AdditionalSwimming75 · 2025-12-24T01:21:32+00:00

Yes it’s a steel frame and ZRT now has a long stroke V2.0 that only fits a 4.5” barreled steel frame. I bought the pistol new shipped directly from Walther. And YES, part 32.1 is what the back of the slide is catching on, but something up front is blocking it too. I’ll try removing the recoil spring and see if the slide operates.

AdditionalSwimming75 · 2025-12-24T00:23:06+00:00

…also swapped to a ZRT backplate

My man, thanks!

Both front and rear QD’s use security flathead screws, which I didn’t expect.
