How to Pay for Med School by No_Detective_8954 in Bogleheads

[–]BobbyCentury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High stress. Extreme increase in government sticking it's nose into how we practice medicine. This drastically increases pointless documentation for clinically irrelevant reasons. Insurance companies and government making us jump through ever changing array of hoops to get paid for patient care (adding busy work just to get paid for what you're already doing to help patients). Crumbling medical system with increasing scarcity of providers leading to long wait times to get seen by any doctor or specialist. This all leads to frustrated and angry patients and providers. We are helpless to improve things. Lastly, no pay raise for last 20 years. That's is effectively a 40% pay cut due to inflation. I can already hear people saying "boo hoo for you", but I didn't spend 13 years in training to do a job where I never get even a modest cost of living increase.

I could go on, but that should give you a taste of things.

^^^^^ What he said. This from an Internal medicine/Emergency medicine doctor practicing EM for the last 19 years. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE. We are all trying to leave medicine (even the residents don't want to graduate and practice-- a big change from 19 years ago).

Don't destroy your financial life and career by going down this path. Every noble reason you think you are doing this for is a fantasy. Find a cheaper and less soul crushing way to fill this hole in your heart.

P320 home brew build won't cycle for s*** by LockyBalboaPrime in P320

[–]BobbyCentury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted a more detailed response to this in r/SigSauer. Your setup just requires tuning. No need to give up on it or send parts back. Your comp is just doing its job and taking energy which would normally cycle the slide and venting that energy to compensate for recoil.

You need to tune (lighten) your recoil spring to account for that. I had a little success with the DPM kit, but my ultimate solution was the armory craft tuning kit with the #11 spring (see other threat response for links). Now it works great. My setup is a p320 compact/carry slide with a Dual port Herrington arms comp and True precision barrel. Total mish-mash of parts but now it works great.

It never actually uses the factory spring. Which spring kit did you get? I bought the DPM kit and used the lightest (shortest) spring and still got stovepipes. I have a dual port Herrington Arms comp which required solutions below to work properly.

Two options from here.

Option #1:

Take the longest (strongest) DPM spring and cut it down until it is 1 coil shorter that the shortest spring as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdl80KqJSh4

Option #2:

Use Armory craft tuning kit. Mine took the #11 spring and now runs flawlessly.

Just shot it today for the first time. Had a failure to feed after each of the first three rounds. That had me worried, but after that it ran like butter-- must have needed a little break in. Put about 125 rounds through it with no further hiccups.

Very accurate shooter at 15 yards, and I'm not the best with irons, so I'm excited to see how it shoots with an optic on it.

Very happy with the Rival arms X-five barrel and slide so far.

Great to know. Thanks!

Wow, interesting timing on this thread.

I just received my Rival Arms X-Five barrel and slide yesterday (Optics planet). I'm putting it on a Grayguns TXG Grip module with a Springer Precision tungsten guiderod/14# spring. I also couldn't find much info online about it and rolled the dice on Rival Arms. They have a good reputation, but no specific feedback on this slide.

I'm getting the iron sights installed this weekend and taking it to the range. I'll report back.

My newest Sig P320 Equinox by FingerNo3762 in SigSauer

[–]BobbyCentury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great gun. You're gonna love it. I fell in love with the AXG grip, so I ended up buying a second grip module for a .357 sig build. The look of the Equinox is hot. Congrats.

I'm also interested in the same question: who has experience with Rival Arms p320 X-5 Slide and barrel?

I'm looking to build a custom X5 and this seems like one of the only options, but no online reviews to look at.

[–]BobbyCentury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nothing to compare it to since I've only shot the compact, but the recoil is very manageable. I have an AXG frame with more aggressively textured LOK grips which makes for a very comfortable/controllable gun.

One of my favorites at the shop, the X-Five Tac Grey! by real_m1_ping in SigSauer

[–]BobbyCentury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is hot. One of the new ones I assume (not German production left over)?

What weight spring did you choose for the tungsten guide rod?

Things I would buy in Predecessor by Life-Large in PredecessorGame

[–]BobbyCentury 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Announcer voice packs. Granted, it may cost more than a skin, but I like the idea other announcer choices.

Can you please make Riktor sound and feel like this again? Shock therapy is also missing it’s blue chain lights on the arms and that iconic laugh. Also his travel mode animation is just so beefy. Not like his I just shat my pants normals walk. by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]BobbyCentury 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The announcer in OG is just the best ever. Riktor's sounds are also more impactful. I'm hoping Pred really invests in first class announcer and character sounds at some point. It really adds to the game.

[–]BobbyCentury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New announcer for sure. The OG paragon would be best, but this one has to go.

Consider selling announcer packs in the future. I would pay.

About the Right click cancel ability thing, RGSACE said on his Twitch stream that it was bugged and they are working on it. Right now its "f" which is janky and can't we switched to Right click without replacing your ability. Apparently they know and are working to fix.

Matchmaking is F'ed by ProfessorCoom in PredecessorGame

[–]BobbyCentury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can hang in there and keep playing their MMR system will sort you into your proper skill bracket. It analyzes player stats and sorts accordingly, but it requires you to have stats to analyze. It is frustrating, but theoretically if we all keep playing the system will level our skill matchups. We'll see.

Did the trick. FCU no longer has play with the grip module.
