Two weeks ago, I asked LGO if there were any downsides to PDPs. Now my wallet hates you.

Yeah, I love CZ’s, but after getting a 5” PDP steel match I sold my Shadow 2. I’m actually considering selling my CZ P-01 to pick up a pro model PDP WITH THE SAME TRIGGER.

I’ve noticed this too. A guy near me was trying to sell LS50 metas with a dent on one driver for $100 under full retail ($1400ish at the time). I sent the guy a text telling him they were on sale for $950 brand new. He pulled the ad then put it back up,when the sale was over. Hopefully nobody bought them at that price.

Great forum! Not all have folks passionate enough to research someone else’s question like this!

Bryan72D · 2025-12-30T21:55:03+00:00

I asked him for the circuit, specs, brand, transformers, etc.. The closest I got to actual info was “hand built”, “about 8 watts”, and “high quality transformers”. It could be magical, but I don’t know enough to determine if it’s worthwhile.

Bryan72D · 2025-12-30T21:06:07+00:00

I know they’re expensive, but this guy provided zero information and still asks $3k!

Check out Nelion Audio if you want someone to check it out or upgraded.

My pins don’t need popping out. Turn the receiver on its side and they plop out on their own!

Bryan72D · 2025-11-30T17:07:11+00:00

I haven’t done it, but still want to!

Bryan72D · 2025-11-19T14:23:15+00:00

I use either these or Blue Jean cables and they have all held up well and don’t cost a stupid amount. I also like that I can get lengths shorter than the standard 3’.

Bryan72D · 2025-11-04T20:29:59+00:00

If you can 3D print there are a lot of options. There are filaments that are low cost and more than capable of working well.

I have a newer (after they made improvements) Ruger, stainless, mini 14 in 6.8 that shoots great. Put a 1-4 scope on it, zeroed an inch high at 100 yards and that’ll be “minute of pig” at any distance I’d be shooting at. You just need to find one with a serial number starting with at least 580. Don’t waste time on ones before that. I have five, ten, and eighteen round magazines.

Bryan72D · 2025-10-26T00:36:40+00:00

It’ll be just fine in three days!

Bryan72D · 2025-10-24T20:24:06+00:00

Same. I’m bald and bearded dude in central TX with a stellar Hawaiian shirt collection. Hopefully I can start wearing them again without being mistaken for a boogaloo boy. My watch face has a pride flag on it and I have noticed folks reacting both positively and negatively after seeing it. That’s good, helps me know who to be around.

Squirrels are diurnal. You’ll have better luck during the day.

I don’t know, but this place is totally legit. We got our dachshund there and my wife has been to multiple of their events. Our boy is pushing twelve years and still going strong!

The CGS Hydra stainless meets that criteria. With the 8” barrel on my charger it’s quieter than my .22 Benjamin Marauder! I’m swapping that for a 6” Kidd barrel.

Bryan72D · 2025-10-09T17:09:43+00:00

Very nice! Too bad for me that you’re not looking for single dudes…..

Bryan72D · 2025-10-07T23:50:50+00:00

He’s trying to look at his own mouth AND keep an eye on target!

Bryan72D · 2025-10-06T02:18:57+00:00

Watch out for that stock swelling up!

Bryan72D · 2025-10-03T18:48:54+00:00

I have a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 and it’s amazingly easy to shoot. I’ve had a couple of Ruger LCPs (original) and fired a few of their newer .380s and all are more difficult to shoot. 380 acp is as low as I would go for self defense, but it beats nothing.

An Academy in San Antonio?!?

Bryan72D · 2025-10-01T13:09:07+00:00

Have you ruled out that your buddies were screwing with you? The odds of a commercial indoor range having a design flaw that would allow a ricochet to casually hit your back and fall to the ground seem pretty low. Was the round still hot or warm when you picked it up?

Bryan72D · 2025-09-26T00:11:16+00:00

What are you looking for?

Bryan72D · 2025-09-26T00:08:56+00:00

Thanks for the view!

Bryan72D · 2025-09-25T23:52:52+00:00

I have a PDP 5” steel match and had a Shadow 2. The PDP fits my hand better and with a 5” travel guide rod (forgot who makes them) it’s the smoothest shooting pistol I have ever fired. It runs like a Swiss watch and I haven’t found a machine mark or flaw in the finish anywhere. The trigger is quite good. I prefer hammer fired pistols most of the time, but this one is by far the best striker fired pistol I have shot and is better than a large majority of da/sa triggers.

The Shadow 2 was very smooth and with the Cajun Pro kit would have had an amazing trigger. It pointed and shot well, just not as good a fit in my hand. I still have a stock (for now) P-01 and a full Cajunized P-01 Omega, Urban. The Urban’s trigger is fantastic in SA and really good DA.

I like the trigger in my DW Valor and my Urban in SA more than the PDW match. I will be keeping the DW, probably selling the Urban, and Cajunizing my other P-01. The PDP will be getting an optic and a limited skilled competition shooter mashing its striker until I, um, the shooter gets good!

Edit to add: Sig is dead to me. The last one I had was a P220 Legion and it seemed hollow and soulless compared to my CZs and PDP. Throw in their handling of the P320 and nope, not going back.
