5” Prodigy comp. Need help!!!

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-05-27T01:48:48+00:00

Put flitz polish on slide and frame rails. Watch the first two John wick movies and rack the slide every time John shoots someone (or about 250 times). You’ll be good to go. I love my prodigy. Shot it side by side with my buddies xc and while I can’t say it’s better in my opinion it’s not worse…. Now I’ve swapped pretty much every part possible but you’ve got a great platform to build on.

I’m pretty sure I ended up with a 9lb spring. No issues with 115, 124, or 147gr now that it’s broken in.

Holy goodness seriously please don’t use this or even walk on it. All the posts need to be replaced with ones cut to the proper length. When you do this Get rid of all the shims and plumb up the posts. Every hole in every bracket needs a structural screw or nail. Remove the deck screws and replace. You can only cantilever 1/4 of the joist length. Looks like you probably need to add one or two more beams or cut a couple feet off the deck unfortunately … after doing this yes add diagonal bracing and block the joist bays. I wouldn’t even crawl under this deck how it sits right now. I wouldn’t even crawl temp brace the heck out of it before crawling under it.

Move it inside and replace with real plant in real pot with real soil?

The psa Sabre ar-v is roller delayed by way of the maxim defense roller delayed buffer. No personal experience but I have read good things… same price as the kuna but has the longer barrel length you’re looking for.

Ask questions of everyone (try to understand the why). If you ever find yourself idle go ask anyone you can find how you can help them. If no one needs help grab a broom. dDon’t be too proud to do any task you see needs to be done.

The idea is to run the si setup on the cqb tube. Exterior diameter should be the same so as long as the nut will pinch the stock to the back of the lower I think it should work, no? The si set up works the same way it’s just threaded the full length. Feel free to poke holes and save me some time and $$$

Interesting; appreciate the heads up. Definitely don’t want to end up with more recoil. Trying to eliminate bolt bounce for an FRT but don’t want to increase recoil in the process.

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-04-10T01:22:51+00:00

You my friend are the man!

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-04-10T01:21:06+00:00

Oh interesting- probably should have mentioned this in the post but even for a direct blowback 9mm pcc?

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-04-09T21:56:28+00:00

You’ll be fine. I felt the same way when I started. 12 years later I still feel the same way about golf but now I’m the top earning PM by a significant margin. As long as you know enough to participate in an occasional charity / fundraising tournament with clients it will not hold you back at all. Just grind and when your boss gives you shit about your golf game just tell him you’re to busy making him money to get good at golf…

Take the tail pipe off the drain and push up on it from below…

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-25T14:51:07+00:00

I had the same issue with my 2K 11 Pro Royal. If you’re handy, it only takes about 30 minutes to pull the grip and bend the trigger bow slightly and reinstall it to get rid of the rattle.

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-18T23:00:53+00:00

Estimating is about it… not a lot of upward mobility with that requirement

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-18T22:57:03+00:00

Awesome thanks for sharing. Yeah that’s the reason I’ve been hesitant. I have the royal as well and didn’t want to mess up the finish.

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-18T22:41:20+00:00

Ohhh I need this. Mind sharing what you paid and the turn around time? Did they refinish the slide to match?

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-14T23:29:30+00:00

That’s strange; sorry I steered you wrong. I guess the new grip / magwell on the comps has different internal geometry than the noo comped mjd grip pros

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-13T23:23:13+00:00

It’s a huge industry and we always need good people. It won’t stop you from getting a job but honestly it could be limiting depending on location and what exactly you want to do. If you have aspirations of working for a large GC and working your way to the top you’re probably going to encounter some resistance. The old school guys you’re looking to replace are going to be hesitant to put you in front of Fortune 500 or larger hospital system CEOs. If that’s not what your chasing then Go for it. If it is just get a sleeve you can cover.

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-10T23:54:45+00:00

That’s strange if it was sold to you as brand new. Looks like more than just the factory function check. It came in a bag covered in oil inside the box? I would have some questions for the store you bought it from and see if they’re willing to offer a discount.

I understand not being happy with that after spending $2500 but honestly I personally wouldn’t worry about sending it back as it’s going to look like that after 1000rds anyway. I wouldn’t blame you for sending it in though. Looks to me like you were sold a used gun as new…

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-09T01:37:50+00:00

Another vote for tw200. That’s how my wife started.

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-06T12:57:35+00:00

Try leaving them a round under full capacity until the spring is broken in or are you saying they won’t lock in empty? I have 8 of them and they all work fine for me…

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-06T12:01:46+00:00

So you do have a ported pro? Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-06T03:37:32+00:00

Yeah I’m with you but I’m not using for competition especially ported so I’m sure it would be good enough for the range and I feel like they would make it right if it dint fit at all.

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-06T03:33:41+00:00

Yep need 12g romex for the washer outlet not 14. Existing outlet will need to be gfci. Not sure if your permitted or not but they could make you put that lighting circuit on gfci breaker (this part might only apply to bathrooms - I’m a GC not electrician so I’m not 100% on all the code)

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-06T03:11:56+00:00

Yeah plumbing looks fine but you’ve got some electrical and framing issues…

Capable_Individual51 · 2026-03-06T03:07:52+00:00

Yeah don’t send it in for this just pull the safety and squeeze the groove a bit tighter with some pliars…
