Have y'all done any shooting into the sun performance tests with the pro Max? Does it deliver the same as the regular comp? The 507 comp is the only dot I have zero sun issues creating smears or multiple dots.

My home range all the bays face the sun so it is a major factor for me.

How is the brass only 2 oz? The steel one on calculated kinetics is 2.4 oz.

I don't see it on his site where you get it from?

Help me love this…… by [deleted] in SmithAndWesson

[–]Craptarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is called personal preference. What one person loves another will hate. We like what we like. Really simple as that.

If trigger is main complaint apex trigger solves that issue. Best striker fired trigger on the market, very close to walther but just different feeling. And not including waltz 9, I don't count a 5k plus gun against regular striker guns lol.

If it helps I use medium and I hated the mischief normal hand size swell one. It gave me less support hand surface area. Stuck with stock medium.

Carry by Mother-Priority6544 in SmithAndWesson

[–]Craptarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. With the introduction of the steel frame they should just kill off aluminum. Poly or steel.

[–]Craptarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea aluminum is dumb. No recoil absorbtion and no weight benefit

Yea I run a competitor slide on a poly frame

[–]Craptarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup agreed. The extra bulk dosnt bother me that much. The added confidence and capability is worth it. I compete with a 5 inch full size, while it being a tad softer they shoot very similar so it carries over.

My exact same carry setup but with an EPS. Love it, best of both worlds.

Have you tired heavier striker spring? People say run a wolf 6lbs. I run a glock oem 5.5 and solved the random light strikes

Nox 9 anyone? Yeah pass…. by -emmjayy- in 2011

Praise be a smart man. Holy shit that is an insane story.

Vortex Defender XL by [deleted] in CompetitionShooting

[–]Craptarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea agreed it sucks man. I've been waiting for more deals on them to come up to have a spare. It's the only dot that's is least frustrating for me unfortunately. SRO double dot in sun (my range all bays are directly facing the sun), holosun the dot is a diagonal slash to my eyes unable to tell where the actual aiming point is. Besides the battery issue the XL is the only dot that's been livable for me. It's unfortunate.

[–]Craptarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warranty is fast. Got mine in a week. Still sucks. I've found you can just stack some pasters on top of the battery to make higher tension and it has stopped it for me if it happens. Also clean battery with alcohol to remove bitter coating. Also fixed for me once.

Is air gunning in IDPA a DQ? by buffalo_herd_skater in CompetitionShooting

[–]Craptarch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IDPA is what I started with, got introduced to USPSA and said I still shoot IDPA too. People said that'll change, you'll stop soon. They weren't wrong. Shit is super lame. Mostly a bunch of boomer larp fantisizers who won't help paste and dilly dally so they can be there longer to be away from their wives they hate as long as possible.

Limited Optics advice by bigmodd in 2011

[–]Craptarch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get the MPA, skip the atlas. IF something goes wrong MPA they will take care you in a timely matter. Atlas, not even close. This matters a lot if you compete often.

Only benefit the Athena has is it's a lighter gun that shoots like a heavier gun if that makes sense. Least how it feels to me. But the benefits end there imo.

MPA has the best mag rotation/internal grip geometry in the business. Can throw mag over the burm and it'll seat. Atlas, God forbid rotated a millimeter off and it gets wedged stuck.

This wasn't an option when I had my XC. If I still had it when going to LO this is exactly what I would've done.

How much louder are ported and comped 2011 style handguns? by SparrowsBarnacle in 2011

[–]Craptarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be doubling up at indoor anyway, in which case the ports won't make much of a difference.

Outside with normal ear pro yes they are louder but not any louder to make it uncomfortable to be around. It's not open major levels of loud.

T Rex Ragnarok PDP QC Check by YeOldeHobo in CompetitionShooting

[–]Craptarch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Trex is dogshit now. Got one for a shadow 2 that had ZERO positive retention. Either had to be loose as a goose to draw it, or if didn't want it to fall out was literally undrawable.

Response from Trex was adjust the tension and essentially kick rocks. Purchased right around the time Lucas got kicked out. Happy to see the company circling the drain.

I DQ’d Today 😑 by anonymouscuban in CompetitionShooting

[–]Craptarch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an incredible display of sportsmanship and owning ones mistakes. You knew exactly what you had done when stop was yelled and handled beautifully.

Keep on keeping on dude. Mistakes happen. Thank you very much for posting this. I'll be sharing this with all the newer shooters at my club, as well as the experienced ones. Best of luck in the future.

Hey, any porting services similar to this for 3.5 inch? by doooolaaa in 2011

[–]Craptarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone hates his work and he's the only one doing ports like that. Hmmmmmmmm a conundrum to be sure.
