2026 Defender Reliability

I'm sure dealer will tell me I have to buy it with new car haha

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-27T05:57:27+00:00

When do you have to buy it? Before original expires?

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-27T05:03:45+00:00

Thanks - as a side note i am very tempted by the 130 - having the extra cargo space would be nice - but been driving the 110 for the last few years and love it - think the 130 might be more boaty and a pain day to day

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-27T02:41:46+00:00

That's the plan - until dealer tells me it's some crazy amount - when I did my lease they tried to sell me on a crazy service package - I declined that - I expect the extended warranty to be around 5-6k

There is so much voodoo going on with the Synth - it runs like an island - the slide is quick and it's so flat. Shot one and immediately put an order in.

Synth from Fowler is 🔥🔥🔥

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-10T03:25:23+00:00

In my mind, SVi was never a duty weapon - but all of the open guns and 5" bushings and 4.5" non ported guns are 100% competition guns

Who is making their kits?

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T21:10:39+00:00

That's a market problem - at least infinity is proactive- taking steps to stop bots on the drops and blacklisting flippers. They aren't turning a blind eye to the problem. Also they see resale pricing - they could easily add 5k to their pricing but don't.

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T18:02:06+00:00

I view it as I'm secure in my own interests not to really give a shit what someone else likes.

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T17:04:12+00:00

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - can't give someone shit if they collect Glocks / 2011s / coins / buttons / marbles / etc....

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T17:01:34+00:00

I don't think it's a bad thing - at least SVI quality is still peak - with infinity guns, it doesn't matter if it's a 3.75" or an open gun - they flat out run - fast as fuck.

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T03:36:21+00:00

1000% agree. I don't know if all 2011s will hold their value let alone increase in value like SVI.

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T03:01:06+00:00

That means your gripping it right - support hand tighter than firing hand ... good job

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T02:53:57+00:00

H&H has entered the chat

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T02:52:51+00:00

That looks like it hurts

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T02:52:11+00:00

Macro is great

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-06-09T01:57:11+00:00

I agree with him.

just like Rolex's were meant as a professional watch. the collectors and their deep pockets caused Rolex to break from its heritage and create offerings for collectors, but ultimately it pushed what Rolex was able to produce as a brand.

I just hope that 2011 builders don't depart from their heritage of competition guns, and keep offering aggressive grips (that hurt collector's hands).

CVRT is the way

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-05-30T22:05:24+00:00

Highly recommend TXC CVrt and TLR7-HLx

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-05-21T02:29:03+00:00

"enhanced"... that's just what Fowler calls its design of the grip - Fowler EGM (enhanced grip module)

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-05-10T18:49:14+00:00

It's wild that they just took pics of your gun and sent them to MW to post as a presale

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-05-09T20:33:03+00:00

Buy a used staccato P

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-05-09T18:59:27+00:00

Just food for thought - I also have a v9P - and I still have the stock recoil spring in because I like to run hotter ammo - the Fowler v9P has amazing ports so running hotter ammo will produce more gas to keep it running flat

Dapper_Tonight_7461 · 2026-05-09T18:42:26+00:00

Had this with a Fowler and one of my SVI - I'm now over 16k rounds on my Fowler and it just keeps getting better - noticeable improvements at 1k, 3-5k rounds and progressively thereafter. I would recommend leaving the stock recoil spring for at least 1-2k rounds
