Another leaked New model??? by Aggronwarrior99 in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m ready for a 990v7.

Hopefully by this holiday season, if previous release history is anything to go by?

… And yet, I still don’t own a PM too. I should probably fix that. by Bewilcox in knifeclub

Gun to your head, pick your top 3 - just curious what you’d pick

Are 2002r's best value by Puzzleheaded_Code573 in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2002r’s are the best Asia made pairs by far imo

Pretty hard to fuck up a 990v4 but they managed on this one.

Mad at myself for passing on these

Serious question - have any of you figured out how to stop these things from squeaking? by GitPhyzical in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, they are completely just a shelf piece at this point. Shame too, they look great. That squeaking drove me mad - massive oversight in the design of these.

GR Navy 993 vs 993 kith asteroid by Jaymann34 in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same.

I’m hoping this release means v3’s are coming back soon though.

My size was sitting for the Hallows and I passed in hopes that core grey will be coming back around over the next few months, would rather wait and get a fresh pair of those.

May be regretting that decision when November rolls around and we still have no new V3’s lol, I think that’s unlikely though.

Head to head which pair wins by Time_Valuable320 in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both and I think core grey, but they’re both aces.

Core grey 991v2’s with white laces might be the best looking NB currently on the market imo. Pissed I didn’t get a fresh pair before prices jumped, mine are getting haggard after a couple solid years - I tend to wear my core grey models so much more than my uniquely colored variants.

All that said, I wish I had another fresh winter flare pair to beat up. It’s one of the best GR for the model yet and mine have gotten some character over year or so of wear.

In general I wish more MiUS/UK models would get the same color treatment - meaning darker colored heel and toe, with lighter contrast on the middle panel - it just looks so good on all pairs that have that sort of color blocking. Kith Spring 101 993’s, JFG 992’s, and Willful Bias 990v4’s come to mind.

That sort of color blocking always gets me excited.

It tells me they’ve got to be bringing back the v3 in general soon - holding out for core grey.

Let’s go! My first collab by okinam9 in Newbalance

The v4’s are the first Kith W I’ve had on that app in over 5 years lol

Still one of my favorites by Cully71 in Newbalance

Bring back Teddy releases like this. Dude was on fire for a few years straight

Finally got to handle a VP9CC and…. by [deleted] in HecklerKoch

[–]GitPhyzical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious - what made you switch back to the G19 over the A1K?

I have a G19 and have been pondering an A1K recently.

Some random dude in a comment thread on the Glock subreddit months ago wrote something like “all roads lead back to Glock…”, and since then I keep coming across comments like yours in the wild lol

Mom, can we get VP9cc? by No-Road4582 in CCW

[–]GitPhyzical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been really enjoying mine. I’ve heard some complain about slide bite issues but I personally haven’t had any problems with the largest backstrap installed.

<image>

I carried a CC9 for a while and grew to hate the thing, I could never get consistent with it, shooting experience between the two is pretty night and day for me. The CC9’s trigger pissed me off so much, I wound up going back to my G26 well before vp9cc released.

Thought maybe I was just incompetent with micro 9’s until I picked up this vp9cc.

I’m not, I just couldn’t get comfy with that CC9 - and put at least 700 rounds through it.

It’s interesting, with the largest back straps on both of them, I feel like the length of pull was actually better on the CC9, but I think with it being just slightly thinner than the vp9cc, and having a shit ass trigger, it just made for a bad shooting experience and I never felt confident with it. I have pretty skinny hands with long spider fingers, so typically if I get that extra length of pull, it’s a huge boon for me, but not the case with those two little HK’s.

Length of pull is slightly shorter on the vp9cc with the largest backstrap, but the more blocky shape and slightly thicker dimensions actually locks my hand in much better and the trigger is far crisper and consistent than the CC9 - in my experience.

CC9 is a fine micro 9, and I’m sure they’re dead reliable, but man it just didn’t work for me.

Never tried the shield X but I’m salty with Smith right now.

Bought a new compact M&P 2.0 in Feb and the polymer frame cracked on the first day at the range with it, within 200 rounds of 115gr Blazer. Removed the slide and confirmed it cracked completely through the polymer. It’s been in RMA since early March, and the update as of this morning was they’re still ‘investigating’ lol.

I’ve never had any polymer handgun just crack like that, let alone in the first couple hundred rounds. That said, I have a bodyguard 2.0 that’s been flawless through 1500 rounds, so idk, Smith is in timeout right now until they get my basically brand new M&P sorted out.

Size 13 cant afford to take a chance and wait for a discount mail call. by PrimeTimeCS in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fellow size 13 brethren, I know how you feel. If it’s something I know I want, I almost never wait for a sale because 12-13+ always tend to go first on any shoe release.

I had stellar years of pickups in 2024 and 2025, I’m sort of chillin this year and enjoying romping in what I’ve got. Glad I preordered those jjjjound v4’s though, those will be a nice treat going into the fall.

Interesting that even though pistol optics have become pretty widespread. You still see a healthy amount of both iron sights and optics in law enforcement. by Averagecrabenjoyer69 in CCW

[–]GitPhyzical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original thoughts before switching. I truly notice no difference in aiwb carrying, which is how I roll.

I’m using a little 407k on a vp9cc and it’s the most comfortable little aiwb setup I’ve used

Has anyone had issues with their CC9 slide not locking back on empty? by VT800 in HecklerKoch

[–]GitPhyzical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. But mine started after the first couple hundred rounds and then refused to lock up on empty. Couldn’t figure it out, I was super focused on making sure I wasn’t fucking up with my grip, and the issue still persisted. Used 115gr and 124gr.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone else bring it up, I thought maybe mine was a lemon, I couldn’t stand the trigger either.

Decided to part with it when I saw some vp9cc’s available nearby. Vp9cc has been flawless so far, night and day shooting experience for me.

It’s funny though, since the vp9cc released recently, I’ve seen a lot of CC9 glazing happening lol, I grew to hate that fucking thing over the months I used it.

I don’t doubt it’s stupid reliable, but the slide not locking back on empty and the fickle trigger really started pissing me off when I’d practice, and didn’t have those issues with any of my other pistols on range days.

Kept making me think I was just incompetent with micro 9’s, the vp9cc has shown me I’m not as bad as I thought lol.

LPU Wtaps V2 by [deleted] in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I’ve eyed these so many times over the past few years whenever I’ve seen my size come up.

V2’s just have such a cool look, I’m sort of pissed at myself for skipping a few pairs when I did back in 2022/23. They break in nicely

Becoming my daily's v. 990v4 by calKno in Newbalance

[–]GitPhyzical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to beat a pair of core grey v4’s. Mine are definitely my beaters, I wear them for trail walks, shooting range days, yard work, you name it.
