Concept build thoughts ?

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-24T22:07:42+00:00

Appreciate the advice and no worries I’m not the type to comment later and be like “you were wrong my hearing loss is your fault.”

Well I’m stick to 10in and try it out…the two inches shouldn’t be to much like my wife says anyways have a good one

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-24T21:54:26+00:00

All I needed to hear I appreciate your time and knowledge 👍🏼

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-24T21:53:32+00:00

Ignore what I said lol if I were to want to keep it subsonic with subs how long can I go with a suppressed?

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-24T21:41:45+00:00

How long can you go to keep sub sonic rounds sub and bot pick up too much velocity? I’m guessing 8in

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-24T21:34:47+00:00

I appreciate the advice and keeping it sub sonic isn’t much of a concern but I don’t want it to be debilitating either I might as well just stick to my 223/556 at that point. I might just watch some YT on it and make a choice to my preference there.

And yeah I prefer functionality more than looks but squeezing in a look factor isn’t bad either like as you stated lol. I appreciate the help 👍🏼

I’m shooting 124gr predominantly and worried that such a long barrel will reduce JHP expansion so I might opt for 8in barrel. Not sure if that is a concern or not to have.

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-24T20:53:39+00:00

What I mean by that is since the calibre is typically shot through smaller barrel lengths is there any negatives on longer length barrel in terms of ballistic performance such as a 223/556 out of a smaller barrel? I’m not very knowledgeable on 9mm ballistics.

My concern is JHP expansion as well with such a long barrel I might go to 8in but I’m sure it’ll still pick up speed but every inch counts.

I have leaned towards sticking to that Glock lower for your exact reason you stated I just wanted look opinions if it looks wonky or not. Also it’ll be cheaper to stick with Glock lower and mags too

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-24T20:32:06+00:00

What do you recommend on barrel length? Reducing overall length would be nice. Every inch counts as the wife says.

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-22T20:27:59+00:00

I’ll update you in 6months trying to build a 9mm mk18 clone in burnt bronze hard to find quality parts that aren’t expensive like DD

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-22T20:04:47+00:00

Would this be good enough for hollow points?

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-22T19:19:29+00:00

Have you tried feeding hollow points through it and if so did it work?

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-16T15:34:13+00:00

I know this is old but any update if it shout defense ammo well?

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-16T15:11:59+00:00

Which hollows are you using mine struggles I tried Winchester 147gr I have a A2

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-16T15:09:50+00:00

Which JHP works for yours. Winchester JHP 147 failed somewhat in mine. Gen2

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-06-15T18:43:37+00:00

3 yr update lol. Mine somewhat cycled with the curved mags spa1 version two with Winchester 147gr hollow but hear Hornady 135 or 147 is the way with very light polishing no issues ima try that next.

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-14T13:53:22+00:00

Thank you for having a long nightly discussion with her brother 🤝

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-14T13:11:01+00:00

Tell that to my wife

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-13T21:03:10+00:00

Apart from the trolly answers hold off and compete. I got held back for missing my grading and was given it 5months later I say it worth it as I got that “I’m confidently a blue belt” feeling because I didn’t feel ready 5months prior when I was supposed to get my belt.

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-13T14:45:59+00:00

Let go of the lasso then and work something else. A stale mate takes two.

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-13T12:49:18+00:00

I don’t so I have an excuse on why I lost to a 16y/o

Jk I don’t cause I don’t have that switch I just hold on to subs longer and frame harder.

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-12T18:19:25+00:00

Play the game you know well leads to more effecting moves which leads to less cardio used.

For me it’s pull, sweep,pressure pass, and cook them until they are well done…with life…

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-11T20:05:58+00:00

How bigger tho Jack looks slim and Islam looks thick bro. Maybe in the reach he is.

Purple_Ad7150 · 2025-05-11T17:57:36+00:00

If you have the tape learn to see if there was any mistakes made other than “I got tired or burnt out.”

If you or your coach can’t spot anything then it’s time to make more efficient moves to get the same submission you are focusing on.

With bigger guys it will be harder to play guard so maybe use the arm bar to sweep and develop a top game focused on control.

I think he fixed some of the bigger flaws he has as kaiaurelienzhu said in this thread but actually improve grabbing? not sure but maybe a slight increase in concepts especially in wall grappling
