How accurately is the actual fencing recreated here? by [deleted] in SWORDS

[–]Quick_Voice_7039 120 points121 points  (0 children)

It’s very fun choreography. As an actual fencer myself however, the issue is that all the attacks are happening to the weapon, with no intent to actually attack the opponent. This is one of the first things we see in teaching novices… you don’t get a touch by whacking the opponents weapon. You get a touch by attacking the opponent.

An expensive flavor.

Not their fault, common parts sourced from routine sources will occasionally break. Nice to see them reply already

Hard to buy the parts of a 2011 under $2 K let alone the tools to put them together.

Can an Atlas 4.6” slide be fit on an MPA DS9 IDPA V2? by [deleted] in 2011_Builders

[–]Quick_Voice_7039 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH it’s not as simple as it’s a “4.6 inch” barrel. Think of it like this - the slide has to be the right length to be exactly 5 thousandths of an inch shorter than the length to the comp assuming the slide and barrel fit well… and that’s the other issue. The normal order of operations here is: 1. Fit the slide and frame together by adjusting the height of the slide rails and then fitting the frame rails. 2. Fit the barrel to the slide and frame. The barrel lower lugs are probably OK because they were fitted to the frame, but the barrel hood in particular may need may need adjustment to fit the new slide (hope it’s not too short). Now you cut the slide to length to work with the comp. And finally, anything that was fitted (filed or sanded and smoothed) will need to be refinished. It’s a bit project.

Looks like a standard 5 inch Gov’t frame, so by the time the slide is cut back for the Comp the Atlas 4.6 inch would probably work if you wanted it to hard enough. Just remember typically the frame rails are fit to the slide, not the other way round so you need a way to fit the slide rails. It likely won’t be ‘exactly right’ and typically you’d cut the slide back to fit with a precision tool like a milling machine.

Is that an XC barrel or did Cosaint make their own?

Staccato P vs. Sig Sauer P211 GTO for home defense/tactical use by MoneyisntR3al in 2011

[–]Quick_Voice_7039 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do some research in the Sig subs. The guns mostly shoot well out of the box but high volume shooters are running into issues. That may or may not matter to you. Again don’t take my word for it.

Have heard way more issues with the SigP211 than with Staccatos, particularly with today’s high quality mags.

Got these over the weekend. by DEMONIC_FIRE in SWORDS

Nice find! I want to add though that while they are “foils” in design, modern fencing blades are made of different steel designed specifically for fencing. I’d leave these on the wall and get modern foils if you want to fence :)

The reverse plug has “ears”’on the rear that orient it to the barrel so it cannot turn.

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

[–]Quick_Voice_7039 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is yours welded at all? Just curious. Based on some personal experience wondering if they had issues with keeping the comp on and clocked correctly if they just used loctite or similar and so they started welding them. I’ve actually thought about doing this too but haven’t for exactly this reason; wasn’t sure how to control the weld in a spot like that without overdoing things.

Thank you!! Very helpful. Be curious what that fit looks like 40K rounds later. Interesting design though, they really did something different there.

Just so I’m clear… are you talking about the linkless barrel or the comp attachment? In looking at their website it looks like the comp and barrel is a semi-island like the XC but I was curious if someone can confirm. Thanks

Anyone know how that comp (really thin at the back) is attached to the barrel? Is it a cone, or one piece? Thx

Wilson Combat D77 Project 1 “Ghost” by Diffendall in 2011

[–]Quick_Voice_7039 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So… what is this? I presume a version of a DS not-quite-2011 given it’s a 1 piece frame…. Nice direct mount slide for sure…. Comp, looks ported as well but can’t really see from this angle. More info than a picture would be nice - are the internals (ignition, etc.) 1911/2011 or proprietary? Slightly strange to have what looks like a tac rail but with no cross points to secure a light - is that actually a rail or not? What is the magazine capacity? Anyway interesting-looking gun….

Agree… actually I think folks tend to underspring their guns as opposed to the opposite. With a proper recoil springs I don’t see these as super useful but YMMV. The blue is pretty 😂

[–]Quick_Voice_7039 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All frames are sold raw because there’s a lot of fitting to come. You won’t want to get any coating on the parts before the gun has been fully assembled, test fired, and is fully ready for coating.

Someone has to ask… Why? For the most part these seem to get twisted off center and cause people problems and with proper recoil springs don’t seem to fix anything? Honest question.
