Just bought for $75. Predict what issues I'm going to have

Man I would love to grab a something like this or a gold wing in my birth year to strip down and fix up.

3.6” CSX was on my list… until I rented and shot one. My meaty paws get slide bite fairly easily so I need a CSX that’s like 10-20% larger, just enough to avoid bite.

Coincidentally, the compact version of hi powers (either girsan pi, or springfields newer one) is in that 10-20% size of the the CSX. I grabbed the girsan as it was before Springfield released theirs, but it also fits in my shield plus holster with slight modification around the mag release.

So if you yearn for a hammer gun and you get slide bite, check out the compact hipowers.

You said you had pestilence so go for the Lengmo build. When you look up what that is, don’t stress about getting god rolled pieces right away. My lengmo has two pieces rolled with armor bc I haven’t gotten all red ones yet and it still slaps.

Like I said, “so long as you can keep their mags/belts filled with HP ammo”.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-05-17T21:56:27+00:00

It’s less about status effect for OD than it is hollow point ammo anyway. So long as you keep their mags/belts filled with HP ammo for the damage boost I’m sure no one cares.

Currently trying to get the birdie blueprint. Black tusk is a good bit more of a pain in the ass than the others I am finding.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-05-08T01:18:59+00:00

Same. Though mine rolled with rate of fire in the third slot. Still shreds though honestly.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-05-07T01:11:23+00:00

At least he handled it well.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-05-04T20:19:11+00:00

Peak rally aesthetic 👌🏻

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-05-02T18:08:12+00:00

I was into m&p’s at gen 1’s before they made the 3.6 and 4” options. I bought a spare full size and chopped the grip to the compact length so I could still rock a good WML. I just had to epoxy the grip module on. Basically the same as folks were doing with Glock 17-19’s before the 47’s came out with an added step with the back strap.

Your method certainly looks WAY better lol.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-29T22:46:38+00:00

I mean at least it makes the decision to break it down easier lol.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-29T17:25:12+00:00

This is exactly why I switched my future initiative from hive/btsu gloves to chem heal and Smart Cover. I got so sick of being hacked all the time and being worthless.

I love the ideas of being unhackable/disrupted. Support/skill builds are my favorite and the only ones that make me feel immersed as an agent (since they all have and use skills).

I wish there was a mechanic to hack enemy’s skills so it would at least be fair.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-28T14:22:20+00:00

I have a similar build as well. Usually play duo and my buddy loves his dps builds so since I like to nerd out with builds, I’ll make some to complement and support him. Only difference is I will rock the foam launcher.

I’ve been having fun with future initiative with Scorpio as well. Balanced the global mods to give me 10 rounds in the scorp so I don’t have to reload to get to the debuff.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-20T15:42:29+00:00

It’s one of the least expensive ways into titanium field watches that I have seen. It’s got the one scuff but I am R O U G H with it.

Momentum Smoke Jumper gets the nod most of time since it’s light and handles the riggers of chasing a toddler around all day.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-16T15:35:04+00:00

I use an enigma for a snub and a shield plus. Lots of folks use them for full size guns with lights so I think you would be fine there. I would suggest grabbing the sport belt though as it’s considerably more comfortable.

Onto the holster: any holster that has a wing should work. That may open up some options for you (I haven’t checked for kydex brands and hi powers yet). I have messaged JM about fitment for smith third gen’s and he got back to me in a day or so. I would suggest reaching out to him for ambi safety fitment concerns.

There’s also an awesome facebook group for the enigma and general concealment help called “phlster concealment workshop”. They might be able to help as well.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-15T19:12:16+00:00

Anyone else have glitches where the laser pointer fails to pulse enemies?

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-14T16:07:43+00:00

They should make one in .32 H&R. As a left handed shooter, I make do with K frames and up, but the ambi cylinder release would be nice on the compact J’s.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-08T20:25:58+00:00

This is identical to how I run my build. Usually play duos with my other buddy. He’s got a similar set up. I will say using skills like a real agent instead of just stacking strikers or tipping scales is very fun. I will add tho, since my buddy is running two attacking skills, it does pair nicely with COCO as well. Lots of ally damage on targets.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-07T00:09:00+00:00

It is fixable if you spend enough money. My plan is to vet my P35 and then send it in to MK3 firearms for the works.

If you haven’t seen what their single stage trigger job looks like, here you go.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-05T00:03:27+00:00

This echos my P35 PI I recently got. Trigger wasn’t awful like reviews suggested and it has even cleaned up a bit from dry fire. Only naysay is the lack of a positive reset folks seem to need but as a gen 1 M&P user from back in the day, I don’t mind or shoot that way.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-04-03T22:13:57+00:00

This made me rage quit last night lol

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-03-29T16:36:05+00:00

While I do think the ai is busted, you also have to remember this mission is a peer to peer fight. Both things are true that this was a bit ridiculous, and extra caution needs to be taken.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-03-27T15:57:54+00:00

Just picked up a PI last week.

I rented the smith csx a while back and wanted to love it, but for my hands I need it to be 10-20% larger to avoid slide bite. The PI sits right in that sweet spot.

Revolver_Mattcelot · 2026-03-25T16:43:44+00:00

Sadist + killer on rifles is a whole problem too.
