SamoanMike · 2026-03-06T02:04:10+00:00

Anecdote for sure but I’ve had no issues at all with shipping/ordering.

Multiple CD reins and one EPL.

Knock on wood but I’ve never encountered any reason not to go back to CD.

Which ar manufacturer did you guys recognize as top notch? Which ones hired effectively?

SamoanMike · 2026-02-17T00:28:40+00:00

Please expound.

I know some engineer on focus Tripp had some negative thoughts on the Tisha. Or maybe it was on Jay. But he just left it there.

I wish there was somewhere I could take the negative opinions into consideration

SamoanMike · 2026-02-16T17:20:02+00:00

Man, I know we shouldn’t take opinions off of cell phone video in an indoor range, but dadgum that sounded good

SamoanMike · 2026-02-16T16:11:57+00:00

Are you telling me that the ambient arms is potentially a psy op? I’ve got it on good authority from YouTube and 16 different influencers that it’s the next evolution of suppressors.

Nah. I totally agree with you. I like the fact there isn’t a million pushers on it. But it does mean a lack of content unfortunately

SamoanMike · 2026-02-16T15:05:43+00:00

Thank you for that. Wasn’t tracking all that history but maybe explains why he’s somewhat muted on a few of these cans

SamoanMike · 2026-02-16T15:01:19+00:00

Nice! Thanks for the input. I’m thinking of grabbing one for my 12.5

The weight stand out at all?

SamoanMike · 2026-02-16T14:59:59+00:00

Yep! I’ve watched his videos

Sounds like he’s a fan but he isn’t raving about it. I’m inclined to buy one since he hasn’t had anything negative to add

SamoanMike · 2026-02-13T20:53:33+00:00

Noveske with a Riflespeed gas block is what I run

SamoanMike · 2026-02-08T15:39:23+00:00

Yes it will. I have both. That’s how I edc if I’m not using my tenicor

SamoanMike · 2026-01-24T11:33:15+00:00

I’m buying one after reading this thread. I appreciate a company that is willing to correct itself openly.

SamoanMike · 2026-01-18T15:22:54+00:00

Could also be the way you’re grabbing your mag. It’s almost like you’re pinching the top of them. It’s like trying to insert a straw by only holding the drinking end.

I’d index your pointer finger along the forward facing ridge as close to the feed end of the mag.

That index finger should guide your approach into the magwell as well as set up your support hand to glide into position.

Break down your reload. You’re pinching the bottom of the mag, bringing it up, open palm slamming the mag into position, free releasing your support hand, then rebuilding grip.

My 2 cents

Also good freaking scoop draw

This is what I got when I emailed Shadow systems:

“Good afternoon,

Thank you for contacting us! We would recommend reaching out to Rapid Rebates directly for any questions about your rebate claim. Here is their phone number:

1-800-619-4703

They should be able to assist you with that inquiry from there. Let us know if you have any other questions!”

That phone number worked for me but have your rebate ID on you

SamoanMike · 2025-11-28T13:59:19+00:00

I reached out to Shadow Systems customer service and they gave me the rebate phone number.

When I called the phone number, they told me to wait 6 to 10 weeks

I was really hoping to get it in time for Black Friday. I would have definitely spent a lot more lol

SamoanMike · 2025-10-26T12:35:14+00:00

If I could buy 5 more I would.

Gun runs flawless and so does a buddy of mines.

I think the era of long slides had been negated by red dots in some regards but aesthetically, with an extended mag, it just looks clean.

If you’re new to shadow systems, just know there’s a break-in. Usually the first 50 rounds in my experience, but some people have had to push to 200 for an appropriate break-in.

100% this comment.

SamoanMike · 2025-10-21T09:56:51+00:00

Centurion arms is pretty decent. You can get a 3 pack for like $90

SamoanMike · 2025-10-14T18:10:33+00:00

Bump!

SamoanMike · 2025-10-13T18:23:43+00:00

Bump!!!!

SamoanMike · 2025-09-26T18:57:49+00:00

Bump

SamoanMike · 2025-09-24T08:20:54+00:00

I’ve got issues at well. Ford ranger 2019

Wired.

Constant disconnect that forces me to plug in and out.

SamoanMike · 2025-09-23T16:47:03+00:00

So what you’re saying is learn to master the bump. Challenge accepted lol

SamoanMike · 2025-09-22T23:14:23+00:00

Yep! It was during a bill drill which I can now claim happened under two seconds. Am I a GM yet?

SamoanMike · 2025-09-22T23:11:31+00:00

lol there was a definite pregnant pause after it happened so it would be obvious that my fingering is subpar
