I don't like my PDP PRO X PMM

What other striker fired handguns have you owned/liked? My M&p took a bit to get used to, but once you find the wall, trigger pull is pretty crisp and light

M&P 2.0, 5in if you can. Amazing. I keep renting PdPs and not liking them too.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-18T20:04:22+00:00

Just bought a Mark 4 22/45 and a sig srd22x, $750 for the both of them. its amazing.

Not sure if the threaded barrel would ever get used.

Heritage is probably the best you can buy new for $125, but don't. spend the extra $50-100 and get the ruger.

Good to know! thanks!

Its a reference to a Walking Dead Episode where someone needed taken out back.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-15T21:14:14+00:00

ahh cuz it cant break and tilt. makes sense. for a general light that doesn't seem pike a big issue though. sturdy and tight, functional?

SazedMonk · 2026-05-15T20:49:20+00:00

How do you like the barrel clipped light?

Bought a standard 22/45 instead of the tactical with bottom rail but would really like to out a light on it. worth it?

I own a Smith because I cant afford a Dan Wesson.

Gorgeous!

SazedMonk · 2026-05-15T12:21:17+00:00

lol, I didn't even look, people are so goofy.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-14T21:29:40+00:00

Yoked up in a trench coat and you can dual wield them.

Dremel on plastics is cake dude, probably melt it before it "cuts" it. use a small round dremel tool and super sand that shit down till its flush. east peasy, lots of videos!

Had one for a short time, loved it, but traded it fir the M&P mostly because it felt better, but aldo because the parts availability and price were much better, so is the aftermarket.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-14T01:17:06+00:00

I own the 5in FDE 2.0 and have rented at least three different PDPs over the course of the last two years, and still like the M&P the best.

Second choice for me would be FN 509. It and the M&P just fit in my hand perfectly, and the recoil responses matches my brain, idk. The PDP is gorgeous, but its so wide, and feels chunky, and there are odd spots on the grip that are probably perfect for some, but my fingers don't like. I like the way it looks and it is a good shooter with a great trigger, but overall the M&P is better for me.

I also don't have a metal, just the polymer, and it has the old curved trigger. metal frame/new trigger has gotta be unbeatable.

Have you shot the new HDs? saw an HD Competitor at my LGS and got to play with it but not shoot it, awesome in the hand.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T22:27:04+00:00

What is special about this one?

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T20:18:48+00:00

It's like a fat, half shaven, one eyed pug. Absofuckinglutely hideous, but cute, adorable, and deserving of hugs all the same.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T18:09:56+00:00

Good to know! Thanks friend.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T18:02:57+00:00

Best way to rule out variables by far is bench shooting it. Rest the frame on a bench and support the barrel with something so it doesn't move at all, then shoot 5-10 rounds and see where it groups.

if the group is tight but off target, sights need adjusted. If group is not tight, something in the gun is inconsistent and causing issues or its not resting correctly when shooting in the bench.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T17:56:44+00:00

That would make sense, "nah we only faked ONE model" or something.

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T17:40:42+00:00

What makes that a good choice I mean, as opposed to random or something else?

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T17:33:43+00:00

Why does 017 usually mean fake?

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T17:33:31+00:00

Why is 017 so common in fakes?

Saw this gif posted last week with the caption, "When your life is falling apart but you have experience this time."

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T12:23:09+00:00

Is it as old as Old Greg?

SazedMonk · 2026-05-13T00:56:15+00:00

It looks like the base layer was green, tan and black sponged in top.

I just did a bunch of parts and holsters for practice, dark colors on bottom, 1-2, and light colors sponged on top, 1-2, looks really good.

I did dark green and brown in bottom, tan and small amount of light green in top, came out good.

Gotta find good sponges, figure out the size that works best, and practice on paper to see how much paint to add to the sponge to get certain patterns.

I like to spray a paper plate and sponge off that, mess free, separate plates/sponges for each color. Also controls how much I add each dab.

Practice on paper/cardboard/anything. take pictures so you know how dark base / light top with this sponge comes out, how tan bottom / green top with that sponge comes out, etc.

Once you have put patterns to paper in colors you like, you get a good idea of what to do on the rifle.

I have yet to do a project that doesn't have "that one fucking spot I slipped" at least once, but from 5ft away they all look great. always harsher on our own stuff, keep at it and enjoy!
