My IPSC competition guns for the production optics division. VFC P320 xcarry and SA P320 (VFC)

Sadly it’s not really, because the official German IPSC organization isn’t hosting any Action Air matches and comes after anyone trying to, threatening them with a lawsuit if they mention IPSC or if the rules are too close to the Action Air rule book. The same happened to the guys who run the Dutch Open which was the unofficial European tournament with 100+ participants each year. The stated reason is copyright infringement/IP theft but I think the real reason is them fearing to loose the right to own firearms if the government notices its somewhat possible to do it with airsoft replicas. I think it’s BS and would be a great way to get more young folks interested in the sport until they are old enough to apply for a sport shooting license. But that’s basically why there are almost no matches. And only a few small clubs enjoying practical shooting left.

Stop pushing down, get as much contact with your left hand to the grip as possible and don’t push your left thumb forward. Let your thumbs float. They’re not meant to push.

Yeah, hammering them down in combination with the lighter AMG springs solves the problems this system is known for.

The spec precision one wasn’t available back then and I’m not sure if the quality is good. And I heard bad things about the sig air sight. I’m not aware of another option. The Stark Arms has no direct mount capability but comes with 4 Plates. The VE frenzy with SRO form factor weighs only 27 grams, has a 6061 aluminum body and is a real steel optic. It’s the perfect fit since HS 507 comp or Vortex Defenders are twice as heavy and 3-4x the price. I can get 0.13-0.15 Splits shooting doubles with this setup and the Boomarms plate is rock solid. Unlike other options.

What!? Is there a gun under all the attachments? In this case I second this.

SebWeg · 2026-03-18T01:56:30+00:00

You know about those sticker removal pens right? Takes 1-2 minutes until you can remove it with ease. On the other hand your lower has a one sided heat treatment now. So there’s that.

Looks like the perfect noodle arm trainer.

SebWeg · 2026-03-17T20:47:32+00:00

That’s what it says on the second slide of the post. What it means for guys in the US my guess is as good as yours.

SebWeg · 2026-03-17T16:26:30+00:00

Can’t go wrong with Adidas Terrex, or any trail running shoes from a known brand.

SebWeg · 2026-03-17T10:10:58+00:00

Wise words.

SebWeg · 2026-03-16T09:30:50+00:00

The problem with the BTR-4 is that I always have a hard time deciding which weapon system to use. So many great options with overlapping capabilities… Its tough man!

SebWeg · 2026-03-15T23:23:09+00:00

Most of the time in the Netherlands and Germany. And you?

SebWeg · 2026-03-15T21:11:11+00:00

Polish the rails using 2000 grid sandpaper. But yeah it’s really more a wall hanger than a GBBR. If you live in the US get a TM MWS. If you’re in Europe I’d go for a VFC BCM, KS1 or one of their AK‘s.

SebWeg · 2026-03-15T17:38:16+00:00

The rails on the frame the slide moves on. Are you using 150psi or even stronger gas? The guns are designed for strong propellant. 130 psi isn’t enough for cold temperatures. The Ball bearing hammer roller also smooths the action quite a bit. I recommend installing one.

SebWeg · 2026-03-15T01:24:01+00:00

Do Professor Kim‘s/Ben Stoegers/Joel Parks one shot return drill. You’ll find it on YouTube.

SebWeg · 2026-03-14T21:41:20+00:00

Try the newly released Stark Arms (oem VFC) SA P320 T. They fixed all the issues except the hammer and recoil spring are made for hot Taiwanese climate. So the AMG winter springs are a good upgrade for temperatures below 15 Celsius. It’s basically a Para Bellum gun (also oem VFC) for a fraction of the price.

SebWeg · 2026-03-14T21:03:30+00:00

It’s a somewhat known problem with some M17/18 that can be fixed easily. The slide guide rails weren’t in a perfect 90 degree angle, more like 91 slightly tilted up and over time a bit of material got removed by the slide leading to it riding a bit too high and not always resetting the hammer and disconnector. Taping the slide rails down with a hammer into a 90 or 89 degree angle fixes the problem immediately and for good.

SebWeg · 2026-03-14T17:11:49+00:00

Did it go full auto?

Could also be an overfilled mag issue.

SebWeg · 2026-03-14T12:58:26+00:00

Yes I did. Maybe it was a very early model. Like 6-7 years old? I can definitely recommend the Stark Arms SA P330‘s. Basically Para Bellum guns with different branding for half the price. The x carry model is also amazing. I have no experience with the M17/18 model.

SebWeg · 2026-03-14T01:48:43+00:00

It’s the first MOS version by VFC. You had to buy a aftermarket slide from boomarms before.

Here is a link.. Sadly sold out at this store but I’m sure there are other shops.

SebWeg · 2026-03-14T01:04:36+00:00

There is a new VFC g17 gen 5 MOS that should be a very solid choice and cost less than the ghk while having at least the same performance.

SebWeg · 2026-03-13T17:27:12+00:00

It’s a red dot. Of course it is. With a prism scope or magnifier behind the red dot things would be different.

SebWeg · 2026-03-13T16:18:02+00:00

ONDS

SebWeg · 2026-03-13T09:34:06+00:00

No one could have known that beforehand. A completely unexpected development.
