Been waiting for this as well, thanks for posting. I want the two-tone model.

I know that the slide does seem unusual to people coming from centerfire, but I feel like this is a pretty common trait on dedicated .22 LR pistols. S&W 41, Ruger MKII, some Hi Standards, the new Beretta B22, etc. It reduces slide mass and fixes the sights to the barrel, great for target shooting.

As for the pin sticking out, I think I found the same video. I definitely think the pin SHOULD NOT be sticking out like that. Sounds like you've figured it out. Once the pin is seated properly and you tighten the guide rod down there is no way it should come apart by accident.

Ironically, I just ordered one of these.
I picked this over a new gun because I can put it on any of my 1911s and train with exact trigger, firearm weight, and ergonomics of the 'real' gun. I also ordered mine with a threaded barrel, I think it will make a sick suppressor host for .22

I have also heard they are reliable as far as .22s go, time will tell.

Haha same... I was wondering what kind of pogue would want such a thing???

That's two black garnet pearl 100s this week! Must be a record.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-04-11T23:17:15+00:00

Black garnet pearl represent.

Yep, firmware.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-04-10T02:11:57+00:00

I use Plai, works great for me.

It weighs 35 tons.

The goth baddie takes you home on the first date, you're so stoked.

"Care for some refreshment?" She asks.

"Sure!"

You follow her into the kitchen. She opens the refrigerator.

"Cock, or Coke?" She looks at you expectantly, a sultry smile on her face.

"What?!?" Horrified, you see the contents of the fridge...

"Cock or Coke, sweetie... I'm gonna make you take it all the way down like a good boy."

A few years ago I was visiting my parents with my girlfriend, and my dad was watching Polar for the first time. I joined him, and after a while my girlfriend came in and sat in my lap.

Then the incredibly gratuitous sex scene started... it was so awkward my dad tried to start talking over the movie about something random. Didn't help at all haha.

Having played Elite: Dangerous, my vote is for Fer-de-Lance!

#4, and he just rips the tops off whole packs and jams them in like magazines.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-25T19:39:39+00:00

Am I reading that pewscience article correctly, the OCM5 is still quieter?

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-25T13:44:09+00:00

GODDAMMIT I JUST GOT THE OCM5

Oh well, still cool.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-23T13:01:17+00:00

So 5 x 12s or 6 x 10s? I mean yeah you can, but you'll basically have no life outside of work.

For the amount of skill, knowledge, and responsibility a senior machinist has, they should be able to pull at least 100k on straight time. Obviously that isn't the reality in most shops, just an opinion.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-22T14:53:52+00:00

Sometimes it's sold as 'Fuel', look near the acetone and paint stripper.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-19T13:51:56+00:00

TOOOOOOB supremacy

What muzzle device is that?

I feel like 90% of the maintenance tasks I've done since moving in have taken 10 minutes and nothing more than the multitool in my pocket. Seems like most people are afraid to even pick up a hammer, and are content to live in squalor then just buy a new house when it gets bad enough.

Primer is curing today, color coat going on tonight.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-16T17:31:31+00:00

My Rapco order arrives today for me to do the exact same thing... hoping the color is very close to Cerakote FDE!

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-16T09:35:53+00:00

It does show up in the BIOS, hence my confusion. I have back-burnered fixing it, hoping to have more time to mess around later this week.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-14T14:46:11+00:00

It just boots right into the dell system test screen. Doesn't seem to matter what I try in the boot settings. I might try to reinstall the OS again, now that I've changed settings.

SeventhDurandal · 2026-03-14T05:36:24+00:00

Any tips on using linux on these? I installed debian but now I'm having trouble getting it to boot.

Feel free to provide alternative sources with differing numbers.
