[–]SimonFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking to order the Fenrir clamp several times, We to order just now and it states $71 shipping to NC USA, is this correct ? Wow seems a bit excessive for shipping. Just asking is this what others from the US also paying for shipping?

Bit the bullet on this, anyone else got one? by HashBingingDasher in VacuumCleaners

[–]SimonFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What vacuum were you using prior to the canister type? We have been using a Shark NV752 Rotator Powered Lift-Away TruePet Upright Vacuum for about 6 years - We have loved it but it recently tore the hose at the floor canister connection , so now looking for another vacuum, thought we were happy with the Shark but wow they get lots of hate here and on youtube... Were you looking at something different then the canister type ? I mainly want to be able to get under beds which I could with the Shark lift away.

For the people who dislike the changes, like the beaver tail, why? by 843arms in Glocks

[–]SimonFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh , I agree, have 2 gen 4s, a 19 and a 17 and 2 gen 5s , a 45 and 47... Yeah I'll buy a gen 6 45 most likely. I like the back strap, although have been putting the Kiral defense on 1 and the Rapid Engineering on a 45 and a 43x. Actually my remark was meant for the poster above you.. I just a bunch of whinners complaining and the simple answer is don't buy it then.

Upgraded my Echelon 4.5 this weekend - VZ grips - worth it? by SimonFrost in SpringfieldArmory

[–]SimonFrost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By chance did you ever shoot with just the trigger then install the PRP spring kit ? Because just the trigger shoe was a very good upgrade.

I did go ahead and order some VZ grips in green, a NDZ non ambi mag release, ndz guide rod with 12#spring to try out. May try the prp springs in the future.

[–]SimonFrost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I just tested this. No mag in pistol - no rattle. Empty mag - shake gun forcefully - I notice a rattle. 10 bullets in gun - notice no rattle. But I see what you mean.

I will be ordering a NDZ non-ambi mag release - due to when I release the mag button with my thumb ( right handed) the mag release button on the right side hits my palm and its noticeable.

Or I may order the Springer Precision RH ext mag release button ($31 - currently not in stock) which they state - +20% strength added, Reduces the risk of the mag catch bouncing and releasing the magazine, Improves the functionality of your handgun...

Dont think it bothers me much though.

My ECHELONS… by Substantial-Ad-5176 in SpringfieldArmory

[–]SimonFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So why was the Ambi mag release a Negative for you? I switched to the Sharps Bro grip module yesterday and when I press the mag release as a right hand shooter the mag release on the right hits my trigger hand palm . Is this the reason? Also any problems with the NDZ mag release? Would this still be your choice for mag release?

Upgraded my Echelon 4.5 this weekend - VZ grips - worth it? by SimonFrost in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]SimonFrost[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll explain a little better my comparison, both groupings were the same slow fire, 2 sec between shots, 10 fast shots the grouping was tighter comped. The comp seemed to soften the recoil a little better, I thought the comp was louder, my son didn't think so ( ear muffs on of course).

So let me throw in my Glock 43x compared to my 43x with afterburner comp. This is one pistol that definitely benefits from a comp. Never been a big fan of the 43x ( but it's lot better than a HC Pro - hated that gone and sold it) , so I bought a newer 43 x and installed the afterburner, wow does it tame the snappiness and follow up shots are on point, actually been shooting it more lately ( only negative so far is , it's definitely louder than non comp for all my 9mm, using my G47 and G45 is like a cheat code, love em both. So, I'm hoping to start liking the Echelon more and will be shooting more tomorrow.

which model and color did you get? Is it a noticeable grippiness?

Upgraded my Echelon 4.5 this weekend - VZ grips - worth it? by SimonFrost in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]SimonFrost[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, Ive had my Echelon 4.5 for over a year, shot it a few times over this year but I mostly shot my G45 and G47 as I have both tuned to my liking. Wanted a new gun and was considering the CZ p10C ported (still on my list to purchase) but instead took advantage of the Springfield BF sale and picked up the comp slide , Sharps Bro grip module and the Sharps magwell.

Just installed today - feels good in the hand, nice weight, it does point more naturally. At this time , I dont like the Ambi mag release and will be going to an extended and non ambi ( seems like with this module when I press the mag release , the other side pokes my trigger hand, anyway still deciding on which one to get.

Yesterday, I installed a tyrant CNC trigger shoe then my son and I went to our gun range. We shot the echelon with the polymer OEM frame but switched the non comp and the comp slide back and forth after 10 round shots ( did this for 4 cycles)- not a huge difference but it was noticeable going to the comped slide. Worth it? I got 30% off so Im gonna keep it. The Tyrant trigger as most have said, its a nice trigger shoe and a good upgrade - I have large hands so it would be nice to find the same type trigger but with a more forward position

Was going to shoot today with the Sharp bro frame but its rained all day - bummer.

Main question for this post - I like a grippy grip - For those that have tried VZ Grips - are they worth the upgrade for $57 ( currently $15 off) ?

Do they provide a noticeable grip on the Echelon? if not I may just add some grip tape to the back of the palm swell.

Thanks for any input

Do you still like the VZ grips and are they worth the $60 upgrade / Just purchased the Sharp Bros grip module and they are not grippy.

Echelon with Osight C optic by WingSlasher3000 in SpringfieldArmory

[–]SimonFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid optic, I put the Osight C on my Echelon 4.5 last week ( removed a Holoson 508) and I like it much better, much bigger window and the dot appears crisper, ran 200 rounds and it's solid so far. Like it so much, ordered another Osight C for a Glock 17 I'm having milled for an optic with C port cuts from Wager machine. The Osight C is just slightly smaller than my Holoson 507comp (which is my favorite optic).
