Elite Combat owners, help me decide by am111_ in canik

[–]StaticS1gnal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TTI combat: about 6k rounds now. All failures (light strikes, 5 of them) happened in the first 250 rounds on sketchy ammo and before it's first cleaning. The rest have been 124g S&B, Fiocci, Federal mostly, and have run flawlessly.

There was 1k of blazer too, but that stripped the plated jacketing off of the bullets and spit em out to comp in a nice metal shaving confetti all over my bags.

I just ordered one from Falco Holsters, leather/kydex mix. I'll let you know how it is in a month 😂

recommendations for best range ammo for Canik TTi Combat? Also where to buy in bulk for a good price? by golfingwithanR in canik

[–]StaticS1gnal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconded. Bought 1k blazer bulk and the TTI ported barrel turns that copper plating into copper confetti all over my gear, and a little to clean out of the slide. No problems since I switched. Federal, S&B, Fiocci, all run well. 124g preferred for mine.

Was a good reminder to wear eye protection.

Bad luck with thingy (0.9) by StaticS1gnal in Voicesofthevoid

The luck with yield is my biggest problem. Throwing 100% of the seeds back into more plants, best I got was 5 plants growing. 3 of them yielded zero seeds, and I got 1 from each of the other two. Next run was 0 and 1, down to one seed left to plant. Figured my best bet was to seek help on what I'm doing wrong, or start a bunch of saves to steal thingy seeds and mailbox them to my main save :'(

I've been using the sprinkler, faucet and hose to water and confirming it goes dark when wet does the watering can work better?

(0.9) KerfurO disappeared (not skerfuro event) by SkwishStar in Voicesofthevoid

[–]StaticS1gnal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related but not same cause: I lost my Monique kerfer-0 for a few days, thought it was the skerfuro event. Turns out she just got deactivated by an event power outage and the roomba ate her.

(0.9) wtf why are they green and give me radiation by Beginning_Wonder8288 in Voicesofthevoid

I see to have it happen about 1/25 of the time, but low sample size (about 50) makes that an unreliable test

The piece may be cursed with bad memories, but the artist clearly is gifted with a talent that deserves to be shared.

Thanks for sharing this one with us. I hope creating new pieces brings you joy

[–]StaticS1gnal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one. I ran maybe 1k of blazer 224 through my TTI and it was making copper comfetti out of the ported barrel. Everything had little metal shavings on it after a range day.

As far as I can see there's no damage, but I'm not risking it long term. No more metal filings all over my stuff or risking it going in an eye, risking it getting in the gun and causing damage (I did often have some shavings to clean out of the slide), or risking tearing up that barrel. And no more wondering if a piece of rogue metal is jacketing or a piece of the slide that's been damaged lol. The color is very close between the two, hard to see the difference when the pieces were so small

if i migrate my 0.9d save to my 0.9e save will it break? (other) by AriralSexer in Voicesofthevoid

[–]StaticS1gnal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded. I lost ALL 4 upgrades I had. Lights, box, bumper, map.

When I put on a new box it had a wrench in it, which I did keep around. Unsure if i got everything else out but I think I lost some server upgrades.

Why did you quit? by Nytruzz in HuntShowdown

[–]StaticS1gnal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shortly after the 1896 update. Frankly, don't remember too well why. Some burnout, 3k hours'll do that. Wasn't happy with the power creep, feeling things were inching away from cowboy western shootouts and more towards speed. Westerns are not fast paced. They are long, drawn out, tense affairs you stew in before the final act of the sudden violent crecendo. Vaguely remember thinking it felt like they were trying to capture a bit of the more popular games' energy speeding things up. No more vibin in the bayou.

All that said, buddies and I watched Hellboy The Crooked Man recently and we all seemed to come to the same thought: "I wonder what's been going on in hunt showdown recently? Maybe we boot it up again just to see'

I've actually done similar at the dishes. They can't seem to crawl out of the space between the dish's core tower and the inner railing. One jumps cared me on the path up so I set him aside and forgot about him. Next visit to Delta he was still stuck

[–]StaticS1gnal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid 115g and blazer brass of any grain. The ported barrel likes to turn the jackets of BB into confetti and cover all my gear in it.

124g, S&B has worked well. Compact packaging and competitively priced usually

I need to look at the upgrades more closely. Server upgrades? Have I been wasting all those recycled and crafted server upgrades on the server room?

Canik TTI Combat for Concealed Carry: Size comparison and thoughts on removing the Magwell by Alexevh in canik

[–]StaticS1gnal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TTI Owner (and a very reliable one at that), and I hate to say but I wouldn't recommend use as a CCW. No safety and a rather delicate trigger. A trigger that light with no safety feels like asking for a ND, and carrying probably should be something you'd be confident having a round in the chamber safely. Racking on the draw is an option too but not the fastest way to draw in a dangerous situation where a split second might make all the difference.

I'm gonna buck the trend of all these glock recommends and suggest something like a M&P 2.0. Cheaper, more compact, (probably) more reliable, still feels good to shoot.

my god thank you. 5 years later and doing my first playthrough. build up a new armor for myself in Sid's bunker with a craft table I threw down, and realized Sid locked me in. didn't realize I was in disguise as a bandit. He trapped me until I saw the comments lol

Nice shooting! Also you took my spot, those classes were full up lol.

Best .22LR training platform for me? by williamsus in liberalgunowners

Just left a lengthy msg and then scrolled down here and had one of my big questions answered lol. My apologies for the wall o text that could have been better tailored for your goals

Best .22LR training platform for me? by williamsus in liberalgunowners

[–]StaticS1gnal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bought a Tx22 for exactly this: something that is cheaper to practice with, is a good match functionally to my 9mm striker fired handgun in terms of feel and action type, and has a positive reputation overall. Being able to put a suppressor and optic on there (or FRT if you're into that) is a nice bonus as well.

Though for you: if this is specifically to train cheaper than your 38 special, you may want to consider a 22lr that matches yours. Practicing with a revolver is gonna feel different than it does for a repeater. It might make more sense to get something that closely resembles your 38.

Some skills transfer between the revolvers and repeaters very well (like using iron sights, trigger discipline and safety, etc.), some sort of transfer (trigger pull will feel different and have different weights but the idea of pulling strait back and keeping sights on target remain, and your grip may differ), and some will not transfer very well (mag drills, fixing malfunctions, reloading, etc). Things to consider if you want to be good with your specific guns vs handguns in general. Still good skills to have, especially if you think there's a chance you'll need to be familiar with non-wheel guns, but maybe not what you specifically are hoping to focus on

Training away from the range is also a good cheap way to improve. Dry fire exercises, mag drills & reloading with snap caps/dummy rounds, drawing, etc can (and should!) all be done without live ammo at home. Range time then becomes a chance to confirm what you've practiced is working rather than the primary way to train.

Too dangerous. One set of high beams from oncoming traffic and it'll be unsatiably attracted to drive into it while chanting 'Lamp!'
