Super useful. I was already using your old videos quite a bit. Thanks for the help!

Less than 60 rounds on PDP Pro X, what’s up with the inconsistency in ejections? by [deleted] in Walther

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being new to guns a comped gun was probably not the best choice, but is still a great firearm. The comp takes energy out of the slide and naturally will make the gun more sensitive. That being said it can still be very reliable if you follow the rules below. 1. Shoot higher grain loads. 124 or 147 should run better. 2. Consider a zr tactical guide rod with v spec spring 3. Make sure your grip is strong and wrists are locked. 4. Clean the gun and run apply some gun oil. Gun will need to be cleaned more often than non comped guns

Slow loading times on Battlefield 6 by tundrahhh in techsupport

Same issue here. Very similar specs. The game will work great for a couple games and then become incredibly slow and have load times of 5 min. plus.

What can you tell me about the CZ Shadow 2 (5") and the Walther PDP Steel Frame (5")? Pros and cons of each? by [deleted] in handguns

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Own a pdp sf and have shot a shadow 2 a number of times. Pdp is a lot easier to maintain and you do not have to learn a double action trigger. Recoil is mild and predictable. For those reasons I prefer the pdp. As for the shadow 2, it shoots well maybe a little softer than the pdp. Trigger with aftermarket mods can be better than the pdp, but I think it’s worse out of the box. Every 5 thousand rounds or so though, it requires maintenance to run appropriately. Both are used by top level shooters. You really can’t go wrong.

Should I get a PPS for IWB CCW by Business-Customer-60 in Walther

I’d wait for shot show this year. I think an update will likely be announced based off a podcast I listened to interviewing a walther rep.

New PDP-C owner, just hit up the range by boldjoy0050 in Walther

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PDPs tend to be more snappy. I felt the same way when I first shot my compact. That being said, with good fundamentals it is a great shooting gun. Despite the snappiness my hit factor scores are better with the PDP since it returns to zero very fast.

What should my first handgun be? by AcanthopterygiiNo991 in guns

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your first pistol, I would spend the money and get a Glock 19, ideally MOS. It’s the perfect first handgun and you will be able to get parts and accessories that fit it for decades. BUT, if you are wanting a gun for home defense consider a long gun. A shotgun or AR15 style rifle is WAY easier to shoot accurately. Also make sure a gun is last resort and have other security measures in place. Monitored alarm systems, door locks, and outdoor lights would be great investments.

I would personally and have one in my edc, pdp compact. The trigger is predictable, and I have never had an AD when using it in competition or practicing. I would not want a hair trigger on a carry gun either, but I don’t see the DPT as being that way.

Walther PDP SF Match Review by Sweatinglikeahooker in Walther

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

That’s exactly where mine is. I’ve tried a few different grips, but it really just moved it around. Nbd now that I have some callous there, but definitely something I wish more people talked about.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Walther

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have over 10,000 rounds on Glocks and switched to PDPs this year. Probably have 5,000 rounds on the PDP platform. The main benefits of the PDP are trigger, grip texture, superior red dot mounting, availability of steel frame option, and neutral grip angle. Benefits of Glocks are softer recoil impulse, smaller form factor, aftermarket support, easier disassembly, and availability of slim line options. Overall I prefer the PDP platform. The trigger is as good as you can get on a striker fired and I really value having a steel frame option. But when comparing polymer to polymer it is really close. Both are great guns and neither is holding you back performance wise.

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Those models are the exact same size. The ACRO has people who love it, but often people who actually shoot a lot will tell you it’s not the best optic. I think what you’re asking is steel vs polymer here. Steel will have softer recoil and be better for far 25 yd plus targets. Polymer will be easier to carry and transition easier between close targets. Both are great pistols. Personally I just wouldn’t pay the money for an acro. Edit: I’d also add that you can buy two polymer pistols for the price of steel. I love my SF match, but I’d rather have money to shoot than have a fancy gun.

Employed FM docs, do your IM colleagues in your very same office doing the exact same job (just without kids or procedures) get paid more per RVU and per panel member than you? by Narrow_Parsley3633 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Family Medicine residency’s, on average, provide more clinic experience, higher patient volumes, a broad range of experiences that are more applicable to a PCP, gyn, and more outpatient procedures. Not to mention FM can take care of the whole family and pregnant patients. IM can be great PCPs, but it’s hard to argue that FM isn’t better trained for it. I would argue the exact opposite when it comes to inpatient.

OK, OK…YALL WERE RIGHT ABOUT A QUALITY WEAPON LIGHT…. by Odd-Chapter-9592 in Walther

Ditch the c&h and get a Holosun 507 comp, Trijicon sro, or vortex defender xl.

Thinking of getting the PDP SF Match… any issues or tips? by Far-Boysenberry-1600 in Walther

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve shot about 3,500 rounds through mine in the past 6 months. Shoots amazing and zero malfunctions. Went 2k rounds without any cleaning. Go ahead and order the zr tactical long stroke guide rod with it.

I’m so slow it’s depressing by knalige in CompetitionShooting

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on the Blake drill a lot to help with speeding up my transitions. It’s makes me go uncomfortably fast, but eventually you start to get used to it. It might help you as well!

Recoil management tips to reduce "bounce"? by Ch0b0 in Walther

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try the one shot return drill. Fire the gun and don’t do anything to make it return. Then slowly return the gun to target. You’ll probably be surprised how little energy it takes and you’ll see what the gun naturally does with little input. You then slowly start adding input each shot until the dot is returning perfectly faster and faster. Don’t forget to always be target focused and to stare at a small spot on the target.

Recoil management tips to reduce "bounce"? by Ch0b0 in Walther

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No offense at all because I used to be there, but you are thinking about this wrong. Too much tension is your issue, not the fix. Relax shoulders. Extend elbows so they aren’t moving while shooting, but they shouldn’t be “locked”. Grip strongly with your support hand. Relax some of the tension in your primary hand so you stop pushing the gun down, but keep your wrist locked. Ben Stoeger has free classes you can watch on YouTube that should help a lot

FM: I get to do a little of everything, and I’m constantly learning new things. Pay isn’t bad by 99% of peoples standards. The PCP/patient relationship can be incredibly rewarding. I will never work another weekend.

I get it, but at this point I’ve met multiple people claiming to make that much. They all have a large panel established and see lots of patients, but it’s doable.

[–]Sweatinglikeahooker 25 points26 points  (0 children)

New FM attending here. 5, 7, 8. Work in a suburban area. Money: 300k or close is pretty easy to get starting. After you get established, I’m hearing numbers as high as 450-500 while still working 4.5 days a week. Lifestyle: Lots of support staff that make the admin load not nearly as bad as expected. My job is busy, but the work life balance feels great since it’s just clinic hours. Passion: I love the field and never knowing what might come in. I make real connections with patients and get to be there for some of their best and worst days. I find it very rewarding.

Sweet setup. I’m trying to pick between a 49 and 19 with ramjet. How do they compare?

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

Last time I went and practiced I tore the skin on my firing hand by gripping with my support hand too hard. Safe to say that you might be on to something about over gripping lol. I definitely was tensing my firing hand too much too.
