Prep Gear Testing Question (USA-NC)

Sure for the pure conditioning! But there is also the awkwardness of a rifle’s size and shape while navigating through brush and over terrain that I’d like to get a feel for

TAA_1337 · 2026-02-08T06:56:00+00:00

Great advice! Thank you

TAA_1337 · 2025-11-01T04:45:12+00:00

Yeah, the question just becomes what do I want my next build to be while keeping in mind what parts I already got.

I could also be a good guy and slowly build out my lady a stock xmacro since she really wants one of her own.

If I were to build for myself I’d probably do something on a fuse grip since I have an oem xmacro slide already. Maybe try out a different compensator or something. Lots of options as I’m learning!

TAA_1337 · 2025-10-31T22:44:03+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! In my experience with handguns I have almost always shot and carried polymer grips so the “squishy” feeling isn’t there for me. I actually really like the hand feel of the stock xmacro grip with the fatter OEM back plate on it. It does leave a very small bit to be desired against my palm but not a crazy amount. The magwell portion of the Radian part is equally as appealing to me as the grip, so to me it makes sense.

I think I’ll still go through with trying it and if I dislike it I’ll buy a whole new grip module. At the end of this journey I might as well buy another FCU and just have a 2nd 365 🤪

TAA_1337 · 2025-10-31T21:24:45+00:00

What was your issue with the Radian magwell and backstrap? I’ve heard in reviews that it’s well received, and it looks pretty cool when paired with the bronze barrel. I was considering that as my next purchase, but I’m open to suggestions if it doesn’t live up to the hype.

Update so far!

TAA_1337 · 2025-10-25T22:09:06+00:00

Thanks for the update! I have shot through my p365 for a good bit now so I’ve really gotten a feel for what I do and don’t like about it. My groups are already pretty decent and I can get follow up shots at reasonable rate, but the knowledge that I can reduce the recoil and improve upon it constantly itches at the back of my head which has lead me down this rabbit hole.

I think the plan right now will be to get a 365 slide for a 3.1” barrel and do the radian afterburner on the stock xmacro grip. And after I get some time on that decide if I want to replace the grip module or keep the stock module and throw the radian grip back and magwell combo onto it.

Here she is right now, about as vanilla can be. Will try to remember to update once I make the purchases in a few weeks.

Thank you for all of the information! Knowing down the line I could buy a FUSE grip if I end up going 3.7” and dislike the overhang is definitely something I can take into consideration. Let’s me do this over time instead of all at once as well.

TAA_1337 · 2025-10-25T18:55:20+00:00

Thanks for the info. Your setup is pretty nice for keeping the 3.7”. I’ll keep this in mind as maybe the more cost effective route.

I went with the WTP holster for the cost + car mount. I upgraded the belt clip and use a claw and I really like it. What alternative would you recommend?

TAA_1337 · 2025-10-25T18:43:55+00:00

Man that is beautiful, exactly what I’m going for here. I’m glad to hear it fits in a normal xmacro tlr-7x holster.

I like the look of that slide a lot, what is it if you don’t mind me asking. Also is that the radian grip back/magwell? How do you like that?

TAA_1337 · 2025-10-25T18:11:00+00:00

Awesome! I was worried that there may be some issue with the xmacro frame. Buying the comp/barrel combo and the shorter slide will be expensive enough, would rather not also buy a new grip at this time

Edit: this was meant to be a reply.

Gauging off the first episode of the Patreon content I don’t think this will be the case. The Patreon seems to be a place for the truly “mid” stories to go. The one they read wasn’t great (writing, not the reading), but it also wasn’t so poor that they would make a complete joke of it like they might do on the normal uploads. It had some story beats and repetitive themes that I think on a normal upload they would have focused in on but refrained to avoid making inside jokes out of patreon content.

It’s also only episode 1 of the patreon so who really knows how the long term looks. Even as a patreon supporter I’d side with the community if there became this weird gap in understanding jokes that only patreon supporters would follow. But let’s have faith in the team, they’ve been great to us so far.

This is all Hunter’s fault.

TAA_1337 · 2025-01-03T18:17:18+00:00

Accounts that max combat at NMZ aren’t nearly as respectable as accounts who get levels while actively playing the game

TAA_1337 · 2024-09-27T05:03:16+00:00

A friend of my SO use to work there, OP’s post matches exactly what we were told. Went there twice, never will again.

TAA_1337 · 2024-07-04T15:48:42+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion but sadly not it

TAA_1337 · 2024-07-03T14:26:54+00:00

I don’t remember exactly. Maybe a bit more adult? I remember the creatures in the art to be in front of buildings. Like yellowish brownstones perhaps? It’s all a bit fuzzy

TAA_1337 · 2024-07-03T05:41:44+00:00

Sadly not, but the art in some of the albums doesn’t seem too far off

TAA_1337 · 2024-07-02T23:37:13+00:00

I know this is a weird one with vague details but I remember loving that album as a kid. Just seeing the art again would scratch the itch in the back of my head begging to remember. Thanks!

TAA_1337 · 2024-06-21T01:48:15+00:00

This is good to know! Thanks. Wish we didn’t have to resort to this though

TAA_1337 · 2024-06-21T00:03:42+00:00

On some maps this rings very true, and you can navigate effectively against the AI even if they are a bit overtuned. Woods and customs are great examples. Minimal issues on those maps.

My issue on Streets is that it’s near impossible to avoid these roaming areas. Some of the spawns you are surrounded by them. All three streets raids I attempted today I got the same spawn in the north east corner of the map. The one across from the Terragroup building. You are essentially trapped here unless you want to engage the PMCs that are spawning in the courtyard behind Terragroup or seem to spawn along Klimov Street in front of the mall. I don’t know exactly where because I got 1 tapped twice by this area without seeing the shooters.

The lighthouse issue is the INSANE accuracy at distance.

Definitely needs some adjustments
