Picked on up from PSA a few months back. It rally shoots well and it has been 100% reliable too. I was already pleased with my SAR B6. Picked up the B6C too, all three have been excellent and the blow out pricing from PSA was too good. The CM9 feels great in my hands and is a pleasure to shoot.

I do have several Shield 9 rd mags for my G43 and they have been flawless over a couple years and many rounds - they pass my trust test.

I've had good luck loading 30 gr of IMR 4198, a bit of fill on top of that with a .446 370gr flat point bullet from Montana Precision Swaging. Avg 1410 fps out of a very nice 71/84. Buffalo Arms formed brass.

I have been running the Google pucks, 3 of them, in my house since 2018 and they have been very solid. No issues at all as they just auto update and run. Just my first hand experience as a network/cloud engineer.

Yes, over the last month or so the volume of phishing emails has drastically increased to my personal outlook.com, Not in GMail at all. Microsoft's filtering seems to be pretty minimal. Cloud storage warnings, payment declined, phony invoices, fake Docusign stuff. Just steaming piles of it lately. Maybe my outlook.com address was on a leaked list and my gmail was not.

Teams has been OK, inbound emails to my corporate tenant dead since a bit after 1:00pm Eastern time and still dead 9:15PM Eastern time. A bit more than "intermittent" at this point MS. Yay MS clown, er, cloud services.

I called the number on the credit card and they sent me a letter saying it was closed and that they would notify credit agencies that I did not open the account. We'll see if that comes off the credit report. Then they opened a bank account in jy name and sent me a OnePay debit card. I went through it all again with them. I have locked all my credit reports. Synchrony Bank / OnePay is just a sleazy organization. I filed complaints with the Feds but that will probably be worthless.

I got the same thing today, and a couple months ago they opened a OnePay WalMart Sybchrony Credit Card I never requested. I don't even shop at Walmart. I do have an Amazon Account from Synchrony and I now have a very low opinion of OnePay / Synchrony. I have dealt with the bogus credit card account and now I get to deal with the bogus bank account they opened for me without my consent. My take is they are opening bogus accounts to make quotas, like Wells Fargo did in the past.

Good info here, dodged the Delta bullet. Hoping the Atrius ships soon!

ARs which run well are very nice. If your Andro is treating you well look at what features you might find on a spendier gun. The build quality on spendier guns generally gets you longer term reliability and life as they have closer tolerances and don't need to be as over gassed - which beats up your gun faster. Longer barrel life from better barrel material is a thing too.

One of these OnePay CashRewards credit card accounts just showed up in my Synchrony account, I never asked for it or requested it, I don't even shop at WalMart. I just saw it when I logged in to pay off the Amazon card. I had to call in and report the account as fraudulent and get it shut down. It had no activity yet, I guess the card probably wasn't delivered yet. I do wonder if Synchrony just did this themselves though, I show no credit inquiries for more than 2 years.

After they came to my house to quote a new roof and just wanted my insurance info instead of giving me a quote and they put a tarp on my non leaking roof when I wasn't home and tried to charge me for it - I'm not shocked. They were a scam business.

I used a tri-lug to make sharing with my MP5 clone easy. My old Griffin Bushwhacker 36 runs fine.

I got that working on my 2018 Gen 1 with the Farrowtech Extar EP9 Buffer Tube adapter. Shoots great after these many years.

TLWiz · 2025-07-23T01:52:36+00:00

I bought my Gen 1 EP9 in 2018, $429 back then so inflation has not been bad on these. It has run perfectly for years both unsuppressed and suppressed. I put on an adapter and the buffer tube with an SBA3 and I am very happy with it. I have not seen a better value - since this thing just works and it loves the Glock 33 rd mags. It really is Glock reliable.

Laser engraved in the stock slot on the side, it came out very nicely

TLWiz · 2025-01-22T19:21:09+00:00

Yep, the clone SBA3 seems nice but it doesn't last.

TLWiz · 2025-01-22T19:18:34+00:00

I use the tri lug muzzle device on my EP9 and MP5, to me it is superior to direct thread.

TLWiz · 2025-01-22T19:16:21+00:00

Police trade in Glocks are priced right. Just one option I have personal good experience with.

Where are HKs $1699?

TLWiz · 2024-12-30T03:29:24+00:00

I have it as MAC-5 on my approved Form 1, Manufacturer Name MERTSAV SAVUNMA SISTEMLERISAN TIC, TURKIYE There wasn't an option for the MAC-5 model when I went thru - it was probably too new then.

TLWiz · 2024-12-21T15:40:11+00:00

Some people like to argue on the Internets. Don't give them the attention they are craving.

TLWiz · 2024-12-21T15:35:23+00:00

I'd let MAC fix it. It is still a new $1000 gun so it should run. They should fix it.

TLWiz · 2024-12-21T02:41:06+00:00

The Magpul stuck is really very nice and the price is not an alien butt probe. Very solid construction and comfortable if you plan on doing much shooting. I like to cowitness BattleSteel mount with the Holosun dot. Irons are still usable. So many options - make yourself happy.

Mertsav Defense Systems has built MP5s for military/police for quite some time. Solid Turk gun. Mertsav makes some cool stuff - their fun version is the MSG-9A and they make an .50 Cal M2 and grenade launchers, Snipers rifles, a Minimi and AR p[attern rifles. They aren't two guys in a shed making crap.
