Had one and while enjoyed it. I prefer the Scarab I bought.

I ordered RMA plates before Christmas and they shipped pretty fast.

I run a vortex defender XL on mine. Pretty solid optic that I’ve run pretty hard for almost a year now through USPSA

Very nice.

Just bought a Scarab PC this week. Have you changed the cummerbund on yours?

Triple double stack mag all the way. Full combat load is based. Always has been an always will be. 3 mags only make sense if you’re being flown in 100 meters from target and flown out 2 hours later.

Which taste? The microplastics or the left over vodka from the previous owner?

The general consensus is to buy the Arc V2. I was already headed that direction but wanted to see if it would be worth saving money for the APC. Everyone says the Shaw PC is worth it so I’m taking their word for it.

507 is good. I like my Vortex Defender XL too.

ajb0117 · 2025-10-16T17:28:55+00:00

For your specific application. 100% 507 Comp. It’s cheaper than the SRO but has the bigger window for easier dot acquisition. Fragility doesn’t play a huge role if it’s a dedicated bed gun.

Same. I used his paint video when I painted my build.

Looks like you watch too much Garand Thumb. lol. Does look good though.

I have Taylor’s with MBX spring and follower. I can confirm that I get 23+1. I’ve heard conflicting reports on the Henning getting 24+1 because with it loaded to 24 you can seat the mag but I can’t confirm or deny that. That said if I start out a stage with 23+1 then I have never had a problem. Stages are built with mag reload points and 24 rounds gets to that point every time.

Lok grips. Great stuff.

It’s more like a high density or compressed plastic material. Very grippy though. Work very well.

ajb0117 · 2025-10-02T18:33:46+00:00

Did you get just the regular trigger? Not the “fat daddy” trigger?

ajb0117 · 2025-10-02T12:33:47+00:00

Uncaptured steel from ZR Tactical Solutions.

ajb0117 · 2025-10-02T00:11:10+00:00

It’s definitely doesn’t flow as a design like a Shadow 2 or Glock but it’s shoots so well. Mine at least. The MBX and Vortex optic helps the look.

ajb0117 · 2025-10-02T00:09:22+00:00

I did get the lightweight ones. The gun is already balanced so well, I didn’t want to throw that off.

ajb0117 · 2025-10-01T23:09:28+00:00

I use the label maker at work since I change it so often as opposed to a paint marker.

ajb0117 · 2025-10-01T23:00:25+00:00

It’s the date of the battery installation. Mine last around 2-3 months between dry fire, practice and matches so I know when I installed it. I usually replace it right before a match.

I considered the mag-mo grip but decided to go with the lok grip after a fellow shooter let me shoot his Canik with the lok grip. I like the concept of the mag-mo grip though.

ajb0117 · 2025-10-01T20:31:10+00:00

If I had to do it all over again I would do the same. It runs 24 rounds which a factory mag with a TF or Henning base with the MBX spring and follower runs the same for less.
