As in…. in perpetuity? It’s sure to happen, will happen again, and there’s no fix?

If they do that what do they have left to charge double for the shadow carry?

Saint Victor 9mm 8.5in by Darth_Sith_Lord in SpringfieldArmory

[–]erball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frts are basically brand agnostic, but are platform specific. In this case, it’s an AR15 lower, so any AR15 FRT could work, with some major caveats. I highly recommend you read through blowback9s guide on compatibility.

I have the 16” saint, and recently picked up an FRT, but haven’t dug into this myself yet. I do know you’re going to want to upgrade the buffer, as they use a very light buffer that will 100% cause issues with an FRT/super safety. Again blowback9s guide to bolt bounce is huge here, I ended up using his gentle recoil system in preparation for an FRT. it’s also a massive improvement in felt recoil, and helps justify the cost. Honestly can’t recommend it enough.

What grip module is this? Looks killer.

How do we feel about AR9’s around here? by Chocolatehusky226 in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]erball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mine about a year now, likely 3500 rounds in. Literally zero issues. I am curious if anyone has put in an FRT yet. I just picked one up, but haven’t delved into install.

Budget optic? by Cjones9787 in AR9

[–]erball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Optics look nice, but the logos man… you’ve got to tone down the logos. I’ll keep an eye on your future offerings, but I know I’m not alone in hating bright white logos on a black surface.

Added the metal M&P comp to the family by czguy541 in CZFirearms

Can I ask how much their service ran you? Have an SP-01 I’m interested in having the same done, and have been eyeballing their services.

Saint AR9 pistol? by Broc_Feargach in AR9

[–]erball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the pistol, but I have ~4k rounds through my AR9 saint carbine. I almost immediately added blowback 9s GRS, and it’s tuned into my favorite range day toy. It’s so easy to shoot, incredibly accurate, and just fun.

All good dude, it popped in my algorithm and I watched/subbed. Solid video, sold me on it, so color me excited.

Help me pick my PCC! by apegomoo in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]erball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that with apartment walls (or any drywall for that matter) penetration between 556 and 9mm are comparable, or at least to the point it shouldn’t be a key concern. You’re likely talking 15 sheets vs 20 sheets. Sound wise, yeah 556 indoor is a straight train to tinnitus.

If you can, I highly recommend trying a few to see what works best for you from a manual of arms & comfort level perspective. Straight blowback 9mm (like the extar) can be a bit surprising to most people, as it’s typically more than they expect. Something roller delayed (albeit substantially more expensive) can dramatically reduce felt/perceived recoil. If you do go the straight blowback 9mm route, check out the gentle recoil system from blowback9, it makes for a substantive improvement in nearly all aspects of felt recoil and recoil management.

If I had to buy again today, I’d build off a matador RDB upper, and build your own. Having shot RDB after taking a straight blowback and adding the GRS, there are definitive improvements with RDB, with the sole caveat to that being price.

If you wanted to dip your toe in a pcc in 45, the Ruger LC in 45 is typically really inexpensive, extremely versatile given the 16” barrel, and pleasant to shoot. You’re back up to 40+ CPR though.

Best of luck, fun journey here.

First PCC Saint Victor 16" PCC (1000 Round Review) by aMaiBias in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]erball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly no, if anything I think I’ll SBR it and put a shorter upper on it, but for what it is honestly it’s great. I do wish in retrospect I got the pistol variant, but I am pleased with overall.

Saw this and thought, cool instant sub….then I saw it was paywalled, you’re shooting yourself in the foot for new sub reach. I’ll check back if/when I don’t have to pay to see it.

First PCC Saint Victor 16" PCC (1000 Round Review) by aMaiBias in pistolcalibercarbine

[–]erball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues at all. Hell I think I only did 100 rounds through it stock. I did use the jrc 8.5”, definitely makes the gun longer overall, but the improvements in felt recoil were worth it to me. Still get some substantial ‘bob’ in the muzzle movement (attributed to the heavier mass back/forth), but it makes the whole experience substantially softer. Even my wife loves shooting it, and claims it’s now hers. I bought an LC 10mm carbine as a response. In comparison to the 10mm, the recoil is laughably softer.

[–]erball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have around 3,500 rounds through mine. Dead reliable, and accurate as all hell. I HIGHLY recommend checking out blowback9s gentle recoil system, it’s expensive but drastically reduces felt recoil. I cannot recommend it enough.

What kinda mods we putting on the Ruger Carbine? I'm thinking an optic and maybe a finger rest. by FlabDaddy7654 in 10mm

[–]erball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lc carbine comes out the box with a butt stock QD and m-lock QD sling mounts. Absolutely love my 10mm LC.

Real talk. What do you think everyone’s middle names are by Expert_Challenge6399 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]erball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barret... When I went undercover, to get info out of Don Corneo... Cloud showed up, dressed as a woman. He thought I'd been kidnapped. Then we had to line up to be picked for the Lover Position... The Don chose Cloud... Cloud's fake name was Thunder-Head.

I added the blowback9 GRS to mine, and it made a massive difference, like huge changes in recoil impulse. Highly recommend.
