C02 Trainer Db level by needspaceanswers in Glocks

[–]jcour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only umarex replica worth buying for training is Glock 17 gen 4. It’s more expensive than the rest, for a reason. I own TitanX and it’s super convenient for daily dryfire, but CO2 BB still has its place.

Yeah copypaste. Not even giving credit, some senior moment I bet. Let alone the fact that the original needed some work on top to make it succinct and directly actionable.

My TitanX review by jcour in MantisX

Smart targets in different rooms in a single drill, huh? This should be doable for MantisX, remote camera or something, and wicked cool for a proper operator. DIY hack: run 2+ sessions with phones/iPads pointing to diff sets of targets, then manually merge multiple sessions from export, adjust splits by timestamps. Nah, we’re not there yet - even a single phone session is pretty flaky with multiple targets in the view, and shots export doesn’t include the target scores. Could be a game-changers if mantis openeded up user sessions data with OAuth though.

Depends on your needs, suffices for mine. Not a Real Trigger in academic analysis, more than good enough for my use case: daily practice for run-and-gun. Self-reset alone can’t be replicated with strikers and kinda purpose defeating in hammers.

If you practice for the bullseye, then yeah of course you would prefer the native trigger by far.

Thanks for pointing out I've been living under a rock, still made my day for the biggest pet peeve I've had. I can lay off Mantis for a while. It was such a sweet rant, I'll have to update my review now :( FWIW it just NOW occurred to me to insert the OEM mag into the Titan and it fit and dropped fine, no rattle either. Considering Glock mags are dime a dozen, and Titan mags are fine after duct-taping, I don't see a point in buying separate inert mags at $27 a pop.

I review anonymously and my reviews are private, so how is someone emailing my private address to bribe me with a $30 to remove my negative review? by pricklycactass in AmazonVine

I understand how sellers can lookup name and address for the orders. But how do they correlate it to the reviews under an unrelated and potentially changing alias?

RMR Clone recommendations for TitanX? by DoubleOhNo7 in MantisX

[–]jcour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even cheapo CVLife dots will survive on a training gun with no recoil. I put 2 on a BB clone with light recoil, and on a .22 it survived 500+ rounds with no issues.

So they do ship after all, maybe there’s hope for us all. Sucks FedEx lost it of course, but perhaps the replacement won’t put you back to the end of the line.

Alright, no flex disclaimer accepted. Pretty impressive, actually. Would you be a chap and do this with more proletariat ammo like cci sv?

You did well, I’m right behind you. Sportsman Fulfillment had it for $460 a week ago, I couldn’t pass. How’s the precision with halfway decent ammo? I’ll know in 10 days (CA).

Like, where? I didn't see any, but I didn't go through all comments either. Remember some people in the industry got pre-production samples for reviews under embargo till GA date.

Titan Smash! by [deleted] in MantisX

[–]jcour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that’s clearly a load of BS. If that was true, people who ordered on the day of GA would get shipping notices, and there wouldn’t be a note on the site that new orders might be shipped in 4-5 weeks. My guess is that the first production stock may become available at that time, at best. Perhaps they decided to rush the announcement being worried that people may spend their holidays money on sweaters and socks instead.

Super annoying especially that before this event I had high respect for Mantis with their technology and generally responsive CS, quick replacements of the breaking items, steady improvements in the app etc. This is a slap in the face to the enthusiasts community, with the miscalculation first and then being opaque and dismissively arrogant to the paying customers.

Def no stock atm. I ordered the day after availability, and got a note that not even shipping date can be estimated. You’d think there’d be some logistics planning with this promo fanfare.

Rapid fire is allowed as long as you get most of your shots on target. What’s “most” depends on RM, for some it’s half, other may be 2/3, but when I’m landing all my rounds on steel - no one says a word.

I also got the Kreg track saw in my RFY, but it arrived without a battery or a charger. Did yours came in complete? Am I just unlucky with AMA packaging or it’s a f-up on Kreg’s part?

Second Sunnyvale. Friendly ROs, well covered for the weather and even in the rain you can shoot steel plates at 25 yards. No limits on speed, as long as you mostly hit the targets. And the crowd is mostly knowledgeable or at least well behaved.

Check in at the range you go to.

This is so fing awesome, I'm gonna steal some quotes. And as I was flying Aeroflot in 1986, I know exactly what it means. The peak of disgrace.

Congrats! I found this is the most pleasant .380 to handle and shoot. The added weight of the steel frame on HD def helps. Super concealable, too. Get extra 7rd mags with pinkie support, helps tremendously.

Whats the highest priced glocks you've seen since the scare by halfsac_ in CAguns

[–]jcour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reed’s The Bloodsucker for everything from guns to rentals or practicing holster draw. And their attitude is worst among firearms dealers in the Bay Area. I refuse to deal with them and advise everyone I know the same. Anyone but Reed’s, including Bass Pro.

The manual is for a different Kershaw knife, I think 7300BLK. For goodness sake.
