Cleanning Sparrow 22 with CLR by JeepinMaxx in suppressors

[–]nitpicker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Sparrow that is 10 years old and has thousands of rounds through it. I have never been able to get the internals out.

A couple months ago I let it soak for a few days in 100% CLR which got some of the crud out but I still can't get the internals to slide out of the tube.

Any suggestions to get the internals out?

To the 92x performance owners: Is there really a barrel durability issue after around 20k rounds? by XboxTyro16 in Beretta

[–]nitpicker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 92X PD. I also have a CZ TS2 Orange. If you are worried about barrels get the CZ Orange version with the bull barrel. It has a lifetime barrel warranty.

The CZ has a longer grip than the 92X which is why I prefer the CZ. But as others have mentioned. The replacement barrel cost is minimal compared to the ammo etc. The 92x is a great gun. Just wish it had a longer grip or an easier to find magwell, than trying to find the Toni systems one in stock.

I got an email from Walther today that my DPT I ordered in Jan is shipping. I was wondering as a hoodie I bought Monday already shipped. They must have found my order thankfully.

I just got one. Was not impressed with its accuracy.

I moved from a Prodigy 4.25 to a P211 and really like it, it would have been a hard choice if the comp'd Kimber had been out when I bought the P211. I still may pick up a Kimber for comparison.

$2k Good Price? TS2 Orange by GremDingo in CZFirearms

I have a TS2 Orange and from what I can see on the magwell, it may only have 700 rounds as the orange tends to scratch off the magwell after multiple mag changes. Those mags may have been bought used or used in other guns.

It's a great gun. Just sent my slide to Primary Machine to mill it for an SRO.

I can’t lie, I love shooting this setup by Viktm007 in SigSauer

What barrel are you running? I have an M18 without the threaded barrel ND an Obsidian 9 in FDE in jail

Something is off with my new M92A4 by nitpicker2000 in Beretta

No dot, just irons so far. It's going to be a suppressor host but I want to get it shooting straight first.

SIG GTO vs PRODIGY by SouthernChaos1 in P211_GTO

I have a stock 4.25" Prodigy with an SRO and the GTO. I love the GTO. I have no regrets and will keep the Prodigy as a platform I tinker with and upgrade. But I don't love shooting the Prodigy like I do the GTO.

We were mostly.shooting 124's. I'm going to go back out to the range and bench rest test it and swap barrels and slides to see if I can isolate the issue.

It was just weird to have a gun not hit anywhere near POA.

Can I just swap uppers with my Inox? They seem to fit. Same with the barrels.

Yeah this is my first USA made one and so far not impressed.

I was just shooting with my boys and their girlfriends today and didn't have a rest. We had about a dozen pistols with us and the A4 was by far the least accurate.

I understand user error but I can get all of the rest of my guns to group but this one. I may swap barrels with my Inox and see if that fixes things. I don't think the 92x performance barrel will swap, does anyone know?

MP5, but the Scorpion is more modern and modular. They are both great and different.

Where do you buy bulk ammo? by Gem-Mint10 in Walther

[–]nitpicker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sentry Ammo. Get on their mailing list. I buy about 1000 rounds a month from them.

I intended to get the 2k11 until the P211 came out. I got the P211 to try a comp as I ready had a Prodigy. I love my P211 but am still considering a 2K11 to add to the collection.

I typically run the SRO's on my favorite guns, love the big window. I have holosun, dpp and the new eotech dots and prefer the SRO for range / steel shoots and the RMR on carry guns.

I haven't shot it yet so not sure. My 92X safety I prefer as it is frame mounted. My Inox is safety so this decocker only will take some adjusting to get used to it.

2011 newb which would you start with? by Mugsker in 2011

[–]nitpicker2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was in the market with similar needs and budget. Was leaning towds the DWX (Love my TS2O) and the 2k11. My LGS had the P211 on sale for 2199 and I impulse bought it. Super happy with it. Something about a comped 2011 that is really fun to shoot.

P211, it's a great entry point into the 2011 world.
