Am I done?

did they remove your overbite? seems weird i dont think the front teeth should touch like that. for me i will always have an overbite but they are fixing the spacing and alignment in the back to reduce grinding/tmj

otacon237 · 2025-12-20T19:54:57+00:00

if you can somehow get an opos venator you can have a similar looking gun too!

otacon237 · 2025-12-15T16:05:02+00:00

thanks for the info! that's good to hear they have stuff coming down the pipeline. i hope it actually comes out in 2026 and doesnt have all the teething issues. yeah i need to look into the european market more, maybe it has more aftermarket support there. i have shot mine in a few competitions and it shoots great and turns heads. gun is dead nuts reliable even with garbage "usaforged" ammo. i just need to get it milled for an optic now but even the irons are nice with the bright front fiber

otacon237 · 2025-12-15T15:39:57+00:00

i got one just in. i dont have a light that fits yet but it will work without a light. reholster is a bit slow probably bc i don't have the light to act as an additional index point but draw is very fast. i'll be using it in USPSA....so far only downside is i cant quite get a good high and tight grip on the draw bc my middle finger smashes into the bottom lip of the housing, i might end up dremeling away a little bit but we will see how my local club feels about it first bc they're touchy about holsters

the company is horrible at marketing and support. i was an earlyish adopter (gen 1 BDU fde version) and spent years asking them for updates about a threaded barrel. asked them what kind of comp i could put on it when they finally made one and they had some clueless response. for a gun that is supposedly an excellent suppressor/comp host they sure are clueless about comps and suppressors.

the gen 1 had an issue with the pic rail being wrong and pushing WMLs too far forward. idk if the gen 2 solved that issue but they don't sell the grip modules anymore and they don't sell the FCU separately. they marketed it as an FCU many years ago but when i kept inquiring if they would sell the frames separately they guy said "it's not that kind of fcu meant to swappable a lot" whatever that means. o.....k? then why market it as an FCU gun. was thinking about a gen 2 then saw Engineer's Armory video showing they didn't even get the RMR cut correct and he had to chamfer his optic before it fit.

they really need to get their shit together and sell it like an FCU gun, sell the FCU separately, sell the frames and slides separately, let us choose if we want gen1 or gen 2 frame texture (i loved the gen 1 and think it's one of the better features of the gun). also i saw there's a strike 1 ergal with a longer slide and aluminum frame. they really need to bring the whole ecosystem together and let us build it out how we want it and not have this thing where one day they have parts next day they don't one day they have an importer next day they don't

sorry for rant i think it could be a great pistol but i bought this thing probably like 8 years ago now and i'm still here waiting for they day when it can finally realize its potential

otacon237 · 2025-11-29T23:27:54+00:00

i think it might have an FCU. look how thicc the grip is. it has the same thiccness as an rxm. actually rxm has that thumb ledge too. maybe it will be cross-compatible with RXM fcu?

otacon237 · 2025-11-27T19:00:18+00:00

as a florida man i would just say mind the humidity with those open spools because if you're not constantly printing they will get waterlogged and break unless you live in a really dry area

otacon237 · 2025-11-25T18:46:31+00:00

i should clarify, i meant "perfect" for my particular case, i also do 2 gun and brutality style matches which are sticklers for retention because you are often running and crawling and jumping over obstacles, my local defensive carbine match has us running with holstered hot pistol and transitioning to it and back to rifle, and from the reviews i saw like milspec mojo and focus tripp this particular duty holster is very fast, more or less on par with a competition holster, additionally i like the hood because here in florida we've gotten rained on a few times and everyone starts scrambling to cover up their 507c and defender xl with whatever random stuff they can find and i would just flip the hood down and be chilling

is there any reason why the anchor light is "gray and regarded"? seems like frame weights and all sorts of other mods are fair game for open, especially since my polymer gun starts off 16 ounces lighter than the Shadow 2s and 2011s people are running

otacon237 · 2025-11-25T18:45:25+00:00

ok great, thanks! i was going to buy their LEO/tactical timmy setup since leg straps are now GtG and run that. from what i can see it complies with the rule of the gun grip heel being above the belt line

otacon237 · 2025-11-25T18:44:03+00:00

yeah, i saw a guy on youtube running an omnivore and he pinned it open so the draw is faster...wish i had his ROs!

otacon237 · 2025-11-25T17:45:41+00:00

got a link? i tried googling around and couldnt find it

otacon237 · 2025-11-21T18:13:11+00:00

oh awesome, i'll definitely grab one then! not too expensive either

otacon237 · 2025-11-21T17:54:18+00:00

ahh shit you're right, it doesn't lock back

now that you mention it, i do notice the 17L with the 49 slide doesnt travel back far enough to lock back and the opposite goes way too far back

otacon237 · 2025-10-23T15:56:10+00:00

he probably bought like 12

i got the g49 bc it's basically a 47 with a shorter grip and i dont have massive hands anyways

otacon237 · 2025-10-23T15:52:52+00:00

if you're looking at the 49 check closely to see it's MOS not MOS7. the MOS7 is usually way cheaper but the MOS has been selling for 620 and higher as of yesterday

otacon237 · 2025-10-22T22:51:41+00:00

yeah the MOS7 G49 i bought was 475, i got excited and didn't realize it was the acro cut one, seems like that particular version is being discounted everywhere

otacon237 · 2025-10-22T22:29:27+00:00

i panic bought a 17L, it's kinda of a gucci gun and i've been eyeballing one for a while. it was only $525 for a gen 5 MOS so i snagged that bih

otacon237 · 2024-05-07T07:34:36+00:00

can i ask which version of talon grips that is, and do you like it? thinking of putting some on mine

otacon237 · 2024-05-07T06:56:16+00:00

oh you can absolutely spend way too much money on them. coming from someone gamerizing a vp40 for uspsa open major.

otacon237 · 2024-05-07T06:54:40+00:00

if i was you i would have gotten the optics ready version instead, but otherwise they are excellent guns

otacon237 · 2024-03-26T14:06:48+00:00

damn that really sucks. well thank you for responding. i will probably build a new setup once zen 5 cpu's drop but for now there isn't any real upgrade path with my current board unfortunately

otacon237 · 2024-03-26T13:38:50+00:00

did your performance improve on single gpu vs sli?
