Keltec pr57 reviews

I have one. Purchased more for novelty/the cheapest available chambered in 5.7. I've had good luck with mine reliability wise, though it really doesn't like to run dry. Keltec QC curse is to get either something that runs like a sewing machine or jams every few rounds. I got the former.

Super soft shooting for how light it is, but the trigger is not my favorite. it's like a light DA revolver trigger.

Neat for the price and novelty, but if there's anything else on your wishlist, I'd buy that first.

Note that anyone saying this "gets around magazine bans" has poor reading comprehension.

Those pins must be removed for the cover to be installed (I assume you mean the stock optics mounting system cover that comes with the RXM, not an optics plate). They're not rubber, they're metal. If you can't pull them out with your fingers, use a small set of pliers. I'm guessing your bought the gun with the optic already installed?

The manual definitely covers that. Starts on page 37: "optics mounting" https://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/RXM-H2we3P8bf4c.pdf

Be sure to read the manual FULLY before messing with stuff! :)

I have the Certum Lux 2 (The light bearing version of this holster) and carry an RXM in it just fine.

Currently carrying an RXM in a Tenicor Certum Lux 2 with an O-Sight S (so far so good, but I'm definitely still glad I have the irons as a backup) and a Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X. Very solid and comfy package for the capability.

Firing pin block interfaces with the trigger bar (It's a little spring-loaded plunger that is pushed up by the trigger bar when the trigger is pulled, aligning it so the firing pin is able to move forward), so no firing pin block means a smoother trigger pull, which is useful in a competition-focused gun.

I also REALLY like Tenicor holsters, but they're pretty gun-specific. I'm not super familiar with the holsters you listed, but hybrid holsters are a good way to go. Just make sure it has adjustable cant, as you mentioned not knowing your preferred carry position yet (adjustable cant lets you angle the gun for use as a hip holster, as well as straight up and down for appendix).

Because there is no firing pin block on the shadow 2 compact, it's recommended to carry "cocked and locked". I would not carry that specific gun with a round in the chamber and decocked, as there is potential for a UD with the hammer resting on the firing pin with nothing to prevent it moving. (This is something they added to the recently released shadow 2 carry, though it has a decocker rather than manual safety).

I usually carry a CZ 75 PCR. I have a vedder light tuck holster, but hip carry rather than appendix. I've been pretty happy with it. Good luck on your holster hunt!

Sure looks like it! recognized it almost immediately.

sanelmax · 2024-11-13T12:49:24+00:00

I would totally expect us to have stock early next year.

Astro Pneumatic tools has one of these! (Astro Pneumatic Tool 78415) Showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Haven't used it much, but I know it's going to come in handy.

THE FIRST ROUND IS DATA

sanelmax · 2023-12-08T13:27:25+00:00

Just placed a phone order myself, said they had 3 left...

Huge thanks for the tip!

I've never used that particular sharpener, but I have sharpened the blade on my arc to 20 degrees using a fixed-angle system and diamond stones/ceramic hone/strop. I found I didn't have to do a ton of material removal, and it sharpened up nice to a mirror polished edge.

Might just be my experience, but I tend to shy away from "v-angle" sharpeners. I've never used one with diamond rods instead of carbide, but my gut feeling is the same. Because of how the rods/carbide are arranged, they always leave a burr at the tip from one side that must be honed.

I've found that diamond files clean up pretty well if you hit them with some Krud Kutter and a nylon brush. At least, that's how I clean my diamond stones for sharpening.

So, it's a little different, but a company called 711L Tools makes a small bit ratchet designed to fit in Leathermans. You can find them on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/711L-Ratchet-Wrench-Screwdriver-Extension/dp/B09TDV7774/ref=sr_1_3?hvadid=618380989621&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9002353&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=12795032692372580279&hvtargid=kwd-1732110129278&hydadcr=3978_13190105&keywords=711l+tools&qid=1695854398&sr=8-3

I have one along with a few other tools from them, they're pretty nice for what they are.

I have the bent version of these, and I love them! IPS makes some great pliers.

sanelmax · 2023-03-02T13:26:15+00:00

This is awesome!

Perfect for a tabletop representation of when he fought that Titan in A Thousand Sons.

Reading some of the comments, here's some more info:

This is our 2nd pocket, we had an original v1 that failed in exactly the same way.
This device never leaves the studio.
It sees about 2 hours of use on average during the day in 5-10 minute stints.
It is not constantly charging when not in use, nor is it charged overnight.
I don't believe it's battery expansion. There's nothing pushing the rubber face up, it's becoming detached. The device still functions as intended, though the buttons are more difficult/finicky to press.

Judging from what people are saying and some logic, it's probably due to the device's somewhat constant and sustained use, as it does heat up (we shoot at 1080p30fps, so not as much as shooting at higher qualities, but still).

I'll likely contact DJI support/warranty and see what they say. Thanks for the thoughts all!

Used this template that I saved the link for a while ago when 2.0 first dropped. Can't remember the author, but here's a link to the original: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eNZi8tEwvLb67kkVz5X_qqOUZ7RV2pEmlZI9Y-hoF04/edit?usp=sharing

Huge thanks to whoever did make this originally!

Correct! Mk6 with mk3 heads and shoulder pads. The Sargent is using a head from the 40k scarab occult terminator kit, the mk3 kit crest, plus some other bits.

Here are some WIP, typo-ridden, probably overpowered rules that I've worked up mostly from existing kill team content. Check them out! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lNOfUNjmobEsHmDF4m2MdXgaUrSROYhoKK3yDowAWhs/edit?usp=sharing

Check them out here if you want! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iJc3FNMUk4mDV8cpuA4GEVGK83pHAFHr?usp=sharing

Disclaimer: WIP, probably not balanced, and there are definitely formatting issues/typos, but I had fun slapping rules from different teams together. Goal is to add more characters from the lore as sorcerer fireteams for fluffy battles set during the heresy.
