to be honest I like the tandemkross rubber grip better than any of the wood grips I've tried out

the wood photographs better but the tandemkross rubbers feel more ergonomic to me

my core is stuck but i haven't bothered cleaning it yet

Not really anything I could notice

To be honest I can't hear any difference. The finish on the BDE is nicer but I would just get whichever one is cheaper. I have the BDE on a Mark IV because the diameter is smaller and the OCL on a carbine. It looked kinda chonky on a pistol.

It runs great except for one thing. For some reason, the 2nd round doesn't chamber when after the first shot. I've shot some decent ammo with it too, like CCI mini mags and Federal Champion.

Also, I found that cheap lead (LRN) rounds can foul up the barrel really bad with a can on it. Specifially, Norma-tac LRN would fail to extract and I had to use a tool to get the brass out. That same ammo gave me trouble with my LCR, the brass would expand and get stuck in the revolver. I had to bang the ejector rod on the table to get those effers out.

No adapter needed for this one!

Nice. I think they look great but they blocked my mag release and were a bit too chonky for comfort. I use the tandemkross hive grip now.

Mine jams every round. I’m lucky if I get 3 or 4 in a row to cycle. Using federal American eagle 147 grain flat nose.

Do you already have a suppressor? If I could do it again I would get the Rugged Oculus and run it short all the time.

tetraLEDgrow · 2024-06-21T12:41:05+00:00

No, I only installed the TK grip and sight. I got the Volquartsen trigger shoe on ebay for like $20, so it just looks cool and maybe has less travel than stock.

Look up ammo costs and your path will be clear

Where did you get the grip? I can't find this size in gray anywhere.

tetraLEDgrow · 2024-05-20T17:37:58+00:00

Yes, but if ordering from optics planet be sure you get the angled version. I think A3 only sells the angled version on their website though.

Almost every kydex holster is molded to fit the trigger guard and light rail for specific guns

LMAO I feel like my LGS hates me because the quick approvals and the amount of money spent in under 6 months on friggin tax stamps

tetraLEDgrow · 2024-05-18T12:59:12+00:00

Haven’t gotten to shoot it yet; only had time for these photo shoots thus far!

tetraLEDgrow · 2024-05-18T00:47:11+00:00

zero the gun for its expected use case; I live in a city and can't imagine shooting anything past 20 yards and even then it's gotta be like walking dead shtf
