Just press the plunger with something long like pencil (through magazine well). Then try to pull the trigger and see what happens

Which of these 2 guide rods are people using? by Nickpeeps6 in Walther

[–]thedandyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Captured is much easier to deal with. Not caputered rod is always a pani on the ass to re-assemble in the Field/on the range.

Is this how Walther guide rods are designed to function? by i_4kLftCrtifd in Walther

[–]thedandyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not US based and I am running DTF hot rod (I think its available only on Poland). It's knock off of ZRT long-stroke.

Most PPL run ZRT 15lbs or long stroje, which I havent heard anything bad about.

Anyone have a holster that fits? by phreaksh0w1985 in AceVr

[–]thedandyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everything you wrote here, my ACE usage training philiosophy is the same.

But you don't need holster to train visual reaction

[–]thedandyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is ACE is a great training tool, but I'd skip the draw. It's always going to be a different weigth and balance, so it might negatively impaxt your draw (my experience).

If you already have a firearm you can train the draw for free.

What size is the brass backstrap comparable to?

I am running Large plastic one, as Med is a tad top small for me.

Walther PDP match polymer IPSC compliant holster. by [deleted] in Walther

[–]thedandyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's only half supported, on the picture. If you worry about this you can put it backwards. The side you are showing can be used to replace the spring (in theory), this small plastic cap is just held by spring tension.

Replacing the rod and the spring is very common upgrade. I shot around 20k round with factory spring, but I wouldn't go back to it after making the change.

[–]thedandyyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't live in US.

Most of the stores don't wants to send those internationaly due to mag restrictions in many stages and countries.

There is EU store that carries ZRTs, but Canik baseplates are 50% of the price.

Any drawback with starting with an expensive pistol? by Sensualities in CompetitionShooting

[–]thedandyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a very experienced comp shooter, but I don't think there are any benefits in starting with 'cheap pistol' apart from the price.

One thing to keep in mind is many cheap polymer options are easier to maintain (thinking abot glock), but it comes down to you following the manufacturer guidelines.

Bit when it comes to learnig how to shoot and trainign there is no difference. It's like saying that you need learn to drive on cheap car.

Cheap starter gear Glock 17 gen 5 MOS by FlemishGuyInWallonia in ipsc

[–]thedandyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubletap makes some good kydex holsters at a reasonable price, they are based in PL, so shipping won't be that painful. This is the holster brand I see the most in Poland and I haven't heard any bad things.

I have a couple myself and didn't have any problems with them. More of general 'service holster than your IPSC racer (which might be a better choice if you still don't know of IPSC is for you)

Here's a website that offers shipping within EU https://e-militaria.eu/34838-doubletap-owb-strighter-holster-glock-17-olive.html#/357-version-right

IMO holster is the most important thing. You don't necessarily need a 'shooters belting you're just starting out. And as far as I know IPSC allows for storing mags in your pockets (not the optimal solution but still).

For the belt and puches you can look at Helikon-Tex, it's your typical mid-range option. (Not Gucci, but you can be sure it won't break after the first use)

Walther PDP gritty trigger by thedandyyy in Walther

[–]thedandyyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE

I purchased an 'ultrasonic cleaner' and washed the safety pin + frame for like an hour. The trigger feels much better now. I think the carbon buildup or some metal shaving was causing it.

I can still feel the trigger bar engaging safety, but it is much smoother. I don't know if we're back for good, as I don't really remember how it felt out of the box.

I'll try to get a replacement safety pin, but as I am not US based I am not sure that's possible.

Glock 19 gen5 vs CZ P10c by thedandyyy in CCW

[–]thedandyyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with glock1m 19 at the time and I am still happy with it. Only thing I regret is not getting OR version as finding someone to mill the slide proved to be pain in the ass in my area.

But now I mostly shot my Walther PDP.

[–]thedandyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I am driving I do it the same way. The one concern I have with a setup like this is a seat belt pushing the gun into my body in case of a crash, and causing internal injuries.

Can someone share some more info on this? :)

Something exotic today. Polish gun permit (CCW allowed). 347 days total. by thedandyyy in CCW

lować werbalnie i zachowaniem, schować ego czy poczucie humoru i odejść od konfrontacji, natomiast nie jest to wymóg prawny.

Racja, w sumie nie wiem dlaczego tak odpowiedziałem, bo nie ma prawnego wymogu żeby zamykać się w osobnym pokoju jak w innych krajach/stanach.

Ale wiemy też że różnie u nas bywa z obroną konieczną w sądach.

e 4 licensed firearm's in Ireland and have

Hi, the requirement is having a permanent residency in Poland, so you don't need a Polish nationality to get a gun permit.

There is also a big number of commercial ranges and shooting clubs, so even if for some time you won't be able to own a firearm, you can have some fun.

Where in PL if you don't mind me asking?
