Re: Elite Ammunition T6B Gel Test

I've never really gotten an answer, so I'll ask again. Who is getting attacked by bad guys wearing Kevlar? I get that the 5.7 can punch through some armor, and that's cool, but why do we place so much importance on this? Has anyone here even been in a gunfight? Was the guy wearing armor that shut d...

Re: Elite Ammunition T6B Gel Test

Yes. EA has sold multiple weighted pills in the Trident line, in the past. They have made and experimented with even more weights than that. I've had both ss197 and AE fail in my FsN USG; it doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is a complete failure. Double feeds and completely failure to cycl...

Re: FiveseveN Mk II Failure to Extract

.02 Bottom line: Slide is NOT cycling back far enough during failure. ___ Cold bore shot; the components/materials that need to be warmed up are not warm enough.

My NIB MK2 is still sitting in the factory box waiting for Jay to be done with 1/1000 of his projects.

Once he comes out with the extended slide, I'll send it in for trigger work and extended bbl/slide.

Others don't care. Most don't. 2. The slide release is a slightly...

Dude, Mike, your smith is rad.

Sounds like he is a true nerd/engineer/pistolcrafter at heart. I really enjoyed reading the F86 bit.

I think your FO front and factory rear is the ticket (my pref would be to black out the stupid white dots in the rear, too!)

I think the front blade sight is implemented as such, for an attachment of a suppressor. I could be wrong but it makes sense to me.

Aren't designed very intelligently. I bought a MkII and out of the box the rear sights looked like they were at the end of the set screw for elevation in the up direction.

Why are you trying to convince him...?

FsN has low recoil - good for older people who don't prefer higher recoil firearms; carries a lot of ammo that is also very light. Mags are easy to load.
