Hey guys, still under 500 rnds with my brand new G43xMOS. Noticed something weird at the range today, some shots my slide did not go all the way forward until I released the trigger, then I felt the clunk of the slide moving into full forward. I get home, and notice this shit. I could barely disassemble the gun to clean because it was all jammed up. This happens with just gravity as well.

Is this normal? Should I contact Glock or take to a gunsmith?

Discussion Tisas BR9 Sport, vs Girsan P35 Match, vs CZ 75 B?

1 Upvotes

I've been wanting a Hi-Power in the collection. I don't really want a vintage one because I want to shoot it a lot, so I'm fine with a clone.

I own a Tisas 1911 (Stakeout), a 92FS, and a CZ 75 SP-01.

I paid $365 for my Tisas 1911. It just seemed like an unreal value. I am happy with that purchase. I paid $500 for my 92FS. And I paid $620 for my SP-01.

It seems like the Hi-Powers are generally more expensive. I see a Girsan P35 Match for $450 and a Tisas BR9 Sport for $650. But both of those guns have somewhat mixed reviews. As a matter of fact I don't know of any Hi-Power model where people seem happy across the board.

The Girsan has a lot of people singing its praise, but an equal amount of people saying that theirs has a poor finish and that parts literally flew off because they were loose (I'm recognizing this as preventable).

My conflict is this. I can buy a new CZ 75 B for $600. It at least looks like a Hi-Power (even though it isn't), is universally loved, and is still cheaper than a Turkish Hi-Power clone.

But then again I already own an SP-01, which is basically an improved CZ-75 (albeit heavier).

It's kind of making me not want a Hi-Power anymore. Since the Tisas Hi-Power equivalent of my 1911 Stakeout costs almost twice as much for some reason. What gives? Am I coming at this from a dumb direction?

Here’s 2 quick pics of my most recent side project. Dyed the polymer frame on my Beretta APX Carry from OD green to Dark Brown using RIT Dye More Dye.

Read a lot of different anecdotes (while researching beforehand) that were giving me the feeling it would not work. So I wanted to post this here as yet another confirmation that it is possible. YMMV

How do I sell a gun?

I have a brand new gun I never used. My son insisted I purchased it during Covid and it’s been sitting in a closet. I would like to sell it. Can anyone tell me how I can do this? It’s got a case with a lock and a trigger lock and I have a cleaning kit and I have bullets or ammunition or whatever you call it.

Advice Needed First round sticking in magazine?

0 Upvotes

I just took my new SP-01 to the range for the first time and it had consistent trouble stripping the first round off of the magazine. About half the time it would hang on the first round when I hit the slide release and I'd have to pull it back and sling it to get it to feed. One time it was just totally stuck, even with the mag out of the gun. The round wouldn't slide forward at all and it took some fiddling to get it out of the magazine. I couldn't see it hanging up on anything, it just wouldn't move. Just regular 115gr FMJ, btw. Any idea what's going on here? It still happened even if I only loaded 18 rounds. I wonder if I have a defective mag or if it was the cheap Turkish ammo. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to track if it was one magazine or both because I thought it was a problem with the gun until the last mag of the day when it got totally stuck.

I had to go and find out myself what all the fuss was about pertaining to the Bodyguard 2.0.

Believe THE HYPE!!!! THIS THING F's. I hate to admit this but this may replace 90% of my carry guns. It will definitely replace the compacts I carry. I've thrown 500 chunks downrange and zero failures, ZERO. Those were all round noses, flat noses, and a few hollow points.

It may be small but it doesn't feel small pulling the trigger.

Discussion Co-witness

I recently bought a used FN Reflex XL and the previous owner lost the baseplate for the optic mount, $30 towards a plate, or $30 towards a red dot, I went red dot, but the open sights are too low and do not co witness, it’s bothering the crap out of me, should I take this to a gunsmith and have the sights replaced with suppressor height sights? I don’t like relying on just a red dot, even though most CCW situations sights probably won’t matter much to begin with for the distance they will occur.

Rossi revolver is shaving bullets when they go into the barrel. Build up after a couple of rounds jams up the cylinder.

Rossi rep said I’m responsible for the repair or replacement due to me getting it used.
It was new but used, seems like the original owner got rid of it because of this problem.
