That shit prints heavy. Trail run, sure. Run through urban? Idk might as well just use a chest rig and pretend you’re only carrying a phone in it.

get the thicker Magpul butt stock pad. It helps a lot with felt recoil. 175 grain ammo seems to work best with mine. 150 grain just runs way too hard on setting 2.

Great review. I am looking for a belly band. Thanke to your video. I think I found the best. At least for me. I am small. 5-8" printing and rapid access are 2 big deals for me, as well as negligent discharge. I appendix carry, & can not afford a negligent discharge. None of us can.-Thank you-Take care.Lets pray we never have to use these in a real life situation.

Thanks for the review. Appreciate you showing retention. That is what I was most concerned about. Seems to be solid enough for sure.

I think that one would need to have several more groups to give a higher confidence interval than just 2 groups per ammo types.

Yup!

Great video- Thanks! I did everything you did and the trigger pull is better, but still not good enough. I'm going to go back and do a better job polishing and see how that works.

My ONLY issue with the belt is that the area behind the holster isn't big enough to keep the grip off my skin. If/when they ever remedy that, I'm buyin one FOR SURE! 😉

Nice job. That’s a fun stage and one you can really shave time.

Any concern the Velcro may give when drawing the gun?

Awesome review. I if I get one will I be able to run 3 miles, too?

When i first tried this ammo from IMI, it was a few years ago, and it consistently tested 100-200fps slower than Black Hills, and the Corbon MPR that they used to make back in the day(both with TMKs.) My friend ended up shooting my chrono at 300yds with an M1A(despite me telling him not to, as he's not really a big "gun guy" or regular shooter) so I can't test it myself, but it would appear that the two are very similar based on your experience. Also, what was the barrel length on your rifle, and which can? I dont know if its my chamber, or my can(OSS 556K), or what, but my go to rifle, which is only 12.5", would consistently provide velocities of just over 2700fps(like 2710 maybe.) The suppressor adds 40-55fps for me.

I have both the Blackhawk stache nacho is much better.

Buying a 4inch tomorrow…any good threaded barrels for this set up?

It’s a fine pistol but not as good as the PPQ that it replaced … so I’m a bit confused.

Dammmn, cant wait for mine to show up :)

M-AH-M-Buh not Ma'am-buh Followers are the same by the way

Having not held one in my hands yet, I'm not entirely convinced that this is the best method for utilizing the thumb release system. I'm sure it's fine for competition shooting, but to use it for what it is intended for... having an extra layer of retention to prevent someone else from taking your gun... the way this system works seems to me that it would be far too easy for someone to disengage that thumb lock without even intending to do so. Their thumb falls right where it needs to be, and their natural instinct would be to squeeze their fingers around the grip, meaning it's very likely their thumb will activate that release without even knowing it's there. I'd like to see some testing done with it, to see how effective it really is in that regard. At least with the push-down versions, you have to make a dilberate action to release the mechanism. That feels more secure to me than this method. 5.11 used to offer a thumb release holster made by Blade Tech that had the push down system. I have a pair of those and they work great, similar construction to this one. Unfortunately they don't appear to make those anymore. Fobus has a similar push down thumb release holster that they still make, but it's only available for Glocks. I'm a fan of the level II thumb release holsters in general, I like seeing more offerings available. I'm just not sold on this design yet.

By cutting the spring you didn’t make it lighter. You made it heavier. Think about it. The only thing you should have done is polish the hammer and sear. If the contact point is smoother the hammer will just slide like butter on the sear. That will in turn lighten the trigger pull.

Great setup with the DPP.. I think that is what I will go with on my PDP.. I see you have a holster for it where do you recommend getting a nice kydex at?

I just got mine last Sunday and I have been looking everywhere for that key for the gas regulator but I never thought checking inside the dam grip. Thanks for that!!! I was about to go tomorrow and buy one 😂

Went on Amazon. They only sell the belt NOT the holster

Sgammo better priced

Sh*+! That's quiet!

Great setup if you don't have a larger body type. Maxim stretched length they offer is 47". My belly is 44, I wasn't comfortable to only have 3" to go over and secure the holster. I ordered a modular holster for my 43x and tried with my existing Comort Tac belly band which is longer and it works great. I did however sew a couple of pieces of 4" velcro in places to position it how I wanted it

I wonder if you have to clean the band/holster often and what that looks like. Is it just let dry and wipe with a wipe or somthing? I imagine running you get it salty and such.

I was looking for a velcro backed holster and I ended up buying the whole kit because the prices of the kit is close to the price of most stand alone holsters.

Polishing the contact points reduced my pull weight from about 5.5 to 4.5 lbs. No changes done to the springs except for repositioning the magazine disconnect spring to disable it. Most noticeable improvement is that formerly gritty trigger is now smooth, and I got to learn more about my gun. Nice video

Not to mention it also feels top heavy as well

I just received this holster yesterday..when you draw it looks as if the gun comes out easy.mine does not,either it doesnt come out or it will pull the band up as well..is there a break in time on the kydex holster?any suggestions?

Nice. Very pleased with my 16". 300+ rounds only 1 time it didn't hold open on last shot with M80 on setting #2. Otherwise no issues. Very good accuracy with everything respectively. Thank you.

The rumor is that the 20” rifles were not affected just the shorties.

Excellent video - thank you for posting. I'm wondering if you've seen the VNSH holster belly band and have any thought on a comparison between the two?

Can anyone recommend size?im a i wear 34 in jeans..would medium work or should i go with a large?

Great review señor, thank you.

I’m in Texas, so I understand the heat. It wouldn’t be bad for short trips to the store and such, but I wouldn’t want to wear it all day.

The nice thing is, you don’t have to adapt to anything just because someone else has a preference. Like you point out with vehicles, we have many options with handgun design. I’m more than capable of effectively using a paddle style mag release, but my preference is a more traditional, by today’s standards, button release next to the dominant thumb. Personally, I find it far more efficient and facilitates maintaining a better grip while changing magazines. It’s great that we have so many options where the individual can find. What works best for them.

You must keep in mind SFAR rifles have many reliability issues..?.if you have the time and the money fill your boots.

They should have kept the paddle release like the PPQ. I love my PPS V1.

Mine won't fully run on setting 2, I'm at 140 rounds through it, at 200 rounds, setting 2 better work, or ruger here it is, fix it

What a beaut

Torn between this gun and my F series. Personally I think the F shoots better

I have the 20 inch. Runs great and feels like an ar!

thanks. i have the 6.5CM. love it. public defender who commented below have been comparing notes. funny to see he commented here as well.

Help to key chain bullet mr

Yes! Compared to that DPMS this SFAR blows it away in every category. Good video.

Thanks brother I just ordered one

I bought a PDP 1.0 9mm 4" in spring 2021. I like my PDP. No major issues. A few sharp, rigid parts for a concealed, carry pistol but not difficult. Id re-engineer the loaded chamber indicator. The red Walther factory paint wears off quickly. Some YT gun channels have groused about 1.0 PDPs having trigger issues, reset under some limited CQB events but I highly doubt 95% of US gun owners, ccw users would be in that incident. If you press nearly any modern striker gun any have the slide move back that might not fire 💥 Id add another minor blip with PDPs is not many holsters, gear. I got a left hand Muddy River Tactical holster, 2021 for my 4" PDP. Id prefer a solid level ll TS7 ALS rig. C&G kydex holsters are available for PDPs too. ✔️

Somebody at the range let me shoot one of these... not sure if it was luck but my grouping was John Wick status 😂 I need to buy one asap

There is a holosun that looks like it was made for this gun ! This will be my next handgun I heard many good things about it.
