Firearm BS thread

A whole dang year with 14 on every day? Thats one hell of a battery!

 

Battery life has come a long way in micro dots. The RMR's advertise a multi-year life, and that's limited by the battery's own degredation, not the RMR's draw.

I will also say, the improvements a durable optic makes to manual of arms are significant. The sight has become my main point of manipulation on the slide and it works really well.

 

Holosun also has impressive claims (similar to aimpoint) but they also have solar backup on some models, I’m excited to see what long term durability is on my 2 holosuns.

 

I've heard good things about them, and the feature set of shake-awake, auto off, solar, and long life in an RMR footprint makes it super appealing. I just need to see a place like Sage recommend it, or at least talk to some competitors with a few thousand rounds through them.

 

Random question

Walther Q4 tac 9mm fails to eject when I added a leupold rmr but doesnt when I put the vortex venom. Why?! My only logical assumption is weight and the load is not hot enough for the leupold

Shooting 115 gr factory

 

I mean that makes sense...how do you like the q4 TAC? Im thinking about gifting it to myself when I get my Christmas bonus. I wanna eventually suppress it, but Im between red dot or 3 dot...which would be the diff between getting a navy or q4 tac.

 

I'd assume you're right. When I threw on my optic I noticed steel case went from ejecting 3' to 1' and I attribute that to extra mass. Try heavier or higher pressure ammo and see if that alleviates the issue. You could also try to find a reduced power recoil spring.

 

It's super accurate, very smooth trigger and feels very nice in the hand. The three dot on it is very nice, but yes to your point having the rmr option is to slap on a red dot. I'd look at it from this perspective, I'd rather have the option than not. I think you can find it at a price point that isnt that much off from the navy.

I also put on a compensator (two accually) and also had a fail to eject lol. So I took it off. I think I have to play with how much I threaded it on and see if it helps.

 

Yup I'll up it to 125 and see if that helps. If not, ill switch the leupold to the q5 and just put the vortex on the q4

 

Have you checked the walther forum? Theres some guys talking about the 2 different ejector spring (something like that). Theres one for when you have a suppressor and one for when you don't. You're supposed to switch back and forth.

 

Check out guns.deals for any price changes and comparison accross different vendors, if you are not aware of the site. They have an app too

 

Ill take a look at that...I have one in my sights (pun) on gunbuyer. It fits within last years bonus so Im really considering it.

 

. Nope was not aware of that. I'll check it out, thanks for the info

 

Lol. I bought mine for 600, I know I have seen it after that for 550 and maybe 500 too

 

The Q4 and Q5

 

My buddy put together a comp'd M&P 5" that shot flat as hell, but needed a reduced power recoil spring to run properly.

 

I did buy a spring set but those were for the Q5 I'll see if they work with the Q4, if not will check out specific ones for it

 

The Q4 TAC? I saw it for like $760 something like that. The other PPQs I see for sub $500

 

I needa change my underwear now

 

Just because a flashlight is mounted, doesn't mean you need to have it ON. If you're going to be clearing a house (hopefully, YOUR house), having an attached flashlight is useful and you just flick it on when you're looking at particular places that require more light. Practice this if you do it, though.
