I IWB a VP9 in florida every day in a remora sticky type holster. Carries like a G19 . I also have a very nice stealth gear holster for it , but i find i always come back to the 25 dollar Remora every time . Go with what works i guess

Mine is performing just as it should. Loving it. Might want to snag a 14.5 version at some point if they make it

Whoops the picture is turned actually , it's low left . Hi Power jack, i did try it out at 10-15 yards and it's still the same only more so. I have a feeling i'm going to need an adjustable rear to get this thing tuned in. My guess the height of the front sight is preventing me from getting the height correct . As the ammo goes i've tried 4 dif kinds of ammo including my hand loads . Same result. I could probably drift the rear a bunch and then the front but i already feel like the amount i've done that should have sufficed . I'm trying to get them on the phone now actually to see if i can rock one of the adjustable rears and replace the front with an FO sight and sell the night sights to another novak 1911 shooter . I just don't think the front sight height is sufficient for such a short gun

Hi guys i recently got a new STI Duty one 3.0 Lite in 9mm . Amazing little gun. Nearly 800 rounds with only 2 ftf's because of the magazine . With new tripp mags , FLAWLESS. Only issue is the point of aim vs point of impact . For the life of me i can't get it to sight in. It's hitting low left. 2 inches low , and usually about an inch / inch and a half left . Now at first i thought it was maybe me , heavier trigger , not used to the gun, maybe i'm pushing the trigger ......but i confirmed the same point of aim point of impact with other shooters as well. I tried drifting the front sight left and the rear right in hopes of closing that gap a bit to no avail. Anyone have any experience trying to sight these kinds of sights in? The Rear is a heine btw Any suggestions would be great as i'm pretty close to sending it to STI to have them replace the sights with their adjustable rear . Below are 2 pics . First is the target at 5 yards bench rested gun slow fire as controlled as i could . Second target goes as follows , Left D my 45 , colt gold cup nat'l match at 7 yards , right D my 40 akai gun, right C is the new gun . The other guns have adjustable sights, but i confirmed their POI / POA with other shooters and confirmed that i was not compensating for poor trigger control with adjustable sights. Any ideas ? apart from going adjustable which i may anyway . thanks everyone

Feedback on AR build. From cool guy tactical to 3gun
thegunnerd replied to Kwontanamo's topic in Rifle - Technical
Only 2 things that stand out to me are the battle comp ( by the way after many people have tested the battle comp , it does not work as an effective comp ) With a much cheaper comp like the miculek or the new Taccom compensator , you'd be much better off. Sell that battle comp and you'll have enough money left over for either of those 2 . And i echo the gas impingement system not the adams. Wich should be just as easy as changing to a normal BCG , gas block and gas tube. Other then that , there's no reason not to use the system you have . More and more people are going to shorter lighter barrels. The 18" or 20" barrel isn't necessary , unless you want to squeak out that much more velocity out of your round. I'm running a 16.5" voodoo ultra light with rifle length gas and it does the job very well. Even mid length gas is fine with some tweaking of the recoil system. I use an adjustable stock , and switched from the fixed recently . I don't find a benefit to one or the other apart from the adjustability of the non fixed. As for hand guard length, i like the longer hand guard like most so i can move my hand further down and have more control over pointing the muzzle. Other great comps if you want to spend a little more are the seekins atac brake and the dynamic resistance comp -
Looks like a .308 , might be proprietary

I'm getting similar results from my barrel. Seems like it can hold just about .75 moa with hand loads. More then good enough. Probably closer to 1 moa , but i'm not loading precision ammo for it . Just plain ole 650 for 223

I'm fairly sure either voodoo or adams has them in stock on their own sites for 250

Congrats on your fist post steve . It was actually informative , unlike so many others. My current 3 gun ar build is an ultra lightweight build , so it just got me curious after looking at that 100k dollar titanium AR from nemo. Once i get my low mass bcg i'll be close to 5 lbs with no optic . But it would be so cool to get under that 5 lb mark.

Hi everyone I stumbled onto this site today and was wondering if anyone had any experience with their products . I can't seem to find any references on enos anywhere. Using the upper and lower would be a nice way to shave off a little weight. But titanium can be so brittle . This alloy or composite is interesting to me , but i know nothing about the company or their rep. check it out http://amalgamatedti.com/arms.html

I can't really speak to their whole rifle. But the barrel has been ok so far. I'll be doing accuracy testing this week so more info to come. Right now , after adjusting my gas, my gun is reliably running everything . The adjustable gas block for this setup is key.

Thanks Mark . I'm actually looking into the voodoo now as well.
