    Open Guns 2023

    in Open Pistols

    Posted · Edited by falconpilot

    New Open 9 Major gun finally arrived..got to give folks at Infinity credit - they sure build pretty guns...Ordered this gun and then during the build period, I had my chest split to fix/repair two bad heart values I was born with. Not sure when I'll be able to run and gun again, but I got a safe queen for sure!!

    How do you like that Smoke butt stock? 

    I just got one for mine because I liked the offset but then started to wonder if would have more muzzle jump, you know like a bore axis kind of thing?

    I really like the stock...I can adjust to fit me, my style of shouldering and shooting. I could tell a little difference when I had the Smoke stuff installed on my GMR-15, but honest, I can't tell any on the JP-5...to be fair though, I haven't shot but about 500 rounds through it thus far..

    No doubt, pick up a GMR-15 from some of the guys that have gone to the JP5. I just switched to a new JP5, but have no plans of parting with the GMR-15...rifle has run 100%, flawless from day one. Get one with a Hyperfire trigger and mag well, and your ready to roll...

    Pickup up the JP5 today. Got it home and swapped all my Smoke Composite gear over from my GMR-15.  Haven't weighed it yet, but the Smoke gear put it on a serious diet...IMO, there is a big difference in the way the two rifles recoil and dot movement. Now to work up a load and maybe play with different locking pieces..

    Thanks for input. Flatter is what I’m looking for, but not at expensive of reliability as far as ammo goes. I’ve got my 15 decked out and shooting good. Never had a failure so far. I do use a Lee in my 650 already, so ammo shouldn’t be an issue. I now needed to figure out if my Smoke Composite stuff will fit JP-5.,

    School me on buying an Open gun

    I second the ideal of buying a used Open gun to start with. Buy a SV or Akai IMO. You can a low mile one on here often and save a ton of money. When you get the chance to shoot buddies open gun of different brand, never pass it up. I've owned Atlas, Akai, Cheely, CK arms, Freedom arms, STI, and several other brands...currently shooting a SV Infinity and will likely order a new one this year...but it's all personally preference really. Find one that you think is sharp gun, one that feels good in your hands, more importantly, one that runs, and  enjoy.

     

    Vortex Customer Service

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    While I've always shot SRO/Romeo/RTS's optics on my open guns, I recently bought an open pistol that had a Vortex Viper on it. It last till I got home with it...then it started going off by itself...you could turn it on and drop the hammer and it'd go out. The previous owner had to have known there was an issue but didn't disclose it, so you can image I wasn't real happy with deal. Vortex to the recuse though....I called Vortex and reached a very nice lady(Jodie Hernandez). She sent me a PO and shipping label. This was on Monday the 5th of April. I sent it out on Tuesday the 6th. Thursday the 8th, I received a brand new replacement Viper at zero cost to me...I wasn't even out shipping.

     

    Vortex customer service is absolutely the best hands down that I've ever dealt with. I believe that a company that gives this good of customer service deserves a shout out, especially in todays market where lots of business are using Covid as an excuse for horrible customer service.

    Primer issue is getting scary~

    I heard it was their shipping programs that alerted  them to the fact that a larger amount of primers where going to same addresses time and time again...you knows how hear stuff though...those customers had apparently been warned before over placing multi orders...PV finally give them the boot..as regards to the bots, I've not sure on that...

    Good to see Powder Valley post regarding "banning some people for life" . The whole Cozy deal is trying to beat the bots. Apparently some of these guys had programs where they were ordering 100K at a time and it going through until PV caught on...you know those all ended up on gunbroker...anyways, good to see a company step up and try stopping the resellers so their regular customers might get some products..

     

    45 Degree RDS

    in Pistol Caliber Carbine

    Posted

    Tried the laser at the last match..I must be to stupid to run one...had a open target straight ahead on starting..green dot dead center...buzzer goes off, two quick shoots and then I just stand there looking at the holes - wasted couple seconds. Point is for me the dot wondering around on the target is so unusual that it throws me off..I'm sure with pratice I'd get use to it quickly, but combined with the it's useless in bright light, I'm not a fan..putting my red dot back on 45 for hard leans and going from there..
