this is a bummer.
I have an older plastic rival that i love, and really wanted an S, but i can say all of this will make me hold off on buying one
I hope they get your issue fixed, but as mentioned at this point the only solution seems to be swapping you out to a whole new gun
a good initial start is a 124 gr jacketed round nose (i used montana gold cmj until they became unobtanium) now i use rmr
titegroup power
mixed brass and primers
my 1911 likes a hollow point style, my plastic guns seem to prefer a round nose style
I measure 10 drops and take an average from that for my powder weight
then leave it there and do 1000 at a time
from normal ipsc and uspca distance 1/8" accuracy isnt needed.
I need to look into coated to see if i can save a little bit.
shoot coated in .38 spl
it is kinda crazy. not sure why its tight, but its cheap and easy to fix. i could have just run WWB 115G and been fine, but my reload stuff wouldnt work, and im too busy to have different loads for every gun, so i had it done and boom, no issues
i try to tell everyone this is the biggest issue
over insertion i see as an issue, but the chamber throating is f'in magic
and its cheap
Wait, forget that. Anyone wanting to toss their gun into the woodchipper ill buy it for cheap from you...lol
Glad it worked. It made my plastic gun 100% reliable to the point i want an S now just because i like the heavier gun
Awesome. Glad to see another gear head on here
I tell everyone nothing goes in that we dont have to massage somehow.
but people think were expensive...hahaha
I get that it should be right out of the box
However if it comes down to
A)i can shoot this gun because the mag hits the slide
or
B i can put something on my mag to stop it
Im choosing B 100% of the time
I deal in very high end racing stuff, and i see this kind of thing daily from parts costing 10X what the gun costs
Should we have to? probably not
but if there is a solution to the problem and you like the gun otherwise, Id go for it and not look back
or sell it to me cheap and ill do it....lol.
I havent shot one, but i love my sfx and really am wanting a rival S
i used them exclusively for years.
Great projectiles
so hard to get
ive had good luck with rmr
im considering switching to coated lead for availability
i still have 10k mg, but am looking at other options
ego + 100
listening skills -100
ive competed and won at the highest level in the world at my profession
ive always listened to any offered advice and not been a dick right or wrong, as its a learning experience
an open mind and lack of ego go a long way
offended? nope
amused? yes
you obviously know the answer as you are clearly measuring everything and just know
so why post?
i should have clarified better. I have the older tupperware version, but im guessing people may start to accommodate the steel version more. So i was wondering if i could use the new guns holster for my sfx. Specifically the OP magnetic retention holster
but i think you explained it pretty well anyway that it may be loose in there. not hotdog down a hallway loose but still loose.
thanks man
