Beyond it All

Beyond it All (9/11)

  1. I’ve heard swmp and aa7 are the same but apparently swmp 9major with 115gr even at the same charge has more pressure than aa7. I don’t recall what the program is that measures that but maybe someone can confirm?
  2. https://aaaoptics.com/?sca_ref=4016375.bjaVYaQDoQ speaking of the green, if anyone is looking for one they have it in stock again here
  3. do you have a red version of this same dot? I was imagining the red being just as bright and the brightness is just a product of the newest generation of holosuns.
  4. Idk if it’s my eyes or what but the 8moa circle and dot combo just looks like a dot to me. I have the green model so not sure if that has anything do to with it or the fact that the dot is SUPER Bright but that’s been my first glance experience so far. I really like it overall. Time will tell.
  5. Disagree. Not of the same caliber. Same price, if not more. But that’s about it.
  6. I ended up getting the CHWPS plate. Definitely locks the sro in better. It has tabs that lock the plate into the slide and mounting tabs that also lock the sro better in place. Seems to be much more secure than just the two screws.
  7. Advantage = you can use an rts2. disadvantage= you can’t without it.
  8. If the Axg pro has the rmr pattern holes milled already, what is the need for the plate anyway?
  9. Since this is alive again, updated answer to the question can you deal directly with h&m for nitride finishing on one gun order? Or do you go through a distributor? I don’t see anywhere on hm site that shows a cost
  10. I have a short block on order. @zzt seems to have some experience with the short block and seems to have nothing but good recommendations for it. their long standing reputation of great quality guns and parts, I’m surprised more people don’t recommend on here l, or go with the updated line of SC guns especially now that they incorporate cheely grips on their guns. In my opinion, the SC open gun is by far the best deal I’m the market right now. Not sure what the lead time is in the sc line but for $4900 you get a steel grip open gun with an rts2 that I would imagine runs 110% They’ve been around forever and through the years it’s probably the least re-sold open gun (at least on here for the last 5-8 years) for probably good reason.
  11. Just because companies like atlas charge wayyy too much for an open semi custom gun doesn’t make this price point good for the quality and workmanship shown. Better options are out there.
  12. A minor load will more than likely be easier to shoot quicker at falling steel. I’ve shot a lot of falling steel matches with minor and a lot of uspsa open with major. a lighter load is easier to shoot steel fast than major. 140pf is a good place to aim. The best load I found a while back testing light loads and different powder / bullet combos was a medium burn rate and a light bullet in the 140pf range. Winchester with Wst was a very nice minor load. But it will take experimenting to see if your open major gun will even run light steel loads. Some guns setup for major won’t run too light of a load. Play around with it if you have the time. I think you’ll find going with a lighter than major load will be beneficial
  13. I’ve owned a honcho so I feel like I can somewhat chime in with some advice and experience regarding the locking block chatter. (Sold mine a cpl years ago due to financial reasons, loved the gun itself.) if the gun is dirty and you take the slide off just make sure you clean the heck out of the space in the frame that the locking block sits and you won’t have issues. It’s really only an issue If you let stuff get under the locking block when disassembled then reassemble without making sure powder or crud isn’t under the locking block. I shot well over 500 rounds at a time with mine malfunction free without cleaning. When field stripping and reassembling I learned very quickly the need to not let stuff get under the block. It’s really easy to tell if you’re going to have an issue. If the slide stop has resistance going back in when reassembling you left something (I burnt powder kernel or something) under the block. If the slide stop pops in like a typical link barrel Setup you’re pretty much good to go. In my opinion this is what would lead to a block breaking because when stuff gets behind or under the block it causes timing issues (again this is just my opinion based on my experience) also it’s not easy to get stuff under the block without disassembling a dirty gun so it really is a user induced issue if you even can call it that. If you are aware of that though and just make sure you assemble the gun correctly, it’s a non issue. I think the one guy that lubes his locking block every stage just doesn’t understand this simple concept and is way over thinking things and imo is totally unnecessary.
  14. +++ just go with this. You won’t regret it.
