Did you ever hear of an issue with the grease on their pistols? Reason I ask is because I just recently had to clean mine due to an issue I had recently, and good lord was it nasty in there. It was my first time detail cleaning it. I've only used 3n38 it as well which I'm changing.

I absolutely love mine and can't wait to get a 2nd one for the room.

This is what I experience frequently after ignoring the comp for a few k. No matter what the powder it seems. I end up cleaning it with a small bronze brush tool I found at harbor freight and a dash of Hoppes. I may need to use a small metal pick to chip a chunk out or something. I've never tried this but can't wait to now.

^This. The walk-thru won't be possible for everyone out there but sending regular updates of the build process for something like this goes a long way. Congrats on the blaster, I bet it's fun as hell to shoot.

16:9 is the standard. if you're viewing just on your phone, maybe the other way if you like portrait mode. You're not using the 360 in practice as a hat cam are ya?

I try to touch the gun at least once a day, even if the practice isn't very long or detailed and a match 2-3 times a month. I try to get a live fire session in on one of the off weeks with a weekend.

No lubing afterwards. The oil came with the pistol. It's some blue stuff. I'm going to give Lucas oil a try next match and see how things fair. I was just curious if anyone else here ran into that before.

Anyone on this thread mark their brass and have it affect the oil's viscosity after a few stages? Has it ever caused a FTF/FTE? I use a thick red sharpie line on my brass for the best visibility in my environment and have found that after a few stages the marker dye is mixing with the oil causing the slide to slow down a bit. A few drops on the rails fixes it, but if I could find a better oil for my situation or a better way to mark brass that still allows it to be highly visible (thick lines vs thin line).

They didn't for me. I sent an email asking if the quoted wait times were still accurate and for some pictures of their toolkit they offer cause I'm really curious what that whole package looks like. 10 days after the email was sent I got the phone call asking for final payment and a FFL.

All CRN.

Do they do that? I didn't think any of the higher tiered builders rushed anything, especially these guys. Let's hope you're wrong and mine was just a simple build.

Quoted wait time at build: 8-10 months Date deposit given: 11.2.21 Notified pistol is ready to ship: 08.25.22 Pistol type: Open Hope this helps someone.

Any idea why it would be that long over the quoted time? Did he order something extra ornate or something?

First, sorry about that RDS thing going on. You have to be pissed waiting that long for those only to hate the one thing you are staring at the most on the guns. I can't remember any of their US shooters running that sight and it seems like such an obscure RDS. Second though, crap! 12ish months when you were given probably initially given the 6-8 month build window is really disappointing to me. I was given an 8-10 month window late last year and now it sounds like it'll probably be Christmas before I see that one. Maybe yours took longer because you got two at one time?

You're able to make major with only 8gr of HS-6 with a v6 middy with a KKM? I only ask because I have the same gun, down to the slide cuts, and it takes at least 8.6 with 8.8 to stay 170-175ish which keeps the dot moving straight up and down. It still leaves the glass, but I think that happens no matter what load one uses.

I was quoted 8-10 months and am seeing if others given the same time frame are coming in closer to the 8 rather the 10. I put it in Sept\Oct. '21

Mind me asking how long your wait time was for the 2nd Infinity?

I'd be curious if anyone could do a comparison of PSTG and Casey's stuff. Or Tom Castro's stuff.

I've tried it and liked it. After a couple of months I found it repetitive though. I do feel like I gained some much needed structure for my dry-fire thru it though.

You seemed pretty set on 9 major. What things made you change your mind?

What turned you away from the MP? I tried the samples they send out and found their aggressive not as prickly as my LSI (which is comparable to the EVO aggressive) but grippier than a silicon carbide grip I have. My concern with the grip tape is the eventual upkeep or replacement of it. That just seems like pain.

I've never gotten reliable 9mm brass for free. You guys are lucky. I do get 'after the local is over' brass for free, but only after stage breakdown is finished and only what I can get between all of the other guys picking it up. Then it's sorting it, cleaning all the other crap that got picked up with it (most of the time dirt\rocks inside the cases from being stepped on, separating it from inside the 40 brass that it inevitably gotten lodged into. After all is said and done, I just put in a significant amount of time to pick up brass that is almost certainly not once-fired and almost certainly shot a few times out of another 9 major gun that left it because it's been reloaded a few times. I rather just pick up my brass that has 2 marker lines on it while in between pasting stages and leave after stage breakdown. Sure I may be short a few pieces, but in my opinion, that's a minor loss compared to what the alternative is.

I'd be curious of this as well. I had one on order but ended up changing it to 38sc due to me constantly questioning myself whether that was the right call for such a large investment.

I bought this one off a FB group, new but missing the instructions. Ltdstr posted screenshots of something I've never seen before. I've scoured a ton of posts here on the forum as well and notice you're more snippy than most at questions posed. I've read your book and you've been a great help with all the other content you put out and I really appreciate that but man...why do you have to always assume people are being lazy or always have the information right in front of them and are just ignoring it? Everyone else in the thread, thank you. I'll give that all a try and give it a go again.
