Sees Sights Lift

Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. What I've wanted from the beginning on the MPX is a side charger.
  2. The comp cannot be removed. It is not threaded on. It's a machined part of the barrel itself. However, they did/do sell a separate non-comp sight block barrel that could be used for that new Limited Optics division. As for people selling Honchos, I wouldn't read too much into it. People sell all kinds of things. Honchos, SVIs, Atlas guns, etc.... and many guns have problems. Not downplaying the issue of broken locking blocks though. It hasn't happened to me, but I can't say how often it occurs. I don't know how many people it has happened to. I will say that I am disappointed in the huge price increase of the Honcho over the past 2-3 years. When I bought the gun I got several barrels with it for $4500 total, and now the same gun is selling for $7500-$8000. I originally bought it not only because it seemed innovative, but because it provided great value. However, now it's just as expensive, if not even more expensive than, the SVI and Atlas guns it's competing against. I would be very hesitant to spend that kind of money on one now. However, I wouldn't be hesitant to buy one used for a good price if it looked to be in good condition. They appear to be more focused on the HTAC/HDUTY guns right now. Trying to get the name out there outside of the competition world and in front of people who would otherwise be buying Staccato guns. The HTAC/HDUTY looks quality, and I'm sure they shoot great, but you can tell they are also designed to be more profitable. The gun itself is coated with cerakote instead of DLC, the barrel is not coated at all, the grip is just smooth + grip tape, etc., and the gun is selling close to (maybe a little less than) what the Honcho originally went for a few years ago.
  3. So will any 9mm 124 or 147 grain Gold Dot or HST.
  4. Holy s#!t, there are a lot of fudds on this forum. .40 is dead in the real world. Let it fade from competition too. The entire reason major and minor were created isn't even a thing in the real world anymore. IMO, just to piss these guys off further, Limited Optics should just be called Limited, and the old Limited should be changed to Limited Legacy or Limited Classic.
  5. It's not in preorder. It's been out for a few years. There are a number of videos about it on YouTube. I haven't seen one in person, but based on everything I've seen about them, they are nice guns with very nice machining, but don't shoot super significantly better than a Glock. Most of that probably comes down to the fact that the frame is aluminum (not steel) and doesn't weigh all that much. If you're just after a cool novelty with nice machining, it's probably a fine buy. However, if you're after the best shooting Glock platform, you probably want to get a Zev OZ9 instead (but keep in mind you're gambling on reliability with the OZ9 also... bad track record). IMO, it's a cool gun for what it is, but it would be way more interesting with a steel lower and more weight.
  6. Same here. I've never cared about the strength of the reset on any gun, rifle or handgun. I just want the most light and most crisp I can get.
  7. What would need to be modified about it? Is the JP5 lower housing more narrow or something?
  8. There really isn't any specific weight. It depends on the trigger and the gun. I can use my TriggerTech Diamond (AR version, not PCC version) with my PCCs and in one gun I can use it at 1 pound reliably with no doubles, but in another gun it will have doubles if I don't raise it up a little.
  9. Ahh, a little disappointed they went with the dual charging design. IMO, there is no benefit to having the rear charging handle there. In fact, it sort of limits it to a gaming-only gun, because having the rear charger means it's not going to be very pleasant to slap a suppressor on (gas leaking out of the rear charging area), which is one of the primary things people like to do with a roller-delayed blowback gun. I know companies try to sell it as a positive thing, because they say you have redundancy or that the shooter has options to fit their preferences, but, in my opinion, it's really just a cost thing for the manufacturer. It allows them to produce one upper design instead of multiple. I'd rather it not be there at all and just have the back of the upper receiver completely sealed.
  10. Awesome. Hopefully, they release those soon! Any pics?
  11. Still waiting on the Tungsten Grip re-release. As usual, Zev is incredibly slow.
  12. The TriggerTech Diamond is the best of the best in the AR trigger world, IMO. My runner-up choice would the be the AR Gold. However, these triggers aren't for everyone. I like them because they are very crisp, have a very short rest, and can get very light (like down to 1 or 1.5 pounds if you want), which I like. However, some people don't like them because they have a somewhat weak reset, and some people like to have a strong reset that sort of helps push their finger back. Both of these triggers have a pretty light reset. It's defined, but the click is quiet and it doesn't really push your finger forward. It depends on what you like and where your priorities are. EDIT: Never tried the Timney Calvin Elite, but heard it was good.
  13. Talked to someone at Zev, and they said they expect the tungsten grip to be back in stock in late summer.
  14. Depends on the trigger. The Tactical Trigger has a pretty well defined wall.

    Zev

    Yeah, there aren't any aluminum or steel grips that mate up to the OZ9 steel receiver right now, sadly. I'd love to see someone do it. I'd especially like to see a big aggressive steel grip, like the Evo grips on the Phoenix Trinity Honcho 2011.
