m700 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I finally got my stuff together to build this. I got norsso compact slide, Pmm ultrabarrel/comp, recoil reduction, stock slide components, and Dom recoil reduction guide rod/springs. I got it all together and I can't attach the slide to the frame. I have it pulled back as far as possible in this picture. What should I look for in fixing this?

a_whole_lot_of_freedom Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Make sure that the guide rod isn't off center where it makes contact with the barrel. If it is even the slightest bit off it will do that. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m700 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Thank you for your reply. The Dpm guide rod is circular with 2 flat sides. I had assumed flats were to be top and bottom.ill play around tonight.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m700 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Just silicone carbided grip yesterday and will find out if it shoots tommorow morning. I want to start a new build soon. And I'm loving the x5 platform, at my level of shooting it's 95% as good as a custom 2011 at 1/4the price. Not sure what direction I would go. I have this one and a legion with GG trigger only.

m700 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 it definitely shoots. I brought my standards 115s with minimum load. both my legion and x5 shot those with reduced spring weight. I also shot some mid range loads and max loads. The gun started out not liking my loads but after 100 rounds of the maxs it started running the minimum load just fine. I think I will dial them up just a little to increase reliability. but its nice to know I can run max power almost as quick as minimum. Setup like this I feel like im shooting a laser gun dot is always on target, it barely climbs and in the SRO its easy to find for first round.

a_whole_lot_of_freedom Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I let a friend of mine run mine at a USPSA match last night with full power factor loads and the muzzle rise is basically non-existent. PMM definitely came up with a top notch idea.Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Nice build! I picked up the DPM system myself but haven’t had a chance to get the gun to the range since. Let us know how it feels when you get it to the range! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B585 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Glad to hear that is running well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmleenz Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Sweet looking blaster! That PMM system is sweet - seems everyone loves theirs. I've read mixed reviews of reliability though. They don't seem to eat anything like stock but once you find the right load they seem to run great. Once I get my ported X-five barrel back I'd love to compare with a PMM system.
