I did see him miss a reload on the first attempt and then unload show clear . The gun looks like its running well. All the brass is ejecting fine and in the same position. What more could you ask for . No way is this a train wreck. Its a bunch of shooters having fun and testing skill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike21STI Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Anyone try the ds9 hybrid idpa model? I'm planning to get back into idpa and my limited gun won't work for idpa so I've been eyeing this. Also does anyone know if mpa will ship the gun with neutered 10 round mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I exchanged email recently with David from MPA. I had mentioned that I love the way the DS9 Hybrid shoots. However, the pistol chews up the webbing between my thumb and finger. I get a good high purchase on the pistol because of the magwell, it pushes my strong hand higher and into the beaver tail, which I like. David did mention they have a new beavertail option that I could look into. Looking at the pistol, if that section was blended more it would probably help with my discomfort. Nothing a bandage in the webbing area of my shooting hand can't fix at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple youtube videos showed quality control issues that since have been fixed. I am sure the customer service is great. But beta testing is kind of a turnoff. I believe they switched gun builders at one point, at least according to a YouTube comment from thehumblemarksman channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There open guns aren’t cheap enough to warrant that kind of work. Edited August 6, 2022 by donnyglock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat259 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 All this is interesting. I have heard of the webbing of strong hands getting chewed up because of the beaver tail and safety. But this is coming from the 1st generation of DS9s. The research I have found speaks very highly of these pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakerjd Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 A friend of mine has a hybrid amd while it's a decent gun it's not great for the price point. It just feels kinda cheap to me. Seemed to run ok, but it was a can of mixed reloads and brand new gun. I looked hard at their IDPA model and while the price tag looks nice I am willing to spend a little more, if that, on one I know will be perfect from other sources.
