A small offering to help me fasten my Virtus STV round my fat belly.

Last Friday evening I ordered a

APS X-Cap Spyder Race Connector D-Mod mit Metallschlitten GBB 6mm BB schwarz / gold ​

from Kotte & Zeller in Germany. ​

It will be delivered this afternoon (iagw)​

It's going back tomorrow. The first two 10 shot sessions went well. After that it was excessively loosing gas upon shooting and after that it vented from the fill port. Bummer.​

Well ofter 2 months of amazon sending me the wrong bipod twice, finding the one I want on a Chinese website and waiting over 3 weeks for it to get here I finally have the bipod to go on my SPR build. Plus the new scope mount, Aimpoint Acro P2 clone, surefire light and mount, sling, mount and a new set of stanag mags it's really looking the part

Sending it back to Germany proved to be a hassle. Since it's a dual power system I ordered a co2 mag instead.
I guess the gas mag needs more powerfull gas, (slide lock upon empty mag doesn't work).
Haven't got more powerfull gas so cannnot test it at the moment.

Sounds like an APS pistol in a nutshell TBH, I had a dragonfly that looked great but didn't perform well on green, was better on C02 but still lackluster compared to pretty much any other pistol.

Sell it and buy something better.

I wouldn't load CO2 into APS pistols.

They have a concerning rate of Mag Asplode.

Ok, I'm a bit tardy on this, as I bought the gat a week or two ago, but I've got myself a TM Tactical M9 which is something I've had an itch for, for a while...


(Lighting / my camera work not doing it any favours, it's very clean looking, honest!)

It came from Action Hobbies' boneyard with 'sticky grip syndrome'. Well a dip in brake fluid and a scrub with a toothbrush sorted that out, and then a couple of coats of rattle can matte black brought the grips back to looking and feeling much better. I might add on some Talon Grip to get it back to being properly Tactical, happy enough as it is.

I have a question. I wanted this M9 partly because the old cheapo M9 I have is double action. Would spare me those awful 'forgot to cock it' moments when pulling the sidearm in extremis
So I was a bit disappointed to (initially) find this gat wasn't giving me double action happiness. But I've just discovered that drawing back on the hammer just a tiny bit causes a loud click, and enables the double action to function. I can see the trigger bar on the side of the gun move.
So ... is this a side-effect of me losing the spring that attaches to the trigger bar when I removed the grips? I used the spring from my cheapo HFC M9 as a replacement. Maybe it's not strong enough?

I also bought a cheap Nuprol M4 CQB because you can never have enough backup-to-the-backup-of-the-backup M4's sitting in a box in the loft. I've not even re-wired that to Deans yet, so no idea if it's a load of crap or not
