I own both. The Fix is very nicely constructed, and a joy to carry. If you close your eyes and run the gun, it has the elegance and poise of a stapler. The Cross is a far, far, nicer gun from a shooter’s perspective, and almost as nice to carry. Recent samples of either are deficient in barrel...

I’d be happy with those results. I think they’re atypical. Mine is about 1.5-2x worse on almost every count.

Ruger makes a product to a price point, and was successful. I think they were generally more concerned with function, unsuppressed, than accuracy or refinement. It comes in under $1k and generally works fine with M80 ball. I spent a weekend on a line of 16 SFARs and saw few malfunctions. The...

Yuck. Well, I can vouch for one product of theirs a couple times. Might need to look elsewhere in the future. Thanks.

Ignoring certain vocal posters, Trijicon gave up innovating in favor of litigating, long ago. Holosuns are proven in combat, at scale, and I’ve moved over all my serious duty gear to their enclosed emitters. The EPS and EPS carry are fantastic optics at any price. It just happens that they can...

Slightly longer, but my Craddock with a 20” and ~M24 contour balances as described.

Having sat through a 15+ student class for around 300 rounds, the only real issues were a bad gasblock, some kind of boogered up trigger, and super underwhelming accuracy (albeit, with Aguila M80 clone). Accuracy with mine has been pretty poor - need to borescope and assess copper in mine.

Probably the most embarrassing kindergarten shit I’ve ever read on this forum. Why would you do this to yourself? Anyway - I picked one up during the BF sale at the mistake price that Aero had the integrity to stand on. No magic revelations about the gun. It’s very nice for the price point, and...

You don’t seem to be measuring, but even if you were - hearing damage is a physical phenomenon. 140dB is not a hard-and-fast number, damage occurs below that point, and repeated exposure has a cumulative effect. In semi-automatics, port noise usually dominates muzzle blast. I’d wear your ear...

Light and short beats the pursuit of absolute suppression in a larger format can that will still require hearing protection, and negatively impact handling and harmonics. 5 inches and 8 ounces is transformational capability.

Nobody ever follows this advice, but the TBAC Ultra 5 is the best single center fire can to own. You’ll wear ears even when shooting suppressed - go with the 5” to take the edge off and don’t fuck with gun handling or excess gas.

LMT *enhanced* carrier with a Superlative block is peak gassing in 2023. Add in a JP gas ring for better functioning and seal. The LMT carrier has delayed/extended unlock and extra venting.

Update on my Craddock barrel, spun up on a Bartlein 400MODBB - it shoots. I’m not fantastic at printing bugholes, but at 100 yards, I printed four groups under 3/4”, in pretty quick succession (maybe 10 mins of shooting). I first undertook this project because my stock barrel would walk like...

Only if you do real shit with your guns. I carried a large frame for two years of Sniper Adventure Challenge - never again. $90 of gas block solves most of the rare functional problems people report.

Has anyone else noticed that there are at least two versions of the stock mag release and pin? I bought a replacement to fix a stubborn release, and the pin was significantly larger than the one in my original trigger pack.

I attended a Ruger/EOTech sponsored experience class at Range Ready Studios (Gun Talk) last month. Something like 15-16 SFARs brought out for students to shoot and take home as part of the course fee. Over two days and 200ish rounds of Aguila 150, there was one failure of an upper (looked to be...

Well, we got rained out, so I don’t have pretty groups to share (targets ripped), so we’ll have to wait another week here. I did notice that Norma shoots at least as well as Hornady, which was not the situation with the stock Sig barrel. More important for me than the absolute precision is...

The barrel from Craddock showed up, and I might have ended up with a bit more barrel than I bargained for. Still, a handy rig and excited to get it out.

Sig customer service advised that the “integral base mount” pictured on page 91 of the manual has been assigned a part number, but is not yet available. Based on the recent availability of the 0 MOA picatinny mount, the rep guessed it will be available “soon”.

I had some pretty serious heat drift issues with my original Sig barrel - issues persisted after a trip back for a barrel swap. I decided to stop messing around. Paul Craddock of Craddock Precision is working up a Bartlein 400MODBB barrel for me in 6.5 Creedmoor with an M24-ish profile. Will...
