20 inch shooting Hornady Black 168gr A-max runs good and does 1” to 1 1/4” three shot groups, running on setting 2. I hunt with mine so three shot groups is all I need to see. I have about 70 rounds through it. REM 150 CL was at about 2 1/2”, Hornady Whitetail 150 was about the same. Rifle Line 150 about 3”. All three shot groups at 100 yards. I have more ammo coming to test. I did put in an H2 buffer to see if there was any difference and it may be just a tad smoother, seems like it. Also adding a CMC trigger and then I think it will be perfect for me. It’s gonna do a number on hogs and deer. 😬

i have to do this in a swampy forest and its worked great. I wish i had a range like this. looks very professional.

im suprised it cannot cycle sub sonic as well. i have an hp22a that cycles anything i put into it. im looking to buy a mamba either way but i gotta find the fix for it to work subsonic

Just ordered my SFAR, waiting for it to ship from Buds, I've watched wayyyy too many SFAR YT videos, appreciate your concise comments and range video. I gotta go suppressed once I get it here in Florida like most shooting enthusiast I've watched. Great shooting table, then I saw your sitting on taped cardboard, now that funny!

try the steel frame version

What was the twist rate on your barrel?

Is it hearing safe? I have a Dead Air Wolfman and am looking at a PC Charger

Bubble literally came out are you dumb?

Still the best rig for running?

What am I doing wrong with this belly band? The grip sticks out far and not only prints like crazy, but my shirt gets caught on the protruding grip while trying to drawer

That shit prints heavy. Trail run, sure. Run through urban? Idk might as well just use a chest rig and pretend you’re only carrying a phone in it.

get the thicker Magpul butt stock pad. It helps a lot with felt recoil. 175 grain ammo seems to work best with mine. 150 grain just runs way too hard on setting 2.

Great review. I am looking for a belly band. Thanke to your video. I think I found the best. At least for me. I am small. 5-8" printing and rapid access are 2 big deals for me, as well as negligent discharge. I appendix carry, & can not afford a negligent discharge. None of us can.-Thank you-Take care.Lets pray we never have to use these in a real life situation.

Thanks for the review. Appreciate you showing retention. That is what I was most concerned about. Seems to be solid enough for sure.

I think that one would need to have several more groups to give a higher confidence interval than just 2 groups per ammo types.

Yup!

Great video- Thanks! I did everything you did and the trigger pull is better, but still not good enough. I'm going to go back and do a better job polishing and see how that works.

My ONLY issue with the belt is that the area behind the holster isn't big enough to keep the grip off my skin. If/when they ever remedy that, I'm buyin one FOR SURE! 😉

Nice job. That’s a fun stage and one you can really shave time.

Awesome review. I if I get one will I be able to run 3 miles, too?

When i first tried this ammo from IMI, it was a few years ago, and it consistently tested 100-200fps slower than Black Hills, and the Corbon MPR that they used to make back in the day(both with TMKs.) My friend ended up shooting my chrono at 300yds with an M1A(despite me telling him not to, as he's not really a big "gun guy" or regular shooter) so I can't test it myself, but it would appear that the two are very similar based on your experience. Also, what was the barrel length on your rifle, and which can? I dont know if its my chamber, or my can(OSS 556K), or what, but my go to rifle, which is only 12.5", would consistently provide velocities of just over 2700fps(like 2710 maybe.) The suppressor adds 40-55fps for me.

I have both the Blackhawk stache nacho is much better.

Buying a 4inch tomorrow…any good threaded barrels for this set up?

It’s a fine pistol but not as good as the PPQ that it replaced … so I’m a bit confused.

Dammmn, cant wait for mine to show up :)

M-AH-M-Buh not Ma'am-buh Followers are the same by the way

Having not held one in my hands yet, I'm not entirely convinced that this is the best method for utilizing the thumb release system. I'm sure it's fine for competition shooting, but to use it for what it is intended for... having an extra layer of retention to prevent someone else from taking your gun... the way this system works seems to me that it would be far too easy for someone to disengage that thumb lock without even intending to do so. Their thumb falls right where it needs to be, and their natural instinct would be to squeeze their fingers around the grip, meaning it's very likely their thumb will activate that release without even knowing it's there. I'd like to see some testing done with it, to see how effective it really is in that regard. At least with the push-down versions, you have to make a dilberate action to release the mechanism. That feels more secure to me than this method. 5.11 used to offer a thumb release holster made by Blade Tech that had the push down system. I have a pair of those and they work great, similar construction to this one. Unfortunately they don't appear to make those anymore. Fobus has a similar push down thumb release holster that they still make, but it's only available for Glocks. I'm a fan of the level II thumb release holsters in general, I like seeing more offerings available. I'm just not sold on this design yet.

By cutting the spring you didn’t make it lighter. You made it heavier. Think about it. The only thing you should have done is polish the hammer and sear. If the contact point is smoother the hammer will just slide like butter on the sear. That will in turn lighten the trigger pull.

Great setup with the DPP.. I think that is what I will go with on my PDP.. I see you have a holster for it where do you recommend getting a nice kydex at?

I just got mine last Sunday and I have been looking everywhere for that key for the gas regulator but I never thought checking inside the dam grip. Thanks for that!!! I was about to go tomorrow and buy one 😂

Went on Amazon. They only sell the belt NOT the holster

Sgammo better priced

Sh*+! That's quiet!

Great setup if you don't have a larger body type. Maxim stretched length they offer is 47". My belly is 44, I wasn't comfortable to only have 3" to go over and secure the holster. I ordered a modular holster for my 43x and tried with my existing Comort Tac belly band which is longer and it works great. I did however sew a couple of pieces of 4" velcro in places to position it how I wanted it

I wonder if you have to clean the band/holster often and what that looks like. Is it just let dry and wipe with a wipe or somthing? I imagine running you get it salty and such.

I was looking for a velcro backed holster and I ended up buying the whole kit because the prices of the kit is close to the price of most stand alone holsters.

Polishing the contact points reduced my pull weight from about 5.5 to 4.5 lbs. No changes done to the springs except for repositioning the magazine disconnect spring to disable it. Most noticeable improvement is that formerly gritty trigger is now smooth, and I got to learn more about my gun. Nice video

Not to mention it also feels top heavy as well

I just received this holster yesterday..when you draw it looks as if the gun comes out easy.mine does not,either it doesnt come out or it will pull the band up as well..is there a break in time on the kydex holster?any suggestions?

Nice. Very pleased with my 16". 300+ rounds only 1 time it didn't hold open on last shot with M80 on setting #2. Otherwise no issues. Very good accuracy with everything respectively. Thank you.

The rumor is that the 20” rifles were not affected just the shorties.

Excellent video - thank you for posting. I'm wondering if you've seen the VNSH holster belly band and have any thought on a comparison between the two?

Can anyone recommend size?im a i wear 34 in jeans..would medium work or should i go with a large?

Great review señor, thank you.

I’m in Texas, so I understand the heat. It wouldn’t be bad for short trips to the store and such, but I wouldn’t want to wear it all day.

The nice thing is, you don’t have to adapt to anything just because someone else has a preference. Like you point out with vehicles, we have many options with handgun design. I’m more than capable of effectively using a paddle style mag release, but my preference is a more traditional, by today’s standards, button release next to the dominant thumb. Personally, I find it far more efficient and facilitates maintaining a better grip while changing magazines. It’s great that we have so many options where the individual can find. What works best for them.

You must keep in mind SFAR rifles have many reliability issues..?.if you have the time and the money fill your boots.

They should have kept the paddle release like the PPQ. I love my PPS V1.

Mine won't fully run on setting 2, I'm at 140 rounds through it, at 200 rounds, setting 2 better work, or ruger here it is, fix it

What a beaut
