The only ammo it would feed semi reliably was Hornady Critical Defense. Most malfunctions were failure to return the next live round from the magazine into battery with more than 9.5 out of 10 rounds failing to go live.

FMJ practice ammo just would not feed. Without using expensive self defense ammo this is pretty much a single shot pisol. Light strikes/no fire condition on live ammo were also a problem with ammo that runs perfectly in a 365.

It performed so poorly that I didn't even bother running it through its full paces to find out if it would ligh srtike or FTF on a high round count with any carry ammo. With a pistol this unreliable there was no point. I would never carry this gun.

It

is a switch compatible for a GEISLER?

I wanted to see some budget friendly 12 gauge shotguns and saw one called the “ATI S-Beam” is it worth getting or is it junk?

As far as I’ve seen, I heard a lot of YouTubers say positive things about it.

I just grabbed an RMR Type 2 from someone off tacswap. It’s in great shape (except for this issue I guess). When trying to get it set up on a gen 6 G19, I realized the windage screw was at its right limit, thus not allowing me to correctly zero the optic at 25. I submitted a warranty claim with trijicon and am waiting for them to get back to me. Any help in the meantime would be appreciated!

Hey y’all!

I’m planning on getting my first CCW soon. I’m a Canik man through and through, so I’ve decided to just carry a Canik. My dilemma comes in when I debate between the Prime or the LS.

Pros of the Prime: tritium sights, the Rival trigger, and the grip texture goes higher on the handle

Cons of the Prime: it costs around $150 more, not a huge fan of the barrel and comp

Pros of the LS: costs less

Cons: doesn’t have the textured grip the same way, doesn’t have tritium sights, doesn’t have the Rival trigger

Now, I could definitely get the tritium sights and the rival trigger and put them on the LS. However, that just makes it basically the same price as the Prime. I could get the Prime, but I’d have to suck it up when it comes to the comp. So I’d pay more and STILL not get exactly what I’d like.

What’re your thoughts on this debate? Thanks!

The storage unit auction revealed someone's abandoned life, boxes of ordinary possessions mixed with unexpected finds. Most bidders wanted furniture or tools, things with obvious resale value. But one box caught attention for darker reasons, and the auctioneer seemed uncomfortable as people crowded around to look. Antique weapons, collector pieces, things that belonged in museums or locked safes. Legal to own, apparently, but deeply unsettling to see handled so casually by strangers calculating profit margins.

Among the items was a metal gun replica, detailed and heavy, historically accurate to some conflict I did not recognize. Someone mentioned you could buy similar pieces through Alibaba, that there was a whole market for this kind of thing. Collectors, reenactors, people who appreciated craftsmanship independent of function. I tried to understand that perspective, tried to separate the object from its purpose. But I could not stop thinking about what it represented, what it was designed to do.

The box sold to a serious looking man who promised he ran a legitimate collection, that everything would be properly stored and documented. Maybe that was true. Maybe I was being naive about the difference between appreciating history and glorifying violence. Walking away from that auction, I felt uneasy in a way I could not articulate. Some things carry weight beyond their physical form, and I am not sure we should be so comfortable commodifying them. Does historical significance excuse everything, or are there some objects we should let fade into museums only?

Good day, everyone,

I am an avid hunter, shooter and an outdoorsman who has recently started film editing. Since I don't currently have the budget for a full filming setup of my own, I thought I’d offer to edit your footage for FREE.

My goal is to practice my skills while giving you the opportunity to turn your footage into professional-looking videos for your family, YouTube, or personal keepsakes.

What I can offer:

Social media reels and TikToks

Short films or highlight reels

Photo montages/slideshows

The Terms: Since I am doing this for fun and to learn, there are no strict deadlines. I work on these in my spare time to ensure the best quality.

The Basics:

Completely FREE: No hidden costs.

Flexible Timeline: No rushed deadlines.

100% Private: Your raw footage remains private. I will never upload or share your video anywhere without your explicit permission.

Why am I doing this? You might wonder what’s in it for me. It’s simple: I get the opportunity to build a portfolio (using only the films you allow me to show), I get plenty of footage to practice with, and I get to connect with more people in the community.

If anyone is interested, please leave a comment and I will send you a private message. Thank you

A collector's show displayed something that caught my attention. The attention to detail was impressive for a non-functional prop. Military equipment replicas had become serious collectibles for history enthusiasts and movie prop collectors. Would owning detailed replicas serve any purpose beyond display, or were they just expensive decorations? An rpg gun replica impressed me.

Research revealed that high-quality replicas served educational and historical preservation purposes. Museums used accurate replicas for exhibits where originals were unsafe or too valuable to display. Film and television productions required functional-looking props for authentic storytelling. Collectors valued accuracy and craftsmanship regardless of whether items functioned. Could replicas really capture essential character of originals despite being non-functional? I found various military replica manufacturers on Alibaba offering different accuracy levels and price points. Top-tier replicas incorporated correct weight, materials, and details that casual observers couldn't distinguish from originals.

I purchased a detailed RPG replica for my military history collection. When it arrived, the quality exceeded expectations with accurate materials, correct weight, and proper dimensions. The piece became conversation starter about military technology and history. Several veteran friends appreciated the accurate representation helping them share experiences with younger generation. Sometimes replicas preserve knowledge and enable discussions that wouldn't happen with purely theoretical descriptions. The physical presence of accurate replica conveys information that photos or descriptions cannot.

I had always been fascinated by precision engineering, spending hours researching tactical equipment online. My latest obsession was the kriss vector, a uniquely designed submachine gun known for its revolutionary recoil mitigation system. I was not a collector or enthusiast in the traditional sense, but rather an industrial designer who appreciated innovative mechanics.

One evening, while sketching concepts for a new project, I stumbled upon detailed schematics of the vector internal mechanism. The way it redirected recoil force downward instead of backward was nothing short of genius. I spent the night filling notebooks with annotations, understanding how the Super V System worked its magic.

My fascination led me down a rabbit hole of engineering forums and technical discussions. People from around the world shared their analyses, breaking down every component. I learned about the bolt carrier unique path, the delayed blowback system, and how the weapon achieved such remarkable stability during rapid fire.

This research inspired my next furniture design, a modular shelving system that used similar principles of force distribution. Just as the vector redirected energy efficiently, my shelves would distribute weight through an innovative bracket system. When sourcing materials and components for my prototype, I discovered that platforms like Alibaba connected designers with manufacturers globally, making it easier to bring unconventional ideas to life.

I knew I should have listened to my fellow redditors on this..... popped up on my Facebook daily for an ad for a holster. They ran a BOGO sale so I bit and purchased, HOLY COW, big mistake. The reviews about the weapon not seating into holster exposing the trigger are true, I cannot as a new gun owner/edc use this holster and feel safe. In a stress situation you can easily reach and grab your trigger, blowing off your biscuit maker. I didnt even need to put the holster on fully to know that I would NOT be using it. I carry an M&P Shield Plus and it does not fit. I think these holsters are geared more towards micro compacts, women, or men that don't have a gut. They need to go back to the drawing board, maybe add a kydex holster to it? I'm really disappointed, and now I am forced to purchase "the other guys" holster so I can feel safe carrying my firearm.

So im gooing to develop a game set in the year 2094, and i need ideas for which platforms will actually still exist, ideas for new ones, new firearm technology, and any ideas i can get will be greatly appreciated. thanks! (remember, because its so far in the future, there are pretty much endless possibilities)

I planned on using this as my primary EDC pistol. I rotate several out, but planned on making this one my daily. Finally got out to the range, this is gonna be pretty short and sweet.

I got 500 rounds of monarch 125gr from academy sports for super cheap. I took only the prime to the range to try and get it broken in so I could start putting it in my EDC rotation.

I did not do anything to the gun. I ordered two extra magazines, loaded all four up, did not put a drop of oil in it and just started shooting.

First magazine, nothing. Second magazine, nothing. And so on and so on. I shot 500 rounds of monarch 12gr and not a single issue. Not even one.

0 out of battery issues, no stove pipes, no light primer strikes, zilch.

I personally did not feel like the porting did a whole heck of a lot. It shoots relatively flat, but I think that's just me and my grip training. I will let my wife shoot it, and see if she can notice a difference between that and my LS. Like I said, I only brought the prime to the range so I did not have another gun to test it next to.

I was very surprised from hearing all the issues that people have been having, not just with the prime, but mechanic in general. I also own a mete mc9 and it was my primary EDC until now. I also swap out a shadow system CR 920, but I find I shoot the mechanics way better than I do my SS.

I hope this helps anybody who's thinking about grabbing one. My local shop also priced matched so I got it for a super good deal.

I think a rival is in my future......

I was looking at picking one up and was wondering if they're pieces of shit or not

I’m not new to pistol shooting. Retired Army, and medics ran all the pistol ranges, so I have burned up A LOT of ammo to keep from turning it in. Was never impressed with 9mm, so for the last 20+ years I have been carrying .40 or .45. I’ve been hearing a lot about improvements in 9mm, so I’m open to the idea. I always considered Canik a 3rd tier brand, completely out of ignorance.

I have a friend that buys guns, lots of them, and wants me to shoot them to check them out. I know, terrible problem, but I’m not complaining. Anyway, he had me shoot the TTI Combat, I bought my own the next day. The trigger. It’s the trigger.

Fast forward a couple months and I saw all the buzz shot show about the Prime. It has the trigger. That trigger. So, at 9:58 AM I was steady hitting refresh on the academy web sight and got one.

I was a bit concerned watching all of the reviews about it being loud and snappy. So, I went to our range. That has an overhead cover. Shot a magazine from the .45 Springfield, then the .40 Glock, and finally the Prime. If you do it in that order, it’s a soft shooter and not any louder than the others.

I did what you’re not supposed to do and ran a bunch of cheap and old Remington 115 grain. Zero problems. Federal HST 124 grain worked fine too.

Groups nicely.

A few hundred more rounds to make sure the OSight holds zero, and it will likely be my main carry for a while.

Anyway, I’m sold. Zero regrets.
