mimesis

The trigger of course has the built-in safety like the Glock, and it works fine. When the gun is cocked, there's about 2mm of slack/take-up in the trigger motion before it breaks. The break iitself is clean. Other things I like: the grip with the medium backstrap--works well for me. The three large white dots on the sights. The significant recoil even on duster.

The new generation of TMs, the 5-7, the PX4 and the XDM, are designed to work with duster, and TM have improved these models to work particularly well. For this reason, when you start putting green gas in them, nasty things can happen. I'm sure people have plenty of stories about using these models for 1000s of rounds on green gas. If you put a heavy metal slide on, and perhaps a metal barrel, things change a bit too. In addition to which it appears that the XDM is not as well buffered as the PX4. At the end of the day, though, you can get excellent performance using a stock TM XDM on dus

What gas were you using?

Seems like you were right. The PRS2 sniper stock is about to be released. It's up on the PTS site (kind of) and a couple of HK stores are beginning to advertise it. Appears to come in the black and the tan. Looks like the longer handguard and the longer barrel will trickle out in the second half of the year.

Why doesn't that show up here? http://echigoya-guns.com/guns/index.php?route=product/search&keyword=xdm

PGC slide on a GUARDER FRAME--I wonder which part was to blame......

You might want to get an opinion from someone who knows their way around r.s. SIG-Sauers. P226s have been around for a long time, so my guess is that at some point in their history a design change was made, that is reflected (in part) in that cut-out near the firing pin.

Just to reiterate my own experience. Type 1 fits in a PGC MBK slide and a Prime MBK slide. I believe the difference is design between type 1 and type 2 has to do with changes in design on the r.s. P226 over the years, and not with airsoft fitment. The type 2 has a bigger cut out on the plate that surrounds the firing pin. It will barely be noticeable when fitted.

If the slides are different sizes, what does this say about transferring internals (BBU, etc.) from WE/HK to aftermarket (such as PGC or Prime) which are closely modelled on TM originals? Is it just the external measurements? Or? BTW, I think you'll find all the Prog4 slides are O/S. Captain KK is focussing on 2011s these days. Also, I think it's the other way round, with Prog4 as the OEM for AS (=Clarence Lai).

Is this the disconnector? Which side of the gun is it on?

At 7 pm last night (11 pm GMT), wasn't even able to get on forum--just got unable to display webpage message. This happened to me also twice on Friday. I thought the website was down. At 11 pm last night (3 am GMT) just sat there on news page and totally unresponsive.

As AR15s are the Barbie dolls of the rifle world, why not embrace the modularity and try out different things that work for you--ergonomically and/or aesthetically? A couple of mine that haven't been issued to any national armies. But then I also tried this. Inspiration: Mine:

When I bought the Prime kit from Boom Arms, I also got the only firing pin they had on their website, which turns out to be a type 1. I tried sliding it into place on my PGC silver Sig and it seemed to be fine, but I didn't install screws and didn't cycle the slide. It's installed in the Prime kit pictured above. It went in without any problem. When cycling the slide, the hammer did hang up very very slightly on the angled bit at the bottom, that acts as a kind of extension of the bump on the BBU, but after a little while it settled down. I can see some mild filing being needed in some

Nice trades!! Wouldn't you prefer one of these?

Look! The SPR really is coming, within the next few? several? months. Going to be on show at the Airsoft Expo at the beginning of June.

They are very nice grips, a bit more aggressive than you'd expect from this kind of checkering (G-10 is hard). They are decidedly not a drop-in install on E2, either TM stock or Prime MBK. More details here. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/203558-tm-p226-e2-with-creation-slide-or-prime-kit-anyone-tried-them-yet/ Much easier fit for standard P226s, I would imagine, which is, after all, what they're designed for, But the real steel Sig E2 grips won't work on airsoft (hammer strut difficulties), and I wanted something different to the stock TM E2 ones.

Got new grips for one, so its grips went to another.

TM E2 with Prime MBK, Prime firing pin, and Hogue G10 grips.

Yup. PIG hydro with velcro. Good unit. Mayflower quad shingle, backstraps are placed/designed to attach to 6-across molle. Otherwise mostly EI.
