Vice Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Built by myself over the last few months. I think I'm happy with it now, shoots like a laser, handles well and I think it looks good. Maybe a stubby grip instead of the standard KA long grip. A longer version will be ready soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Though the holster isn't perfect I'm fairly happy with this setup. Now, how to remove the awful Oooomarex blurbs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SolidSnake73 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Woww , aweome one ! Congratulation , Enjoy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Though the holster isn't perfect I'm fairly happy with this setup. Now, how to remove the awful Oooomarex blurbs? in this case, if they're painted on over the tp, careful application of thinners and a toothbrush should minimise any wear to the body. Failing that, a dremel and soft plastic polishing head should fleck the paint off, again with minimal wear to the receiver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Theyre laser etched on bro, they're here to stay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 then black paint or at least colour matched is as close as you're going to get to pretending they're not there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Interficium Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Theyre laser etched on bro, they're here to stay. Acetone says hello. Granted, the finish won't exactly match the rest of the receiver afterwards, if you're stuffy about that sort of thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Acetone doesn't remove laser etching, because its ETCHED into the receiver material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 but it DOES remove the ghastly white paint and therefore make the trades near invisible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bando Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 try milliput ( i know but hear me out) water it down so its like mud fill the trades and then when dry sand it til its level then paint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I can't speak specifically for the Umarex MP7 trades, but I know that for most laser etching that I've seen, nothing shy of sanding them level will get rid of them. Unless Umarex have had them engraved, then filled with paint, Acetone's not going to do anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st_shooter Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just got my USP Tactical yesterday. Again I hate those stupid trades. 6mm cal WTF why am I paying for this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 HK - Compromise more like. Are there at least nice metal slides available for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan le Fou Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Umarex is a disgrace. They bought the rights, but they are not able to put the right markings. As for the metal slides there are not many left on the market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st_shooter Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 This slide wont stay pretty and perfect for long so I'm sure they can be worn/painted away fairly soon and will then look nice and abused. Shoots really hard on Ultra so Im sure this will be even nicer on Green/Red. I have filed down the front sight so it fits into my Fobus but plan on buying new night sights for it when funds allow.

validtumoralarm Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Still looks pretty mean. It's a shame there aren't some more holster options, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Could anyone with a 416 please do me a favour? Could I get the dimension shown in the pic below please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flynn353 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 hey 1st_shooter what holster is that your using with the usp tactical? cheers, Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noveske Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) hey 1st_shooter what holster is that your using with the usp tactical? cheers, Paul I believe that's the Blackhawk CQC Serpa. I'm actually surprised it fits the USP Tactical taller front sight Edited March 1, 2012 by Noveske 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flynn353 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 same here. i tried a clone cqc that my local retailer had recently, itseemed to fit but the retention didnt work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1st_shooter Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 hes filed it to fit Yes, Yes. And to confirm its a Blackhawk CQC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flynn353 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Cool thanks for the reply. Apologies if this is the wrong section/place butdoes anyone know if there is there a proper retention holster for the tactical that doesnt need modification? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1st_shooter Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I haven’t found any which Is why I modified it. Probably a custom made Kydex holster would work seen as these are moulded around the gun? I would buy a set of standard sites if I had the cash see as the only ones I can find around about $80 - night sights. If anyone has some bog standard ones spare please give me a nudge!! http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/gunsmodify-tritium-night-sight-for-ksc-usp-45-compact-gbb.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
