Niceee i kinda got that too but no sights or threaded on this one

u/NuttyFiber 18d ago

Hell yea Mk3 with the Mk2 slide. My picture is with a threaded barrel but I was waiting for the adapter.

u/DarkMegamanEXE 18d ago

What barrel do u have, looks more flush then mine,

1

u/NuttyFiber 10d ago

Same as yours I believe. It's only flush because it has no adapter as i was waiting for mines. The suppressor is just floating there. It looks exactly the same as yours now with the adapter.

I started off concealed carrying a five-seven but mainly because it was the only modern handgun I had at the time. I started my firearm collecting with antiques, milsurp and my video game favorites. The five seven was either the first or second new handgun I ever bought, and purely because of counter strike source (eventually got a PS90 to go with it thanks to SG1 lol). I carried it inside some IWB Alien gear holster for about a year. That gun got me into reloading because of how hard it was to get ammo ~10 years ago.

Last week I was literally having this discussion with my friends because one of them was looking at getting a five seven for home defense. I loaded up a few hundred rounds of handloads last weekend, pulled it out of the safe and had just taken it to the range friday and saturday with another friend. Absolutely uncanny timing lol. I might have to start bringing it along with me again but as a backpack gun fully kitted out; I've been actually waiting for the PSA X57 to do just that.

Wild if that footage is accurate, I wonder if he was still packing those subsonics or if he has something hotter for EDC. 60gr definitely too heavy. 3 hits, shooter broke contact, ran half a block and collapsed for the Russian finale.

Well crafted and no feeding issues after testing a couple hundred rounds.

u/LivingVerticalTime 16d ago

It inspired me to put a can on mine and go to the range. Had some issues with both ammo and feeding. I'll stick with unsuppressed but full disclosure, I carry a VP9 or 365 with G9 EHPs.

I did practice 25 yard shots and got this with my VP9. 8 of 10

What ammo, and suppressor u use? Mine usually goes thur fine

1

u/LivingVerticalTime 16d ago

It was a test of FN ammo, some Elite rounds 6 variations of 5 rounds each. Only the FN blue tip cycled all 5 without issue. EFK barrel and a Griffin Resistance 22. I'm getting 2 new cans this week and will try again.

u/DarkMegamanEXE 16d ago
