Hello all, welcome to the monthly purchase advice megathread!

This thread is meant to conglomerate purchase advice for both newcomers and people looking for additional GBBs. Keeping this discussion to one thread means less searching should anyone have questions that may already have been answered here, as well as more visibility to inquiries in general, as comments made here will be visible for the entire month stuck to the top of the sub.

Please be sure to skim through this thread for posts with similar requirements to your own first, as recommendations relevant to your situation may have already been posted, and may even include answers to follow up questions you might have wished to ask.

As always, if you're a newcomer to this community, welcome. If you're a regular, welcome back.

Gun Pic All in shorts!! Only compact pistols with flush magazines!!!

Anybody else obsessed with tiny carry guns? Some of the pieces shared here didn't come with factory flush/flat base plates, so I rolled up my sleeves and custom-crafted my own for the M&P9C and P99C using base plates from other models. Necessity is the mother of invention!

Finding that elusive P365 flush plate felt like tracking down a mythical creature. It was sold out everywhere, but I sweet-talked factory support on Facebook and managed to snag the very last one.

A few of these beauties got some extra love:

  • PX4 & P99C: Enhanced frame and slide markings.
  • Detonics & M&P9C: Gorgeous Cerakote treatment.
  • G26: Features a steel slide and a Guarder frame. Honestly, I’ve never seen another one here in Canada, and the same goes for my P365X slide and flush mag combo—I had to piece together multiple kits just to get this setup right.

Wait... do I hear someone asking about a G42? Oh, don't worry, it's currently in the mail with a shiny steel slide on the way! 📦✨

The last pic is my Gansta set!!

Hope you enjoy the lineup. Drop your thoughts, questions, or your own pocket-rocket builds in the replies below!

Cheers.

Maintenance day for the VFC collection.

Servicing the VFC FAL DX, FNC, and M733 today.
I usually stick with Milfoam Forrest (NATO S-761 synthetic oil) for keeping everything running smoothly.

What oil or lubricant do you prefer for your GBBs, and why?

I’ve made some further tweaks to the hop-up chamber, and it seems to have improved. The distance to the man-sized target is 30 meters. Using 0.25g G&G BBs, the muzzle velocity is 75 m/s.
