I am a remorseful buyer of a MR 920 elite. I bought it brand new. And had issues with it immediately out of the box, initially chalked it up to break in issues. 600 rounds later, the problems with light striking, and the gun not going into battery still kept happening. I shipped it to shadow systems using an FFL, the gun was gone for 3 1/2 weeks without any update on whether it made it there or not. The gun then came back the paperwork saying it had a bad firing pin, took it back to the range and instantly had the exact same problems all over again…….within shots. I tried calling for a refund and they told me they’d want to look at the gun again so now I am shipping it to them for a second time to see if they can actually do the job correctly this time. I don’t think they’re going to buy it from me, unfortunately. So I am going to sell it and do what I should’ve done in the first place. Get the HK.
Oh shit man, I hate to see that. I hope that one way or another, they get you sorted out. I’d be pissed after spending nearly a grand on a gun only to get a lemon. I’ve been there before and I remember how crappy that feels. Best of luck on it and which HK are you considering?
I own Elite and daily carry. Selling points to me were reliability, out off box extras and weight or lack off it. Ability to add most any red dot site if you want the correct way and high quality night site.
I went with the shorter, non-comped base model Micro. My thought was that the comp cuts in the slide would be dirtier and potentially allow foreign objects to enter the gun in a field setting. I could be wrong, but that was my reasoning. Also, since I've been shooting tiny micros for the past 12 years or so without issue, I didn't see a need to have a comp on a carry gun. I considered picking up a G19 MOS (for better capacity) or a G43X MOS (for its size), but the PSA pretty much negated both of those in terms of size, capacity and price. It was the perfect combination of features that I was looking for and still offered the simple mechanical Glock design, that allows for single-tool disassembly, easy maintenance and a huge aftermarket. I got the pistol, a few mags, a red dot, holster and a couple boxes of ammo for the price of a Glock. It's my primary EDC.
Bought my px4c stock and did all the ltt treatments to it as I didn't want to send it in and the stock action was great, doing all the ltt stuff took it to an amazing gun. Between the bull barrel, rotating barrel, and tjiab w/match hammer it shoots faster and better than my 92x cetnurion with all ltt parts. Just ordered the dlah plate to test out optics on my 92 before sending them both off for the ltt cut.
It's a P365 xmacro comp. Eh, I'd rather have the full barrel length. Velocity is more important. This isn't a competition gun and that to me is the only use for porting. I don't think shaving 2/10's of a second off your spit times helps in a defensive shooting.
Can’t really argue with you there. I can’t think of any data that shows split times in a defensive shooting was a major factor. It must play into some at some point, but who knows. For me, I like having a ported carry gun because I want my shots to be as accurate as they can be under any circumstances. So if I do make the decision to followup quickly, I’d like to have that additional aid helping me do that to the best of my ability at the time. But is it making a life or death difference from a stock gun? Almost surely not. And that’s why I felt it was important to discuss the fact that ports do not replace skill. Training and practice will yield far better results in speed & accuracy than modifying the gun.
@@AtoZEDCreviews I'm not good enough for it to make a difference, lol. It would be like me handing you a $600 driver and if you never played golf, it would not change your score 1 stroke. :) I appreciate the video anyway. It is always good to learn a new perspective.
I've been using a Dango aluminum & leather wallet with pen and pad of paper built into it. I still can't leave the house without a folder in my back pocket and a fixed blade horizontal on my belt so I never felt the need to put one in my wallet.
And this is the reason I carry a separate pocket organizer for EDC stuff and cards: there are just to many social situation where you just do not want to bring up a pack with a knife visible
@@vv1nst0n luckily, mine is never visible. I keep that side turned towards me and cover it with my hand if I feel that need. And even if it’s seen, it’s just a little slipjoint. Not intimidating to anyone.
I was a "Glock guy" for a very long time... and never really thought I'd get a different make of handgun. But when I saw the OA2311, I knew I had to have one. And now I have two. And I want another. I also have a Staccato, and it is a great handgun. But if I had to choose between the 2311 or the 2011 to take into a "situation", the 2311 would be my choice. Every time. These guns are excellent and on another planet when compared to the mushy Glock trigger.
The market definitely needs more no-date automatics under $500. Most I have bought over past 5 years have been from Ali Express, so made in 🇺🇸 is awesome!
Think I’d have a hard time choosing it over a turtle, even with the sapphire crystal. However, I do like the fact that it’s made in the USA, and the amount of testing it seems to go through before it’s sold is awesome
I definitely think the King Turtle is an excellent watch, I just wish it was 1-2mm larger. So this really ends up suiting me better. And yes, I agree that all of the uplevel stuff they do really make this a serious competitor to some pretty big names.
Yeahhhh, no lol. No watch guy is taking a smartwatch seriously. Great for gadgety people and tech people, but a watch guy wants a timepiece, not a computer on the wrist. I did a smartwatch for a short time even though I knew I would hate it, I regret ever even trying it.
@@porchjoe yes it’s a Glock magazine but I wasn’t referring to the magazine. I was answering your question directly. Glock manufactures the baseplate. I bought mine in a retail store, I’m sure you can order online from a dozen places.
You talking about the importance of having redundancy in safeties. Me still wondering how on earth anyone thinks the P320 is a smart idea. Literally the same thing as carrying the P226 DA/SA with the hammer back. Yet i can't find a single person who would say thats a good idea. Seriously same pull length +/- a mm, and +/- a 1 lbs on pull weight. Better drop safety even. So Sig going to offically tell ppl go ahead carry that 226 da cocked? "Just need a proper holster, man" 😂😂
I agree, I sold all my P320s after the first wave of accidental booms. Back when they were firing from dropping. Sig claimed it was inertial due to the mass of the trigger shoe. So they were long gone from my collection before the new wave of problems came out (which I feel is more dangerous than before). I won’t own a P320 ever again.
@@AtoZEDCreviews absolutely agree. I still have my 320 axg. Which is why im watching this. Plan to trade out my 320 365 and a CZ scorpion. I've carried a 226/227/220 now 20 years. Curious would you go with this 2311 or p229 sa? My 226 is $2500 gun with all the AC and GG improved parts. So by the time i get a 229 to the level of the 2311 i have just as much in it.
Good review. I have a few Arkfields - they are good but the form factor on this one seems better. Fun fact - the "mode switch' and operations on the trust trust fire is 100% identical to the O-light Baldr Mini weapons light. A little Ironical
I had a g19 I replaced the mag catch to an extended metal one even when my mags got boogers up they seated and held and I had thousands of rounds through it I wasn't easy on it I dont think it'll be a major issue and you should be inspecting your mags regularly anyways so you should catch it before it becomes an issue
Shadow Systems has their own compensator that goes onto their threaded barrel, it’s a bit longer and not as good looking as the Radian compensator but it’s at a fraction of the price and it works just as good. I’ve used both the Shadow Systems and the Radian comps and they shoot damn near identical, the only difference is price and length. My SS MR920 is for “cold weather” edc because of the added length of the comp and the polymer frame and my CZ P-01 is carried the rest of the year and that thing is an absolute BEAST, the SS doesn’t even compare because I’ve turned it into essentially a small carry race gun with a dot. But the SS is a great alternative to Glocks and the trigger is slightly better out of the box, I’ll be putting a Ramm Tactical trigger in it soon to try out something new.
I have the MR-920 War Poet with a TLR-1HL and the 507C optic it comes with. This is my first handgun I’ve purchased recommended by my brother. I love the feel and the build quality of it. I have only 200 rounds through it so far, and I have had no issues but I do have a question. Would anyone recommend me changing the barrel out for the one on his gun? It looks nice and the compensator is cool, but I’m worried about being limited on holsters. Thanks for reading.
Two years ago, after being on the Glock platform since ‘99, I sold them all, and replaced them with five Shadow Systems guns from the discontinued Combat line, two of them MR920’s, a DR920, an XR920, and a CR920. (The latter I bought used at the same Scheels you bought your MR920 from). All of them, except for the CR, have the smallest grip attachment, simulating a 1911 grip angle. I have ZERO regrets about switching from Glock to Shadow Systems. We’ll disagree on the PMags, but excellent review.😎✌️
I brought the mr920l and never looked because of the warranty, i was not a fan of the mags ,but they run fine the slid is just a little longer, but i have no problems ccw with a holison 507c and a tlr7 light and these guns fit the glock 19 holsters mine was made by teir i with a spare mag ,and the only people that know i have it know i pack daily ,even to the toilet ,cause why inter fear with a good dump just waite till you past the door to the thrown 😂
