That’s a lot of high tolerance pieces and moving parts in a hand gun... and not a revolver which is always a bad thing. Simi auto pistols always produce lots of carbon because of the blow back operated system. Can’t get away from it. More moving tight spaces for that carbon to be blasted into, the more failure issues you’ll see over all. Less parts= more accuracy and less breakdowns. More parts- mo’ problems.
It's also designed as a competition gun, not an everyday carry or a service pistol. It isn't going to be in a holster on your hip everyday, it's going to be clean and well-maintained in an expensive carrying case until the competition. Also really? I like revolvers but they're not the most reliable or serviceable handguns on the market. I'd say that would be a 1911. You sound more like a Fud than most Fuds. And I tend to like Fuds 🤣
TheSololobo C’mon, Czechs sell CZ75 style pistols with 1970s technology for that price. Since there’s nothing like Alien on the market, they can price them how they want and they will still sell like hot cakes.
Pay for all the patents and the production in a small company that didn't run to huge firearm companies to mess up their vision. At the same time, a certain position on the market can increase the worth of the product. Diamonds are just valuable cause they sit on tons of them instead of pushing them on the market
i just got mine and early experience says you can dump 17 rounds as fast as you want with no heat problems. But the Swiss youtuber showed a video where he dumped 3 back to back to back and it was probably too hot to realistically continue using. But this is for me a competition pistol and therefore not something I care about.
So it's straight blow back? And probably requires tuning with the springs to your ammo? I would be a buyer if they replaced one of the springs with a gas port and piston like the HK P7 series. That single change would allow a whole family of guns in different calibers.
You don’t have to change anything. It’s competition ready out of the box. Unlike b.s CZ Shadow2 (they call it competition gun) but you have to polish and change some of the trigger parts, change the springs even change the hammer or have it done by custom shop and pay $200-400.
This gun is really supersport! That's why, this gun isn't for every day carry or combat shooting. Need cleaning and oil and you have to choose good munitions for perfect work.
The muzzle velocity must be greatly reduced by this type of gas system. Has anyone chronoed the muzzle? It’s great for competitions since it bleeds away the actual power of the round. :)
for gas blow back maybe but gas delay? the extra volume of gas is held in a tiny chamber with less volume than a pistol with a longer barrel would have. I doubt it has significant impact on velocity.
