Knobitch ssp18 apparently , that threaded barrel/extension may make focus holsters an issue as on the light bearing models they use a spigot that sits in the muzzle, in addition to a trigger guard snap lock ?

Nothing increases range and fps better than a nice paint job ? Plus it's monetary value skyrockets ? All jokes aside though, if I bought a brand new gun, whether it was a £120 cyma or & £600 recoil, if it then needed money spent degreasing or shimming etc, I'd be returning it to the retailer as "not fit for purpose", for either a full refund or the issues to be corrected.

If it works, just use it until it doesn't, use the time between those two points to gain the knowledge to enable you to sort most problems when or if they occur. I've personally never used a "tech", & given some of the horror stories I've heard over the years, I probably never will.

When it stops being fun ! Simples

I used sad face cos "you had to say it" ? To be honest it's been probably 18+ years since I stopped using textile holsters with the kinds of pistol that have the potential to dump mags, if I remember correctly I lost 2 G19 mags in 2 weeks, but I can't actually remember if back then I had a taclite fitted, probably not ?

I've also got 2 of those, 1 black & 1 dyed green, but to be honest I've barely used them, as like many material holsters they don't fit well with all pistol designs, they can dump mags without your knowledge, so the only pistols I'd 100% recommend them with would be those that have a mag release on the actual mag well base, such as a Ruger mk1 or similar. Where possible I always recommend hard shell or 3d printed holsters to prevent mag loss

Quick search didn't come up with anything, might be worthwhile trying to find a 3d printed option, or maybe a usw type kit that can be fitted to yours. Or maybe a black hawk omnivore or one of the nuprol EU light bearing series might fit. Unfortunately your pistol is relatively rare in use, even less so with a light fitted, so finding someone who's already overcome your problem is unlikely, only alternative is to take the pistol & light in to a retailer that stocks the holsters I've mentioned, again not necessarily feasible. Best option, find an online retailer that will take a holster back if it doesn't fit your setup ?

Probably some point over next couple of weeks, if I'm honest I'm doing my best to get out of it, but if all else fails I'll make it worthwhile, book a travel Inn & get a last minute game in.

Probably rules both out then? Sounds really wimpy, but I'm like a dalek when it comes to stairs or steep inclines at the moment, pissing me off, I used to be like feckin mountain goat ?

Hey guys, the wife wants me to travel up to Redditch (approx 200 miles from me) to collect something for my granddaughter, obviously I told her she's effin barmy, & her reply was "you'd do it for an Airsoft game", which got me thinking, is there an absolutely epic Airsoft site near there, or on the way that I could hit up & make the trip worthwhile ? I'll be travelling up from the South Kent coast, only thing I can't do is stairs or "hilly" due to my bolloxed knee.

How so ? No issues with mine cycling etc, & accuracy is good, bearing in mind that I have 2 tm hi-capas to compare it to.

I've got the korth, lovely looks & feel, plinked a bit in the garden but I've yet to skirmish it so I'll have to get to you on that.

LOL, they've got some front, considering their past history. ?

In much the same way that my old Mercedes sprinter van would perform, half empty it struggle to keep the pace when you hit an incline on the motorway, but fully laden it was like a missile, nothing could slow it down (not even the brakes lol) ?

Sounds very cool, uber expensive & super rare I'm guessing ?, & probably no good for an aeg project build ? #MeToo

What's the Ruger Mini-14 ?

Space 1999 was essential viewing on a Saturday morning for me........ (think I fancied the bird that could shape change?)

Babylon 5, wasn't that a kinda US equivalent of "our" Blake 7 ?, but with a bigger budget & better props ? ?

Depends on what side of the trigger your on ?

About time I reckon ?, its got boring as f#ck?
