    Boomarms Airsoft

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Have spent £££’s with BoomArms , never an issue so I’d say just chalk it up as blip , annoying yes , but I’d perhaps of give them a little more time given their excellent track record with my own personal orders . 

     

    also , I never order anything from HK I need urgently ( which is nothing because it’s just airsoft stuff ) and never expect an Amazon prime service ?? .

    Thanks, appreciate your response

    im looking at buying from Kydex customs the only other thing I probably should have mentioned above is im left handed so not the everywhere does suitable holsters.

     

    the flashlight I’m using is a genuine O-light PL turbo Valkyrie - very nice light. 


    I think your best possible chance of happiness is pistol & light specific but I appreciate that’s an expensive game to play ! 
     

    I would perhaps email them a list of the pistols you want to fit in the universal holster type and see what they say ?

    There’s kydex and then there’s kydex and I would always reccomend a holster that is pistol specific , the “universal” options are always a compromise and are usually the least secure . 
     

    first up , make sure it is kydex , not just molded plastic , most proper kydex holsters will also have a tension adjuster ( nuts and bolts with rubber in between ! ) 

    Also bear in mind most proper holsters are sized for the genuine pistol and light , airsoft pistols and clone lights can sometimes be out of spec and again cause fitting issues .

     

    for me , for a light bearing holster it’s Safariland , for simple pistol only it’s either a genuine BHI Serpa or leather pancake style ( BHI / Galco ) 

     

    Ive had a couple of deadly customs kydex holsters and tbh wasn’t impressed , one didn’t fit the pistol and light it advertised at all , the other just didn’t have enough retention adjustment and was a poor fit around some of the controls .

     

    these are just my opinions / experiences , others will vary .

    measurement needed - non threaded M9

    Across three berettas ( TM based) 

     

    Guarder steel outer barrel 14.6mm 

    Tokyo Marui m9 standard plastic - 14.8mm

    tokyo Marui m9a1 , standard but “chrome” finish - 14.9mm 

     

    the laylax fitting you have linked is a compression type ( like a plumbers fitting with an olive washer ) so it should fit a few different brands , how secure though could be anyone’s guess but I’d imagine a smear of thread lock would do the job.

    ?

     

    Just what i read somewhere, no idea the ins and outs or truth of it. Don't have any TM gas guns so no first-hand experience.


    I’ve had no problems running standard TM pistols on Green gas in nearly 20yrs , in the height of summer you might want to drop down a bit . All my converted TM pistols run happily on propane . 

     

    YMMV .

    I really want one. I bought an Umarex CO2 one but it didn't function right. Ergonomically and aesthetically i really liked it and still want one. There's an Umarex green gas one i'm tempted by.


    in my experience if you want functional , the least amount of fuss and most amount of upgrade parts  I’d stick with TM or at least TM based & compatible . 

     

    however , that is just my experience ??
