“Hitman” style VORSK VX-9 1911 GBB shooting to the left.

[Seagal99]

I’ve recently got the “Hitman” Vorsk vx9 1911 with the extended barrel silencer brand new from Patrol base. Tried shooting around 20 shots through it but it’s shooting quite heavily to the left with and without the silencer attached. Has anyone experienced anything like this and is there a simple solution I’ve missed? I.e more hop, more rounds through? I’ve been reluctant to do too much so far in case it needs returning.

A couple of years ago I bought the newly released Asia Electric (WE) Sig P320 (m17)

It did the same thing, badly designed and made hop unit which applied pressure at an angle instead of from direct top of the beeb

If you remove the inner barrel from the outer, apply 50% hop , then take a look through from the hop end, is it square vertically?

could be your outer barrel & rubber is slightly tilted to the side during assembly?

I've no experience with them, but you've done the right thing by not opening it up, I'd recommend you email patrol base & then follow it up with a phone call, if they recommend anything other than returning it, ask them to confirm their advice via return email, & should it still have an issue, insist on a full return for refund or exchange, depending on what YOU want. 

Unfortunately vorsk aren't known for qc, so it could be a one off lemon, or a generic issue with them ?

Yeah as you just got it new, may as well try a return for a refund or replacement.

 

I've had a pistol do the same from new but can't remember which one it was.

It should be easily fixable by checking the position of the hop as Enid_Puceflange said.

 

My Vorsk VX-9 shoots really well so its not a general problem with them.

Since it's new return it. It's a pain but you have paid for a gun that shoots properly.

 

Many here are well versed in gun fiddling so, like me would open it up and rotate the barrel, bucking etc.

Personally I think Vorsk/Raven/WE/Armorer Works 1911 hop units are just nigh-on useless. Is this just for the look or do you want to do some serious skirmishing with it?

Great. Thanks for the advice. I’ll try that and see what it looks like.  I didn’t want to go fiddling with it if it was a standard fix like firing a few more rounds through, especially as my tech knowledge is limited to taking guns apart and covering them in silicon spray and grease LOL

[Cr0-Magnon]

If you're covering it in silicone spray, that may be the issue ?

But if you grease the bb's they go faster down the barrel, free fps upgrade hack.

 

This is a jest......

[Sewdhull]

I think gun instructions still show silicone sprayed in the hop as a cure for issues...

Yeah when I say covering that might be a bit miss leading. I spray the mag rubber bits and the slide/ contact points. I don’t spray in the barrels or hop. Basically my maintenance skills are basic and from YouTube.

Mostly for target pinking, but want it to be useable for playing definitely.

Forgive me if this is a silly question but, you have cleaned the barrel haven't you?

Hi mate I have the exact pistol & had the same thing 👍 take out the inner barrel & hop & turn the hop to full 👍 then look down it & you will see it's not square 🙁 you will need to strip the hop & just tweak the hop arm with a pair of pliers a little at a time 👍 but be careful not to bend it too hard or you will break it 👍 Hope this helps M8 👍
