Anyone have any experience w/ these guns? I've found them the pistols to be reliable and trouble free and was looking into a 9mm carbine and would like opinions on this particular gun or discussion on any model.

wow...never seen one of those before. Looks interesting! Ive been thinking about purchasing a new pistol. I dont have any pistols and thought it would be the next piece to add to my gun cabinet. Currently looking at the Smith & Wesson M&P .40. Man is it sweet! Had to check one out in person Sunday when i went to Gander Mountain. I think i may have drooled a little... j/k

 

who makes the gun in the picture?

well as a lawenforcement officer i can say that i have seen them many times being carried by "Hood Rats",...most of the ones i have come across are the polymer models. Our gun nut at work said that they are basically cheap glock knockoffs. I cant say anything about the carbine though dont know...

I really don't understand the reasoning behind a 9mm carbine. It's a marginal pistol cartridge IMO (I have one, a Browning Hi Power), and I can't see how it can really be effective in a carbine. Our security force at work (Nuclear Power Plant) hated them, although a different brand. They told me they hated the round. A .223 (5.56mm) is a much better all around weapon. My opinion only of course, and "I want one" is the best reason I've ever heard for purchasing any gun. Buy what you want and enjoy.

Why people put their lives on cheap firearms is beyond me.  

 

Get a Glock, Sprinfield, Sig or Hk for defense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand what you're saying, but mine has always perfomed flawlessly. It could be more accurate but it has so far been an excellent weapon. I have only had it since last summer but I shoot about 200 rnds a month through it with no problems. I could get 4 9mm's for the price of a basic 1911. Plus an unconditional lifetime warranty no-questions-asked? Sell me another!

I'd say you got a decent one then.

 

One of the most fugly handguns that I've ever seen though.

 

I've fired several of them, each time there was feeding problems which could be related to a magazine issue.

 

 

Bottom line for a cheap junk truck/car/boat gun you can't go wrong if it's reliable! :)

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
