I have a digi-sense temp strip on all my barrels and shot my Proof past 140 and it held firm. |

I had heard the CAs had heat issues, but not the Proof barrels.

We just got M&P 2.0s with ACRO P2s at work and I've been shooting mine a lot teaching our transition class. I really like them.
But I did just get my Staccato P today so..GBPSE |

Can't wait to get this P on the range. Took the armorers class this week too, Staccato is a great company. |

armorers class?
I picked up a new main spring I'd like to try and learn to tweak to get the trigger lighter. Any tips? CS looks amazing as well. |

View Quote The class might be an LE thing for working on duty guns. Taught us just enough to not void the warranty I’m sure. I wouldn’t touch main spring unless you really know what you’re doing, my two cents. They didn’t go over that tho, talk to factory if you really want it. Shot the instructor’s CS, recoil feels less than my C2. I’m sure I will buy one some day, realistically sooner than later. The grip is same length as my C2 so you don’t have to worry about a pinky hanging off the end like a 365/G43. |

I'm liking the Staccato. Have close to 1K through it.
Looks like you have a nice private range there! |

How’d the 6arc do?

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

Only objective was to obtain zero and run the modified break-in as I was limited on time. There are some pics on Mark's IG post from a couple weeks back - I ended up deleting the pics of group size off my phone so don't have them to post here. |

Those of you using bushing does, what bushing have you settled on for 260 in the tobr

Shot the 260 today with the newly released dominus and it was awesome. Hits at 890 no problem and I'm very happy with the sound suppression. Had a few ejection problems which also caused some double feed stove pipe behavior. Need to dial it in better suppressed.
Also shot a 12" colt M16, a lot, that was a blast. |

I only use blue. |

Took my son to the range today and we shot the 260 tobr with the new slash XH buffer and the 308 rifle spring.
This combo is perfect for the tobr shooting suppressed, it cured all the issues the can created. |

All the az guys built them and I've shot several that are awesome. Very reliable builds. I belive they all run a standard carbine buffer and spring. |

I have a few weights to try so should be gtg. |
