Long story short; the X95 was the bomb; T-7 not so much. I paid 2k for it. My shop owner, gave me 1.6 for the weapon, reduced the price on the weapon I was purchasing, and I walked out with a new Scar 20s at a great price.

As he stated the MPX is generational because they stop support on a generation because they stop making it. The SP9A1 and SP9A3 are different guns. They are both still fully supported since they are both still fully in production. Lumping them in together as the same gun was unfair in the review.

@@brighthought11 WHO_TEE_WHO owns a .40 S&W Banshee and has told me there is literally no difference in recoil between the .40/.45 and the 9mm in a PCC. Another person I know owns a .45 Vector as well and said the exact same thing. And the .40 has literally 95% of the capacity as the 9mm for the same size magazine. There is however a noticeable difference in the amount of damage the 9mm and all the other mentioned calibers do to gel, fruits, soda jugs, and cinder blocks though. So yeah, no point to the 9mm in a PCC.

Mine have been as reliable as any of my other quality guns such as Glock, HK, Browning, Baretta, etc. My AR9 sees not only a lot or range use, but I carry it almost everywhere for several years now.

I’ve been so torn between which pcc to get I want reliability over all. Everyone seems to be on the stribog train lately. Maybe I’ll reconsider the scorpion, wish I had MP5 money to burn.

[@BrassFacts]

I ran a Stribog for 1100 rounds before giving up. Out in the desert the mags slowly degraded and resulted in high failures rates. Most of which occurred near the end of the mag. Also because the top of the receiver has large open cavities, if you try to fix the malfunction, and at any point tilt the gun up, there is a very good chance a empty casing will fall into the upper causing a quasi bolt override. It's a mess. This gun was so overhyped because of it's price; tons of reviewers reviewed positively because they shot barely over 300 rounds with it, and then gave it a positive pass.

[@Militaryarmschannel]

I've had that issue and others. The mags are horrible which is why they keep changing them. I feel sorry for people investing hundreds in the the latest generation of mags when I know other mag generations are coming down the pipe. But if something is cheap enough people will buy it and even love it. It's what I call the Century Arms Syndrome.

A refreshingly forthright video--thanks for it. I'm loving every range trip with my Stribog SP9A3S and have had only 1 minor malfunction (with a flat-nosed reloaded round, mind you) with it in about 1000 rounds through it, but you've clearly had horrid experiences with the line. Perhaps with the "S" model, they've finally gotten it right. The curved 30-rounders and even the straight 20-rounders load ever so easily and are reliable to this point. I appreciate your opinions.

My firing pin broke last year and when I contacted Sig they offered a free upgrade to the current (edit: looking online, looks like I got the gen 2 bcg not the ACTUAL current 'gen 3') version with the updated firing pin w/ spring and updated bcg. I just had to pay for shipping. Really good service on their part in that regard, was really happy with turnaround time. * Came with gen 2 mag * Keymod handguard, has since been replaced by a Samson Mfg mlok So basically all gen 2 except for the barrel attachment hardware and internals.
