It’s worth the wait👍👍👍

I run up to a thousand rounds through mine between cleanings and haven't had an issue. Stay up on your springs and mags and they're bulletproof. They will let you know if you have any out of spec rounds, though. A drop of lube every 500 rounds or so is a good idea. They're perfectly happy being wet and dirty.

Get the XC. It is a pleasure to shoot and literally blows your hair back. One of the few guns I rack the slide on and it just amazes you everytime

Should come with a kit.

A legitimate consideration, but the C is a pretty large gun for 9+1 rounds. It's roughly in the same footprint as a Glock 19, albeit thinner. If I feel that I need a gun smaller/flatter than a Glock 19 or C2, then I go with a Glock 43x or 48.

Sure But then you give up the trigger, Gunsmithing and feel and shootability I don’t reserve that for capacity I believe those qualities are always welcome in a carry weapon,🇺🇸🦾 Thanks

The MBX 18 rd mag is similar to running the factory 17rd/126mm mag in the C2, which normally takes the 16rd/120mm mag as a flush fit. To gain an 18th round, you must sacrifice spring length and follower stability, and as such I do not recommend that option. The 2020 C2 models did not have anodizing underneath the PVD finish, and I haven't checked in to see what is happening with the 2021 models. The factory did durability testing on the C2 and I really have no issues with the frame as it is.

@@108Performance To be clear, I've never used that 18rd magazine that is part of their new "Defender series" of more carry-oriented 2011 mags since I no longer have a C2. But I do have some of the 20rd 126mm "Defender" MBX mags that I am now using in lieu of both the factory 126mm 17 and 140mm 20rd mags. Unlike the more competition oriented mags they have a much stronger spring (and are actually pretty hard to load to 20rds) but still have the same really high presentation of the round. They are a bit longer than the factory 17s though despite also being a 126mm mag but so far they've worked great. I don't have that much of a round count across them all yet though because of the ongoing ammo situation. They've been 100% in my P and XC so far and passed the feed test in one of your other videos with ammo as short as 1.060 with flying colors.

@@christopherjohnson2171 Copy, thank you for the additional info. Good data points, appreciated. 👊🏻

@@christopherjohnson2171 MBX is known for quality.

I hope you mean Limited Minor as SAO guns aren’t permitted for Production. The old STI catalog of competition guns may have been neat, but keeping after all those and limited sales left the company on the verge of bankruptcy.

@@108Performance yes you are right on the terminology. Isaid production as opposed to CO (Carry optic) and I meant to say in non Optic class.

You probably can use the stock "light" spring if screwing on a comp.

Just an FYI that 19lb spring is the mainspring or hammer spring it may be called.

Depending whether carry or a competition is your priority, the suggestions in my video still stand. The aluminum frame P is more of a niche item for exposed duty carry IMO. The shorter the barrel and slide, the more snappy, so an aluminum frame P will track better than the C2 but not as nice as a steel frame P.

@@108Performance thanks for the reply!

If it's not affecting function/accuracy, then leave it alone. You're not getting what amounts to a high level gunsmith job from the comments section on KZfaq. If you have any actual issues with it, contact the factory for a repair ticket.

Thank you for the reply. There is no performance/ function issue. The question was more to establish if this was normal with other Omni/ XC / DVC-P / Costa users . A ticket to the factory is not so simple from Europe, hence the request for their user feedback before bothering the factory.

Definitely can do more carbine stuff, just let me know what you'd like to see!

They slide forward but it doesn’t create a function issue. If you are extracting a partial magazine, you’ll notice, but otherwise you won’t

@BadBaltGuy The slide forward aids in ejection. The round will still “pop” up whether seated all the way back and forward. I’ve noticed when they are a little forward, the really add some additional force for ejection on the empty case being extracted. Just remember that a round may be slightly forward vs seated when you train tac reloads etc.

I saw one for sale in the forums a few weeks ago.....dude was asking 4000 and I think he got it. Same for the limited release of 5" 2019 Ps that got into the wild, I've seen people asking 5000 even with a high round count.

@@christopherjohnson2171 that's just ridiculous man but I get it. Supply and demand not to mention the shortage everywhere. People take advantage of that unfortunately. I like the C2 but I think the 3.9 inch barrel it too small and the 4.4 is too long. The 4.15 was almost perfection for me. Would have been ok with a 4.25 as well.

@@xavierd9216 What is a barrel .25 longer going to get you?

They are poorly fitted and overpriced. They even lie on how they build them. They get their barrels from a vendor, but their “Head Gunsmith” said they make them in house.....stay away.

@@ACGBLR ah yes this was a wonderful one!

@@cheese0794 indeed!

The sounds aren’t simply purchased or I’d just buy more. I have to set up and perform and record them myself…all for content that I provide for free and film/edit after my work day. I’ll get on it.

Without any actual information, I hold this comment as suspect at best. The Bul Armory guns are imported, filled with MIM parts, and are untested as compared to the 29 year old platform that forms the current 2011.
