    I purchased the pew view and I’ve been waiting for mine since December and was told I’d have it at the end of February. I’ve also seen lot of issues with them at the beginning and it seemed to get better that as of late all the ones that are being put out seem to have a lot of issues. I’ve seen everything from the screws on the grip being lose to safety’s not working and hammers not dropping but I have to be fair and say I’ve heard that they are great to work with customer service wise and have a great warranty and take it and fix it no questions asked

      I ended changing my mind on mine due to all of the issues, might was we'll get an XC lol was super excited before the waiting and seeing the issues. Hope you like it when you get yours though!

      Ya man, I'm disappointed to see all these normal apaches out when I still haven't received my pew view edition. Especially with the email of material shortages. I purchased mine on Nov 3rd, and it still says awaiting shipment. It's going on 3 months now of awaiting shipment.

    2:58 I've wondered the performance difference in these comps as well, like your saying there's a threaded comp, a barrel/comp in one piece, and the integrated compensator with SIG where the barrel ends before the comp. Probably not much to notice performance wise but I suppose easier maintenance on the pistol itself with a comp has some warrants unless you plan on bore snaking most of the time.
    I could only imagine what that WT is like, probably hard not to shoot anything else!

      This will be a great video for me to make! Get all different types of compensated guns and see if there’s actually a huge difference between them. 🤔

    • @THENUBANDIT
      @THENUBANDIT Месяц назад +1

      From a manufacturing standpoint, the threaded comp would be to save cost. Since it glides on the frame it shouldn't back out. Theoretically, there shouldn't be a difference in performance from a solid comped barrel.

    I want this as my DS 1911 I haven’t found another company to compete with there price for what you get besides legion precision giving you a vault case 3 mags and a SRO for $4500. And idk what the Apache comes with but it’s $3,995 msrp. So there close but I feel like watchtower tops them as well with the comp cuz I don’t think legion makes a comp model only ported I believe.

      ​@dallasroberts6932 exactly, material shortages, but you can send out normal apaches. I purchased mine November 3rd and it's been awaiting shipment for 3 months now. When you email them they say it coming your batch is next to ship..... which at this point I really doubt cause normal apaches are shipping.

    I was 1 of the lucky ones that didn’t have to wait for the Apache.
    Mine was riddled with issues.
    Hundreds of us got an abysmal 3D printed grip. Not that nicer MJD grip. Others had to pay to have their grips swapped to the MJD by watchtower.
    It’s not a great gun and I think watchtower are cons

    Waiting on Watchtower for a response. But since you have one, maybe you can tell me. Is the comp supposed to be loose? If I thread it on snug, it won’t line up and won’t go into battery when reassembled. When threaded on loose and when assembled, the recoil spring holds it snug, but you can still wiggle it. Thoughts?

Definitely a firearm company to stay away from. The staccato XC is a much much better gun for the same price.
