Any dealers that stock them locally?

I call hogwash on pdi w-holds.

The dont seal well at all in comparison to anything else ive tried in the exact same hop up unit/barrel grouping. Its come up a few times on asc - other users have experienced similar findings.

Not to mention if that "V" isnt perfectly centered youre going to get bbs curving to the left or right all over the place.

I also take everyones range claims with a grain of salt. Most people would actually be surprised at how far 100 feet is - let alone 180 or 200.

It all depends on the combination of everything. The GBBR PDI rubbers get great seals in the WE M4 I had, my current WE G17 and my WE SCAR.

I also have a custom build with a PDI rubber, Madpull tight bore, SHS M4 nozzle, and G&P metal hop-up and have a great seal with no FPS loss that I can see. I will admit you do have to make sure it is indeed lined up correctly, but a steady hand and careful placement does this. I have had no issues of curvature at distance thus far.

It is very subjective, as you mentioned and I have reiterated. Doesn't always work for everyone. BUT, when you get the right combination of things going, its a beauty.

Must admit though, dem Prommy purps is still da bombs.

I know my evaluation of range is good.. it's measured in 10m increments at both my local fields. If you really want I'll take a photo with me and a tape measure/rope next time i'm out there, but that's probably not good enough for you either.

In that case you can ask spike. :P

PDI W hold... The rubber itself seals very well, the mound is leaky. It lets air pass through the middle of the W over the bb and reduces fps. Best plug and play hop up setup is bridge hop. I notice very little difference between bridge hop and r hop under 450 fps.

Unless you are getting 50 fps higher than the spring is rated, you do not have a perfect air seal.

I hear some bad things about the PDI-W
But you know what I've never heard anything bad about in 8 whole years? FIREFLY.
They've been stocked and sold out fast for the past 8 years, they're that good. lol
