Barrel extension

Post image

I'm trying to suppress uncommon guns. I started with a Walther P1 with the locking block system. This time it's a gas delayed blowback Vector CP1. Barrel removal was a little tricky since there is little to no documentation.But it got done.

Vector CP1 gas delayed blowback. I removed the barrel threaded it and made a barrel extension. The barrel is fixed and should not require a booster.

Ngl, I legitimately thought this was a shit post about a hot glue gun.

Check out the Altor Pistol.

Immediately though this was a joke post because it resembles a glue gun so well

You don't see those too often. Weren't they recalled for safety issues iirc? Still. Nice work. I think a SilencerCo Osprey would make it look like something out of Cyberpunk 😂

I can make that happen.

Pure Cyberpunk 2077 vibes. Looks like something an Arisaka assassin would carry. Now THAT's a one of a kind range blaster 🔥 shame you have to Israeli/Condition 3 carry it unless you want to risk an AD. That Osprey looks like a natural fit since there's obviously zero aftermarket suppressor height sights or RMR cuts. Doesn't look like it obscures the sight picture too much.

I saw your other post about how it got recalled for not being drop safe. I looked it up and apparently the South African Vektor CP1s got some kind of safety pin block but the US models didn't and they just got recalled. So they're quite rare today. Which is a real shame. It's such a cool design.

It had drop safety issues. It not a carry gun for me so I don't care.

Growing up in would always see this gun in books and magazines. Thought it looked cool, but have never actually seen one in the USA

u/retep4891 11h ago

They are rare and spare parts are non-existent. Which makes the endeavor somewhat nerve-wracking.

HAAAAANK DO NOT ABREVIATE THE VEKTOR PISTOL HAAAANK

jokes aside tho don’t think i’ve ever seen vektor guns outside of SA

u/retep4891 10h ago

If you 're in SA can you hook me up with spare parts?

2

u/KalashnikovParty 10h ago

no i don’t live in SA. I have internet buddies who live in SA who also collect guns and they have access to vektor guns. Apparently they are somewhat affordable as far as guns go

What is it chamberd in

u/eldarvik 11h ago

How similar the P7 or CCP is the barrel attachment? Is it just pinned? I've wanted to find a CP1 to add to the gas delayed blowback collection.

Edit: actually isn't the P7 threaded in? I don't remember

2

u/retep4891 11h ago

It's the same . I have both other guns as well. What was more difficult it that bi had to remove the Hammer / spring and rear guide rails to be able to remove the barrel. I ended up printing some pressing jugs at 100%fill

u/eldarvik 11h ago

Very cool. I want to thread my CCP. Maybe you've given me the courage.

u/retep4891 11h ago

We could do both at the same time.😁 Here's the link to mine,: https://www.reddit.com/r/HKP7/s/VW1iOMggUf

I'm so in. Great collection. I only have one different than your CP1. I have an Alien. Got it used from a friend who wanted a 2011. His loss my gain. 😅

u/aRand0mWord 11h ago

I wanted one of those so bad when they came out, but they all but disappeared because of the recalls.

The safety location is great imo

What is a link post and how do I post a descriptive comment?

  • A link post is any post that isn't a text post. Reddit is doing a great job of ensuring new users have no idea how Reddit works with their app and site rewrite. We hate both.

  • r/guns is a sub for talking about guns. It's not a sub to dump gun photos for karma. That's what r/gunporn is for. That's why we require a descriptive comment – to start a conversation. If you're wondering what to write, picture yourself at a party. You're talking to someone you just met and you want to show them your post. What do you say to them as you get your phone out?

  • I don't know why this needs to be explained, but apparently it does. A comment is a comment. It is not your post's body text/photo caption. We are not asking you to edit anything. We are asking you to post a top level comment under your post.

Always thought the Vector was cool but never bought one when I had the chance. Mentally in the same ballpark for me as the Beretta 9000s.
