Panthera I Jumped In!

[jps2486]

Like I say often, I like to read. I have been reading all of these forums since they started. It's true that most people who do write seem to do so to complain. Still, most of the complaints that I have read by people that like their FX's have been about their Amp regulators. There seemed to be a big enough trend there that Huma has made quite a business selling replacements that many are willing to buy. And they don't complain about them as much either. I think that while Amp regulators may not show up actually broken, I don't believe that they are as good as Huma's either. I have not read about anybody switching back because of poor performance either. I'm old too, and I can't justify wasting what time I have left on the hope that my Amp reguator is a good one when so many seasoned users have had enough and just get Humas. I just cut to the chase and avoided a potential problem. I was going to completely take down my gun anyway and with what all of this stuff costs anyway,I'm not sweating a different regulator purchase. If yours work well, of course you shouldn't change them.

I appreciate what you are saying here. FX regulators all seem to malfunction because the O rings get brittle over an extended period of time causing either leakage of poor resetting time. Examining the FX vs Huma regulators, they both are basically the same design using the same O rings. Wouldn't be true that the O rings in the Huma regulators could do the same over a long period of time? Does Huma use a better quality O ring? Are the internal dimensional tolerances better with the Huma? Also, Huma uses an aluminum body vs the FX brass. I would like to hear someone's technical analysis of one vs the other.
