Can you perform at peak performance without some warm up/coffee?
The impact is the same…..needs some shots to get going
I guess sorta similar to letting your car run a few mins before driving on a cold day.

FX should adopt those 3 sentences…

Guns should be ready to “perform” from the first shot.
 
You can also turn up the hammer spring a tad more and tune most of the problem out or make a peek spacer like the topic talks about and use a viton o-ring inside the plenum
oh yeah fx isn't the only one with the problem RTI balance valve in the gen 2 also has same problem
Yeah but any time FX shares an issue with another gun it is always better to beat up on the FX. it will always generate more likes.

You make them on a lathe. They were tedious little things to make. I have Mubhaur’s front plenum pieces on two of my Impacts. I was using the peek piece before that. Thankfully I saved those because I gave the rest of the Peek pieces I made away. I have another Impact on the way and I will install one of my old plenum beaks with the peek in it immediately after I function test the gun. I have to take the gun mostly apart to get things to my liking anyway.
