JVC Everio GZ-HM30, it shoots in 720p. I like alright. I just wish the video software was a little better. Editing wise.

Well I was running an 18lb spring, some say that might have been one of the causes. I had never took out the extractor to clean in, the tunnel was pretty dirty. I'll do an update when I take it out again.

But if it works for you, it works for you.
Yeah I noticed that, I may try to point my thumb forward more. (for better pointability) I don't think it caused the malfunctions since I used the same grip on the other guns.

Von Zippers I think.

I used to shoot with the thumb low (bottom rear of the grip panel). But when I compared the two (after finding out about high thumb). I immediately switched to it. I'm going to try to take the P220 out next time. I'll see if I have to switch to low thumb, probably will have to.
