  1. Something that I discovered recently was that, surprisingly despite the smaller size of my hands, the Glock 19 platform that I had carried religiously for nearly 20 years really wasn't the best platform for me. Shocker! What I discovered was that the longer grip length of the Glock 17 not only put the grip's palm swell/hump in a location that fit my hand better, but I also benefited from using the the medium back strap as it gave me more surface area to get my support hand onto. More support hand on the grip itself and not overlapping my dominant hand fingers means more actual contact with the gun and therefore better recoil management, less muzzle rise, and faster split times. My world had basically been turned on its ear. While I still wasn't a fan of the additional length of the 17 for IWB carry, especially with a compensator hanging off the end of it, the Glock model 45 suddenly made a heck of a lot more sense to me than it ever had previously. Consequently, I've started to part ways with most of my Glock 19s and have picked up two G45s as their replacement. The added bonus of course is that the G45's slide is the same length as the G19's, so all of my holsters work just fine with them. This gun is my "pimped out" carry rig for when I'm feeling a little extra sassy and don't mind a little extra bulk on me. I sent the slide off to DP Custom Works and had Doug mill it for an RMR and mill the front top of the slide with extra cocking serrations to make press-checks a little easier. While he had the slide, he re-finished it in a tough black nitride, which looks fantastic and isn't as slick as the factory Gen 5 black nDLC. I added a ZEV Gen 5 curved trigger with their tuned ZEV Pro connector, ZEV suppressor height sights, a Crux Ordnance oversized mag release, a Silencerco threaded barrel, a Parker Mountain Machine comp, and hung one of my 1,000 lumen Surefire X300-UB lights off of it. The whole thing rides very easily in a Squared Away Customs "FOXTROT" outside the waistband holster or a Legacy Firearms Company light-bearing CRONUS inside the waistband holster. As for how it shoots, I've got the dot set for a 10-yard zero and stacking rounds in a cloverleaf within a 1-inch circle at that distance isn't a difficult task for me. ** Edited to Add: These photos were taken with an Agency trigger installed, before I swapped it out for the Zev curved trigger to keep things consistent across all of my Glocks **

  2. When you’ve gone down the private equity route for as long as they have, suddenly being left out in the wind with less access to capital is not a good thing. You can read this as, “we’ve pillaged all we’re likely to get, so let’s push all the future risk off onto shareholders.”

  6. Imagine the headline if this gun ended up being used in a crime. "Stolen gun, ignored by police used to kill "xyz". Maybe the police need to be reminded of this potential outcome...

  11. The link I posted is 182.95 for 1000 delivered, about 6 dollars cheaper. Either one you go with it is a good deal.

  12. Very Nice! I love the G45. Great way to utilize the OEM bits while taking to the next level.

  13. Give them a week and I can almost guarantee Doug will have a significant discount % code listed on his website and social media. He tends to run 20-40% off around holidays. PS: Check out the G45 thread I just posted for some of his work.

  14. Well sure…they will list junk ammo; some people buy that. Put in your caliber, Put in Federal, put in HST and hit enter. Look at those names on the left. Those aren’t sites trying to pass something off; a lot of the Big Boys are listed there. It’s just one option to get you to some web sites. Personally I don’t think any of those ammo search sites keep up on the sales, but just use them as a starting point in addition to the sites you know you want to check. But yes, if you just put in your caliber, the first results are going to be steel case cheap ammo because its listing them by cost per round. Try these....

  16. There are many that are good, maybe some others will post some they have had good luck with. You just have to watch for sales. For example, I’ve bought Federal HST handgun ammo at nearly the price of range ammo at Target Sports USA when they ran a sale. I would say the next two weeks leading up to Black Friday will be the best time to stock up. I haven’t been to Wal-Mart since they announced they would stop selling ammo, but they have always been the lowest price I could find on WWB and UMC bulk packs. Target Sports USA is probably the one I have used the most lately. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/ I’ve used Freedom Munitions ammo, and its been good. https://www.freedommunitions.com/ The prices aren’t too bad at the new Sportsman Warehouse on Thompson Lane in Murfreesboro. Not as good as online, but sometimes that’s not an option. https://www.sportsmans.com/

  17. As a pretty serious competitive shooter, I submit that most shooters can put $200 worth of work/parts into their stock Glock or M&P and use the $1200-1800 they saved by not buying one of these EB guns on practice ammo and be much better off. A $2500 M&P? I'll take a 2011 if I'm throwing around that kind of money for one gun.

  22. I'm posting this for the people who are looking for more information about CCW insurance. It is not comprehensive but it should get you started. I encourage anybody who is interested to research the insurance provider. I had to move providers several times, before I found one that suits me.

  23. not really. Metro PD was not any help. The patrolman didnt even really want to take a report and said that would be the end of it if he did. I filed one anyway. Next day, at the advice of someone on here, I contacted a supervisor sgt, who at least got me thru to the detectives. Spoke with the detective twice. Second time he said he had called the guy advertising the gun, but the guy denied having any gun at all. Detective said there was not anything he could do beyond that...even with the supporting information and screenshots of the guys text messages with his phone number and that included the guys pic of the gun showing the serial number! I know they are busy, I do, but I really dont Know what else I could have given them... If the detective wanted to, I think he could have gotten a warrant based on the evidence I provided. Im not going to start bashing the police here, but Im pretty miffed. As far as the BATF goes, they dont return my calls so far... The guys furtiveness and denials smack of suspicion to me. I would bet a dollar to a donut that either he knew the gun was hot, or he's a felon and not allowed to have one. Although I never really expected to get that gun back, once I saw it the other day, I kinda got my hopes up...sad it slipped through my fingers. It wasnt JUST a random gun...i got it in the early 80's from an old USAF commander back when I was in the service. Im wondering if I should have set up a meet with the guy and dealt with it myself...

  24. I've looked on ammo seek. But seems to be the majority is steel case ammo or ammo that seems like a good deal until I looked into it and it's either factory rejects or the reviews are terrible where people are buying 1000 ends and only having a few hundred actually function

  25. Well, not what I was trying to say, but wouldn't be surprised. Stupid people do stupid things with power equipment. If you see a video, pass it along. Be fun to watch.
