https://www.talkable.com/x/5ObXrc Allegedly that link has a way to get 25% off on SOE gear. I found it in my email today, almost deleted it as spam and then thought of this thread. I have no idea if it's legit, but I got it today and wanted to share. Good luck.

If you don't shoot it well then sell it or trade it and buy something you do shoot well. I had a Sig 229 in .357 Sig as my first carry gun. It was a great gun. Very reliable. I replaced it with an M&P compact. I replaced that with a Glock. I shoot my Glock very well. There was nothing mechanically wrong with the Sig or M&P, but I didn't shoot them well. I had to swallow some pride and get rid of them and accept that the Glock worked good for me. It still does. Carry what you shoot good, it will serve you better.

+1 on the ALG rails. I've had two so far and I'll buy another one in the future.

Does this one have BTF? Does this one have Gen 3 reliability? After that is sorted out and IF my Gen 3's get boring to me, then I'll buy one. Hopefully they keep the MOS version around.

My setup is a frankenstein of sorts. It's all Multicam so that I can use it at work with the exception of my M9 holster which is still tan. If I ever get issued a new M9 that has a light rail I'll upgrade my holster. I've got the following pieces from the following manufacturers: Tactical Tailor Fight Light 4-Point Battle Belt Harness ATS War Belt ATS tear away IFAK pouch SOE gear 2" duty belt HSGI tacos for M4/AR15 as well as M9/G17 Blue Force Gear dump pouch Safariland ALS holster for a M9 with an offset drop mount adapter that also comes from Safariland. This lowers the holster from the belt and extends it out from my hip just a tad. Safariland ALS holster for a Glock that mounts to the same offset drop adapter. Warrior Assault Systems small hydration carrier Camelback 50 oz Antidote reservoir If I had to do it all over again I would probably make the same choices in gear. I wouldn't pay a premium for any of it though. I bought as much as I could after seeing it in person so that I could touch it, smell it, taste it, and generally get a good feeling for it before laying down my cash for it. For the 5K I think you could get away with a stiff belt, some mag pouches, a holster, a tourniquet holder, and a sling.

I'm sure my belt will work good for this, but that's because I have ran in it. Any decent belt setup should work. I use a stiff duty belt with a padded cover that as PALs webbing sewn on it. To the belt I attach ammo pouches on the left, holster on the right, dump pouch in the center back, IFAK on the back right, and hydration upper back. My belt also has padded suspenders. That setup works pretty good for me, but without more information about the course I wouldn't say it is absolutely the way to go.

This looks effing awesome. If I'm around I'm doing this. And I'm gonna see if anyone else from work wants to join in.

Wow! That looks like a great experience. Safe travels back to TN and I'm gonna check out your YouTube.

Looks very innovative. I'll stick with my belt mounted pouch. Not sure I want to rely on my buddy knowing that my medical kit is hidden.

I use a Snagmag as well and recommend it for a low cost piece of gear that has held up pretty well. I carry it IWB at the 11:30ish next to my AIWB holster. It works pretty good for me, although it does move around and one time it came out with my magazine. I'm waiting on a new AIWB that has a mag holder built in to replace it.

I'll be attending The Law of Self Defense Seminar on August 20th at the Nashville Armory. If anyone wants to pay for their tuition and carpool from the Clarksville area with me I have an open spot in my truck for ya.

I agree with storing food to a certain extent. Anything with a 40 year shelf life probably doesn't equal food in my book. I'm learning to garden this year because I'm pretty good at hunting and fishing right now. My family has 2-3 weeks of food right now and we are adding more with each trip to the store. Same with cases of water.

I fold a piece of paper like a post it note about two or three times, insert it across the chamber and drop the slide. It allows the trigger to be pressed without resetting the slide. It isn't perfect, but it's alot less money than a SIRT Glock.

Dry fire before live fire. Draw from concealment 5 times super slow thinking each part of the draw in your head with 1 trigger press. Then, Draw from concealment 5 times faster this time focusing on shot placement with 5 trigger presses each. Then Draw from concealment 5 times as fast as you can with 5 trigger presses each. Then Draw from concealment 5 times moving left with 5 trigger presses each. Then Draw from concealment 5 times moving right with 5 trigger presses each. Then Draw from concealment 5 times moving forward with 5 trigger presses each. Then Draw from concealment 5 times moving back with 5 trigger presses each. Then Draw, move to cover 5 times with 5 trigger presses. Then Draw, find a good close retention position 5 times with 5 trigger presses. Then Draw, activate your light 5 times with 5 trigger presses each. Then Live fire each of those based on how much ammo you have. Sneak some malfunctions drills into the live fire and you should be pretty good.

If you have another bolt or extractor I would swap that in there and see what happens. Also, does a different type of ammo make any difference?

If you can swap another extractor in there that sounds like an easy step in troubleshooting. Does the fired brass have any unusual marks on it?

^^ those look perfect. I'll try those on my next safe.

I think you could just drill the hole deeper than needed. When you need to remove the safe just remove the hardware and pound the anchor down with a punch. Should work fine.

I have as well. I was just curious. I honestly don't remember the date of the last stove pipe or failure I had with my Glock, but I do know it has happened and I expect it to happen again. That's what training and practice is for. I wasn't trying to dog on your gun, it is very nice. Let me know what brass marks you find on your RMR and if they compare to mine as seen below.

I also believe you had a stove pipe. Did you have any brass to face issues with the gun before mounting the RMR? That sucks about the DQ and I'm glad you or anyone else was not hurt.

How many spots do you have left?

I would be interested as long as it addressed low light situations.

I also had a bit of a slow time learning to draw my RMR Glock. Lots of dry practice and then competition to validate my practice helped me.

Glock 19 with RMR. I carry it everyday I can. It is reliable, durable, has high capacity, doesn't weigh too much. RMR allows me to stay focused on the target, reduces the impact of my poor eyesight and even when my glasses get knocked off my face I can still shoot pretty well.

I'll keep buying suppressors regardless of the hoops I have to jump through. They are a game changer. My lawyer will just have to earn his money and redraft my trust as I see fit. I'm glad I got a real lawyer to write my trust and not some BS online version with no support.
