Defender

Well, shoot. I ordered already from shield arms! Wish I’d seen this first!

Recently picked up a new Glock 43X, that has been customized by Shark Coast Tactical. I love the looks of it. One of the guys at my local Gunshop where I bought it showed me a S-15 magazine he got for his G-43X that is made for the G43x, but has a 15 round capacity. The Shiel arms mags are made of steel which is how they are able to do 15 instead of 10 rounds like the polymer Glock mags,though, you have to replace the stock mag release with a metal one. They offer a kit or bundle that includes 3 mags and the metal mag release. I’m think hard about ordering it. Anyone have any experience with this?

I’m not sure which Leatherman tool I have, it’s an older one, from back when I wasn’t aware they made more than one model, if they ever did back then. I carried it for a long while, but for some reason I stopped and it ended up in an office drawer then later a carry bag. I also have a gerber multi tool in the truck. I found that I didn’t need to carry one but still like having one close by.

Try tonight.

He is just not interested in the gun. Long story about their relationship, but sad as it is, it resulted in me getting the gun.

My friend hasn’t fired this, he just doesn’t like it. Not sure what, if anything, his dad did to it before he gave it to him, heck, it may be unfired. He lives across the state from me, so I have to wait til he comes this way for work sometime before I get it.

While I have long been interested in getting a 10mm pistol ever since a saw and handled a Colt Delta Elite many years ago, the costs involved, especially the costs of ammo, plus the fact I don’t need another caliber have discouraged me. But my friend told me he decided he doesn’t want this gun and is giving it to me. Soooo, I’ll be on the hunt for ammo after I examine the gun and determine if it’s in good working order or can be put that way with my limited knowledge/abilities, then start looking for ammo. Seeing the experiences/advice from those on here, I most likely wouldn’t have gotten into 10mm, and if I did, not a Rock Island 10mm, but for free? I’m in.

I’ve had really good experiences with CarMax. I’ve bought 3 or four From them at my local store in Rivergate/Madison. They gave me a fair price for trade-in when I traded, offered but didn’t pressure sell extended warranty and no haggle price on vehicle.

I’m envious!

I carry Hornady Critical Defense in my 365 macro. I have some Critical Duty, with a plan to carry it in a separate magazine for specific situations, but never got around to doing it. For environments where I figure I’m most likely to have to shoot, I’m a little concerned about over-penetration or missed shots going through thin walls with the Critical Duty rounds. Not suggesting others should have the same concerns, this is just me.

Welcome

Found that setting but it is already enabled. Now that I know it’s to do with orientation and not random, I can deal with it. I sometimes read in landscape and sometimes in portrait. In my old age I never thought to look at how I was using it. I was thinking I wasn’t doing anything different. I good now. Thanks for the help!

Son of a gun! That’s exactly right. Now I’m questioning myself as to whether it’s random, or just related to which orientation my iPad is in, as I read it in both orientations. Now I’ll have to watch to see if that is always the case. If so, seems a rather poor design for an iPad to be setup that way with the screen bring so much bigger than a phone, or, as Red in That 70s Show would say, Defender, you dumba**! Thank you, Omega!

Well, still have no clue why these two buttons come and go in Safari, but I did discover that I can “mark all read” and “show unread content” in the 3 lines menu at the top right, so when my buttons disappear, I can still do that!

Please make sure to post a review here once you get it and evaluate.

It’s not doing that at the moment, it’s sporadic. I will try it tho. I see those dots in chrome, but not safari. What I don’t understand is how sporadic it seems. Thanks for the help.

I read in a recent issue of Military Times newspaper that a brigade in the 101st just got the new replacements for the M-4 and M-249. The XM7 is the Army’s replacement for the M4 while the XM250 will replace the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. Both new weapons are chambered in 6.8mm. Both sound like awesome weapons.

Got tired of fooling with back in Feb, but just now tried loading TGO in Chrome on my iPad. Happens with chrome the same as with safari. No mark site read button or unread content button.

Awesome! I’ve got 2 full sized auto Adamas and one non-auto mini. Would love to have a mini auto, but dayum, 400 bucks?

I am still laid up with a broken leg, and bored, LOL. I have been thinking again that I want to ceracoat my Sig P-365XL/Macro Spectre. Mine is the original no comp distressed stainless finished slide that changed to a macro grip module. I’d love to find someone local that could do a distressed ceracoat to my grip module. I really don’t want to send it off somewhere non-local. Anyone know of someone in this age that does this?

Prayers for both you and your family.

This is good to hear. My daughter went thru a rough spot a while back and is on probation now. Once she’s done with that her felony is supposed to be expunged. I want to leave her a couple of my guns, so o guess I need to start figuring out the process for her.

I’d like either a hat or a shirt, last time I bought a insulated mug, but it got stolen.

Pm sent.

Thanks, guys!
