I've cleaned up this thread. As a reminder, there are rules for participating in our Trading Post.

I wouldn't. They complicate your holster options, I've seen them break off of the gun before, and there is really nothing that they offer that can't be accomplished by improving your grip onto the gun with a little trial and error.

I think you might have been suffering from confirmation bias when you saw those photos and interpreted them to mean that he's a Trump supporter. Dressed like Waldo from Where's Waldo and standing at a Trump Rally? That looks like a socialist Antifa soy-boy peacocking for his buddies on social media. Draped with a Trump flag, using it as a cape, acting like a moron? Possibly a Trump supporter but more likely just another form of clowning for his circle.

Can confirm. Sane people don't usually look like this.

Everything about him screams mentally ill. But I'll play along... no one has ever seen an ANTIFA activist at a Trump rally before. Or clowning with a Trump flag before. The case is solved. Good work, gang!

I wanted to mix things up and try something other than the Zev Pro curved face trigger that I've been using in my G19 for a few years. I bought one of the Tyr triggers from Glockmeister via eBay and honestly like it better than the Zev trigger. It's more of a flat face trigger with a slight protrusion at the bottom to keep your finger aligned on the blade. I remember when Damon at SSVI first came out with the Tyr trigger and thought it looked cool. I guess he's sold the design to Glockmeister and they're producing them now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144535332591?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UgIAiNOxQwq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=udSyTTHdS5S&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

You're probably going to need a short punch to make it work and you may still end up buggering the drift pin itself. https://amzn.to/3OnB1mU

This fortune was in the bottom of a home test. I guess it means the test is OEM, straight from the manufacturer?

Travis, over at Shop Nation, is going to be producing these enhanced dust collector attachments for that Ridgid miter saw that I linked above. I've got a few other things that he designed and 3D printed, and they are all excellent quality.

I run 9mm for both. I will run somewhat cheaper FMJ for the range, but I zero my optic for the carry ammo and just work out the hold-over for range ammo.

Nice to know about a semi-local (to me) resource. Thanks for passing this along!

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions and greased with the blood of innocents.

Outstanding!

It's the Distraction Fallacy at work.

Well, they had one out of seven things going for them.

The unnatural gender doctrines is just an example of the ways that kids minds are being saturated with things that go against the natural order. Frankly, we don't yet have a full diagnosis of what likely caused this particular kid to go off the deep end - and anything that they come up with now will be purely a forensic deduction or best-guess since he is dead and it is impossible to interview him in a clinical setting. I chose that purely as an example of how society daily has the rug ripped out from its figurative feet, from a very early age, and put off balance with a litany of "issues" that don't make sense and cause internal personal turmoil and anguish. These factors compound and cause mentally and emotionally crippling personal crises that children, lacking mature and fully formed brain structures, cannot address in any sort of constructive manner. Let alone the fact that concepts like gender fluidity are fundamentally insane, as given some evidence by the extremely high rate of suicides among transgendered individuals. Anyway, all of this is to say that a single raindrop doesn't cause a flood but all of them together can. And do.

I went through this about two years ago and bought a Makita 12-inch sliding compound miter saw. I had a DeWalt for a while but, as someone else pointed out, a sliding miter saw can take up a lot of room on a workbench because of the sliding mechanism. The Makita's slider system minimizes lost space BEHIND the saw, which is where you lose the workable usable space on your workbench. That said, Ridgid has come to the table with an articulating arm saw that costs a hell of a lot less and looks pretty good. I'd look at this if I were you and if a 10-inch blade will handle the cuts in the material that you plan to use most. RIDGID 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw R4241 (homedepot.com) Delta was, I think, the first with this design. I'm glad to see others doing it now.

A lot of folks aren't going to like this post and I think I am honestly past the point of caring. Why? Because the people who won't like it don't have any solutions either and their feelings on what I am about to say is why we are where we're at in the first place. This country has forfeited its moral compass. We have a sin problem that has been intentionally hidden behind the symptomatic mental health problem, which itself is one that not many want to talk about. We have allowed leftists to take God out of our society. People, young and old alike, have practically been forbidden to talk in publicly funded places about the God who heals hearts and minds, who tells us what is right and wrong, and with whom heavy human burdens can be traded for peace that transcends worldly hurts. Kids brains are now saturated from Pre-Kindergarten, forward, with all manner of unnatural doctrines which warp their minds and injure their souls. They are told that boys with XY chromosomes and penises can call themselves girls, and that girls with XX chromosomes and vaginas can call themselves boys, and that anyone who dares conflict those misconceptions is guilty of assaulting their self-identities. Men are Women, Adults are Kids, Kids are Sexual Beings, Left is Right, Right is Left, Wrong is Right, Right is Wrong and God is a Myth. These days, a messed-up kid with a list of grievances in his heart often doesn't have a father AND mother at home to confide in, because we've allowed leftist ideals to destroy the nuclear family. And if the kid does have one or both at home, there is a chance that one or both are terrible human beings, themselves, and maybe the cause of some of the kid's pain. Or, at best, apathetic to it because they are just adult-sized children too, living selfish self-centered, hedonistic lives and lacking any natural compassion for their child. That kid typically hasn't been brought up to understand that there is a real and loving God who cares for him and to whom all of his hurts and pains and anger can be brought to have them sorted out and healed. So that kid just festers with confusion, anger and rage, like an infection below the skin, just waiting to burst and release all of what has been trapped inside of him. And then he makes the news, with a weapon of any sort, and a victim or list of victims upon whom he released his wrath. We are reaping what our society has sown over the past five or more decades. We asked for this. And if we want to change it, we've got to get involved. We have to save our kids by investing in our kids. Not just our biological children, but our society's children. There are a lot of kids out there who don't have mom or dad, or for whom mom and dad are a part of the problem. This isn't a situation where we can write checks and make donations and other people do the work. If you're reading this and you care about where our society is headed, you can personally get involved and you NEED to. Kids from Pre-K up to early adulthood need your mentorship, your guidance and your heart. Like I said, a lot of people won't like this post. So be it.

Yep, that's where I ended up putting my IFAK as well.

Everyone claims that the Glock grip angle is as natural as pointing your finger at something. I used to buy into that, but personal experience says that my natural pointing position isn't quite compatible, and neither is most anyone else's. I can hand most people a trainer Glock (or empty) and tell them to look at something across the way, close their eyes and then point at it, and the Glock won't align for them. Tell them to do that empty handed and they can point their finger at the same object with pretty good accuracy. I think the real sauce with Gaston's design is that he figured out that his grip angle uses natural biomechanics to combat recoil. And he's not wrong about that. I've said it often: This is why we have so many different gun designs to choose from. There is no true one-design fits all. I carry my Sig P320 or P365 more than any others now, and I've shot Glocks for over two decades.

Honestly, most folks that I have helped and who have said that they initially have some trouble finding the dot on a Glock running an optic end up also finding out that they are cross-eye dominant (right hand and left eye, or left hand and right eye). If you are a right-handed shooter, try pivoting your head ever so slightly to the right as you bring the gun up to eye level. Pivot the other way if you're a lefty. If that improves your ability to instantly snap the gun + dot to alignment with your eyesight, surprise! Other than that, yeah, the Glock grip angle isn't as neutral or natural as the 1911, P320, etc.

I just updated the first post in the thread with mine. I took the IFAK off for the moment. Trying to find the best place for it on the belt since it's really for use on me, by someone else, if I get hurt. I added a basic tourniquet holder, though, since I might need to use that myself.

Sad. Yet another law enforcement officer who needs improved handgun accuracy.

I am resisting the urge to buy a ROMEO2 for my P320. The review that Sage Dynamics did on the optic is excellent.
