My first reaction when I saw this post in the hunting/fishing section was that someone is about to get a visit from TWRA.

I have one of these for my S&W Shield and I cannot get the fit just right with it. I am actually thinking of adding a wedge to the inside down by the barrel to get the grip to tuck a little more at the top.

I knew a guy that did this same thing, just pulled them into the water. If you are quick maybe shoot them in the cage and then drag the cage under not sure how much time you have between hit and spray.

Not sure the Toyota setup, but I found for my old car the cheapest option was to buy a blank chip key off ebay and have a dealership cut/program it.

What were you results in swapping the slides? Were you able to get the Brownells slide to function on your factory glock frame and vice versa? From what I have seen the vast majority of issues with these come from the guide rod channel not being cut deep enough. Do you have any pictures looking down the channel to see how deep you went?

This is going to be confusing as the names overlap. The shield RMSc (optic that comes on OPs walther) is narrow enough to fit onto a single stack 9mm (Like my S&W Shield or a Glock 43). I am waiting to hear some reviews on the optic before spending the cash on it.

after one range trip with the dot I am sold for all purposes. The main reason I am really interested in this optic is the ability to mount it on a single stack as my primary carry is a shield 9.

I put a holosun 507C on my TP9SFX and it is a great combo. I am cross eye dominant and I have found that the dot is easier to work than irons with my non-typical setup.

A methed out squirrel sounds absolutely terrifying.

I am curious how you like that red dot, been thinking about one to get mounted on my shield

I was actually thinking the same thing when I saw one of these braced for the first time a couple days ago.

I got a crossbreed crossover belt about a year ago and it has been an absolute champ. with infinite adjustment options you can really fine tune your belt size to your gun/holster or what you had for lunch. Highly recommend this one. https://www.crossbreedholsters.com/belts/crossover-gun-belt.html

whats the waiting list like here? Is it a multi-year waiting period?

FYI I have thrown a knife in my locked handgun case before with no issue. Although if you are checking a bag anyway you could always just put it in the bag if anyone raised a stink about it.

did you upload a picture for them to laser onto the leather for you? I will be curious how leather works for IWB, seems like it would get flattened making reholstering tricky.

Warrior Poet Society on YouTube did an excellent comparison of the common CCW insurance providers out there.

Well it took a minute with my older drill bits and hand drill but I was able to get a decent enough dimple on the barrel that I am not too worried about the gas block moving. Now just gotta do some test shots and I'll put some rocksett into the set screws and we should be good to go.

Yeah I’m not looking forward to doing it with my bench vise and a hand drill. But the barrel should outshoot me once it’s all done

I've got a faxon match series gunner barrel and a superlative arms GB.

I am in the process of getting all my bits and pieces together for my next AR build and the gas block I want to use is a set screw type and my barrel is not dimpled. I planned on getting the SLR rifleworks or KAW dimpling jig, but was curious if anyone had luck using a set screw GB without dimpling the barrel?

the UU kit turned out really nice, the color was a little off from the lower I had but overall was a really nice kit and a decent price point for a solid rifle. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the grip was a little chunky for my hands and the muzzle device. I swapped out a VG6 and sold the included tranquillo and came out $20 ahead.

I have one of the straight bows coming Wednesday for my next build. I built one of their ultimate upper kits for a coworker and it came with an MBT trigger and it sold me on them. They have been $87 for a while now and their shipping times are much faster, used to be months of waiting now I got my ship confirmation within a couple of days.

that is a great price for that setup. I paid about that for my complete Gen 3 G17 slide, so you got a deal.

there was an interesting discussion on the "Going Ballistic" podcast about this the other day and they tended to agree with you.

for me one of the biggest benefits in having an AR pattern PCC is the ability to get one that accepts the same mags as your pistol. This seems like a solution looking for a problem.
