Romeo 5 recalled because siggers eat batteries View attachment 6838821
Oh no, the batteries provided are not in child resistant packaging? IT'S A SIGHT FOR A GUN, if your kid is eating batteries from your gun cabinet you need to lock that fucker up tighter.

The optic "doesn't have warnings" that say "don't open this and put the battery you find inside your mouth" this makes me MATI lmao

Everyone prepare your anuses, Stacatto finally broke down and is releasing a Glock mag version.... LMAO. I guess the Platypus and Apollo were actually eating into the retardedly overpriced 2011 market.....

SHOT 2025 is going to be exciting this year

I like that Staccato is going with external extractors on their pistols, at least for some of the models. The OG type extractors on 1911s and 2011s obviously do work, but I prefer something more easily end-user adjustable/replaceable. That fucking rear sight on this thing, though...
Literally no reason not to do this, or that Dan Wesson/CZ version that is like a 1911 on a CZ75 lower.
Not quite. I'm not trying to be a pedantic dickhead about it, but the DWX frame is not nearly as much like a CZ 75 frame as I would have liked. It doesn't have the internal slide rails that I love so much about the 75. I don't know if that's from an engineering consideration or if they knew people would cry about less slide surface area to grip for manipulations.

The whole thing is more like a 2011 with a CZ 75-shaped frame (that doesn't take CZ 75 magazines, retardedly) and no grip safety. And when so many of us were salty Dan Wesson didn't put them out with optic-ready slides, then they fucking start selling those. Goddamn it. Learn a lesson from me, peeps, FOMO can make you spend money on shit you don't need and probably won't even like.
 
From the LA fires thread:

fire damage is difficult to recover a weapon from, more often than not it's a loss. this is why fire ratings on safes are important and further, that you understand that even the best fire resistant ratings only buy you time. have insurance and anything especially precious should be kept in a format that is reasonably portable... but property is always secondary to your life or the lives of others.

fire extinguishers are very cheap to maintain and keep around the home or shop, same for oily rag bins, and chemical containers. while fires like huge events are rare, they do happen. what's more likely are fires from poor maintenance (leaks or bad wiring), inattentiveness, or bad decisions (lit cigarettes while falling asleep from a drug OD in a cotton couch while your child is trapped in a crib in a hoarded out apartment - yeah that was a call i had to take and it was horrifying).

my little secret: keep a go bag of precious or irreplaceable items in a fire safe and if the fire can't be controlled within a fraction of the rating, bug out with the go bag and make sure your people are with you and be sure you have a stash to get to or house you to ease recovery. stay up on your insurance and home maintenance. don't FA and end up regretting FO.

So what's going on with that new glock clone from Ruger, the Ruger RXM? I like the grey grips and slide. Apparently it's based off the 3rd gen glocks. 15 rounds standard isn't bad either. Almost certain it takes Glock mags too, so yes you can load up your meme 33 round sticks into this thing.

It's a 3rd Gen Glonk 19 with a chassis system cooked up by the boys at Magpul, with no finger grooves and a proper grip angle.

It's what the Gen 6 Glock should be.

They come with Magpul Glonk mags of course. Been hearing initial reports of minor issues with factory glonk mags, so like anything new I'll wait for the people who insist on owning one right away to shake the bugs out of them first.

I see. I didn't notice the grip angle until you pointed it out, but yeah. That looks nice to hold. Interesting to hear about the mags. Guess I'll just keep listening then to see if the issues persist.
 
I really want to try the RXM. I'm of the opinion the best striker fired gun on the market for the price is the CZ P-10C. Amazing stock trigger and ergos. Finish has held up perfectly to carry and having no AC at home. Higher humidity. Never had any issues. And for the memes it's a WW3 contender. Adopted by the Czech military as their sidearm

However, it doesn't take Glock mags. Which I own 0 of, but for practicality it's the best format. The RXM is really well priced, factory optics cut, and takes Glock mags. And has the serialized FCU. Hundreds of dollars less than a optics cut Glock. I hope they perform long term, I just want to try the trigger first.

Im about to get very rich from a lawsuit when no one told me that mosin bayonet was not for prostate play!
 
On the topic of the RXM, I think it's very compelling at least conceptually. For what it's worth Gun Talk Media ran over 8,500 rounds over two days, with Glock factory and MagPul magazines, through their copy without stoppages or parts breakages. It shouldn't have parts breakages at that round count, but it's good to see the lack of stoppages. They don't show the full firing of the gun from start to finish, so they could have faked their results, but I'm going to choose to believe them.

I've read about a couple issues that some users and reviewers have with reliability due to either their screws for their optic being too long or over torquing screws in their optic inducing malfunctions. You will impede on a spring that is visible through the drilled out screw hole. This is possible and somewhat common to happen with a factory slide that you have milled. It's also an issue with optics cut P80 builds/other clones. Not exactly an inherent fault with the gun.

I've seen reports of the slide stop causing issues, the ejector being out of spec, and the same complaints echoed above about the magazine issues. What's real or user induced will come out in time. About half the complaints I've seen have been user induced from guntubers and a good amount of real issues seem to be fixed by swapping a part for a new Glock OEM part. I'd echo again what was said above, don't buy the first gen, Ruger will iron out the problems eventually. Lots of shilling by guntubers though, hard to find higher round counts and clear videos of why stoppages occur.
