i bought a baby desert eagle 3 and its a very accurate and easy shooting gun and i love shooting it, but it has literally no aftermarket support. every gunsmith i took it to got filtered by the fact that the baby eagle 1 and 2 are rebranded Jericho's but the 3 was a tanfoglio witness manufactured by BUL. they have different springs and sight dovetails.

There's so many great guns I won't consider because of the complete lack of holster support. I learned my lesson after finding out how it's impossible to find a lvl III holster for a VP9 w/ ACRO P2.

I have it on good authority that Midway now treats standalone buffer springs, castle nuts, and buffer retainer pins as restricted/regulated, and requires submitting ID to order and signed delivery for California.

Everyone did this when Washington passed its dumb law that had conversion kit language in it, they wouldn't even sell me a castle nut wrench around the time the law passed, and Cali seems to have done them one better by making the definition even vaguer.

The reality is that a couple years on I'm not seeing most smaller retailers balk at sending anything at all to WA that isn't a big boy magazine because they either don't care, or perhaps more importantly, aren't big enough and thus high enough volume to incur the wrath of a civil suit from the WA AG which is the only reason the bigger ones seem to have fallen in line.

It annoys me to no end that Tenicor doesn't make a P10 holster. Maybe now that the German army has adopted the fullsized gun it will become magically good enough for them to support it.

I have some holsters that it'll fit in and some it won't. I asked if they fit and support told me no. I really don't want to send them $120 or whatever to see if they know what they're talking about or not.

I don't know firearms companies are so adverse to buying a blue gun...

I've learned to have a seething resentment towards Safariland. They'll make fifteen variations of their holsters in LARP camo patterns but will tell everyone that doesn't own a Glock, Sig or S&W to eat a dick.
 
It really does fucking suck that having to make DIY Kydex holsters is the only way to have a sensible carry option for more than half the handguns on the market.

At this point I don't even look at a gun until I check out holster options. For a full-sized, duty style gun it's gotta be supported by a Safariland lvl III because SHTF I'm not open carrying a friction retention holster.

Just call up El Paso Saddlery and have them make one for your rig out of whatever you want. I've even sent them a truly ancient holster that was disintegrating. I inherited from my father after he died, who inherited it from my grandfather after he died, and El Paso duplicated it stitch for stitch. Just have to ask them.

Because most smiths are parts changers and if you go Off Menu, they cannot fabricate anything. They just look up online if there are any sources of 3rd party parts or stuff on offer from the distributor and if there's nothing then they wash their hands of it.

Gone are the days of making flat springs out of steel stock, using a torch to heat it, oil quench and then drawing the temper with a soak in a pot of molten lead made from recycled wheel weights from the local garage or melted down projectiles from the berm at the range...

There's a few left. But not many.

Vedder holsters makes a P10 and P10C carry holster. I have one of theirs for my VP9, it happens to fit my G19 and my P series HK's, too. (of course, they sell a proper one, I'm just being cheap and lazy, lul)


I'm on the fence on whether I want a Gen 6 G19 or to save a few hundo and just get the P10C ported like I've been eyefucking for the last 6 months or so.

Honestly why not just sell the thing and pick up a CZ P01?

why would I sell a cool weird gun that works perfectly fine for a boring new one? It's compatible with cajun gun works jericho/tanfoglio triggers and springs if I wanted to rice it up

weight, it shaves off like 4 ounces and it's actually very well balanced because of it. It's probably why I like the gun.

Yes and no.

Yes if it's the only way you can get one, and on principle just because you can, no because you will have an objectively inferior rifle by the end of things, and it will be a lot more work.
 
My Lingle Industries ExoLock stock arrived today, and I'm pretty happy I decided to buy it. It is so much more comfortable than the Gen 2 Vector stock I had on it previously, and I think it's closer to the Vector aesthetic since it kind of has that dog leg look the original Vector stock has. It's also a little heavier so it balances better with the can mounted.
