Why not just get a da/sa or a 357 snub. It allows you to press your thumb on the hammer of you are holstering so you don't shoot yourself. A heavier and smoother trigger pull. I know you can upgrade a Glock trigger spring but I never liked the idea of a striker as a concealed carry. I always see striker fire as better for high capacity duty pistols. Am I just a fudd?

Place the holstered firearm into your belt line. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
 
Well, suppressor number three is ordered. Decided to go with a Surefire Ryder 22-S. Looks like a quality suppressor, I like the looks of it, and I like that the baffles are all numbered and keyed so they won't be put together wrong, and I've always been a fan of Surefire products. Ordered it through Silencer Shop's website and having it shipped to the same FFL I got my Energetic Armaments Vox-S through. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and gets processed quickly. I think it'll look good on the Ruger Mark IV tactical, which will be my next purchase.

Here is my EDC:

Glock 43x- PSA C-1 Slide with OEM glock internals, Empire Katana Magwell, Trijicon XR night sights, stippled by a local dude.

Carried it with a round in the chamber for over a year straight doing manual labor, heavy shit slamming into it daily with no NDs or issues at all.
 
LMT looks to have some new barrel tech, A style of feed ramps I've never seen before (said to be designed around projectiles with blunter tips) and what appears to be some kind of support for the extractor(said to help in the context of ruptured casings, might also aid in OTB scenarios as the HK416 has a similar feature).

I agree. I have no idea why people treat manual safeties on handguns as "gonna get u kilt in da streets" due to fumbling. As if it isn't SOP for 99% of people to carry rifles on safe. Hell some of the people who hate pistol carry safeties are anal enough to switch their rifle to safe whilst reloading which is pure range theatrics and hypocrisy IMO.

I feel as if that attitude about manual safeties (I'm assuming thumb safeties) stems from imaginations of guys who either don't train or train very little. Anyone that's ever seen high level competitors run pistols with safeties knows that one can get to a point where deactivating them as part of the draw movement doesn't even require clear conscious thought. Heck, now a lot of those guys are doing that from AIWB rigs in competitions now.

As far as moving the rifle to safe when reloading, I do that when I'm on the range with other shooters around me. I don't do that if I'm by myself and I didn't/wouldn't do that if people were shooting back at me.

Hopefully he'll get a Glock or an M&P and take a class from someone that can shoot. Plenty of those instructors out there. Then not only would he see how great it is to be able to shoot at that level, he'd also see what it takes to get there and how far away he is from that. I don't know the guy but I bet he comports himself well enough in social situations and would do just fine in a class.

As I've said before, the vast majority of guys who talk the most about guns don't train or shoot hardly at all yet have a rather expensive accumulation of gear and weapons. I was one of those myself until a few years back. It's similar to the gym; a whole lot of folks go regularly, but how many put in the efforts to get appreciably strong or even very strong?

Andrew and crew really make great stuff.


Anyone that runs an M&P with a red dot: does the LCI that comes on those pistols foul up the window of the optic after a bit of shooting?

One of My G19's has a Ramjet and while it's only ran 115gr Sellier & Bellot and 124gr +p Federal HST (that's all I own and shoot) I've ran into absolutely zero issues. Did you run any other ammo through yours?

Safe to say that if your comped gun will run 115gr range ammo, it'll probably run anything. 115gr seems to be the problem child of 9mm ammo. My Glock clone likes anything except 115gr or lighter.
 
The safety gripe is a weird for me, anytime I left the wire or just had live ammo during the 11b time of my life my finger rested on the selector. Even on my everyday carry just by muscle memory when doing drills drawing my hangun my finger is immediately on the safety. Maybe im just ignorant to that perspective. It barely registers as a conscious thought to me.

I think its totally normal. Having my finger on resting on the saftey meant that it was for sure away from the trigger but could quickly find its way there if need be. Unless I physically cannot reach the saftey (without breaking my grip) that's where my finger is going to go. My fingers will still default to that shape while I'm using drills or pneumatic tools that don't even have one lmao.
 
I don't see anything wrong with a thumb safety either, I own plenty of handguns with them. But Israeli carry is a dumb fucking idea unless you legitimately fear some sort of mechanical snafu with your gun, or that you'll pull the trigger while it's strapped to your leg. Either get a gun you can trust, or practice more to develop some degree of trust in yourself that you won't fat finger the trigger. I mean fuck if you're at the point that you feel you need to rack the slide any time you draw instead of just carrying loaded, get a gun with thumb safety at that point. It's a lot easier to thumb the safety than to rack the slide.

Israeli carry was quite literally a necessity by the Israeli military because they had so many different surplus guns in various state of use, wear, and operation that they both couldn't trust the guns to be mechanically sound, and they couldn't trust their soldiers to know the ins and outs of every single gun they would be using. You should not want to have the same standards or practices that an Israeli conscript does, either develop skills or get a gun that will suit you better. Ideally though you should do both and while you're at it not come to this thread with dumbass questions for like the third or fourth time and not be willing to accept the advice you get. Last time I think it was some dumbass shit about wanting a gun that could pierce level IV or V plates and he didn't listen then either.
 
Was finally able to get out for some range time with my youngest brother. Fucking love my C2 so far. Brought out the silenced SP5 and my MK18 with the super safety lower for him as well. He had a blast. I'll convert him into a gun nut yet, I need someone in the family who would appreciate my collection and not sell it if something happened lol.

Safeties on pistols that will spend their time in a proper holster is just redundant. Institutional momentum has pushed in the direction of not having manual safeties so it’s uncommon to have them on a lot of designs.

I don’t see an issue with having one as long as it’s easy to manipulate, and you train with it, but I don’t see why you would necessarily want a manual safety on a pistol.

Obviously long guns aren’t in holsters, so a manual safety makes sense.

if you feel like your life or your livelihood is threatened by the person in question then lethal force is legally justifiable. i dunno probably dont pull a gun on a guy you know is unarmed but the guy breaking into your car at 3am probably isn't armed and prepared or they wouldn't be breaking into cars at 3am. you would be a fool to not have a firearm when confronting them even with that in mind.

You know people die from getting punched in the head/throat all the time right? Like some one else already said, I'm also not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they aren't carrying something. Someone does not have to be armed to be considered a threat nor are you outright prohibited from using deadly force on someone who is unarmed.
 
I dont know how to qoute properly, I will admit i didnt choose my cc on wether it had safety or not. If its there i think its habit for me. Im pretty sure its a very specific thing for me and my peice and why I do it.

If Josh is worried, he should get a revolver. The safety is the trigger pull being heavy. And 38 special ain't no slouch. Load it up with the FBI load and you're gtg. 357 magnum definitely isn't weak either. Considering he has a single stack Glock, going to a S&W J-frame or a Colt Cobra wouldn't be thar big of a drop in ammo. That and they are PURE Americana
