Not really considered EDC, but I use a Petzl Tactikka headlamp around the house and at night. I don't want to wake up family and bother them, so I usually go around doing stuff without having to turn on every light in the house.

The worst part is when reassembling, lining up the the hole on the frame to that moving part with the hole on it at the chamber end of the barrel.

IDK the names of the parts.

I think it's called the barrel link. I find that pulling the slide assembly back a little bit helps.

Compared to 1911

1) Push front thing spring guide plug in and turn other thingy plate barrel bushing
2) Remove cap that covers recoil spring spring guide plug
3) Slide plate thingy barrel bushing in other direction
4) Bring slide to the rear and line up takedown hole notch
5) Push take down pin slide catch lever out
6) Bring slide forward off frame
7) Remove recoil spring
8) Remove barrel

Tried to fix it for you.  :thumbsup:

I don't think I can sit through 32 minutes of this guy talking. What are some key points?

I mainly carry a Surefire Backup EB1. I tried a Surefire Titan Plus, but I would always lose it because it was small. I bought a Modlite OKW out of boredom, but rarely carry it because it only has one mode: power of the sun.

@WTF?Shane
did you order it off of Kaleo's web site from their gunshow left-overs?  or did you place an order with a mainland vendor and have it shipped to North Dakota?  just curious.

It was the gun show ammo listed on the website for sale.

so I would give an edumacated guess that the 9mm and 45acp they have in stock, maybe left over from their gun show pallet   :shaka:

There was some .223/5.56 that was for sale also, but looks like they took down the listing. Maybe sold out.

I made an order and haven't received it or shipping notification, so I'm assuming they're still waiting on the pallet.

Same reasoning why im bleh about the spear.

The SPEAR has a barrel less than 16inches, so we won't be able to see it in Hawaii.

Open to “Chinesium”?

EPS Carry is working pretty well for me.

Belt?  The Kore belt creates a nice "ring" around my waist and the grip walls within.  I used to use an Atlas belt, which was thinner.  The thicker Kore belt helps provide a bit more space.

Haven't really looked at belts. I've been old London Bridge Trading Inc. riggers belt. I've got another thicker EDC type belt I can try out from Jones Tactical.

Have u tried a wedge?

Only thing I've done is move the wing thing to the outside to push the holster more in and push the belt and pants outward.

What gun?

Have a 3 or 4 in mind, but still trying to do more research.

I looked into the MPS.  It was available on EuroOptic, at least a few weeks back.  I have an Acro P2 on order. 

I think last I heard, pre-orders for the ACRO P2 were around 6 months. MPS is cheaper and readily available. Also trying to be more open about newer products and trying them out.
54
Not sure if we mentioned here, but another contender to the Aimpoint ACRO P2 would be the Steiner MPS. I'm probably looking into that for my next optic ready handgun purchase.
55
I got the TREX Sidecar 2.0 holster for my 48 MOS and I've been trying it out. Still feels and looks like the grip prints so I might need to start wearing large and looser fitting t-shirts.

If you don't manage to find it at least they provide it via email now so you can save the attachment and print a new copy any time you need to.

Some people opted to pick up the hard copy instead of email copy. Or maybe OP got it before they started emailing them out.

I haven't got around to watching the videos, but read some posts in other forums that it their submission for the UK Rangers replacement rifle.

I'm not 100% schooled up on ITAR, but figured it is easier for the UK to source ARs made outside of the US. There looked like there was Knights Armament and Daniel Defense from the US, but other submissions look like HK and Sig Sauer.

Will this be available in the US? Not that I'm interested, but guessing that they wont see much profit in the US because of all the other AR-15 manufacturers.

Amazing what happens when you leave politics.  I think she was always more toward gun rights.  But being in politics for the democrat party on the neighbor islands is like making deal with the devil or being a meth addict.  You sell your soul.

If she didn't help us then, you think she would try to help us now?
