General Discussion / Re: Red dots on pistols
« on: December 02, 2023, 09:14:18 PM »
Personally, I think it’s the present and not the future. It’ll be here to stay.  While I do have pistols with no optics, my main handguns that I use and train with all have them. 

I do feel closed emitter is the future

General Discussion / Re: Want to buy a micro 9MM soon. Is the Sig P365 reliable?

I have a P365X that I purchased for CCW.  Ran it through a class with 0 issues.  I like it a lot.

General Discussion / Re: Governor signs laws banning guns in sensitive places

I see Gov. Green’s armed bodyguards pick him up from his condo often.  Will his bodyguards also not carry in sensitive places when with him?  Ah, yes.  They’re above the laws that they create.

Is it fixed?  This is the first time I’ve been able to get into a thread.  Felt weird to get cut off as this is the only place I know of for buy and sell outside of the LGS.

I have a CZ 457 Varmint and love it.  Put it in a Boyd’s at one thumbhole stock but haven’t shot it with that yet.

Legal and Activism / Re: Has anyone used the online only hunter ed course to purchase a pistol yet?

I’m sure others will beat me to it, but will let you know as soon as we can land an appointment.  Had the wife take the online course and will be doing joint registration on one of my handguns for her to have.

Ooo, I'll add this to the list, thanks!

Good to hear on the P01. Out of curiosity, you ever try a CZ75 or 97?

Not those models specifically.  I had a shadow 2 that I loved.  Really smooth gun.  I also have a SP-01 tactical in urban grey that I admittedly haven’t shot yet.

Like many here, I’ve gone through a few handguns before coming back full circle to the Glock.  Admittedly, I think nearly every other handgun I had felt better than the Glock and I shot several of them better than the Glock, but the sheer amount of spare parts, aftermarket parts, and the amount of Glocks in existence made it my choice as a shtf handgun. 

I do still have a P-01 that was worked on that I’ll never part with.  That has to be my favorite compact handgun I’ve had so far.  Feels great and shoots great.

But if it’s the end of the world as we know it, it’ll be a Glock 19 and an AR for me..

General Discussion / Re: Handguard rail systems - what are you using?
« on: March 21, 2021, 07:14:28 AM »
I’ll be running mlok for the time being.  I like the weight savings over picatinny.  I have no actual preference with mlok vs keymod and started using mlok only because it is more widely used with more accessories available for it.  I still have a rifle with a keymod handguard.

That's quite a list that you considered sourcing things from.  Maybe half (or less) was available when I was first looking at ARs, which I think was a good thing otherwise I'd be tempted to try more options.  Out of those, I've owned BCM, DD, and LMT, plus Colt.  All excellent quality.  The I had a rifle length LMT MRP and that thing was pretty pricey.  Definitely a quality gun, but I decided to go with reducing weight overall, and that LMT was not light.  I have some Geissele components now too as well. 

Can I notice a difference in performance?  With a quality lower budget setup, probably not.  I have observed more issues/failures in components in some of the lower budget components.  That said, I have also seen failures in components from BCM, LMT, Colt, etc.

I feel ya.  Research took months and I looked into nearly every individual part.  A lot of analysis paralysis and ended up building it instead.  Had to figure out what I wanted to accomplish and went from there.

I think as others mentioned, budget and use definitely play a factor here.  That being said, for me personally, I use BCM as the standard and go from there.  Some companies I was looking through with my latest build were BCM, Daniel Defense, LWRC, Sons of Liberty Gun Works, Scionic, Rainier Arms, Geissele, ADM, Triarc, Larue, Noveske, Radian, LMT, and Knights Armament Co.  Many put Knights Armament and LMT in the top tier and Radian is in the talks as well.   

That being said, for most, I think any one of those would be fine.  I don’t think my skillset would ever be high enough to appreciate the difference between a KAC and BCM...

Firearms and Accessories / Re: Glock 19 is obsolete
« on: March 04, 2021, 05:37:36 PM »
I’ve run through a few handguns over the years.  Started with Glock and expanded out to S&W, Sig, HK and CZ.  Found I liked my CZs best (Shadow 2, SP-01, P-01), but I went back to the Glock 19 as my go to for basically one reason.  Shtf, I feel parts will be more common.  Other than that, CZ all day for me.

There are a few folks on here who conduct classes.  Maybe one of them will chime in.  If that fails, DM me and I can put you in touch with folks that do smaller classes, even individuals.   

Thanks!

General Discussion / Re: glock 17 sights aftermarket sights
« on: November 23, 2020, 09:24:49 AM »
Before switching to red dots, I had the i-dot on my Glock and liked it better than my trijicon hd sights that I had on a previous Glock I owned.

With iron sights on handguns, my personal preference would be straight eight sights.
