Try the Tier 1 concealed axis elite or something with a “claw”

When the WOKE idiots took over in 2018 due to Parkland, Florida shooting.
"Dick’s (DKS) CEO Edward Stack told analysts in March 2019 that the company would treat gun control “as a multi-year initiative,” and that he expected to remove guns from more stores in 2020."

What Dicks removed was me as a customer. Lot's of places sell sneakers.

I love the Versa Carry Zero Bulk Pro.

Grendel is finally ready! Minus ammo...

I’m using a Raven Vanguard 2 on my 43X. Fits the 43 as well. Pretty much disappears. Only downside is if you draw and need to reholster, you need to remove the holster from your belt, clip it on then put whole thing back on the belt.

Dick's Sporting Goods profits hit by retail theft
Dick’s Sporting Goods' second-quarter profits fell 23% amid a rise in retail theft, the company announced on Tuesday.
Dick’s forward-looking statements expressed uncertainty in the industry due to changes in macroeconomic conditions and other risk factors like organized retail crime and the store’s ability to effectively manage inventory shrink.

Im running Tier1 Xyphos V2 for my G43x s and Axis elite for my G19, with mid sweat guard and discreet carry concepts belt clip.

dark color or patterned shirts help with printing. Also a wedge help push the top of the slide inward. Im running middle size. Tier1 sells a wedge pack that has a few different sizes, Id put scotch tape on the wedge rather than actually install it to figure out what size. The adhesive is a PITA to get off once stuck

If anyone is looking for the HK P8A1, Arms Unlimited is having a great sale. Mine should be here Saturday.

chowser51 · 08-26-2023, 01:10 PM

Arrived. Import mark doesn’t look too bad. Sadly the mags are useless since my jet funnel has also arrived.

Shiza · 08-26-2023, 03:58 PM

Just finished my “retro-ish” build. The older I get the more I like the A2 stuff

Donatello. · 08-27-2023, 06:36 PM

Took my newly purchased Steyr AUG to the range today for the 1st time. The bullpup game is just not for me. Tried a RDB prior. Now the AUG is up for sale lol

Samurai of 2day · 08-27-2023, 10:20 PM

Anyone have experience comparing the Staccato CS, VS the SAS Bull 4.25?

Watched a few videos on YouTube comparing the two with decent commentary, but still on the fence on making my final selection out of these two very comparable pistols...

Curious about your thoughts on these? Always wanted one.

chowser51 · 08-29-2023, 12:25 PM

Jet funnel, mags and holster arrived. More mags incoming.

Just not really anything exciting for me to shoot. It was accurate. Also, unless you have a brass deflector added to it, it's going to send that brass into the next county. Someone will eventually lose an eye lol

bagekko · 09-05-2023, 01:10 PM

What do you think about the Jet Funnel? Debated doing it for my new USP9T or 90s USP40, but then you need to only use JF mags. Skeptical if it makes that much of a difference.

I like magwells so the jet funnel works for me. I actually like it over the more obnoxious magwells out there. Still conceals easily for me.

Donatello. · 09-05-2023, 06:14 PM

Broke my new Stealth Arms Platypus in on Sunday. Bullet goes where I point it & I enjoyed shooting it. So much so that I put my VP9T up for sale.
It also ran great with my Obsidian 9 can installed.
I have a Holosun 407 green dot sight to put on it, but I don't think I will. I like it as is vs removing rear sight for red dot + tiny rear sight supplied.
I'll sell the dot or put it on a future pistol

Also, love the color combo I picked. Cerakote Burnt Bronze w/Copper accents

unluky · 09-05-2023, 07:02 PM

Finished my 6mm ARC build and got a load worked up for it this weekend for coyote duty this fall.

5.8 pounds naked, right at 7 pounds with scope mounted and no mag.

heitzke · 09-06-2023, 02:55 PM

Fine, I guess i'll play along since i'm super happy with how this is turning out. Just assembled my 6.5 Grendel upper, waiting for a forward assist, charge handle and my optics before I can call it "done".

V Seven receiver, Faxon barrel, V Seven superlight magnesium hand guard w/ Ti screws and Ti muzzle brake. Lots of fun little bits on this one. Quite pleased with the V Seven stuff and the details, like the scalloped picatinny rail, etc.

I'm just going to run a Holosun HS510C paired with one of their 3x magnifier on this.
