I don't have a carry permit, but I plan on getting one as soon as I can which probably won't be soon either.

 

Right now I have a Glock 19 that I plan on carrying. I also have an M&P 40 full size, but that will stay at the house. When I do get a carry permit I also plan on getting a Glock 26 as a backup and will get it either before or around the same time as getting a carry permit. I say 26 so I can use the 19 mags for both guns.

You plan on carrying a 19 and 26 at the same time?

 

For me it wasn't so much about the trigger safety as it was the "grittieness" of the trigger. M&P are shit from the factory but even just polishing them with stones and they are WAY better. I'm surprised for such an awesome gun they continue to throw terrible triggers in them.

 

I got the aluminum trigger on mine. I didn't trust the polymer one at first truth be told. I think it's nice but if I could do it over again I'd prob save the cash and go with polymer. Maybe on the next gun.

FN 509 Midsize. Great Glock 19-size pistol. I'll be ordering the holster for it this week.

I carry a Glock 19 with the NIB-X coated slide and a Glock 42. Once the Glock 43 hits my store I'll be picking one of those up as well.

Ya what I plan on doing is carrying the 19 on my side at about the 2 o'clock position and then the 26 in the middle of my back. I thought about the 43, but the slime Glocks are single stack and I want to be able to use my 19 mags in the 26. That may change, but that's just my plan for now.

I switch my CCW every so often for some reason. Many times it has to do with clothing or weather, sometimes it's 'just because'. The past month or so, I've been carrying my Sig P228 off duty in a kydex IWB holster with extra magazine on the opposite side, and my Glock 26 on my left ankle wearing long pants. I'm sure I'll switch up again at some point though.

Springfield xdm subcompact with a crossbreed supertuck.

 

Before that it was an xd subcompact in a crossbreed supertuck.

 

I don't switch it up too much.

Sig 227 normally in an alien wear IWB. If I want to go smaller because of my clothes I got with my Ruger Sr9c in a N82 tactical Pro.

Tomorrow morning my carry will be a M&P9 Shield. No holster. Installed a clip on the slide and swapped out the loaded chamber indicator

SW c40. I'm looking at a shield 9 though

Not sure how other versions are, but here, there is a thumb safety which isnt a big deal. The Loaded Chamber Indicator is dumb. First thing i did was swap it out with a low profile from Apex Tactical. Also the Clipdraw is a nice addition.

I'm not a big fan of a thumb safety. If I wanted a certain gun bad enough and it only came with a thumb safety then I could get used to it so it wouldn't be a make or break, but if I had the choice I wouldn't. I remember when I asked the place I got my M&P 40 from I specifically made sure it didn't have the thumb safety. I know I sure don't want a thumb safety on a carry gun, just preference though lol.

Only CA model has a thumb safety. The shield was the only compact 9mm i cared for with a 3" barrel. If i wanted a little bigger, it would have been a Sig P239

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
