The range in Manchester put night sights I bought on my Glock for me. This was several years ago now so I'm not sure if they might have moved their service work to the Hooksett store.

Picked up some tru glo night sights. Installed by a local shop for near nothing. Price gouging at gun shop in Hooksett and they wanted another $35 to put the sights on at Manchester location. Sheesh!

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.

If you go to any of the Glock matches they send armorers to those matches and they'll perform any basic maintenance for free including parts if they've got them on hand. I'm pretty sure they'd install sights for you especially if they were their own.

Glock 26 9mm. Looking to get some Cerakote done to it in the Southern NH area to add some jazz. Also, would like to add night sites; can I get some suggestions to not break the bank?!

Check out Dawson Precision. You can order them online and put them on yourself. I've done a lot of them. If you don't know how, they have a few videos on YouTube to walk you through it. If you have a vice, hammer, small flat file, and a little loctite you have everything you need.

Depends on where I'm going and what I'm wearing. It's either going to be my Ruger LCP w/ CT LG-431 & 7 round mags., or my FDE M&P9c. I'm currently looking into a Kahr P9 or K9 to add to the mix.

Those of you that have shot/own the Glock 43, what are your thoughts on it? My girlfriends dad is LEO and he says he loves it and its the perfect "pocket gun". I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I'm 6'2 so naturally I've got pretty big hands. Can anyone comment on this?

I am 6'4" so I feel your pain. All of those little guns feel very small, but with a little practice you get used to it. I've shot both the G42 and G43. They are both good guns and shoot very well. However, like any other Glock, I would change the sights out. The factory sights suck. I shot the G43 and the XDS 9 one right after the other so I could get a good comparison between the two. I preferred the XDS a little over the G43. For some reason it felt better and I was more accurate with it. Of course your results may be different. My buddy I was shooting with preferred the G43. If you are getting the LEO discount, I would pick one up for sure.

I wanna shoot a 43 cause I've never owned a glock, I have two Springfields, an XDM .40 cal and an XD Mod. 2 45acp. Both are great and the 45 is my carry gun but it is sorta heavy. Should have gotten the xds, but now that the 43 is out I may have to shoot one now. I'm 6'3" so I'm in the same boat as y'all

 

I do have a Pearce grip extension on my 45 which makes it much more comfortable to shoot, no pinky hanging off the bottom of the gun

Thanks for the input guys. I currently have a Glock 23 that I've had for several years now. I conceal it, but its not the ideal piece for concealment. I recently started shooting a lot more and have been carrying almost daily. If it's not on my hip, it's in the truck. I've heard nothing but good things about the 43, just haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. He did say he can get me any Glock I want with his LEO discount so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm going to pickup a Glock 22 next time I see him, so I might also have to entertain the idea of the 43 as well.

 

I really do like the Springfields too. I was shooting my buddies XDS 9 and that felt great in my hands. Like I said, I have yet to shoot the 43, but if I didn't have the availability of a discount for the Glock, I'd probably go pick one of those up today. I have a tenancy of overdoing things when I get into new hobbies, so my collection might start growing here pretty quickly. No such thing as too many guns!

I hate Springfield's update to the XD. I would never buy anything with the words Grip Zone emblazoned on the side of it, unless it was a baseball bat.

 

This here is the Trigger Zone, and that's the Slide Zone, the mags go in the Magazine Zone, and the bullets go out the Bullet Zone.

In my opinion the G42 amd G43 are the best pocket pistols on the market. For thier size and weight they are actually a pleasure to shoot. Unlike other pocket pistols I have shot I do not experience any bite in my palm. For example my friend bought the S&W Bodygaurd pistol when it first came out. It shot fine but after a couple rounds I started to notice a pain in my palm under the thumb. I've shot over 50 rounds back to back with my G42 and never experienced any of these issues. The nice thing with the G43 is that it's a little larger than the G42 so it fits even better in your hand. Also the pinky extensions are must in my opinion. They make a night and day difference in the grip department. Also, cost on a G43 should be $399.99 with a retail price of $549.99.

Ive been following the "1950" campaign and I agree with you. Adding the words grip zone make the gun look cheesy.

Only time I look at my gun is when I clean it, getting ready to practice with it, or am pulling it out of my waistband to put up for the evening. Yeah it may sound kind of cheesy "Grip Zone" but it doesn't matter much to me since I'm not staring at it all day

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
