Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Officially an Uncle.

Mom and Dad are doing great, Baby was born 3 weeks early but she's healthy at 7lbs 5.6ounces and has a full head of hair.

 

Congrats!! But who's the cutie on the left?

 

What are you applying for? I have 14 jobs open in my shop for maintenance techs.

 

I like the shield. It's a little smaller and snappier especially with a hot load but I can shoot well with it and it's easily concealed.

I do like the double stack of a glock like a 26 or so for concealed though.

 

I agree. Biggest thing about the Shield for me is how easy it is to conceal. I can carry IWB all day with the Shield, a double stack Glock though... its doable forsure.. just not as comfortable. Have had my eyes on the Glock 43 for some time now. Gonna see if my ole' man will send me his via PPT.

 

I want a P320 and would stab @DCSBFTMFW for one (sorry bro). But stupid CA says no. I have my Sig which is similar size to the 19 but its a real pain since i wear somewhat fitting clothes. Shield i can AIWB and never even feel it. SOLD. I think im going to order the TREX Sidecar today too

 

Mother in law got my daughter this behemoth of a lego set, now to spend the next 3 days of my life putting it together...the instruction book is 230 pages long.

 

Hmmmmmmmm...........for Ages 8-12.

You should qualify, yes?
Better yet, let your daughter put it together.

 

The struggle is real! In laws got the dude an 800 piece ninja turtle lego van. I walked that shit straight over to the top shelf in the closet

 

Haha she actually will do all the work, but I have to help at times and monitor. She's 6 and really good at them but gets gets the occasional minor detail wrong and I have to go through and figure out what isn't lining up.

Yeah the grandparents started getting them for her at 3 years old and I had to put them away. She had no clue what to do and I would have to build them. Now she's a pro but 1500 pieces is a beast.

 

If you like the Shield I would keep it. Apex makes a replacement LCI (loaded chamber indicator) for $20 they have 2 types. 1 that does not come up at all and another that comes up halfway. Check with your IA and see if they will allow it for CCW.

 

Yeah the Shield is small enough to where you can carry it just about anywhere on you and still feel good. That's another reason I sold the Glock 27. It was sub-compact for sure, but was still a double stack at the end of the day, and it was easily noticeable when I wore tighter fitting clothes. I could never get into carrying a handgun that was Glock 19 size or bigger, took up to much room on my side and got in the way too often. The shield fit perfectly. The Trex Sidecar looks awesome. I cant imagine having an extra loaded magazine next to the handgun would make much of a difference in comfort levels and you double your capacity.

 

Gonna remember this next time I have to make a reference to another TW bro that I'd stab for something.

 

Forgot how small babies are. Lord help me again.

 

Hopefully I will be buying one in a couple of weeks after I get back from Hawaii. I found one without LCI and can do PPT.

 

This sounds awesome. I'll look into it today. Since my current CCW permit expires in less than a month I don't really care about keeping it CC friendly; (if its something I can take on and off the firearm when needed). For 20 bucks, might not be a bad investment if it means falling back in love with the Shield. Thanks for the tip!

 

my brother just did the Apex trigger enhancement kit and bought this trigger for his. Feels amazing firing it off.

Shoots like a glock now

 

its not love with out a little stabbing.

 

I've thought about doing the trigger enhancements a few times, but after getting my permit, the reality of if I ever had to fire my weapon at someone and having to face a jury/court kicked in and I figured any internal mods like trigger enhancements to a CCW could literally be a deciding factor in a guilty/not guilty verdict for me.

I actually like the shield trigger wayyyyyy more than my glock triggers. I feel like Glocks always have that "mushy" feeling to them, whereas the shield has a stupid crisp break. I love it

 

Is there an actual legal precedent for the idea that modifying a carry weapon for personal use makes you a murderer instead of a person who defended themselves legally, while legally allowed to do so?

Or is that Massad Ayoob's bullshit trickling into everybody's fear?
