Firearm BS thread

@ColoradoTJ not a 40 but XDM 9mm

 

Not all of them, just some models

 

Just gotta look around a bit, and know what the upc/package code you are looking for is. I picked up an elite package last year from a shop in FL, they had it on their online site, the owner didn’t even realize he still had it in his inventory. If you want a particular package let us know, I know several of us get a kick out of digging for the deals. Lol

 

Got my magwell in for the prodigy today, lasted all of 30 seconds after installing. Just didn’t fit me. So it joins the abandoned parts pile with the optic plate and the drop leg level 2 retention holster.

 

you'll never get better if you don't go shooting on a regular schedule, my shooting has gone to hell since my last 2 back surgeries.

 

hmmmm.. I definitely dont see as much play as in that video, but I do have some, even with my aftermarket grip module and aftermarket slide. I have never noticed it though and has never been an issue or concern to me personally. Besides some noise, I guess I dont see an issue. The play does get reduced when a mag is loaded. It seems to be just the play in the FCU in the grip module itself. I'm assuming its just built in looser tolerances since its Modular and is meant to be installed and removed. Dealing with tolerances that are much tighter on a day to day basis for my job.. I dont see a problem with it and honestly wouldnt be surprised if it was by design.. much like Kalashnikov did. Especially since I still see some of the same play with my 3rd party components.

I would also say.. just go FCU and custom build if that's what you're into.

 

If it was tight new something stretched. Ordinarily i dont shake a pistol like that. I just tested my xd it doesnt do that.

I prob wouldnt notice it unless it wasnt shooting/grouping good or it broke for some reason

 

I think it really is just a personal opinion or preference. I've never noticed nor do I care even now knowing. Some might, and I get it to a degree.. but I'm also one of those, if it's not broke, don't fix it kind of guys. It runs great.

 

A 5 year warranty I feel would be a waste of money. Most any gun maker has a warranty and will have you send them the firearm if there's issues. That's all the shop is doing, just sending it back to them for you but charging you to do it.

 

Exactly. The only way that would be worth it is if it were a 100% satisfaction guarantee where you could just bring it back within x amount of days for any reason since every gun purchases I've ever seen is a no return type sale. Then you could spend an extra $60 to be able to take it back just b/c you don't like how it feels or whatever.

Only then do I see a warranty like that being beneficial. On that just replaces the gun for you after it can't be repaired it just upselling you on something useless and they know it too. Almost as bad as some dealership add ons

 

Speaking of the potential Sig issues, been thinking of getting rid of my X-compact and moving to a compact M&P, not sure what optic and light I want to run though, I know I want an enclosed optic, my Romeo 1 gets very dirty and dusty when I carry it. Not sure if I want to go with a TLR-HL or something similar for a light, I don’t think the TLR-7 has the performance I’m looking for.
Any recommendations from yall?

 

RCR or ACRO is my vote. I like both

 

I had a shield plus and just upgraded to the shield plus carry comp because S&W has a rebate for a free Viridian RGX15 that I couldn't pass up. I have a Viridian RFX35 and like it alot so I couldn't pass it up. I run the TLR-6 and it's worked for me so far. I like the carry comp better than the regular shield plus it shoots pretty flat and I think the trigger is smoother.

 

I’ve got the shield performance compact and love that little gun as a ccp.
