Firearm BS thread

I have the non-rechargeable TLR7A on my RMR G19. I like it. Holster friendly. Bright enough.

Kept getting loose until I put Loctite on the threads.

 

I freakin hate glocks, cant stand em, but i understand their value and do have a couple but i just hate em!

i just got that new Kimber CDS9, its now my EDC and lovin it so far.

 

I’ve been carrying and shooting third generation G19s over 20 years.

Got no issues with them. I haven’t touched a 1911 in months, I occasionally shoot my SA Pro. I sold off most my Wilsons and Guncrafters.

I think it’s funny that the OG G19 guys have become the new 1911 Fudds and are complaining about all the newfangled polymer striker fire guns.

 

Weight, Capacity and cost of 1911s dont help them much. My run n gun sunday funday range toys are primarily 2011s.

its hard for me to go back and forth between the grip angles and triggers of 2011s and Glocks.

I dont think id sell my glocks, but they mostly sit in the safe. My 19X is fully loaded and chambered tho, it i need to grab something thats guaranteed to go bang, its that.

 

I saw a cop carrying a Stacatto here, I haven’t tried one of those yet, but if I ever move to a place without rosters and capacity restrictions I might buy one for shits and giggles.

I like the Platypus, too.

 

That platypus is probably a really good compromise between Glock grip angle and 2011 trigger

 

Staccato are pretty good and I recommend them for someone who wants a really good one right out of the box, but they are primarily designed for duty. There are other options around the same price range that are more fit for fun and competition that just feel and function better they just aren’t duty proven And you probably don’t want a 2 pound trigger for duty

 

Wtf??

 

Some compact 1911s that use traditional style springs are only rated for a few hundred rounds.

Most people like to swap them out for flat springs.

 

I havent bought one in a while. This is first ive heard of it

 

I used to be a 1911 guy. The 3” bois chew up traditional springs fast.

Most modern ones use captive recoil spring assemblies and flat wire springs which are substantially more durable.

 

Changing the springs. Ive only had fullsize though

 

@ColoradoTJ same with my P228 from back in the early 90s. I've only started playing with springs recently with the P365 Comp and FN 502, and then especially playing with suppressors with both of them.

 

I have a P220 still shooting fine.
