Back up for sale, shot it last week and after a stroke it’s a bit too much for me to rack and shoot. I just bought a G19 off here for its replacement for nightstand/home defense duty. I bought this new in 2014 and have shot around 150 rounds through it. After carrying it a few times I ended up getting a G43 for my EDC in 2018.It has been my nightstand go-to ever since. It Will come with everything when new(case,paddle holster,lock,paperwork) as well as the following extras… 1) Three magazines, a 13 round and two 10 rounds with an x grip on one for use in sub-compact grip module. 2) Sub-compact grip module in FDE with Hogue grip installed 3) Foxx IWB holster 4) 150 rds of Winchester Winclean 165 grain 5) 15 rds Remington Golden Saber FMJ hollow points 6) Hoppes 9 Bore Snake. I’m looking for $400 obo cash FTF. Must be 21, a TN resident with a valid HCP you are willing to show and would also prefer to sign a bill of sale. I’m willing to meet a very short distance from Portland.

@Snaveba I tried it on a few when I went to shoot last week. The guy working there even let me try his P365 x macro with a rmr. I was able to rack the ones I tried. That was a good feeling and a confidence booster.I just picked up a G19 from the classifieds yesterday that I’m going to swap slides and add a rmr to.

@Moped I didn’t even think to go through the reloading motions when I checked a few out last week, I only held them and dry fired one.I plan on going back to shoot more soon and will try to open and close the cylinder on one then. Thanks for the info, gives me more to think about.

@Grayfox54 I have thought about a revolver and put hands on a few last week at my LGS. They would still be quite a pain to flip open and load the cylinder. I would have to push button to open cylinder with right,swap gun and try to hold with left, re load with right,try to pass back to right to shoot. Since my left hand is permanently numb when I try to grip and hold anything it’s pretty much all or nothing, there’s no light touch or control about it. It’s not easy letting go after a grip either. Basically I can open and close it, none of my fingers will move independently, they move together.

I apologize for missing all the newer comments, still trying to get used to the new forum layout and functions. Thank you for all the comments and encouragement, it really means a lot. I went to my local range last week and shot all three of my pistols. I can’t rack any of them, even the EZ, with my left hand. I was able to hold them with my left hand, rack them with my right then swap the pistols back to my right to shoot. Not ideal but it works for now. I handled the recoil much better than I thought but I still need to work on a different and better grip. I have decided that my Sig P250 in .40 has to go, as it’s just a bit too much for me. I bought a G19 yesterday off a member here to replace it. I plan on adding a rmr which will let me rack the slide with my left hand. I looked at several new guns while at the LGS and the employee let me try to rack a few, including his personal Sig 365 xmacro, that had red dots. I was able to rack them all left handed after a bit of fiddling. Here is the results from all three at roughly 10 yards. All over the place but this was trying different ways to grip each one, it’s a start.

Who here has already begun decorating for Christmas? (2022 Edition)
milby76 replied to TGO David's topic in General Chat
Ours is done, but we don’t do much at all thank goodness. My wife literally puts it all away day after Christmas. I’ve never been a big fan of the commercialism of Xmas but love the aspect of getting together with friends and family. Most of all I hate the cold and snow, come on Spring! -
Pm sent on g19

This is a rare mini-grip with the ARB and Old Man Emu etched onto the blade, it is 154CM steel. I carried it a few times but never cut anything with it as Im just not a fan of serrated blades. I liked the size, weight and feel of it enough that I bought another one with a plain blade that Ive carried everyday since. *Please note* the box that it will come in is from the plain blade one that I EDC and not original. *Now $90 TYD, cash, venmo or paypal (F&F preferred) as payment. I can also meet if close to Portland. *Added FREE Kershaw Hotwire that is new and unused.

Bump, only selling to get something easier for me to rack in 9mm. -
I bought this new as a $300 ready-to-run Trailwalker truck as pictured in light blue. I quickly changed and upgraded several of the plastic chassis parts from plastic to metal to stiffen it up. I swapped and upgraded all electronics as well as motor. Last I painted and added the Pro-Line Jeep Wrangler body and cheap wheels and tires. It has less than 20 minutes run time 5 of that was in my driveway and up the ditch. All stock parts are included,a lipo charger will be needed as I’m keeping it. It also needs the body mounted a little better, in my opinion, I just couldn’t bring myself to put holes in the Jeep body. I’m only selling due to a TBI causing a stroke that left my left hand partially working making it too hard to work the controller.Due to the stroke I can’t remember how much money I got into it but I think it’s around $600, looking for $325 firm cash or PP. Can meet a short distance from Portland, can’t ship. I’m willing to trade as well, looking for a pistol in 380/9mm/ or .45 1911, AR style 22 rifle or a shotgun preferably bull pup style or pump.

I carry a Glock 43 and will probably be changing over to a Shield EZ 380 after some range time with it.

I can’t recall if I seen that he had passed, may he Rest In Peace. I saw them years ago at Starwood, they sure rocked out for only 3 people.

I’m a die hard Notre Dame fan but have to admit the TN/Bama game was the best so far this season.

This very cool and original.

@derf sorry to hear that about your brother, hearing about his abilities is encouraging. @billmeek I have dropped and inserted the mag as well as racked the slide several times on my Glock. It wasn’t perfectly smooth but I feel with practice I will get where I need to be. I’m concerned about my sig as the spring is much stronger and takes quite a bit of effort to rack the slide. I’m thinking of selling it in favor of a 9mm around a Glock 19 size.

It has been a long time since I was on here. I was almost killed by a co-worker last year that caused a traumatic brain injury as well as a stroke. The stroke caused temporary left side paralysis, after a year of therapy and lots of determination I gained back use of everything except my left hand. I said all of that to get to the where I stand. The fingers on my left hand are about 90% permanently numb. I can somewhat grip things but that is about it. My pointer finger stays fairly stiff.I’m not sure where I stand with any of my guns, and haven’t shot anything since my accident. I’m pretty sure I’m ok with rifles but not sure about pistols. My carry gun is a Glock 43 with a Houge grip. My nightstand gun is a sig P250 .40 compact and I also have a shield .380 EZ. I know the way I grip and hold a pistol has changed but I’m just not sure how good I can control recoil. I am predominantly right handed thankfully. Has anyone been through anything like this or have any advice or pointers that would help me get back in the saddle so to speak? Thanks!
