ad closed Sold — Shield Plus with tons of extras - ready for carry
Defender replied to AnotherMike's topic in Firearms Classifieds
That’s a nice package, but I already have too many shields! GLWS. -
https://www.recovertactical.com/product/p-ix-modular-ar-platform-for-pistols-for-glock/ I ran across an ad for this in the June issue of Shooting Illustrated. While I’m not likely to get one right now, I was intrigued. I thoughts one couldn’t legally put a stock on a pistol? I watched some of the videos on this site and in one of them, the guy had some pretty good ideas on adding accessories to his. Does anyone have one if these things?

I got an email and a text from Chase Saturday morning that they had declined a charge for .76 in England for Twinning Tea. It asked if i made that charge and when I said no, they canceled my card and are send me a new one. It also said to check my account for other fraud charges and when I did there was one for 126 bucks from walmart.com. I called them to dispute it and they said they would remove it. Hate having to get a new card. I check my bank daily for fraud and guess I will need to start checking my credit card as well. I usually inly check it when I make a chare or pAY IT OFF.

No, I'm getting one from Whisper today. Thanks, though.

Looking for one to convert my xl. installed over the weekend. Not sure I like the size with the 17 round mag. It feels really good in the hand, but my conceal ability is somewhat hampered. The stock sig floor-plate tends to dig into my side, at least with the holster I have right now. Got another holster coming this week, and also a TacDev 17 round floor plate, so will wait and try that one. TacDev also makes an adapter floor plate so one can use 12 round mags in the macro. The macro changes a lot on this platform. Depending on how I shoot with it, and how it feels after I get used to wearing it, I could conceivably go back to the xl module.

My career field in the USAF are called Defenders, and I thought that name also fit well with the reason I carry.

Discovered that the manual for the EPS Carry was wrong in how to enter auto mode. Found an answer for this inReddit. Now I think Im good to go. I do want to test to make sure that is goes to sleep and auto wakes now. Already had occasion to clean it and this is the way, lol.

Awesome setup! I often think that when I win the lottery and get my place in the country, I'll have one similar. You did a great job on it.

Need New Carry Flashlight - Suggestions appreciated
Defender replied to crc4's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
No, I dont. I had to look up how to program it though. In case you need it, here's a video: -
Need New Carry Flashlight - Suggestions appreciated
Defender replied to crc4's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I’m as bad with flashlights as I am with guns. Maybe I’m just afraid of the dark? Lol. Anyway, I carry a Streamlight stylus Pro in my shirt pocket EDC, since I try to minimize weight when I can, plus no room to comfortably carry in pants pockets or belt. Anyway, I just recently got my Olight Warrior 3S and I like it. It’s stays in my go bag most of the time. I also have a Nitecore MH12 I like in one room, and a LAPolice Gear Tactical Operator L1 in another room. I’ve apparently lost my Fenix PD35. I’ve been looking at a Fenix TK20R V2.0 that has 3600 Lumen in a pocket or belt size. Anyone familiar with this one? Side note, all of these program differently, so the smart move would be to have one brand, but then, I’ve never been accused of being overly intelligent, lol. -

I thought about starting a new thread but then thought maybe OP and others might benefit from my experiences with lights. I got my Olight Warrior 3S and charged it up. Side note, since you could not mail the battery back with the recalled Warrior, I kept it for a spare with the new light. I confirmed with Olight and it’s the same battery. Seems like a well constructed solid light, very bright. Couple things I don’t like: while it has a tail cap button switch, it also has a side switch as well. Programming seems obtuse. The instruction sheet wasn’t very clear to me how to simply do it. I probably just need to search the internet for other users ideas. Also, I would have like a beam focus adjustment like some of my cheaper lights have, I.e. Atomic flashlight. All in all though, I’m happy with it so far. -
Law Tactical AR folding stock adapter question
Defender replied to BigK's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
I took mine to my LGS gunsmith. It installed on my sig AR with none of the issues you mention. -

Ok, got the HE507k-Gr X2 unmounted and the EPS Carry mounted on my P-365 Spectre. I ended up using the mounting plate that was included. I love the way it is way easier to clean the lenses. Haven't taken it to the range yet but Im sure it will be fine. It has the auto sensor on it that auto adjusts the brightness depending on the amount of light out. Now the big decision is whether to adapt the surplus 507 to another gun or sell/trade it on here? I'm leaning toward selling/trading as the 365 is my edc and just dont carry anything else suitable. I guess I could get my g45 slide milled and put it on that but i rarely carry it and it would just collect safe dust, lol. Anyone have a need for one?

Ive done that more times than i can count! Congrats!

Thanks. I have a small tear in one rotator cuff, but had a surgery to 'clean up' the shoulder. Dr said i may be able to avoid the cuff surgery. But pain is bad even after the surgery. He's done one actual surgery in Jan, then later in April they put me under to do a shoulder manipulation. Now he's saying another manipulation is called for. Oh and extensive PT between all of these. thats the one pain. the other issues is in the same arm, but in the lower part from the elbow to the hand. that one is neuropathy. They said I had a severely pinched nerve in my neck spine so surgery removed several vertebrae a year or so ago and replaced with titanium spacers. No change in pain at all. Dr said nerve may have been damaged so bad that pain wont stop. Most of the time either the upper arm/shoulder hurts or the lower neuropathic parts hurts or both. Ive been taking 800mg Gabapentin 4 times a day augmented by tylenol and ibuprofen, but as a diabetic, i need to not take as much so as to not damage my kidneys. I sure hope this works longterm. I was hurting really bad last night. Took 2 of the gummies snd didnmt sleep all that well but woke up this morning pretty much not hurting. I took another gummy this morning and will try another one before bedtime. Praying this works as pain doesnt make for a good quality of life.

Does it last during the day too?

Just got mine in. Do you take two at once or do you space them out? _im ready not to hurt.

My cousin in Chattanooga tried to order a 2022 hrdrid Maverick, but when they stopped production on those he got swapped to an order for the 2023 XL version for around what you paid. Seems like he said a little less. He has his now and really loves it and gets great mileage. The prices sure go up quick when you start adding tech/the one I wanted was over 40k and im just not doing that. Plus they were adding 5k over invoice, just cuz they can.
-
I'm sure someone can, but I do remember when they passed the bill to allow it, there was a provision that no new signage was required to be posted, due to monetary issues in that. But yes, that sure left things very murky for gun owners, the public, and heck, even many LEOs don't keep up with our arcane and convoluted gun laws. Juat scrap the laws that make it a crime to be constitutionally armed. that'd fix a LOT of issues.

I believe you can now carry there unless school is there for some reason.

Nice! I am in a position where I don’t NEED a truck, I just WANT one. Wife kinda wants my larger SUV so was gonna sell her smaller SUV and get neva truck. Finally decided on a fire maverick after seeing the prices on bigger trucks. The maverick is outrageous new and used. Plus dealers are adding 5k on top of sticker price just because. I decided to just keep my perfectly fine SUV.
