That is a solid package. Very similar to my EDC.

S&W needs to stop letting the fudds drive their product strategies. Anyone on TGO who is a serious student of the modern fighting pistol could make the S&W product catalog more relevant to the desires of the buying public and therefore more profitable. I half expect them to trot out a new revolver-fed rifle, that absolutely no one is asking for, at every trade show they attend.

That is NOT proven to be the case with the P320. Again, tolerance stacking within the sear and striker components seems like a possible culprit.

I avoided responding earlier, but the 1911 analogy is flawed. Just stop. Guns can be safe without being made of steel or having grip safeties and thumb safeties. Technology has advanced past that. The supposed problem with the Sig P320 doesn't have anything to do with the trigger being pulled, so a thumb safety isn't the answer and neither is giving it a trigger safety "dingus" like Glocks and others use. Further, the P320 has a firing pin safety, but it inserts less material in front of the striker than a Glock, M&P or similar do. The supposed problem with the P320 has to do with the dimunitive contact patch or engagement area between the sear and the striker, and perhaps even variances in machining tolerances for the bits and pieces that are supposed to work together to prevent the striker from moving forward without a trigger pull causing the sear to fall. This is supposedly why some guns do it and others don't. It's also probably what Bruce Grey and team are inspecting when they review a customer's gun. 1911 and 2011 guys are foaming at the mouth to get in on this topic all across social media because it makes them feel relevant, but it's just noise. The lack of external safeties ain't the problem.

Something is awry, even if it is just that Sig did very little to openly address the issue when it was "lore" and hadn't completely become widely accepted as being true, regardless of the validity of the claims. I have one and I really like it, but I have also sidelined it until I have more reasons than a PR statement to restore my confidence in it.

It's not 100% yet but it's better than it was. Will try to get a better fix in place over the next week.

I will look into it, but it may be Tuesday before I can. The next two days are booked solid for me.

Summary Upgrade to January 2025 forum software release. Explanation Invision Community 4.7.20 Released 1/29/2025 Key Changes This is our January maintenance release. https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/4720-r132 Of importance to note, this update paves the way for the new Version 5 of the Invision forum software coming in the near future. There are a lot of changes coming with version 5, many of which even I am not fully familiar with yet. If you care about such things, you can read various articles posted about what's coming over at their support site: https://invisioncommunity.com/news/

Yes, I'd cancel the PayPal subscription and try again. Something has gotten out of sync between the forum and PayPal.

You had a few expired Benefactor memberships that were eligible for renewal. I canceled them entirely, so you should be able to re-subscribe under a new one now.

A little more information added above. Thanks.

If you are part of a safety/security program for your church, synagogue, or faith-based school or organization within driving distance of Nashville, or have personal contacts filling those roles, message me privately please. I am helping organize a private event in March that will be of interest. Material will be presented by two former CIA members on the current and emerging threat of terror attacks by ISIS and Al Qaeda against faith based organizations in the United States. Pastoral leaders, principals of faith-based schools, and leaders of faith-based organizations are welcomed and encouraged to attend with their safety/security leads. This is a private event. Security will be very tight. Advance RSVP will be required for admission. This the most public thing you will see mentioned about it until after the event has occurred. Again, message me if you are a team leader for a safety/security program at your church or synagogue or can put me in touch with them. Also if you are a security leader or officer for a faith-based school or college. Thanks! **Driving distance means whatever you want it to mean. I'm expecting a few people from other states.

Thanks. I know a few people who might be interested.

I carry one of these daily and have had several folks ask about mine. Does yours have the Gen 1or the Gen 2 optic cut? I'll be glad to pass word of it along to some folks who have inquired about mine.

Allow me to bring this thread back from the dead... So, twelve or thirteen years ago I started taking Krav Maga classes. It lasted about 4-5 months and then I quit. Work and other things in life got in the way and I just lost the drive. >>> Fast forward to December 2024 >>> While my brother in law was visiting for Christmas he told us that he and his wife had begun taking Krav Maga classes. They spoke about how much they enjoyed it, how challenging it was, and so forth. Given that several of my friends have been hounding me about coming back to join them at Krav classes, it set a slowly smoldering fire in the wet leaves of my give-a-damn. One of those friends started his Krav Maga journey 12 years or so at around the same time I did and passed his black belt test in mid 2024. Talk about something that catches your attention! Realizing that two of us took wildly diverging paths and one of us ended up with their black belt while the other kept buying progressively larger belts.... Yeah. >>> Fast forward to January 2025 >>> One of those friends told me on New Years Day, quite coyly, about a gift pass that he had for a free month of unlimited Krav Maga classes. It was the proverbial straw that broke the fat camel's back. "Say no more. I'm in.", I said. >>> Fast forward to January 30, 2024 >>> And now here we are at the end of my third week of returning to the art. Three classes a week, more or less. (I had to miss a Saturday due to family commitments) I totally suck at it. I've forgotten most of what I learned previously. I'm nearly 15 years older and probably 75 pounds heavier than I was back then too. BUT... I'm loving it. Clothes are getting looser. Stamina is increasing. I'm allowing myself some grace and mercy and allowing myself to be terrible at it, rather than being the usual maladaptive perfectionist that I normally am. It feels like the journey I am supposed to be on, embracing my limitations and imperfections, and trusting that the process will slowly erode both of those things while it also erodes some of those 75 extra pounds. The point of all of this? I just want to encourage you. You aren't out of the game until you sideline yourself. Life will try to sideline you, but it can't unless you let it. It may slow you down. It may limit you. But you don't have to quit unless quitting sounds like a good way to go out. Get out there and do something that challenges you this year. Six months from now, I hope to be surprised at what I've accomplished.

It's attempted murder. Of children. IMO, the conclusion of this should be the death penalty if he's found guilty.

These are the new metal Glock compatible mags that Staccato is running with the new Staccato HD pistol. What I failed to appreciate when looking at the leak of the new HD is that these mags are Glock 19 size and carry 18 rounds. Read that again carefully. They are Glock 19 size. And carry 18 rounds. https://themagshack.com/shop/pistol-magazines/9mm/mec-gar-9mm-18-round-magazine-for-glock-19/

I don't think you really read the material or stopped to understand why this mount is likely very superior to the MOS system. I am personally aware of 10-12 individuals who have had MOS plates and screws fail, or who inadvertently used the wrong length screw and cause the MOS plates to bend (and fail).

Yes.

Agreed. If the optic hasn't been through his gauntlet, I will barely consider it.

Another pre-SHOT leak. This time it's Primary Arms new HTX-1 enclosed emitter optic. https://www.primaryarms.com/htx-1 This one looks REALLY interesting to me as it uses a modular chassis system that, unlike conventional optics mounting plates, adds nothing to the overall height of the optic over the slide. In fact, if you watch the video that Primary Arms did for the announcement you will see that the optic co-witnesses with standard height Glock sights on a Glock MOS pistol. The chassis system also has a chassis plate that is compatible with the RMR-2 type mount that uses posts for the screw mounts. Zev slides and the Zev OZ9 are two slides that immediately come to mind as using this style mount which has hitherto made it challenging to find optics that were completely compatible if they deviated from the RMR footprint in the slightest. More info here...

In case you haven't already seen it, Glock and Aimpoint have collaborated to deliver a new variant of several Glock models this year, each featuring a slide cut with a new Aimpoint optics mounting footprint designed to work with Aimpoint's new COA pistol optic. Before you totally dismiss it as the answer to a problem that no one was asking, it really is worth looking at. Not something I'd rush to replace ANY of my existing Glocks with, but (a.) it designed as a package primarily meant for organizations looking to move to optics-equipped handguns, and (b.) it might be worth considering later in the year (or next) if you are in the market for a new gun and optic.
