Let's start with this: What error are you getting? Or, what behavior are you seeing when you attempt to post from your phone? I was able to test from Safari on my iPhone a moment ago, and it worked for me.

Hey Russ. Haggle privately. Ask the seller to contact you. Those are the rules.

Summary Members are now allowed to change their screen name once every 90 days and can do so as soon as Day-1 of their membership. You can find the option to do this in your Account Settings page. Explanation Members have always been able to change their screen names, but previously they had to have been a member for at least 90-Days or have made a certian number of posts before they could. This sounded great (to me) in theory but in practice it was also very short-sighted (of me). It is not rare for a new member to register for an account and then wish they had not used their real name for their screen name, or realized that they made a typographical error in their screen name. This change fixes that problem and allows folks one name change immediately, if they so desire, but also keeps it from being an unending game of "Who's Who?"

I am going to try to use this thread to journal significant changes to TGO's software and configuration of that software, over time. As such I will be the only one who will be posting to it, but you can always link to a certain post (from another) to ask questions or for whatever other purpose you might have.

New ATF rules dropped today.

This is your regular reminder that elections have consequences. -
That's a hard pill to swallow but it's good for us none the less.

May 7 Pocket Pistol Training Day !
TGO David replied to Cruel Hand Luke's topic in Training Discussions
This sounds like a great one for folks to consider attending as the warmer months approach. Most folks put aside their full-size guns and start thinking about smaller carry options during the Spring and Summer. Probably a really good refresher for people who just want a structured way to knock the seasonal rust off of their skills and get tuned up! -
@Defender did you have one that you were wanting to part with?
-
Oh geez. I started carrying back around 1993 or 1994 when I lived in Kentucky and could probably fill a small gun store with the things I've owned and carried since then.
-
I'm an enabler. I have 1/4-inch between the rear of the ejection port and front face of the optic cut on my gun. Compare that to yours and then compare how your holster aligns with your gun's ejection port. Your holster will probably still work.

Range Report: First Outing I was able to make it to the range today after work and get in a few shots. My initial impressions of the gun are very favorable, especially for my intended purpose of having something smaller and lighter weight than my Glock 19 or Sig P320 XCompact for more discrete carry. I do want and need more range-time with it, though. Feel and Handling I ran the gun with the Wilson Combat grip module installed. Since returning home, I have put the factory laser-stippled Sig Sauer grip module back on it. While the Wilson grip feels like it fills the hand more, I feel like I get a better actual grip with the Sig module. Go figure. Running 124gr 9mm FMJ Fiocchi ammo, the gun is plenty snappy. Compensators are not muzzle brakes. They do little or nothing to mitigate the recoil of the gun. They do combat muzzle climb, but that doesn't translate to feel. It translates to a gun that "shoots flatter" which means you reacquire your sight picture on target faster. People need to understand this and keep it in mind when they shoot compensated handguns. It doesn't change what most people describe as "FEEL". This is still a smaller gun and you are still going to feel it pressing into the bony heel of your dominant hand when you shoot it. It is not as comfortable as shooting a larger gun with a larger grip that spreads the shock across a larger surface area in your hand. Period. That said, I did not find it to be uncomfortable to shoot and I put about 100 rounds through it within a pretty short period of time. Handling of the gun was certainly better than that of my plain Jane P365. Muzzle flip was controllable which made the optic's dot easy to track between shots and quicker to return to target. I found this to be even more striking as I ran the gun faster and faster. It shot flat enough that running it fast wasn't a problem at all. Overall Function I ran 100rds through it within a 30-minute span of time. I did not clean or lube it ahead of my range session. It was only lubed with whatever Sig put on it at the factory. I had ZERO malfunctions. It fed, fired and ejected flawlessly. Spent brass landed reliably within the same general area, so I am confident that it wasn't throwing brass willy-nilly all over the place. Accuracy was excellent. I did have to adjust the way I grasped the gun, however. The grouping for my first few magazines was pretty ugly. It dawned on me that I had some slop in how my support hand was grasping the grip, so I tweaked that a little and got excellent accuracy as a result. To be honest... this showed me that I probably have been incorporating the same amount of slop in my grip on my P320 and could likely make it run better by indexing my support hand the same way. I plan to give it a try. Hell, I am almost 30-years into my study of the handgun and I love that I can still learn to do things better. Anyway... when I did my part, the gun did its. 1-inch groups at 7-yards are pretty easy. This is what I expect from a Sig. It did not disappoint. Target Porn I probably need a better term for this, but here are some targets worth looking at and talking about. These targets are printed on 8.5 x 11 copier paper. The circles are 5-inches in diameter with a 1-inch dark center. The last target is from Sage Dynamics and is basically a central nervous system (CNS) brain and brain stem target. Each target was shot from a distance of 7-yards with 124gr Fiocchi 9mm FMJ. I feel good enough about these to carry the gun. Target #1: This target was the first one after getting the dot dialed in. This is a 6-round group shot at a slow and deliberate pace to confirm zero of the optic. Target #2: Moving right along, I shot the target on the other half of the paper with 10-rounds at a reasonably brisk pace to "learn the bounce" of the dot in the optic as it tracked between shots. I did not take a shot timer but I'd say that this grouping took between 4-6 seconds, just guessing at the pace. Target #3: After a few more targets like the previous one, shot at a brisk pace and getting to know how the gun tracked, I wrapped up the session with something a little faster. This is 24-rounds, total. Two 12-round mags, with a mag change in between them, at a fast pace. The strings of shots were quick. The mag change was NOT graceful. I need to spend more time in my dry-fire sessions with this gun just changing mags. The short grip and short mags require some gymnastics to reposition my dominant hand just right to allow the empty mag to cleanly drop free. I'd guess that this took about 16-17 seconds just by timing myself here in the house with an empty gun. I feel like I should want that to be faster. Conclusion Very nice gun. Small. Light. Slim. Carries easily. Love the 6MOA Holosun green dot. It tracks easily. The comp is noticeable but won't blow your socks off. I need to work on my mag changes. Small grip, small mags, Shrek fingers. Not fast. It's a keeper. I'll be carrying it often.

I did not. I got a chance to shoot it today and honestly think that I might like the factory grip module more than the Wilson. The Wilson fills the hand more, but something about the factory version feels like I am getting a firmer grip on it.
-
I'll hang on to it in case I ever decide to part with the entire gun. I wouldn't want to break the set apart and lower the resale value. Honestly, though, you want the Wilson grip module and they're a heck of a lot cheaper than the Sig laser engraved module. It is ever so slightly larger around than the Sig module and has a touch of an hour-glass / Coke bottle shape to it. Like a CZ 75 does. It really fills the hand better without being so much bigger than it ruins the P365's carryability.
-
Maybe one day but I'm actually liking it without a WML, paired up with one of my Cloud Defensive MCH handhelds.
-
Yep, I'll be hanging on to it.
-
That was a big plus for me. As much as I like comp'd guns, I want real iron sights a backup option for my dot.

I hate to hear this. One of the things about a community the size of TGO that has as many years behind it as we do is that sooner or later we find ourselves saying farewell to friends in this manner. I never gets any easier.

I'll do a review of this one soon. It arrived yesterday at @sigbrown1297's FFL and I was able to pick it up late in the afternoon. (Many thanks, Jonathan!) I installed the Holosun 407K green-dot optic on it last night and then swapped on the Wilson Combat grip module today. If all goes well, I may get to dial-in the dot and do a little shooting with it Friday or Saturday. Right now all I can offer is that I love the size, weight and the way it feels in hand and on the belt. I wore it around the house today in a new PHLSTER Pro holster and couldn't even tell it was there. I am pretty sure this will be my go-to companion for summertime use and when on duty at church. 12+1 rounds in a slim and small form factor with an optic? Winning! Pretty much stock, with the Holosun 407K optic installed. With the Wilson Combat XL grip module installed. PHLSTER Pro P365XL holster with DCC Monoblock clip.

It comes with an adapter plate that fits it to the Trijicon RMR footprint. You can also buy purpose-made adapter plates for it and various handguns at CHPWS. This is a fantastic dot, by the way. I have several of the red-dot variant and one of this exact one, the green-dot variant, on several of my guns now.

@MacGyver you need this.
