I've had a few folks ask about just the Trijicon RMR. Understandable! They're great optics. I have edited the original post to outline the terms of splitting the set apart. If the slide sells without the optic, I'll list the optic separately. Until then, I'd like to keep this together as a "turn key" setup for prospective buyers.

SOLD! Kizer Maestro S35VN Frame Lock Reverse Tanto Knife. This is a catch and release for me. It is a hell of a cool knife, big and light-weight with superb S35VN steel and a titanium frame. I ordered it on a whim and decided that it really just wasn't for me. It is brand new in the box and has only been opened for inspection and photos. I sliced one sheet of paper with it just to assess how sharp the blade is, and it is RAZOR sharp. It has never been used to cut anything else, the blade has the factory edge on it, it has never been carried. Factory Specifications? Overall Length: 8.32" Blade Length: 3.57" Blade Material: CPM-S35VN Reverse Tanto Blade Satin Finish Plain Edge Handle Length: 4.75" Handle Material: Gray Titanium Right Hand Carry Tip-Up Pocket Clip Manual Opening Flipper Opening Mechanism Frame Lock Sale Value? MSRP is $169 on the site where I ordered it. Currently out of stock. Kizer Maestro Frame Lock Knife Gray Titanium Handle Plain S35VN Reverse Tanto Blade Ki4529 (whitemountainknives.com) Sale Price and Terms of Sale? $110 shipped to you via USPS. If you want insurance, I can add that but it will be extra. Payment via PayPal Friends and Family. Add 3% if you want to use Goods and Services, to cover the insurance it provides you. Not interested in trades. Actual Photos? You bet. Click them to see larger versions.

For what it's worth, I've been around guns my entire life. When I was a kid I devoured gun magazines and gun books like candy. The Mateba is a new one for me.

We have an Ignore Feature. It's found under your user control panel. Ignored Users - TNGunOwners.com You can also hover over a person's name in the information about their post (their name, location, etc.) and choose Ignore from a menu that pops up there. Just note that you can't ignore Staff (Administrators or Moderators) or our Vendors.

Ugh. That price will kill it before it even gets rolling.

### SOLD! ### Upgrade your Gen 5 Glock 19 or Glock 45 with this ZEV Orion Slide made of 17-4 Stainless Steel and coated in an insanely durable Black DLC finish. This is available WITH or WITHOUT the Trijicon RMR Model RM07 6.5MOA optic. (See pricing below) The slide will include the Zev Iron Sights that you see in the photos. (These retail for $115) Splitting the Set? If the slide sells first, without the Trijicon RMR, I will list the RMR separately. Until the slide sells, I want to keep this together as a set for potential buyers. Physical Condition: The slide is stripped of internals except for the striker channel liner, exactly how it came from Zev. The slide is in 8/10 condition. There are two small signs of holster wear that I show in the photos. They are on the leading edge of the slide, one on either side. I circled them in red. These do not and will not corrode thanks to the slide being made of 17-4 Stainless. The slide is used. It shows no signs of premature wear, abuse, failure, etc. It's in great shape! The Trijicon RM06 Type-2 optic is in excellent condition. No scratches on the lens or optic body and it functions perfectly. The Type-2 design allows for auto-adjusting to lighting conditions, or you can override and set the brightness of the 6.5MOA dot manually. Why am I selling it? I am selling it because I've moved to an Agency Arms Glock 19. I don't have a need for this slide anymore. Sale Value? Slide MSRP is $550. They are out of stock everywhere right now. Iron sights MSRP is $115 Trijicon RM06 Type-2 optic MSRP is $470 Terms of Sale? $400 if you just want the slide with iron sights ONLY. $800 if you want the slide with iron sights and Trijicon RMR RM06. These prices will include S&H to you in the lower 48 states. If you want insurance, it will be extra. If you're in HI or AK, we'll need to talk about shipping charges. I greatly prefer to ship versus meeting in person. My schedule sucks. It's an option, but it will be difficult. Payment needs to be CASH money or PayPal F&F. (If paying a PayPal Goods & Services, please add 3% to cover the fees and insurance that it buys you) Here are the photos. Again, the blems are circled in red in two of the photos. There are no other blems, but despite my best effort to brush away all of the dust particles, there are plenty of them in the extreme close-ups. Click on the photo to have the forum software show you the full-size version. If you want additional photos, just ask and I will try to accommodate.

Now, you cannot know my intentions. Everything about guns, maybe, but not my most private of thoughts.

I had a 2020 Chevy Trail Boss LT with the 6.2L engine. It started showing signs of the lifter problems that were plaguing all of them, with less than 3,000 miles on it. I asked about wait time for repair and was told it could be 8-12 weeks, minimum, but to go ahead and bring it in and they'd get it in the queue. No loaner provided. I dumped the truck and bought a different one. So, yeah... my M.O. is not to put up with this kind of ####. Actually, the M&P was going to be something new in my carry rotation. It might still be, one of these days. I've got other irons in the fire. I'm overhauling one of my old faithful Glock 19s with new stuff. The last of the parts arrive tomorrow.

I do think I'd rather the CHPWS plate over the diecast Walther plate, though. It sounds like you have one, so I'd give that a whirl and forego any of the factory Walther stuff.

The CHPWS plate on mine fits nice and tight. The forces that an optic are exposed to under reciprocation of the slide are not lateral. They are fore and aft. The slide pocket does a fine job of controlling movement those directions. Watch the Sage Dynamics video. What are you asking them to warranty? The slide isn't likely to break. A screw might, but I guess they'd remove the screw and replace it if that happens. I doubt they would stand behind any damage to your optic, or to your person if the optic somehow came loose and turned you into a pirate.

No idea. I've read that oil isn't as non-renewable as most folks claim or assume, though. Which makes sense if you consider that oil is basically the result of decomposition and incredible pressure and thermal forces. That stuff is still happening deep beneath us.

Yep. I will state, for the record, that I maintained politeness with the lady on the phone who informed me of the 6-8 week wait for the gun to be seen by a gunsmith. I did ask that she advance me to a supervisor so that I could ask for some sort of prioritization given that it was in fact brand new, straight out of the box. She sent me to someone's voicemail box and I haven't heard back yet. So, my politeness for this situation is pretty much gone at this point. Their service sucks rocks until they prove otherwise. The clock is ticking.

It was insane how far those exits are apart from one another.

Congratulations. Again, congratulations. Apply for a job with Tesla in their rescue squad. With your impeccable attention to detail and careful forethought, you should be a shoe-in for someone to drive around in a Diesel F250 with a generator to rescue stranded Tesla motorists. It has been decades since I ran out of gasoline in a car. I am pretty sure I was a teenager and still new to it. BUT... If I am traveling across country or am going to be off-roading, I take spare fuel with me. Why? Because I'm not an idiot. And because things happen. And because Murphy's law is a bitch. Which goes back to me not being an idiot. Now, for an anecdotal story: Back in 2010, my wife and I decided to travel across country and see the American southwest. We were driving my 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser, which had the aerodynamic qualities of a flying cinderblock. We were on Interstate 40 somewhere between San Antonio, TX and Albuquerque, NM and had been timing our fuel stops to maximize distance between them without cutting it needlessly close. What we weren't expecting was to find that at two of the exits we were counting on, the gas stations had gone out of business and were abandoned. After I coasted into the third exit quite a distance later, on what had to be fumes and prayers, I topped off the tank and immediately headed to the nearest Wal-Mart Supercenter to buy a pair of 5-gallon fuel cans to begin carrying with us. That was my exposure to #### happening despite good planning. Now, I recognize that your planning and attention to detail and maybe even the Fairy Godmother assigned to you are all far superior to mine since you've never been in that predicament, but for me that proved the necessity of being prepared for the unexpected. And with a Tesla? You don't get that option. I hope that you are given enough advance notice of that level of disaster that you can be sure that you're in the right vehicle.

Just having fun.

Hybrids make sense to me for a lot of reasons. Electric motors have a lot of advantages over traditional driveshaft locomotion. The ability to reliably make gobs of torque and put it to the ground is fairly impossible to ignore if you just consider diesel-electric locomotives as an example. That said, purely electric cars don't make sense to me for a lot of other reasons, the consequences of which are equally impossible to ignore. Things such as... ... I can siphon gasoline or diesel fuel from containing vessels (fuel tanks, other cars, etc.) if push comes to shove. ... I can tote and transfer fuel, even propane if relevant, to a stranded vehicle fairly easily and quickly. ... My ability to do either of those things doesn't absolutely require the power grid. I have joked with my Tesla-owning friends and asked them if their equivalent of a 5-gallon jerry can full of fuel is two long-haired cats in a box that you rub together to provide an emergency charge. They very seriously told me that, no, Tesla brings a gasoline or diesel powered generator to you, towed behind a gasoline or diesel powered truck.

The rest of the firearms world media has caught up what Bob already knew and PSA formally unveiled the new "Rock" pistol at SHOT 2022. You can read about it here. [SHOT 2022] PSA Shows off their 5.7 Rock Pistol and Some PSAKs -The Firearm Blog

First Generation (aka "Old") slide on left. Second Generation (aka "New") slide on right. In a move that has set Walther owners groups afire on social media, Walther has revised the optics cut on their new PDP Pro SD model, inspiring owners of first-generation PDPs to wonder if this is just a public relations move meant to smooth over hobbyist accusations that the previous design was flawed, or if it is a silent acknowledgement that the previous design really was flawed after all. The new optics cut is dimensionally the same as the first-generation, however instead of having a flat floor beneath the mounting plate and relying solely on interference fit and two screws to hold the optics plate and optic in places, the new design introduces recessed "recoil bossses" into which protrusions from new design optics plates will sit. It would appear that first-generation optics plates will be forward compatible with the second-generation PDP slides, but the reverse will not be true. Obviously, if second-generation plates have recoil posts descending from beneath them to fit into these recessed pockets on the new slides, then those second-generation plates would not be backward compatible with the flat, smooth floor of the first-generation slides. It remains to be seen if Walther or third-parties, such as C&H or other machinists, will be able to retrofit the first-generation slides for compatibility. All of this seems to tie back to a very controversial YouTube video made by an amateur engineer wannabe, posted last year. You can see it here. And of course, I would be remiss if I did not point out that the extremely reputable Aaron Cowan of Sage Dynamics did his own torture test of the first-generation PDP and found absolutely NO MERIT to the previous YouTuber's claims. I know that if I have to pick who I am going to trust between these two, it is Aaron. And physics. And Aaron understands physics. You can see Aaron's video here.

I never realized that the Hi-Power had such a religious following. Apparently as much, if not more so, than the 1911. Interesting.

I hope that you can find one here, but I'd also keep an eye out for slides (completed and stripped) over on BigTexOrdnance.com. They receive batches of them ever so often and lately the prices have been reasonable.

Don't worry. The 2011 platform is never going to catch on either.

Here's another photo of the new FN. As usual, click it for a higher resolution look at them. PS: Anyone who says they don't like the way they look is nuts. IMO.

THAT revelation of its size and round count did move the needle for me.
