I've got a friend who put a round into his closet wall then called me asking how he could get rid of "that gunsmoke smell" before his wife found out. He swears the gun, a Glock 17, slam fired when he released the slide to chamber a round. I checked the gun thoroughly and couldn't find any evidence that the striker safety or its spring were bad but he still swears it to this day. Point being, it happens. Always keep them pointed in a direction that won't cause harm or injury should something "happen" while cleaning, clearing, stowing, etc.

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of TGO as well!

Welcome aboard!

I'm really not worried about any of that. If Trijicon announces that they are discontinuing the RMR series for some reason, I'll buy a few more of them and put them away as spares. And OEM Glock slides are cheap and easily sourced, and there are plenty of aftermarket options as well. The RMR footprint has become something of a standard already like Rebels pointed out. The only other footprint being treated somewhat the same is the Leupold Delta Point Pro, simply because of their MIL contract.

Thanks! Pretty much what Rebels010 said, plus the MOS mounting system doesn't provided a whole lot of threaded metal (and consequently uses shorter mounting screws) for the optic's screws to thread into.

I've run the Pro Connector on my Gen 5 19 for about a year now with their curved trigger. The kit that I installed in all of these was just the trigger, trigger bar, and connector. No striker spring. I'm not a fan of running lighter striker springs.
-
Thanks! I'm a sucker for the G45 now. The other one is set up with the same trigger and connector, but I left the rest of it alone other than adding a set of Frank Proctor's Mod1 "Y-Notch" sights and the Crux Ord extended mag release.

Give them a week and I can almost guarantee Doug will have a significant discount % code listed on his website and social media. He tends to run 20-40% off around holidays. PS: Check out the G45 thread I just posted for some of his work.

Something that I discovered recently was that, surprisingly despite the smaller size of my hands, the Glock 19 platform that I had carried religiously for nearly 20 years really wasn't the best platform for me. Shocker! What I discovered was that the longer grip length of the Glock 17 not only put the grip's palm swell/hump in a location that fit my hand better, but I also benefited from using the the medium back strap as it gave me more surface area to get my support hand onto. More support hand on the grip itself and not overlapping my dominant hand fingers means more actual contact with the gun and therefore better recoil management, less muzzle rise, and faster split times. My world had basically been turned on its ear. While I still wasn't a fan of the additional length of the 17 for IWB carry, especially with a compensator hanging off the end of it, the Glock model 45 suddenly made a heck of a lot more sense to me than it ever had previously. Consequently, I've started to part ways with most of my Glock 19s and have picked up two G45s as their replacement. The added bonus of course is that the G45's slide is the same length as the G19's, so all of my holsters work just fine with them. This gun is my "pimped out" carry rig for when I'm feeling a little extra sassy and don't mind a little extra bulk on me. I sent the slide off to DP Custom Works and had Doug mill it for an RMR and mill the front top of the slide with extra cocking serrations to make press-checks a little easier. While he had the slide, he re-finished it in a tough black nitride, which looks fantastic and isn't as slick as the factory Gen 5 black nDLC. I added a ZEV Gen 5 curved trigger with their tuned ZEV Pro connector, ZEV suppressor height sights, a Crux Ordnance oversized mag release, a Silencerco threaded barrel, a Parker Mountain Machine comp, and hung one of my 1,000 lumen Surefire X300-UB lights off of it. The whole thing rides very easily in a Squared Away Customs "FOXTROT" outside the waistband holster or a Legacy Firearms Company light-bearing CRONUS inside the waistband holster. As for how it shoots, I've got the dot set for a 10-yard zero and stacking rounds in a cloverleaf within a 1-inch circle at that distance isn't a difficult task for me. ** Edited to Add: These photos were taken with an Agency trigger installed, before I swapped it out for the Zev curved trigger to keep things consistent across all of my Glocks **

I've got this theory that the Israelis are pretty damned good at building functional, practical, effective weapons because they know they'll put them to use on a regular basis.

Oh, you know... the Staff likes to argue as much as everyone else does. -

We used to have Tapatalk. Getting rid of it was one of the better things I've ever done.

Gov. Bill Lee to proclaim Oct. 10 day of prayer & fasting
TGO David replied to Dirtshooter's topic in General Chat
No it's not. That's not what the First Amendment says at all. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Did Governor Lee use executive power to pass a law establishing a religion for Tennessee? Did he pass a law prohibiting the free exercise of religion? Go ahead and tell me that an invitation to prayer is somehow a law, and that law established Christianity as the official state religion, or that the invitation to prayer prohibited freedom from exercising whatever religions the people of Tennessee generally exercise, if they exercise one at all. C'mon... stretch hard for it. Because stretching hard for it is the only way you're going to somehow make a connection between the Governor's proclamation and the intent of the First Amendment, and even then you're not going to actually make contact. Your windage is going to be off. Maybe your elevation. It's going to be a warm breeze whistling past in the distance. If the founding fathers meant anything other than what they wrote, they'd have written something other than what they did. Words mean things. Simple language is meant to be interpreted simply. All attempts to draw hidden meanings or implications from the Constitution or the Amendments are scams. -

People who who argue that modern 9mm is ballistically inferior to other modern handgun service calibers are the Flat Earthers of the gun world. -

Obviously you are as entitled to your opinion as you are not to participate in a completely voluntary day of prayer and fasting. -

These have proven to be VERY durable for me. I've not been gentle on them. https://www.homedepot.com/b/RIDGID/N-5yc1vZ18g/Ntk-Extended/Ntt-rigid+tool+box?Ntx=mode+matchpartialmax&NCNI-5&storeSelection=775,734,723,722,721 -
I doubt you are are the only one who feels that way about Sig. I've had no problems out of my P365, though, and have had several of Springfield's striker fired XD models crap out on me. Hopefully the Hellcat is a totally new animal and more reliable. I am going to be skeptical of it until I see some long-range reliability results. It appears that SA still outsourced this to HS Produkt in Croatia.
