Generic flashlight mount for a Pistol?
FrankD replied to Ronald_55's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I have never seen anything that is for less than a 1" tube. Might be easier to get a ring for one of the 1" tube lights and throw the light with the ring in your bag if you don't want to carry. getting something affixed to your pistol quickly that will withstand recoil is going to be hard to find, this would allow you to get a light quickly while maintaing grip and holster options. https://skdtac.com/thyrm-switchback-reg-2-0-large-flashlight-ring-sb007/ -
I had one and sold it for around $400 if I recall with an OWB holster, and a handful of mags. The sight is worth around 150. They have shot up in price over the last year like everything so I wouldn't be too keen on the $400 as a benchmark. I do know that the threaded barrel is very hard to come by as only preppergunshop has them and they are over $100 by themselves, you could easily sell that on the canik forums.

Why not get the slide milled on one of your existing 19s and throw a holosun 507 on it?

How used are these goats?

I am a big fan of the ferro concepts slingster and the edgar sherman slings. Both are pretty simple 2 point slings with quick adjustment capability, my pick between the two would be the slingster, just be advised the metal adjustment buckle will rub against your upper/optic.

your best bet is to refresh the aero precision blemished page 24 hours a day to snag lower/uppers/rails. They go within minutes of being posted so you gotta be fast or lucky.

I'm a big fan of the patagonia lightweight shorts. Maybe not as durable as some of the duluth options others have called out, but the breathability is worth it to not fight swamp a$$ all summer.

I've used the exact same case for travel and it has been fine. Good choice not using a big box that says "GLOCK" on the front. One other word of caution it seems that if you have TSA PreCheck you will still end up going through normal security if you have checked a firearm, not a huge deal just a note if you typically cut it close on your times.

Future rush on low capacity guns?
FrankD replied to Parrothead's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
The good news is that if there is a limit on mag capacity the criminals will also adhere to same regulations so us responsible gun owners will be on a level playing field with the folks trying to do harm. -
Ive got two built up, one 7.5" 5.56 and another 10.5" 5.56. I have been really impressed with them, have take a couple courses with the 10.5 and it held up just fine. I would have no qualms about getting more of them I did tap the buffer retainer detent spring hole on both and the plastic seems to be holding up just fine.

Royal Range USA - Defensive Revolver Course (review)
FrankD replied to JimHouchin's topic in Training Discussions
I've taken a handful of classes of RR and all but one were with Shane, agree he is top notch and does a fantastic job. Very impressed with the whole operation out there. -
on other thing to consider is if you are looking to ever add a dot to the pistol the Hellcat offers an OSP model that comes milled for an optic. I actually got the 365 XL and swapped out a 365 grip module to retain the concealability while providing the longer/milled slide. With a holosun 507K it makes a dandy little package.

Don't miss out on the hi-cap mags
FrankD replied to Dirtshooter's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
enough = your current qty + 10 I see them sell on here and other forums for roughly what I pay for them (even in 2019) if I catch a deal, with that in mind they are pretty stable and worst case scenario they are worth a whole lot more if something goes awry. I can recall people paying $30 for PMAGs after Sandyhook. If they are ~$10 each I will pick em up. -
Advice on Supressor purchase
FrankD replied to Cevans's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Agree you are looking at at least 2 cans, even your 30 cal and rimfire cans will not work for your 9mm. Handgun cans aren't too great honestly for centerfire, I would stick with your two options and go from there. My personal 30 cal choice was a Rugged Surge, I am likely going to pull the trigger on a dead air mask for my rimfire needs in the next couple of weeks. -
Drop Leg Holster for Canik TP9SFX???
FrankD replied to ezrydr's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
smoky mtn concealment makes a lot of canik stuff, but I don't think they offer one with active retention. -
Need a sight recommendation for my AR-15
FrankD replied to LagerHead's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I am a big fan of the Holosun 510C, open reflex style sight window and excellent batter life. Can be had for around $250-$275 if you shop around. -

Experience with Primary Arms and Vortex 1-6 or 1-8 LPVO
FrankD replied to TGO David's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I've got a PA 1-6 ACSS that I got on a Black Friday sale a couple years ago. For the money it has been a champ, I typically shoot my shorter guns more so don't get to pull it out much, but have always been impressed with the clarity. I haven't read many bad reviews of the PA ones. Might want to take a look at the swampfox offerings as well. -
Legality of SBR for concealed carry
FrankD replied to F4iGuy599's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
I love that the two options up for consideration here are either an ultra concealable "single" stack 9mm or an MP5K in a shoulder rig. -
HURRY QUICK 5.56 AT CTD "ON SALE"
FrankD replied to Magiccarpetrides's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I recall their .22LR prices during the last ammo shortage were laughable, have not been on their site since. -
I don't know about the concept of using bluetooth to unlock a safe I wanted rapid access to, if I am thinking about this right I would have to unlock my phone, open an app, and hit unlock before I could access the contents of the safe? Seems like a lot of potential pitfalls there and more interfaces than a simple 4 button lock. I have a sentry fingerprint model that has been a stud for a while now, has a 4 button backup should the reader fail for some reason.
