PSA: Remember to Inspect your Gear

[Thearmededucator]

Consider this a PSA to inspect your carry gear. In the last 24 hours I’ve noticed my rear sight drifting AND broke my holster (NSR) during an IDPA match. 

Sucks, but better to know it now

So now the question is: do I get a new holster now, or since it’s down anyways, just send off that slide to get milled to make the transition to a red dot?

Where do you shoot IDPA?

The TWRA Range in Bartlett has matches every other Wednesday. I’m working my way back into it after a 6 year hiatus due to small children.

I show up at TWRA every blue moon.  I shoot more often at MSSA.

I’ve not been able to make one there in years. Going to try to make Sunday’s USPSA match though

I would normally be there and set up one of the stages, but my daughter has a soccer game.

Mill that slide and you may end up needing a new holster to accommodate the optic. I've not gotten into competition yet, but a red dot will make you more accurate.

Yep, I did that and didn’t think ahead.  Had to run back to the gun store to pick up a holster to last me til I could order one I really liked. And I am glad I switched.  Got one on a Glock-45 and another on my Sig P-365XL Spectre/macro.
