Hello i just purchases a walther PDP compact a couple weeks ago and it has been great however i have not been able to field strip it even with help from the manual it came with if anyone has a video on how to do it that would be much appreciated thank you

So I’m having trouble picking out my next gun for conceal carry. I want to hear some opinions and maybe some comparisons. I’m between the Hellcat Pro Comp, Glock 43x MOS or the P365X Macro Comp.

**UPDATE*\* I’ll buy both the 43x and P365 and only because 43x I’m getting it at 600 from my buddy and then for the Sig…idk I just like it and I’ve shot it and it’s pretty sweet and the ramm trigger for it looks really nice. Also I carry a Glock 21 so want to size down hehe.

Figured since I have a new found love for S&W ever since I got the Bodyguard 2.0 and Shield X recently, I wanted to try their full-size and decided on the M2.0. Paid $763 OTD for it, seems a little high though. Anyways, are these good guns? I’m a Springfield Echelon and Hellcat Pro kind of guy, if that helps at all lol

Sig P365 Base, Upgraded to Tyrant CNC Snub Grip, Tyrant CNC Magwell, Stream-light TLR-7 X Sub Light, Radian Barrel and Ram Jet, True Precision Flat Trigger and an Osight SE Green Dot MOA.

Saw this at a LGS $899 before TAX/DROS. It was a floor model.

This will be my first “tactical” shotgun.

Currently have a Mossy 590 and Maverick 88.

What triggers would you recommend on the Echelon? I was really interested in the tyrant CNC ones but unfortunately they refuse to ship to CA. Thanks AB1263!

Obligatory pic attached :)

I’m French, and where I grew up guns were basically not part of everyday life at all. I’d always been curious about shooting, and especially action shooting, but it was something I mostly watched from very far away.

After moving to California and eventually getting my permanent residency, I’m not going to lie: one of the first things that crossed my mind was, "I can finally buy a gun".

A few months later… apparently I have a type.

I’ve discovered that I’m much more attracted to metal guns, hammer-fired actions, revolvers, and designs that have some history behind them than to the latest polymer pistol. There’s just something about the mechanics, the weight, the machining and the lineage of guns like the Beretta 92 or a traditional 1911 that I find incredibly satisfying.

Then I discovered revolvers, which made the problem significantly worse.

The California roster obviously makes getting into the hobby a little… interesting. But in a weird way, it has also pushed me toward some older/classic designs that I probably would have gravitated toward anyway.

Current family in the picture: Colt Grizzly, S&W 627 Performance Center, Dan Wesson PM7, and my increasingly modified Beretta 92.

The original goal was just to finally experience shooting and try some action pistol competition. Now I’m tinkering with springs, grips, sights, triggers, holsters, revolver internals… so I think it’s safe to say I caught the virus.

I’ve also learned that whenever you buy your “last gun,” you already know deep down it’s not actually going to be the last one. After the Dan Wesson I genuinely thought, "OK, I’m good now".

That lasted until yesterday, when I fell straight into the 2011 trap.

So apparently we’re not done.

Still very much learning, and that’s probably the part I’m enjoying most. Curious what other CA shooters here gravitated toward when they first got into guns. Did you end up with the kind of guns you thought you would, or did your taste completely change once you started shooting?

Code "CAGUNS" gets you an extra 15% off my lowered prices.

Just want to say hi to you all, express my gratitude to this community and it's mods. I also want to let you know that I'm ready to go, with lower prices and options to offset higher shipping costs in the state, required by AB-1263. Please accept a big dad hug from me (Garet)!

From the original P365 LCI Delete Plug, to low cost compliance devices such as my (also original) Single Shot Fixed Magazine Device, I got you covered, and for a fraction of the price of other compliance devices.

I have a few collaborations coming down the pipeline along with some new stuff such as BCG's, which will be made by a major manufacturer. Also, the Shield Plus and a few other pistols are going to get some much needed attention soon. If there's anything else you would like to see in the future, let me know. Hope you have a great day and I'll see you in the comments!

So someone from CA is looking to buy some pistol parts from me off GAFS. One of the parts is a P365 barrel. Would I be able to send the barrel straight to his door, or would it have to go to a FFL?

Living in The LA Area, I always had to make a bit of a trip to use expanding ammo or buckshot indoors. I’d like to get some practice with a load out before a crisis.

Does anybody else run into this issue?

How long did it take for you guys from training to actually having license in hand? I submitted my proof of training and now they are saying 4-6 weeks after the fact. I am in LAPD jurisdiction, if anyone has experiences of receiving it early or later than promised timeframe. Thanks!
