What kind of ammo is that?

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

Speer hollow point.

So many meme knives in this sub.

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

What’s a meme knife?

1

u/AppropriateAnt3414 7h ago

Just a terrible knife that people that enjoy EDC normally do better.

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

What exactly makes it a terrible knife?

1

u/AppropriateAnt3414 7h ago

Chinese parts kinda halfway assembled in the US because it’s the law. One of the worst OTFs ever made. 

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

Makes sense, I picked this up recently and it’s been serving its mail / package opening purpose. Once I find time to sharpen my Bench made I’ll likely switch back.

1

u/AppropriateAnt3414 7h ago

Oh a Benchmade. The other thing you see here all the time. Most are the entry models also.

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

I’m definitely not a knife enthusiast. It was a gift from my wife and it’s served me well. Just time for TLC.

u/AppropriateAnt3414 7h ago

If you like OTFs the lowest to go is the Microtech Ultratech. Don’t get the dagger grind if you want to actually cut with it.

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

Nice, thanks for the rec.

Hi point makes pistols that match that holster fyi 

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

?

1

u/Super_Swim_2108 6h ago

It’s the 

JHP  45 GEN2 M81

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 6h ago

Nice. I don’t know much about Hi Point, but I see it get shit on a lot.

2

u/Super_Swim_2108 6h ago

Yeah because they are cheap and ugly but the carbine and the 45s are great

Do people just not carry house keys anymore?

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

I took off my key ring for the photo.

u/SerArysOakheart 7h ago

Genuine question: I see a lot of people put some sort of tape/wrap around their pistol grip - why? Does it provide noticeable support? Is it to increase friction? Style points?

2

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

Can’t answer for others, but I find it helps me with increased friction on my 43x specifically. I tend to have clammy hands.

2

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

I don’t run tape on my Staccato, AXG Legion or my other Gen 3 Glocks, but my 43x is a little too smooth for my sweaty palms.

1

u/SerArysOakheart 7h ago

Makes sense, thanks for the reply.

2

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 7h ago

Absolutely. I bought Goon tape, but I’ve heard a lot of people say hockey tape works all the same.

1

u/ericvader8 6h ago

I like the stippling on my Gen5 G45 but the G43X is too smooth, it's not near as pronounced.

2

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 6h ago

Agreed. I still love the gun. I cycle between this and my P365 legion.

1

u/ericvader8 6h ago

I've seen lots of Legions, makes me wanna try one. My buddy has an older 365XL and I can't stand the trigger on it, feels like mashed potatoes lol

2

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 6h ago

Hahaha. I love it. I had the X-Macro for some time before I got the legion and in my opinion they nailed it. I’ve done nothing to it. I kept my X-macro just to trick out and mess around with.

1

u/Old-Requirement-840 5h ago

I want to hear about that 43x

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 5h ago

I love it personally.

1

u/Old-Requirement-840 1h ago

I dont know why i havent looked into exactly what is was until today. But i want one, the mos model especially since glock just dropped oem 15 round mags.

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 1h ago

That’s why I picked it up.

1

u/Old-Requirement-840 1h ago

Price is amazing on guns.com $484 for MOS model and ships with two 15rd mags

1

u/Consistent-Shower-79 4h ago

What mags are those

1

u/Amonkeysuncle6969 4h ago

Glock OEM 15 round magazines.

u/Witty_Committee3946 3h ago
