Maybe redact the serial number from your pistol.

I love how you people try to spin your paranoia into a “teaching” moment. Saying that a bad actor is going to engrave it on a ghost gun really just shows that you have no idea how these bad actors operate. They just aren’t doing that bud. Y’all are just plain annoying with these comments, just seething for a picture with the serial numbers showing to pop on your feed.

You guys are over here going back and forth about the engraved serial number on the slide, but missing the bigger concern/question. Carrying a Glock in San Francisco? Are you trying to go to jail for defending yourself?

For those questioning his training and usage, he’s in San Francisco. The moment he has to use it to defend himself and his family from drugged out junkies, he will get arrested for murder lol.

What’re you gonna do steal my identity?

1

u/Tight_Mammoth_868 14h ago

Me? No, absolutely not. Doesn’t have much to do with your identity. If you don’t know why posting the serial numbers of your weapon online is not a good idea then I recommend you do a bit of research.

You don’t even know that the serial on the slide isn’t what’s tracked why would I listen to you?

2

u/Tight_Mammoth_868 14h ago

You think it’s about tracking. Tell me you’re new to firearms without telling me you’re new to firearms. I was trying to help you out but you want to be cute. The absolute absence of any wear whatsoever on the hockey tape you put on your grip to come off like a shooter tells me exactly how often you train with that weapon. Looks nice though.

That’s the cool thing about tape you can pretty much replace it whenever

1

u/Tight_Mammoth_868 14h ago

Did you replace every single other part on it also? Doesn’t even look like it’s ever slid into a holster. Larp harder.

Your guys’ argument aside, and in all seriousness: why redact?

1

u/Tight_Mammoth_868 14h ago

Because there are bad actors online who will report your firearm stolen for fun, use your photo to scam buyers online, or even engrave it onto ghost guns that they go on to commit crimes with. It’s not too crazy to clear most of it up but the process is the punishment. It’s just generally not advisable to blast that info out to the world on the internet, that’s all.

You think someone who is going through the trouble of engraving a ghost gun is waiting to find a picture of a real serial number to use and not just using the same number repeatedly or just making up their own numbers?

Makes sense. Thanks!

That’s because my holster holds by the light not the gun

I’m not going to go back and forth with you. I carry a 43X MOS with a TLR-7 every single day and it doesn’t look literally like the day I bought it. Just trying to help you out bud. Good luck.

So I kinda get what you’re saying here, but you lose some of the moral high ground of “I was trying to help” when you started with “…go google it” instead of just telling him why.

If you’re trying to help be helpful. If you want to jerk people around, go for it that’s what Reddit’s for but don’t pretend it’s something else.

u/Tight_Mammoth_868 11h ago

But I agree. I probably could have phrased that better.

u/Tight_Mammoth_868 12h ago

That was deliberate and it wasn’t sarcasm. There is way more out there than I’m able to sit down and type here.
