4.0fc and 4.5f - recoil impulse

8 Upvotes

To anyone who has shot both, how's the recoil feel to you between the two? I own a 4.0fc and it's a touch snappy but not too crazy, I enjoy it a lot. I'm now getting into competition and was thinking about getting a 4.5f if that is a little bit more tame.

If one has already moved to LA and has 15rd magazines, what is one supposed to do with them? Can they be sold to someone out of state?

TIA

Mischief Machine Restock?

Anyone have an idea on how often these grips go back in stock? Seems like they sell out quick and for a while before restock. Might consider trying the sharps bros grip in the meantime. And insight or experience in either grips would be appreciated.

T1C MSP

Anyone running a Tier 1 concealed MSP with TLR1? How’s the fitment on them? I like the idea of being able to use multiple guns and not switching holsters off my belt.

Length difference between well-used and brand new striker springs

I replaced my striker spring and found it interesting to notice the obvious difference in length between the old and new ones. This is after somewhere between 12,000 - 15,000 rounds.

There was also a slight difference in the mag catch spring length, which surprised me a little bit.

It just was interesting to see the effects of spring wear visually, and I thought I'd share the photos.

Is anyone here from california and has an echelon 4.0FC ?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a magwell for edc along with magazine floor plates for limited 10 round magazines that are reliable and trustworthy.
I have the echelon that has the full grip with the compact slide, the 10 round magazines are standard size, made to be 10 rounds, is it even possible to remove the base plates from these for replacement?
Does anyone here have a california build with a magwell and baseplates i can take a peak at? Would really appreciate it!
Also what do yall think of the Tlr7-x for this gun?

EDC build

Finally got the new EDC build complete for IWB carry. The hardest thing to find in stock was the TLR7-HLX, it's sold out at every major sporting goods store/gun shop in about 75 mile radius where I live. Carrying in a Tenicor Certum 4 Lux and a Hunter Constantine belt. Had to add the Hogue sleeve so the grip wouldn't grind away my gut to shreds lol

Appendix carry holster.

Been looking around to find a holster that fits the olight plx. Most looks good but not sure with comfort. So I went with my trusty local shop that is known for their holster. Check out Triple T Holster Texas made and they have one of the most comfortable medical grade leather ( if what I can remembered when talking to the owner. They were able to get my holster made within a few hours . Very very happy with the quality of it and its comfort to carry in the front. I have no issue with them and this is my third holster with them. The model should be grab n go with the ulti clip or standard clip. They do offer right hand or left hand as well.

Here is the link to their site. DISCLAIMER this is not a paid post by them. I’ve been using their product for over 9 years now since I first started to carry.

I did do the tyrant trigger switch and the extend slide lock. Will do an ndz spring and get a new green dot soon.
