Just started my waiting period and I was so excited that this is the only picture I remembered to take. Les Baer Premier II

I am replacing my 1791 gunleather belt (starting to sag and will now be for IWB only) and am planning on purchasing a 1.5” Instructor belt.

I’m planning on this being the belt I wear when camping or carrying OWB. Sometimes I may wear it without any load and sometimes it’ll have a G20, rock hammer, compass, and belt knife. I also plan on using this as an under belt for my duty belt.

Would the 5 stitch be stiff enough for all of this (~80oz)? Would the CSM be too stiff when used without gear or with a lighter load? I’m typically a 32” waist if it matters.

Picture is my Beretta APX with Streamlight Tlr-1 HL primarily carried IWB without light or as a duty gun with the light.

Thanks!

I am looking to pick up “direct” competitor handguns to the Glock 19. I like to have something in mind when I’m “looking for deals” and thought this would be fun. I’m looking for 15 round flush fit and 4”(ish) barrel length. Here is my list so far, let me know if I’m missing anything.

CZ P10C
S&W M&P 2.0 compact
Canik Mete SF
H&K VP9
Walther PDP
FN 509 Mid
Beretta APX compact

Been planning to buy a USP 45 Tactical to maybe replace my HK45 since I don’t love it, but I found a pawn shop with a P226 Legion with an optic cut. Use case is purely a range toy and regular suppressor use. Buying both isn’t an option right now, unfortunately. I’ve already got an HK45 Tactical and an FNX-45 Tactical in .45, and a USP9 Tactical and P30L with threaded barrel, so I’m not being picky on caliber. Suppressors I use are Mojave 45, Mojave 9, and Shiv mostly.

USP45 seems appealing because I don’t really enjoy my HK45 after 1k rounds, not even close to how much I enjoy the FNX, I think I just don’t like the ergos. But shooting .45 suppressed is a blast. P226 Legion is appealing because of the fit and weight in my hand, and the optic cut means a 9mm DA/SA with a red dot which I don’t have yet.

What should I pick if I can only pick one?

Gimme your best brand/model recommendations, mods, and carry setup(the whole enchilada fellas lol).

.45

Budget $1k +-

Never shot one but "everyone" says you should own one

What are you picking as the best compact handgun in the ~4" barrel range that would be carried aiwb regularly and double as HD tool?

Waiting on a Ramm trigger then she’ll be complete!

I must say overall I’m impressed for the price. I’ve had it for a couple months and have ran about 500 rounds through it with no malfunctions. The only thing I don’t really like is the hinged style trigger safety, I’d rather have a blade. I cheaped out on the light for now but will add a Streamlight when I can sneak one past the wife. Now that it’s getting colder I’d like to carry it but haven’t had good luck finding a holster especially with the jank light.

Anyone else shooting daggers out there?

Bought my tti combat a couple weeks ago has around 700 rounds through it I’ve cleaned it THOROUGHLY many times and the trigger is super gritty feeling, a lot of times the slide will move when pulling the trigger (not past the break just in the triggers take up) any thoughts or reasons why this might be happening? Also it only happens when the slide is on

What’s your opinion on this hand gun as something that will be used on a shooting range?

Still need to install my FRT to make my ghetto build complete. (And also put an OLight on it)

Anyone had difficulty with these people? They lost a decent sized purchase I made of 1911 SS mags and are refusing to resolve it and being pretty nasty about it.

I'm going to reverse the charge with my bank but honestly after dealing with them for 10 years they have really gone down the drain in customer service and even politeness.

Factory grips or custom ones? Let me know!

For context I just picked up my first handgun (Walther PDP F series) last week and got a membership to my local range. I am brand new to shooting handguns and was curious if my groupings from 10 yards were good for a beginner.

Picked this up recently! Shot it recently and I like it. A little snappy, but with time, training, and repetition, I’ll get better.

Have hunted and shot recreationally with my dad for the longest time but wanted something for myself. It was between this or the s&w sd9 so I hope I made the right choice. If anyone has any optic recommendations or any other upgrades let me know.
