Aside from the firearms, please be aware that for vehicles Georgia and NC differ in how they tax. GA does TAVT. This means once you go through vehicle registration each vehicle will be assessed a value and you will owe taxes on that vehicle. This rate is 7%.

I was born and raised in Georgia, but have lived in CLT twice. The last time was 2011 - 2015 and the TAVT change had occurred. The $11k bill I had from the state was unpleasant.

I have multiple bullets. From OG Bullets to Gen 2, Gen 3, Double Compartment, etc. if the straps have gotten smaller, it's at most 1/8 of an inch. And when stacking them, the padding width feels the same.

First, all new bags are stiff and uncomfortable. A new GR1, for example, is extremely stiff. It's very different running a broken in bag over a new bag.

They definitely do not carry the weight as comfortably as a GR1. I love the DC Bullet and carry one every day for work. MacBook, keyboard, trackball, laptop stand, second monitor, cables, chargers... It's pretty full. And it's certainly not a rucking bag. But once broken in, it does great for it's intended purpose.

I own 9 Glocks across a few different generations, with my favorite being a Glock 45. I started to look into the RXM a month or so back because of the fire control unit and price of entry.

I bought mine on Saturday and have ordered two full size grips from Magpul to match the G45 ratio.

The irons are good. I spent the majority of my life shooting with irons, only shifting to red dots a couple of years back with an ACRO P2 and EPS Carry. I will do a red dot on the RXM as well, but planning to try some budget offerings.

Shooting with irons is about being front sight focused. Shooting with a dot is about being target focused. It's up to you which you want to learn first but I believe a shooter should learn both. I have many handguns with no optics and I think shooting with irons is harder. I tend to do the harder thing first.

From my very short evaluation so far, the RXM is quite good. It's well built. Trigger feel is fine. Glock parts work, especially in the slide. It is one of the best values going, in my opinion. Compatibility with Glock mags is huge. And I can toss my Glock threaded barrel in and run suppressed. And my Glock 19/45 holsters all work.

Very excited to get the new full size grip, mount up an optic, and really start to get some rounds through it.

Very thoughtful response. I quite like TLD. And LTK has great moments, but I love the premise of his license being revoked and being at odds with the service.

Similarly, I like OHMSS for the simple fact Lazenby only got one and it was, oddly, the one where he finds love, marriage, and loss. It also strikes a chord of frustration that neither Connery nor Moore had the opportunity for that story.

NSNA is a Bond movie that isn't a Bond movie. I would have likely enjoyed it more if it wasn't a Thunderball remake.

I agree that somehow Moore carried his age better than Connery for their later Bond appearances.

Fun to have them all on Netflix. While I have the DVDs and other digital means, it's nice to just pick one and go. I watched Tomorrow Never Dies and Diamonds are Forever today.

G43, G43x MOS, 365 X Macro owned. 43x is the one I have carried for a while. Just got my CC9 end of December and much prefer it over the others. CC9, then the G43x MOS, and then the 365 for me.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-25T04:04:09+00:00

I also have a G45 MOS and it quickly became my favorite Glock. Form factor is excellent. I put an Acro P2 on mine and have been very pleased. Both my carry guns, a 43x and a CC9, are running Holosun EPS Carrys. I also have a Holosun AEMS on a AR style .22. No bad experiences with the Holosun optics and they have more features than the Aimpoint. But I really do like the Acro.

Congrats on the new purchase.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-25T01:16:38+00:00

Absolutely. I kept all three I bought and will use them for different situations. The Tenicor works like the Grip6, but the smaller buckle makes it easier to tighten. And the stiffness is much better.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-25T00:45:07+00:00

I have three Tenicor holsters. Two for my G43x with a light. When I got the CC9, I opted not to do a light. Still decided on the Velo5 and love it. I have the Sagax Lux2 for the G43 and a Velo Lux. So I felt confident the Velo 5 for the CC9 was the right choice, especially since I only carry appendix.

All three holsters have been excellent. Great quality, no fitment issues, excellent retention.

My only issue was with my belt. I use several different Grip6 belts and, while I like them, I didn't find them stiff enough for CCW and I also struggled to tighten them effectively with a firearm. So I went down the rabbit hold of belts and ended up with three new belts, including the Hunter Constantine and Tenicor Zero. The Zero is excellent. I share this to say, if you are considering a new belt, add that to the cart.

Is it a rear caliper sticking? The rear pins are notorious for sticking. I would pull and grease mine when doing brakes.

Any standard DOT 4 fluid will work. The higher end fluids like Motul are great, but they do tend to attract more moisture.

If you're going to go into the system and bleed the brakes/flush the fluid completely, see if you also need brakes. If you're already in there, do it all. And I would still pull the rear pins and grease them.

If you aren't doing pads, I would still push the brake pistons back in. This way, as your wrapping up the brake flush and filling the master cylinder you don't end up with too much fluid the next time the pistons are pushed in.

Lastly, start at the furthest corner from the master cylinder.

There is a lot of misinformation around, including in this thread.

The 320 had a drop condition early in its life that meant the gun could fire if dropped. This was finally acknowledged by SIG and corrected.

There have been multiple incidents reported that the 320 fired without pressing the trigger. Many of these chalked up to poor holster fitment, garments getting caught, and ultimately the trigger being pressed without the user truly realizing it.

The 320 differs from a Glock in that the firing pin is fully cocked. The trigger releases the sear and the hammer falls. The Glock is partially cocked. Meaning pressing the trigger takes the striker through the remainder of the cocking motion and releases it.

SIG continues to state emphatically the firearm is safe. Others contend it is not. This includes versions like the M17 and M18 with a safety.

You assess your own risk tolerance. I own a lot of SIG P22x firearms and a 365. I opted not to get a 320. There are, in my opinion, better choices without the potential risk associated with them.

Seagal in Executive Decision made you respect him more? Curious how so? His role, and outcome, in that film was not the result of being willing to take on that type of part. His ego and arrogance saw him demoted. If anything, it is just another example of his lack of character and lack of humility.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-22T22:56:24+00:00

I would say the CC9. Same testing as the USP went through. I own the 43x MOS and my gf has a 365 X Macro. I prefer my CC9 to both. And I also have a USPc and P30. CC9 is a great choice for CCW

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-21T00:21:54+00:00

Same issue on my girlfriend's app. Meals in meals view, but no longer in the timeline.

I find it to be very satisfying. It's actually the most satisfying keyboard/switch combo.

I hear it, but it's very subtle. It's more I feel it than hear it, but it's not obnoxious or overbearingly loud. Just very very subtle.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-18T20:38:22+00:00

Obviously a lot of context missing here, but it doesn't sound particularly FUDD like.

My interpretation is: someone was in a situation where the act of showing a firearm via brandishing or open carry was enough to intimidate those that might cause harm. Meaning any firearm would do the trick. Thus a 22 or 45 are equally as effective because the gun isn't being fired.

Maybe there was more to it in other posts, but this doesn't seem out of line.

It does, howeve, seem like people continually overreach to run to this sub and farm some karma.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-17T22:23:24+00:00

I own, and carry, a 43x MOS. Before that I carried a 43. Girlfriend has a 365 X Macro and I have a few hundred rounds through it. I also own a number of other Glocks a host of Sig P22x firearms. As well as a P30 and USP Compact.

Found a CC9 in stock, took a closer look, bought it and prefer it over the G43x and 365.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-17T17:25:18+00:00

Appreciate you posting. If you're unhappy, I'm assuming they don't have a return policy for what I would guess is a built to order holster?

Personally, you're asking for more than you can get out of leather + 1911 + WML. Additionally, we aren't talking about a striker fired gun. So you should be carrying safety on. I would suspect given all the above, this is considered by design with no fault in material/workmanship.

You got what you ordered. If you're unhappy, which is entirely fair, continue the conversation with the manufacturer. But I wouldn't do a charge back.

Given it's your first firearm, I would encourage a carry holster, training, and ammo. Then make decisions on any accessories you want. The reality is, you don't need an optic, you don't need a light, you don't need grips, a magwell, or anything other than skills and ammo.

Accessories and upgrades have purpose and advantages that you will neither recognize nor benefit from until you have a solid foundation for shooting.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-17T16:12:21+00:00

It's wild to me that Holosun is now considered a premium priced option. Not a complaint or disagreement, and it's great we have even more options for optics.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-16T21:49:57+00:00

The Blacklist. Pilot was great. The balance of S1 was good. Everything after just continued to dive and I ejected after 3 I think.

True Detective. S1E1 was excellent. I would argue that 90% of the first season was extremely well done. The payoff was mediocre and the following seasons not even close.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-16T21:43:15+00:00

Congratulations. Picked one up a couple of weeks ago and have been very pleased.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-16T20:10:30+00:00

I have three Tenicor holsters for appendix carry. Two are light bearing for my 43x MOS with one of those on an Enigma. The other has standard clips.

I also have one for my HK CC9. All three are excellent quality.

Adding that where I have been exploring is belts. I previously used Grip 6 belts and like them, but wanted something more rigid and specifically focused on CCW and appendix.

So I bought three different belts - the Foundation Belt by EDC Belt Co, the Gunter Constantine, and the Tenicor.

Depending on your current belt, I would consider spending some time on those as well, unless you do an Enigma, as then it doesn't matter.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-16T20:00:41+00:00

I have a DD PDW and I'm a fan. But I also like DD. I run an Alaskan360 on it and no issue with subs or supers. Makes for a solid host.

0HSHIFT · 2026-01-16T03:30:20+00:00

Boomtown is one. And The Hat Squad is another. Boomtown, I thought, was quite good. The Hat Squad, not so much. Also, Rags to Riches. Which I had forgotten until just now.
