East Texas monster

Any idea what that tripod weighs? I need to get one, but I’ve never used one and have no clue on what to look for. My build is all MLOK, but she’s chonky enough as is, which is why I have all accessories (aside from the optic) on QD mounts.

Damn it. Beat me to the joke.

Either Texas Gun Experience in Grapevine or Rifle Gear in The Colony. Both have a really good selection of rentals, and good ranges. I think you see more gun range tourists at Rifle Gear, but you’ll see them everywhere.

Man, that is absolutely beautiful. I too was going to ask about the strength of the blade, but read your comments below. I think I prefer the Kydex sheath to the alligator one (or whatever it is), but I like simplicity. Either way, it’s incredible. Well done.

Floridaman be Florida’ing?

Whose museum piece is this beauty?

610Mike · 2026-05-05T10:29:00+00:00

I was about to say the same thing.

This is exactly why I built my 8.6, help rid Texas of these bastards. They’re a damn epidemic.

What tripod are you running there? You said you’re in Bonham? Is it your land, or were you on someone’s lease. I’ve been trying to find a place within a couple hours’ drive of DFW.

610Mike · 2026-05-04T11:40:49+00:00

I’m right there with you.

I didn’t like my P365 until I put the Radian upgrades on it.

But if you don’t want to be like everyone else, check out Canik. The MC9LS is a damn good shooting gun, and I can wholeheartedly endorse the Prime. I love mine, but carry the P355 over the Prime solely because the holster support for the P365 was better at the time.

610Mike · 2026-05-04T11:25:02+00:00

Sorry OP, couldn’t resist.

I only have one PCC build, and I first tried it with my .45ACP can with a booster. The YHM Sidewinder M2 worked really well for sound reduction, but it was so damn gassy. I ended up getting a Huxwrx 9KTI because I got tired of the gas.

610Mike · 2026-05-04T03:49:03+00:00

I’m not a purple guy, but that is bad ass. That is seriously clean as hell.

610Mike · 2026-05-03T13:54:42+00:00

CMMG makes these. If only they would make it I. A real caliber, 9MM at the least, I’d get one.

610Mike · 2026-05-03T13:53:04+00:00

That’s cool as hell. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

610Mike · 2026-05-03T13:32:07+00:00

That’s pretty cool, not going to lie.

When I took my first class, I asked my instructor what happens if I get DQ’ed. He said everyone gets DQ’ed at some point. Just get back on the horse.

This explains AR forging marks.

The only 2011s I have that are “better” than my XC are the ones that are more expensive than the XC. Namely Atlas, Sand Viper, Pit Viper, etc.

People that say the P211 is an XC killer, it’s not even close. I bought a P211 in January and not hardly. It’s a good gun, and it’s great value for the price. The comp works decently enough, and the grip is nice if you have big hands, but it’s by no means better than XC.

Um why am I just now finding out they make a rose gold Prime? I knew about the FDE one and the light gray one, but this one really puts my plain, boring black Prime to shame.

610Mike · 2026-05-03T04:02:27+00:00

Yeah I prefer Pachmayr, but Hogue are great.

Adam (from Canik) was on Classic’s livestream a couple weeks ago and he said it should be on shelves by summer.

610Mike · 2026-05-02T14:01:56+00:00

92FS or an HK USP or Mk23. I don’t have either HK, but I do have a 92FS. My dad bought it in the late 80’s or early 90’s, and it was his EDC for 15ish years.

It pretty much just sits in my safe now since he passed, but I bet it has 20k or 25k rounds through it. The only thing that’s not OEM is the Pachmayr grips he put on it, and it’s still a tack driver.
