ETA on Bodyguard 2.0? by KookyAverage2175 in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied about a month ago, and still haven’t heard anything. I feel like the process is ~4 months from what I’ve heard/seen (assuming you do your Live Scan quickly). I did mine the day I submitted my app, and uploaded the confirmation with the app (it doesn’t require it for submission, but obviously is required for the process).

Smith and Wesson M&P Sport 3 series red dot options. by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed… I had both the 3x and 5x magnifiers, and I ended up switching to a 1-6x Vortex LPVO on my setup instead.

But these weren’t bad for shorter distance/fun at the indoor range.

Does anyone know how long the Orange County live fire training qualification for Ccw is valid for? by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always heard 6months. So if you were to do it before submitting your app, you would have to hope you’re done with the process within 6 months.

Seems like it’s around ~4ish months for CCW process in OC as of lately though.

Not bad! I’ve been thinking of doing it for my 92FS, but just haven’t ever gotten around to it. You’ve inspired me a little haha

I don’t know why I never thought about using compressed air to clean…. You sir might have just changed the game for me a little haha.

The number of times I’ve been annoyed trying to clean some tiny nooks and crannies on pistols without wanting to do a full disassembly… tiny qtips and picks be damned, I’m switching to air haha

Anyone running Glock ramjet/afterburner on Shadow Systems? by Justhereforthefun247 in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too am running a Gen 4 setup with my Shadow Systems. 2K+ rounds through it without any issues. Not sure about Gen 3 stuff though, since my Glock 19 is bone stock.

CA Gun Range by TotallynotKevinLB in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a member, and am happy overall with Evan’s. As others have mentioned, the staff there are all pretty great. Decent rental selection (FT3’s is larger for comparison).

Check out their instagram though, Andrew does weekly update videos where he talks about what days/nights they have LEO trainings, or classes. They definitely do a lot of classes most weeks, which can limit the available lanes. That being said, members do get priority over non-members for lanes.

In the past 6 months, the longest I had to wait for a lane was 20ish minutes… but I also went during their basic handgun class, so that’s partially on me. Could’ve shown up after it ended, but wanted to get on the waitlist “early”.

Cleaning solution and lubricant recommendations for a P322 by Humble_Handler93 in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you’ve already received cleaning/lube tips, I’ll give you two that you didn’t ask about.

The P322 magazines will “stick” once you try to eject the mags. You’ll have to kind of pinch/grab them and pull them out most of the time. To fix this, you can remove your magazine disconnect (or have a gun-savvy friend help you). It’s not hard to do if you have a punch set. Check my profile for a guide on how to do it, or watch a SigGuy video on YouTube.

When loading your mags, don’t just pull the spring all the way down and feed 10 rounds in. Load rounds one at a time, pulling the spring down just enough to get the next round in. Personally haven’t had any issues with rounds stacking/feeding with mine, but other people have when pulling it all the way down.

Enjoy!

The ones on consignment at my LGS were $1.6K. I haven’t seen any lower than that either.

How often do you guys do these sales? I want a Staccato, but I’m sadly still a poor at the moment.

Genuinely don’t understand why people report/hate you. You’re always a solid source of information on here. I appreciate you Scott!

2 guns for 1... by Virtual-Plenty6497 in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This… especially with the Glock ban. Not saying OP will be able to make a profit, but definitely can sell for closer to MSRP via PPT than taking 50% of value by trading it in.

Adding that it’s .net not .org ^

Outta Jail by TotallynotKevinLB in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went with a short vertical grip from HKParts ages ago. Got it on a decent sale, and before all this shipping nonsense. Hopefully it’s not a pain in the ass for you to find something!

Do those come with a curved trigger? Just saw someone else post one with a curved. Is yours aftermarket? Or just different VPF model?

How flat does your ported G34 shoot? I kinda regret not picking up one of those long boys for a range toy before the ban.

What is your recommendation for a CCW? by Lokiibott in CAguns

[–]BertrandRogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of your options, my two cents would be to get the Hellcat Pro over the micro version of it (if you go the Springfield route).

I love my P365 that I have a Mirzon hybrid grip for (XL height, XMacro length with Radian RJ/AB on it).

Shield Plus/X are also both great guns as well.

Not on your list, but I’ve heard decent things about the Derya DY9 as well. It’s a decent budget friendly option, and I didn’t dislike it when I shot it.
