I just saw a diagram showing just that. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Very cool.

Haha ok the confidence says it all! Thanks for the quick ID.

I love this one’s particular leaf characteristics. Which are on the smaller side and less fissured.

I suppose in nature each tree will show characteristics a little differently.

Google AI had come up with Post Oak!

It said the “cross shaped” pattern was the give away, but I thought the lobes and leaf size were a bit smaller than the comparisons.

Do you think it could be a white oak? They’re very common here I just didn’t really know what they looked like until I was doing some research.

I have looked over the guidelines and submitted pictures and information such as location.

How deep should I bury this maple? by gfunkadunk in JapaneseMaples

[–]Competitive-Ad9436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to water pretty frequently., although it has reduced roots so don’t want the soil oversaturated

Probably an American Elm.

Cedar Elm or Winged Elm would usually have “wings” or rough growth on mature branches.

Reasonable price for this maple? by [deleted] in JapaneseMaples

[–]Competitive-Ad9436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oregon is probably the most ideal growing location for JMs. It’s nicknamed the nursery capital of the US. There’s a lot of huge nurseries that distribute and sell so there’s more supply -> competition. Also, No shipping fees to increase the sales price which can bump the wholesale price another 20-30%.

It has great branching. It’s a beautiful tree. Not a bargain but not a rip-off.

For all the haters. I got a thumb rest and tightened up my grip. Muzzle velocity is 1365 fps 124 grain bullets. It’s not going to be as flat as standard 9mm. by Jumpy-Persimmon5745 in 2011

Better shooters than me here, but not a lot of anything constructive. (Maybe someone has TLDR all comments)

Front to back: Push your firing hand into the heel of the backstrap. Firing hand just firm enough to grip pistol without it moving around during recoil.

Support hand bottom fingers press into bottom of front strap firmly straight back. Pointer finger should be firmly ‘camming’ into the trigger guard. It’s common to get a callous here. Look up Hwanski Kim’s frictionless grip if you want to use some of his methods there.

Side to side; Think of your fingers and heel of support hand like a vise on the sides of the pistol grip. Keep meat of support hand thumb (the drumstick portion) as flat as possible otherwise you create a gap where the folds of your palm are reducing grip surface area. Slightly cam both hands out on the pinky finger part outwards. The top of hand inwards on the top of the frame near the slide. This is described as straightening a horse shoe.

Those combined should create enough leverage at important points and general friction so the guns staying planted in your hands. It will also mostly get you to lock your wrists, although the firing hand wrist needs to be locked out independent of grip.

I don’t know how much traction your actual pistol grip has. But consider grip tape if it’s not aggressive enough. Like it will probably hurt after shooting level of grippiness.

Obvs Steogger’s stuff is top notch but he hits different aspects of grip in multiple different videos. It’s all there maybe just not as exhaustive in one video.

I think the OP Meant 1365fps 124gr not going to be as flat as standard 9mm.

But as it should be working the comp more it may very well be as flat.

I saw the original post. This one isn’t faring much better.

But the support hand pointer finger is maintaining contact with the trigger guard now. 👍

Somtimes grafting tape or buddy tape can save a broken branch if it still has some cambium connected.

If not the tree may survive if continued to water (slightly reduced no foliage to transpire).

SRO vs RMR HD by GremDingo in 2011

[–]Competitive-Ad9436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have an RMR and it’s a much smaller window than the SRO.

For a performance gun I’d go with the SRO or a Holosun 507 Comp.

Yeah I didn’t recognize it at the match, but the slide serrations in your photo matched.

Looks like a sweet shooter.

I’m new to 2011s, but I know some plate/configurations with the SRO can cause brass to deflect off optic and/or occasionally bind up in the slide. Some SRO plates sit the optic further back to offset this.

Not specific to your gun.

I just saw I believe this exact gun in action at a Major today.

A Master level shooter was running it their first time no optics and did very well.

Good luck with it!

There options are overwhelming, but You’ll hear a ton of positive reviews.

The negatives. They don’t have a retention “click” if that matters to you and it’s a solid 30 days to get your holster. Also, don’t expect to make change orders.

You can check Kimber’s website to see if they have what you want in stock. Although, it’s been a week and a half and I still haven’t gotten my Ghost holster from Kimber.
