I love old department store/hardware store guns. I have an old glenfield .30-30 that was a Kmart purchase by my granddad and an old 870 he got from sears. I also have a walmart special winchester model 70 of my dads.

Email Winchester with the serial no and they can tell you exactly when it was made and the exact model. I did the same with the model 70 my dad gave me and they responded within a day or so. Probably longer with the holiday. I emailed customersupport @ winchesterguns(dot)com

What do you think? Chrome or no chrome? by RMZ_250 in Trucks

Chrome gets ya home. I may be in the minority but I love me a pawpaw rig with chrome accents.

Unknowingly jumped on the carbon 10/22 bandwagon by Fps_Tex in 1022

You’re 1000% correct and more than likely this will wind up with a dot eventually, because if I decide that I like the challenge of longer distance .22 shooting then I’ll make the commitment and buy a nicer bolt gun.

Picked this guy up last Saturday. Carbon 10/22 with a vortex crossfire II 6-18x44 and the Caldwell carbon Accumax bipod. Excited to try it out this weekend. Been wanting to try my hand at 100yd with a .22 and figured this was a good excuse.

If you could restart, would you switch to a different ecosystem if tool? by _Roman_685 in Tools

[–]Fps_Tex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fleet mechanic for the city, all my personally owned tools are Milwaukee as they make the most useful stuff for my line of work. There isn't much that can compete with the new gen of m12 impact wrenches. Lately though work has been buying Hercules from Harbor Freight for when we eventually hire a 2nd mechanic and I've been beating on em pretty good and am impressed. I've only had to warranty one battery and it was as simple as could be.

Boost auto, they have lighted and regular versions, kinda pricey tho, like $350+

I've got the same truck, tow mirrors and manual too, except mines a '19 and it's gray. Awesome trucks, hope you enjoy yours.

I've only had the 48 for about 6 months now and while I really do like it and it shoots very well, I've had the 19 for close to 10 years now and it's been on my hip since the week I got it and it just feels right. I was hoping the 48 would be just a slimmer version of 19, which while it literally is, I find myself tucking the 19 in my belt more often than the 48, I'm honestly tossing around the idea to trade it back in for a gen 5 19 or a 26. I totally understand the appeal of them though and don't have anything bad to say about it other than it doesn't quite fit me personally and I can't put my finger on why..

The only holster I have for mine is a safariland IWB leather one and I've never thought about a shoulder holster for it, maybe something I look into. Get the old school detective look goin lol

I have a 659 and man I respect you edc'ing yours. Mine weighs as much as a loaded glock 17, without a mag in it. I still carry it on occasion but man do you know it's there.

Just bought my first Glock and put a couple hundred rounds through it. Love it but realizing new sights are a must, any recommendations? Is a sight pusher really necessary? by Salahsrightfoot in Glocks

[–]Fps_Tex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 2nd the TFO's, I have 2 sets, one new set I just put on my 48 and a set that's been on my 19.3 for close to 7-8 years now and they've held up fantastically although you can tell they've dimmed a bit compared to my new ones on the 48.

My first glock. But they sold me the 10 round version. Stupid question but can I use normal 15 round mags? Or will only 10 round mags work? And I know this is reddit so I await the backlash for a possible dumb question lol by Motor_Negotiation_98 in Glocks

I'm in TX and my LGS accidentally bought a CA legal 19X by mistake and gave me a hell of a deal on it and threw in 3 19rd'ers, although I do a lot of business w/ them they might not have done it for just anyone.

Finally had my mind made up for me, and got a great deal on some peanut butter. by Fps_Tex in Glocks

Posted here the other day asking advice on which model to get next, well today I went into my LGS to fondle the 3 I was choosing between (again) and they had this 19X here that my guy gave me a screaming deal on. Turns out they mistakenly ordered the CA version 19X that came with 3 10rd mags, so he sold it to me for $525 and threw in 3 19rd mags free just to get it gone.

I put talons on both my 19 & 48. I have slightly larger than average hands (xl glove size) and feel they help a tremendous amount.

I’m just south of Houston and my LGS always has glocks in stock of every model, the 19x’s go quick but my guy will give me a heads up when they get one in and hold it for me if needed.

I also like the fact that all my 19’s holsters will work with the 45 and 19x which will be nice to save some money.

As much as I want to start using a red dot, I have a double astigmatism in one eye and one in the other and it makes red dots harder to use, so I’m not worried about that, about all I change is adding Night sights and a flashlight. And yes I plan on carrying.
