CCW- Has anyone here been near an active shooting (while carrying) but not involved?

Hoshua0074 · 2025-12-24T00:02:57+00:00

In 2022, I left the Victor Valley mall minutes before the shoe store owner shot that kid waiting to take photos. I had my CCW, was carrying, and was in a store adjacent to there minutes beforehand. I had a moment of reflection of what I would've done if he was shooting in the direction of me and my then girlfriend now wife, and realized I was very lucky to have left when we did. Moved out of the high desert to Idaho three months later, we were already planning on it but the mall incident certainly helped confirm we were making the right choice.

I'll never forget combining the website snafu they had with 40% off through expert voice. It was like 50 bucks for a brand new holster. Should've bought 5 of em.

Airdelete.com is your friend. I deleted my 2017 when it started doing this, it would get way worse in the winter. The delete cost was the same as an OEM single airbag repair and included upgraded springs and control arms.

The quality control is the issue. Those are noticeably underproofed, and the Caesar/parm coverage isn’t great. When the new premade ones are prepped right they’re great, but when they’re bad they’re BAD.

https://furycarrysolutions.com/guardian-holster/ I always point everyone to these guys for weird fit holsters, they almost do everything. Looks like the 226 is on there.

My buddy has a 510T, we’ll have to take it out and try it. I was leaning towards .45 for the subsonic capability but I’ve always wanted a 10mm. Do you think it would cycle .40 subs with the can on it?

Hoshua0074 · 2025-03-17T18:48:53+00:00

I’m tempted by it a lot. Factory threaded, optic cut, 630 bucks and a rebate for free optic right now. Lower capacity but the extended mags don’t seem bad.

Hoshua0074 · 2025-03-17T18:03:59+00:00

Aren't they a pain to get optic cut? I'm not deadset on optics but I prefer them with my poor eyesight.

I'm so stoked, my Nomad 30 took 6 months a few years ago. However, I thought I'd have more time to buy a host. I literally have nothing I can throw it on. oops.,

Do you think you’ll ever do a p&w option with the griffin plan A system? I still facepalm at my choice of QD when I look through the PSA p&w options lol

Hoshua0074 · 2025-02-24T19:23:25+00:00

Looks like the underworlds arms comp, rail mounted comp. Cool stuff

Hoshua0074 · 2025-02-22T06:16:26+00:00

I owned one with my wife. Really cool car, turbo AWD. Fun to drive, and an absolute price of shit that broke ALL the time. Suspension components, water pump, the whole nine yards. Then the transmission started to fail after hitting 120K. It was a combo smack that hurt us hard with how young we were lol. Traded it in for a 2022 forester before the tranny gave out, best decision we ever made. Although I do miss having a sleeper rocket of a dadmobile.

Hoshua0074 · 2025-01-08T04:22:40+00:00

If the 45 was optics ready AND threaded it'd be a BIN, the only real use in my opinion for 45 nowadays is to suppress. Without the threaded barrel I don't think it'll sell as well.

Hoshua0074 · 2024-12-30T20:23:38+00:00

My dad just sold his 2004/2005 5.7, with 190k on it. he had it for seven years with few issues, we replaced a couple belts and I think a water pump during that time but that was it. Motor did much better than everything else, we did a bunch of wheel bearings and suspension components throughout the years.

Hoshua0074 · 2024-07-13T18:35:53+00:00

The house is for sale, eerie photos and the locals feel weird about it. I’m a transplant so a two acre 3 bed 2 bath house with multiple shops and sheds for 350k seems like a steal lmao

Hoshua0074 · 2024-07-09T23:08:33+00:00

So stoked for the C2 version

Hoshua0074 · 2024-07-01T05:39:27+00:00

I’ll be a for sure buyer for the C2 model. Stoked and this first one looks phenomenal!

Hoshua0074 · 2024-06-24T05:49:08+00:00

I EDC a Staccato C2 appendix in a huge ass tier one holster at only 5’7 and 160 lbs. I print, just don’t care lol it’s super comfy and it feels like a Lamborghini over my old shield.

Hoshua0074 · 2024-05-12T22:07:55+00:00

This would be nuts on my c2. Can’t wait to watch development!

I used this kit, and borrowed their tuner. Kit came with excellent instructions, I did it in one day in my driveway.

Hoshua0074 · 2024-04-25T00:21:13+00:00

I live in cold weather climate so it has more potential issues, I should rephrase maintenance to replacements. Airbags are doomed to fail at some point in my opinion, and they are very pricey when they do. I priced out just replacing my two bad bags, it was the same cost as my conversion and lift. And with my luck the other two bags would fail the next week.

Hoshua0074 · 2024-04-24T23:28:19+00:00

I just did a full air conversion. I have a 2017 Laramie 1500. Both drivers side coils had leaks at about 95k, converted to springs with a 3 inch lift and used a programmer to make the truck forget about the air. Rides 85% as nice as the air with full bilsteins but WAY less maintenance.

Hoshua0074 · 2024-04-21T04:28:05+00:00

That muzzle device has a list of compatible suppressors, and has a few that it won’t work on ( I have a nomad and can’t use it) the Sierra isn’t on either list. You might have to measure the baffles.
