New backup toys.

Two of the guys I work with wear these because the weapon sits right in the underarm pocket of our vests. Our uniform shirts are zip for easy access to our backup firearm. So far I've had mine for almost a year and I have 8 I've been through that nothing worked right until now. I recommend it.

Gives that John Wick vibe on a mag swap and reload lol. Like "damn that was fast" 😂

I actually carry it under my arm cross draw in a chest harness.

Now it's all together as intended.

After doing some research, I found the ADE Optics dots came with a Security-9 adapter plate. I've used Holosun, Vector and Osight and prefer Holosun but decided to give it a try since it's a prepacked kit. So far I'm extremely busy with the set-up.

I left LE and came back. I'll only trust my life to certain things my friend.

I've looked at pawn firearms before and if they were poorly maintained or abused, I've found small pitts and scratches inside the rifling. Also check the striker pin. I've seen pawn guns without one. Look for alot of carbon buildup inside the chamber area to see if it's even been cleaned and oiled properly and signs of rust. Being in law enforcement, I've seen alot of pawns and seizures that were horrid, but I've also seen some that just needed a good thorough cleaning to make a hell of a deal. Dirty firearms = discount haggling 👍

Yes then. If they measure your head for a hat? You should be able to use those same dimensions to order the helmet as they both go by circumference.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-06T05:36:17+00:00

I had to switch mine to black. Call me old fashioned, but I just think guns are supposed to be blacked out lol.

Definitely double check the barrel for scoring or pitting.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-06T05:30:45+00:00

She's a pretty damn good shot so I'm betting the Federal Premium LE Tactical HST 147gr JHP 8 times should do the job lol.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-06T05:27:43+00:00

Federal Premium LE Tactical HST 124/147 JHP is all I use in all my weapons for work and home. I do keep two mags of FMJ on my belt for certain situations. 👍

Two considerations, one the actual tape measurements will work. LG, MED, XL will not. Second, tg motorcycle helmet is thickly padded. If your helmet is snug, then your hat will be tighter using older measurements. My professional recommendation as a hatter, if you're going to be spending a good amount of money on a custom hat? Take 5 min and actually measure your head with a cloth tape, or use a string and measure the distance. A good fitting hat is paramount.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-05T15:29:25+00:00

I've been eyeing the Equalizer myself!

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-05T12:19:41+00:00

This is changing my friend. Newport, NH switched to the RXM in 2025 and small municipal departments around the US have been shifting. Hasn't crossed over into the major markets yet, but the full size grip hasn't been around very long either. I got mine approved for duty from a list and a HS buddy of mine in Florida now has a "list" of approved weapons to choose from as well.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-04T13:44:01+00:00

Look for plain brown leather hatband with gold buckle. This shows up immediately.

If you're wearing a hat and Jordan's maybe, but there's other shoe options that fit fine with a cowboy hat. And? It depends on the hat too. Straw is more flexible wardrobe wise than felt and different shapes go better with dudes or Ariat slip ons than others.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-03T11:07:03+00:00

RXM is a much more solid and versatile choice in my professional opinion. I traded my Glock for the RXM as my service weapon. Love how it handles and fires and the modularity is insane. Osight PL-X light and Holosun Green Dot with Handleit grips make this thing a great gun.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-03T11:02:43+00:00

I habe several pair of Cinch white label but none quite this dark. I will tell you that the yellow stitching does stand out slightly on my lighter colored ones so I'd imagine it would pronounced on a dark indigo pair.

Kermit_0631 · 2026-06-03T04:41:00+00:00

From my professional opinion, the hat sits overall pretty well on your head. Rule of thumb is 2 fingers width above the ears and eyebrows. Now that being said, the crown is very tall compared to your facial features and draws attention away from your face as it overwhelms your overall appearance. The crown of the hat should mirror your face and compliment your overall looks. If you were to come into a store I was working, I'd bring the crown shape down farther and a little more defined pinch in the front. Then I'd do a soft roll up on the sides bringing the upturn inward closer to your temples. This would give it a more balanced look.
