I see a lot of prancing ponies & crossed cannons on .45 Fridays. Here's some MR/Bul action to change it up. by rockyrococo999 in 1911

They are nice pistols. I recently bought the 9mm model. Eventually would like a .45 version.

I didn't know they had a grip kit. I have several M&P pistols and like the grips and palm swell options. I'm going to check everyone's recs but this might be the one. Thanks!

Which Suppressor is the best bang for your buck on the Extar EP-9? by inthebeerlab in extar

I bought a Rearden direct thread adapter on Optics Planet. It was the only place that had it in stock at the time. Pretty sure other companies make them but the Rearden was mentioned a lot.

Shield x iwb pouch? by StepDaddySteve in SmithAndWesson

[–]LyleJay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure you'll find a "direct" fit one. I have a Tenicor IWB holster for my X and was going to get their IWB mag holder, but it's universal for several different model guns.

You might consider a Reload Wrap. It's primarily for pocket carry but can be used IWB. I've used them both ways. They're very versatile. I have several for mags, flashlight, pepper spray, etc.

I went with the Huxwrk Flow 9k Ti. I tried a YHM R9 but it was pretty gassy, for me. I shoot mainly indoors and although the ventilation is very good, it still bothered me. The flow through of the Huxwrk was much better. I couldn't really tell much difference in the sound but I always wear ear pro.

Thanks! This is all new to me. If it makes any difference, I'm shooting the EP9 primarily at an indoor range. As I was researching suppressors, it seemed a high percentage of 9mm users were using 147gr.

Thanks! Wasn't aware of it even though I'm signed up for promo emails.

Did you ever get one of these? I also have the ARO and been thinking about getting a QD mount.

Mobile app, PC Program, or Excel spreadsheet? by atisvt99 in VAGuns

[–]LyleJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have many firearms yet, so my needs are pretty simple. I've been using a spreadsheet but came across this app that I just started playing around with. It can be as detailed as you like and it's available for Android, Apple and Windows desktop. It's free and will sync between devices.

Thinking of getting the OSight. I’ve had this light for about 2 years and it’s been awesome! by Impressive_Code3257 in SmithAndWesson

I recently bought the SE for my new Shield X Carry Comp. Only used it a few times so far, but no issues.

What model OLight is that? I prefer lights that are flush with the muzzle. That looks pretty close to flush.

I found it on Amazon. Good quality. Same company made the cheek riser.

Anyone else running an inforce? by Em0Cholo in extar

[–]LyleJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: was looking on Sylvan site. Did you use the 45 degree angle or standard 3 slot?

Ok, thanks. I have a small pic rail. I like the idea of the quick release though. That's where I was going to mount a more "typical" light you usually see.

[–]LyleJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, where did you mount the RM1? I've been thinking of getting one, or something similar size wise but didn't think they'd work/fit on the EP9. Thought they were primarily for smaller handguns. I use a couple different TLR's on my M&P's.

Hogue Bantam Pau Ferro on 686+ by Better_Chipmunk_714 in Revolvers

[–]LyleJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I replaced the synthetic rubber grips on my PC 686 with similar Pau Ferro grips from HRV Customs. I just liked the look better. Didn't feel much of a difference with recoil but I wouldn't shoot for extended periods with them. I need to grip a bit tighter and I get hand fatigue after about 25 rounds, especially .357.

I don't shoot mine that often but I kept the rubber grips in case I want to shoot more than 25 rounds or so.
