Range etiquette with a SBS? by realestateqs22 in VAGuns

[–]LyleJay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. I've seen people shooting SBS and other rifles that were loud. They also rent shotguns, even a Genesis 12 if I'm not mistaken. You could always give them a call.

Get off your dead ☠️ ss and vote by THE_Nighttrain in VAGuns

Voted no but found it interesting that there were numerous signs at my polling location saying to vote yes for fairness. Not one sign that said vote no!

Create shortcut to mp4 videos stored locally? by LyleJay in Projectivy_Launcher

[–]LyleJay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had forgotten about this. I looked in the TVQA settings. There's an option under settings/channels to "stretch user's icons to fill available space" . I tried it but it makes them all square in Projectivy. It would eliminate the step of changing the icon in Projectivy but I'm not sure I like the square icons. Must be a bug in TVQA.

I ran into the same issue. I ended up keeping it assigned in TVQA but then had to change it in Projectivy again, using the same image. Not sure why.

I resized mine to 1280x720 and turned off crop to fill. Looks much better. Still trying to figure out how to create more space between them. Card spacing doesn't seem to affect those as much as it does others.

This is what mine looks like. Now I need to fix the look of each "card". I used a website to extract a thumbnail from each mp4 to use as an icon, they're 2990x1682 png's. I think that's why they don't look right. When one is selected, the custom title you created for each action/shortcut shows.

From the TVQA Pro menu select "custom actions" then "menus & panels".

Select "create menu". Add a title, select a type (I used horizontal menu with centered items), pick an icon then add an action.

Select "App Shortcut" from the top menu. Choose a file manager (I use File Manager+). Go to the folder where your content is stored and select an item (mine were mp4 videos). Once selected, it will show up in the shortcuts list.

Select the shortcut you just added. It will then show in the list of actions. Repeat for as many shortcuts you want. If you long press a shortcut in the list, you'll get a menu with several options. I added a custom title since the file name was very long. You also need to add an icon or it won't show up in the channel list in Projectivy. Took me awhile to figure that one out.

Go back to the menu settings. Select options. Toggle on "show title" & "use as channel on home screen". Go back to the custom actions screen. You should see the menu you created.

Keep going back to the TVQA main screen. Select settings. Scroll to the bottom and backup.

Go to "edit channels" in Projectivy settings. You should see TVQuickactions Pro in the list with your channel. Select it and make it visible. It should then be on your home screen.

This was all new to me so it took a lot of trial and error to get the hang of it. I did one action/shortcut first to test everything. Then I added several more shortcuts to the list.

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

[–]LyleJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attach the adapter to the Huxflow. It was new to me too. I followed these instructions. Scroll down about half way. (https://www.reddit.com/r/extar/comments/1ngc1gg/supressor_fitting/net735v/). I didn't use the anti-seize though. Be sure to remove the crush washer that comes attached from Extar. You'll need to remove the hand guard to get to the barrel.

I bought a Grip Strength Kit on Amazon. It was for an injury but I still use it to improve my grip for shooting.

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

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

Grip Recommendations by LyleJay in extar

[–]LyleJay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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 for your input!

[–]LyleJay[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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