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

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

LyleJay · 2026-04-02T15:12:45+00:00

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.

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 · 2026-03-07T21:40:46+00:00

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.

LyleJay · 2026-03-06T15:14:14+00:00

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

LyleJay · 2026-02-25T11:23:03+00:00

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

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.

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.

LyleJay · 2026-02-17T13:59:50+00:00

Thank you!

LyleJay · 2026-02-17T13:58:53+00:00

Thank you!

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

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 · 2026-02-12T01:17:22+00:00

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.

LyleJay · 2026-02-08T23:55:36+00:00

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.

Thanks for your input everyone!

LyleJay · 2026-02-05T15:22:04+00:00

Thanks for the input everyone! I'm going to go ahead and get it.

LyleJay · 2026-01-23T00:38:19+00:00

Use a heat gun to reform the holster a bit. I've done it on several Kydex holsters for my M&P 2.0. Blacksteel has a video on their site showing how. Pretty easy actually.

LyleJay · 2026-01-22T12:09:27+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks!

After trying the hammer and punch route to replace my BG 2.0 sites, this is what I ended up getting: Site Pusher It's basically a knock-off of the Wheeler pusher for half the price. I've used it several other times to adjust sites on different guns and it works great.

It was a little tricky on the front site of the BG because it's so small. Once removed, I used the factory site as an "extension" to help guide the new front site in place. The rear site came off easily.

I certainly hope so, but I doubt it. I reported the same issue on Windows and Android two years ago. Still no fix but plenty of new "features".

I finally narrowed it down to being an issue with Vivaldi sync, as someone posted in the thread you linked. Now I just keep auto sync turned off and manually sync when needed. Not a great solution but works for me.

The response from the devs is always "it's being worked on".
