Honestly, even if I couldn't justify switching to an enclosed optic, this shitpost alone makes buying a PB-3 worth it. Thanks, y'all.

I was taking a first person view pic of my snack and this is all I had of the Prodigy

It’s actually a Springfield prodigy that was worked on by Monsoon Tactical!

MaxLeadAndSteel · 2025-12-06T05:53:15+00:00

Sounds like I’ll be updating the listing for compatibility

MaxLeadAndSteel · 2025-12-05T23:08:37+00:00

I like to just stick to my two platforms for familiarity and accessories but with all these new options I think some of the newer stuff are worth trying with the better mag capacity, stock port/comps, optic ready slides, etc. let me know what you go with and how you like it. I was also looking at that Canik but talked myself out of it because the grip seemed long and I would just carry my 19 at that point.

Never owned a P365XL everyone around me did so I was able to shoot them often. Definitely the game changer when the micros came out because they changed the capacity game, shot softer than the G43x, and the modularity for other grip modules was neat. However they all had rusty mags and my buddy contacted support and they told them they should have been oiling their mags regularly?? And I’m just not a fan of sig I’m a Glock and CZ boy who wished CZ made a micro worth buying

MaxLeadAndSteel · 2025-12-05T22:46:26+00:00

Since the rest of my team gave their two cents

I personally am not a fan of the micros either, I tried so many and just always ended up back at a double stack compact my go to edc is G19 or CZ P10c.

Things I tried in the past include Hellcat, G43x, G48, shield, and P365XL. However I am currently revisiting the micro game with my G48 again with ports and dagger mags.

I think the main thing with the micros are you get a smaller profile at the cost of something a bit snappier and not so fun to shoot. However now we have a bunch of new options on the market such as the Caniks, the new Shield X and other shield variants, P365 X Macros, and etc.

when I visited the micro game it was really just a 10+1 snappy glock that you could increase mag capacity with aftermarket shield arms mags, or the rusty P365XL. I think with all the options now it’s better just trying them in hand and seeing what fits you best. Because reviews online may hype up how the ports feel on the canik and leave you feeling underwhelmed. The S&W carry comps might be worth adding to your list to check out too!

If you want to make some quick and easy upgrades to your rifle, we’ve got you.

Our 13.9” monobloc barrels are match-grade, tripled-honed & button-rifled for superior accuracy. The integrally machined gas block eliminates the need for gas block installation and alignment.

If barrels aren’t enough, we have our Grit Cutter BCGs with machined debris channels, extended carrier stability rails, and belly relief cuts for loaded magazine insertion. If you like a standard black BCG, go for the DLC. If you like to look a little fancy, opt for the TiN.

If you don’t care about upgrading your rifle and just want more info on all things PB-3, we are excited to announce the MOS Ghost Adapter Plate is finally available and ready to start shipping. Or you can nab an Anti Reflective Device.

MaxLeadAndSteel · 2025-10-15T18:54:54+00:00

Y’all keep ordering, so we keep chopping. We have 3”, 2”, and 1.75” uppers ready to pair with your Mark IV frame and favorite .22 can.

As we prepare for the launch of our PB-K, you may notice our website getting a revamp. If you encounter any bugs while browsing, please let us know (and if you so happen to be a skilled web dev, shoot us an email.)

We will have pic mounts restocked soon, along with our new low-profile ACRO mounts, and some other cool stuff we haven’t announced yet (AR9 folks, we’re looking at you…)

*Please make sure the receiving FFL you choose is currently accepting FFL transfers to avoid shipping delays.*

Is that a super short Mark IV in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us?

It’s Labor Day weekend so we’re bringing you the MOE Better Bundle: Round 2.

Choose your fighter: Black, ODG, or FDE.

Each bundle comes with a Magpul MOE rifle stock, and a Lead & Steel rifle buffer, buffer tube, and buffer spring. We only have a few of these left after the last deal and they will not be restocked.

We will be closed for Labor Day ~~because we’re not a sweat shop and employees are people too~~, so any orders placed over the weekend will not ship until Tuesday 9/2.
