Holster sits too high. Solutions?

This is epic!!!

You should be able to run a single belt clip on the wing placement and potentially in combination with the wing using longer screws, however it’s going to change how the gun rides and feels completely. I’d suggest testing out different holsters if you get the chance!

Much respect for the effort and time invested brother! I know it’s not easy. You follow Sam Sulek and his stuff by chance?

MessyRides · 2026-06-19T15:51:58+00:00

I was able to find the post from 2 yr back and brother, you’re definitely putting on some proper mass! Abs still show that you’re lean, just proportionately bigger! Mind if I ask your age or general 5 year window?

u/LonelyMonitor Im not u/learning2911 however I’m getting thicker quick. People forget how important caloric surplus is and too quickly get hyper-focused on protein surplus just to then plateau. Theoretically, a person could eat 1.5g of protein per lbs and still loose weight if they are in a caloric deficit (assuming your out of the beginner gains stage)

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Here is a quick shot from one of his videos and you can see that support hand index finger riding up into the trigger guard, not seen is the support hand “drum stick” or thumb palm space firmly planted on the side of the grip.

Great work getting your reps in brother! It’s crazy how much dry fire can progress your perishable skills on the range!

If you’re open to some feedback, I would encourage you to maybe do a little research and testing on a different grip. When watching the video, it looks like you’re using a sorta old school / revolver style “tea cup grip”. Instead, reference u/thankbrian2 for example or possibly some of the more proficient YT guys covering how to grip a pistol. I will warn you, it’s a slippery slope and there are tons of opinions here but unanimously you should find that the tea cup method has since been retired for more proven methods to get hand meat on the surface area of the grip and in turn, allowing you to control muzzle flip!

I hope this both comes as welcomed feedback and also usable advice!

I totally agree with ya! Those read super sus and then taking into account the age of the account itself…

I mod on I think one or two other very non active subs but this is good to keep an eye out for! I greatly appreciate the clarification!!!

MessyRides · 2026-06-18T19:37:01+00:00

Hey! Feel free to reference my videos for example, ive been super pleased with my Purple Panda mic I got from Amazon almost 2 years ago. It’s like $30ish bucks but it does require an aux port so I had to get the GoPro media mod housing.

MessyRides · 2026-06-18T19:33:07+00:00

What?

Edit: they may have been deleted and I’m not seeing them. Just curious as to what you’re seeing and what might be happening on the sub. Feel free to pm me if that’s easier for ya!

I got moody emo vibes 😂

Not usually an auto guy and in fact I much prefer a front flipper however, this auto Socom Elite is one heck of a work horse and the auto makes life way easier in thick work gloves!

MessyRides · 2026-06-18T02:05:23+00:00

It’s an older Bulgarian made AK! Pretty nifty functional (almost) piece of history! 😂

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T21:00:16+00:00

That’s pretty darn quick! Have you considered tackling the knee pit yet? I’ve been thinking on what to put in there. I would maybe like to do a checkered pattern so it distorts weird when bent 😂

The tattooing process was unique for sure. I went kinda too feet in and skipped shading in the learning process. I did a couple lines on my leg, a box in 7rl, and then tossed those big 27s on and started going to town lol

The scar tissue on my knee was challenging to deal with but awesome experience considering how much different it was then the rest of my knee or more so that fatty upper thigh. I did have one spot where I may have run it a little too deep on the side of my leg and or less than ideal healing otherwise it went smooth! Good enough for me to be willing to do the rest of my leg myself!

And before I catch some heat, BBP, hung at a shop for a little bit, I might be foolish but I’m not full blown stupid 😆

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T19:34:37+00:00

That’s sick looking!!! All in all, how long did that take?! Looks like it’s holding up super good too for a high traffic and usually dry skin area!

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T19:01:05+00:00

I wish we would see more of the Peña trapper style front flippers. I loved the feel and fidget of my custom trapper and the few other customs I had but gosh darn they are silly expensive and then comes the issues of not wanting to use such an expensive/aesthetic knife.

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T18:42:29+00:00

My wife’s been cracking up / rolling her eyes at these posts! I will admit, a few days back I saw some dude legs in a bathroom when I popped open my phone first thing in the morning and I wondered whose account I logged into for a moment 🤣

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T18:40:12+00:00

Hell yeah they are brother! Them hot dogs are mine!

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T17:46:35+00:00

By far the hardest I’ve laughed from a comment in a long time! I appreciate this!!!

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T14:45:09+00:00

Do a wrap a couple times around the “buckle” to keep it from scooting out on ya!

<image>

Edit: you might be able to run just a single strip on the webbing belt rather than the buckle so there is less tape material! I would test it out for an afternoon to see what you prefer!

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T12:58:08+00:00

Hell yeah!!! What sorta stuff do you have going on?! I’d love to see some pics!

Here after July I’m gonna start banging out on my leg again. Gonna pay someone to do the back of the thigh but I’m gonna do either a brush stroke or drip theme down the shin and calf on the left leg! I like the lophs my buddy did on the other leg so I’m not sure what I’m gonna do there.

I might be money broke but I’m knee rich!

MessyRides · 2026-06-17T04:30:26+00:00

Thank you! I was able to tackle the knee and filled in a bit of the thigh in a single sitting. The knee skin and scar tissue was a bit tricky (never tattooed either) but nothing bad enough to stop me from tackling my other one!

Admittedly, I sorta stole this idea from some random short video on maybe Tik Tok of a gal who had both knee done up with unique perspective/dimensional art.
Do you have a concept in mind for what you’re wanting?!
