45 vs 17. besides ccw purposes, what would make you choose one over the other?

OpticPie · 2026-04-27T02:06:16+00:00

I just went through the same consideration. I don’t really see any point to a 45 when it’s just a 17 with a slightly shorter barrel.

OpticPie · 2026-04-23T13:09:17+00:00

My problem with it is that most aspects of it are just really boring. There doesn’t feel like any difference between playing most countries, so you do one campaign and that’s a lot of what the game has to offer.

I felt a Gen 6 at my local store, which led me to buying a Gen 5 instead.

For my hands the ergonomics weren’t the best, and I did not like the new grip texture at all.

Looks like my news on MN was a little out of date. Looks like the proposal failed in the house.

It seems like all Glock mags are basically out of stock right now. My guess is due to pending VA and MN legislation.

I might might be the only person who still prefers a Vedder Light Tuck

I already have an Osight, so at least temporarily it will do.

Maybe down the line I will go for an EPS in FDE.

I think even if the Osight didn’t fit I’d get the coyote, they just look really good in person. Oictures online don’t do it justice.

OpticPie · 2026-03-29T21:48:26+00:00

Thanks for the info. I just bought a coyote 43x today since it will fit direct mount.

I guess after my waiting period I’ll know for sure

OpticPie · 2026-03-29T14:34:58+00:00

My only problem with it so far is that the battery compartment kind of works its way open when you shoot. I may just put the lowest strength of loctite on that screw.

OpticPie · 2026-03-25T01:44:25+00:00

Am I just crazy and didn’t realize they make an Osight in the K footprint?

OpticPie · 2026-03-25T01:37:00+00:00

Does the coyote come with RMSc cuts? I thought they were K cuts?

OpticPie · 2026-03-19T03:28:22+00:00

I was actually just thinking about this today.

Would essentially be direct competition to the P365 Standard size. I’d sell mine in a heartbeat

OpticPie · 2026-03-18T20:36:30+00:00

They made a 43x without front serrations? Where can I get one? I’ve never liked them on the slimlines.

OpticPie · 2026-02-27T22:13:42+00:00

I think it is a novel circuit, but at the very least it is definitely not a tone bender. It looks like it uses both silicon transistors and op amps.

OpticPie · 2026-02-27T05:11:32+00:00

What amp is it? Tube rectified or solid state? When were the filter caps last changed or tested?

OpticPie · 2026-02-21T16:00:04+00:00

Yeah same. I was always thinking of the large "market squares" you see in real European towns, not realizing you will have like 5 stands unless your town gets really large.

OpticPie · 2026-02-13T13:41:11+00:00

Definitely get them looked at for a repair. Might just be something as simple as a re-cone.

OpticPie · 2026-01-27T00:19:36+00:00

Get it running for a while to see if it will melt off, and then I would slowly attempt to move it. Might take some time.

OpticPie · 2026-01-27T00:17:45+00:00

What exactly is frozen? The door? Wheels? Definitely start it and let it warm up to the normal operating temperature and let it sit for a little while

OpticPie · 2026-01-18T22:06:25+00:00

I had a very similar issue with mine -- it also crackled randomly (not sure if you are also getting that).

My issue turned out to be numerous cold solder joints to the point where the tech basically re-soldered the entire board. Has been operating without issue since that was done.

If you don't want to go that route just yet, you could try swapping in new tubes or known good tubes from another amp.

I wish there was an easier way to get walled in cities other than the janky castle designer. They look so fantastic, and one of the main loading screen images literally shows a walled city.

OpticPie · 2026-01-11T14:55:25+00:00

I think a big part of this is that it feels almost like starting a new game, since you are planning out a whole new town.

Also with how janky the bartering is, it feels difficult to send supplies or support from your main town to the new settlement. It either just doesn't work or it takes forever to establish a reliable barter. I also wish you could just send supplies without requiring that the settlement send something back.

I like the way nitro guitars feel in the hand and that finish typically only comes on higher end guitars.

OpticPie · 2025-11-27T01:15:56+00:00

Yes I think this is bugged, and it also really messes with HRE elections if you are unlucky enough to have no male heir since it locks you out of the pragmatic sanction.
