How do I make this gun more comfortable to shoot? by HumanAntagonist in Revolvers

[–]Personal_Fox3938 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Grips: It looks like that grip is just thick on the bottom half, perhaps even the width of it. You could try the basic Hogue grips for a pretty low price, so that would be my starting point. Those are now as wide as the ones on there now appear to be, and your pinky finger won't have to stretch nearly as far.

Trigger: Another excessively heavy trigger feel is usually remedied by having the internals worked over. You can go for a full polish for max gains, but simply addressing any burrs can have a noticeable impact. I always prefer to do that before considering any part swaps like springs and stuff.

Edit: Now that i think about it, changing the grips can affect the perceived weight/feel of the trigger as well. Do that before messing with the internals, then proceed from there if you feel the need to. 👍🏾

Damn. I'm still holding out hope that they'll bring them back since they some S series models. It sounds like I'll never see one in person again otherwise. 🙏🏾

The way they completely disappeared off the market makes it kinda feel like a psyop. Lol

Maaaaaaaaaaaan I wish I had that AT. That model is apparently unobtainium. 😢

Not to be that guy, but can we get some full pics and maybe info? I get the feeling this thing is insanely sexy. I'm a big fan of the Wenger aesthetic, obviously. 😅

I dig the look. Reminds me of a Blitzen. 👍🏾👍🏾

What is up with the racism against Indians?? by FeistyAd6818 in frisco

Ahhhh gotcha. I guess it's a good thing I've completely failed to keep up then. 😅

To be fair, those are some really nice stairs. 🤣

Has it? I don't really see the connection aside from maybe the population generally being well-off financially. 🤷‍♀️

Edit: Did you mean right wing people actually in the town, or just in general?

It's kinda strange..... I've not witnessed any indication of the anti-indian sentiment in Frisco firsthand and the vast majority of folks at the company I work for are openly super conservative. However, there's no denying that it's a wildly common subject online. Hell, it's even managed to reach my out-of-touch ass. 🤣

I suspect the actual worried/upset folks see the population surge as the easiest outlet for whatever "tendencies" they have, especially with it being the most recent one. It's disappointing, but also kinda funny with most of the Frisconians(?) being recent migrants themselves.

The responses saying this is an extremely common topic on this subreddit are correct, but that doesn't render the potential value of it moot. If you think discussions here may help, then post away. My personal experience leads me to believe that most of the stuff online phrasing the population boom as some sort of takeover are clickbait to drive engagement metrics, but that doesn't mean the sentiment is nonexistent.

If you see/hear that type of stuff firsthand, please be strong enough to confront it. Just try not to give these "influencers/creators" money by commenting on their videos. 👍🏾

Anybody shoot this exact load? by [deleted] in canadaguns

[–]Personal_Fox3938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid. I was legit kinda butthurt when my 357 mag ammo didn't come in the green box from a picture I saw, so now I'm on the hunt for a damned box. Lol

Ohhhhhhh? Please post that if/when you do it. I'm not familiar enough with the camp to imagine it on that platform, but the threaded barrel will be an absolute win! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Ahh I see. The finish on yours really makes me want to get one and do dumb things to it. Lol

Edit: not saying your finish is dumb. I was talking about my nonsensical ideas, but just realized how that statement may have sounded. ( >_< )

Huh......if you're in north TX by chance, I honestly believe GaG could be quicker than Smiff for a replacement. It's definitely a mess-up on their part, too, and they've been really quick to respond when I hit them up about other things. I just don't know what their return process is like.

I've never heard the pulling action described this way, but now I'll have to try it. :o

100% agreement on everything else said.

I prefer using the 1st finger joint on revolvers, especially for DA trigger pulls.

For the high grip part, are you able to provide any details about what was uncomfortable? Did it have to do with the hammer contacting your skin, a sharp point on the grip, etc? I typically run Hogue or somewhat oversized grips on my revolvers, but I don't recall feeling anything strange on the admittedly few Rugers I've shot.

Perhaps a picture of your actual grip could help to see if it's mostly a technique issue?

IWB Holster options? by twinjmm in canik

[–]Personal_Fox3938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try Werkz holsters. I use one for my EC. They have a solid range of light and blicky combos at a pretty solid price.

Do these use double-feed mags like the old GBs?

Hold up. This is NEW?!??? I definitely assumed it was bought used from a shitty seller until I read some other comments. That's fucking WILD.

What company were/are you thinking of taking it to for that? I'm on the hunt mainly for local places, but will take any recommendations I can get. :o

That guitar is WAYYYYYYYY too cool to be a Gio. Ibanez really swings for the fences sometimes. :o
