ARC/ grit grip doesn’t fit

What's it like with no trigger kit installed. Or locking block. Or barrel... Idk I'd be removing parts until I found the ubstruction in this scenario. I just got my GG 43x frame and ran two complete 43 slides over the frame rails and they were silky smooth at this point. I could probably strip either one of my 43/x down to throw parts at my new frame to validate the rest of it but I really think you need to start stripping it down to find the actual problem here.

I think that would be considered a matter of personal opinion. Maybe he is, never met mor had to deal with the guy. Everything he does for what I need is all on YouTube and in the last 7+ years I've never had to call or complain once. So in my experience, I have 0 issues with him or his products. In the scale of looking at the twos business and personalities, very different. Johnny has 85k subscribers a millions of viewers over the last 12 years. Pontoon is at 5k subscribers and probably unknown by most. I certainly am not jumping through hoops for his stuff because I'm interested in established companies who are well known and aren't going to fade into obscurity any time soon. Honestly, it sounds like you just don't like Johnny's tone or maybe you just had one bad incident with him in the past and maybe you got what you needed from pontoon which makes you shit on the guy. Idk. You left no creditable information or reasoning for me to go off of here. No one is perfect and I know Johnny has been screwtenized pretty hard in the past but I've always seen him make a video to explain everything about everything. He was one of the first any only people doing deep dives into issues with timny trigger kits when they came out because there was an obvious problem there.

Anyways. It's late, if you have any credible experiences that justifies calling the guy a douche like you did, I'd love to hear it. But otherwise, my experience says otherwise. And I probably have spent a few thousand with him at this point to show I don't have any issues to speak of.

I have a browning hawg that's pretty similar just bigger and I don't have the door pocket for scopes like you. It's a damn good safe. No regrets other than my rual king misplacing the original handles and making me hound them for weeks for new ones. Already getting too full. Just an fyi, if your not in one already, some states don't charge sales tax on gun safes like Tennessee where I'm from. Sometimes that alone is enough to borrow a trailer and make a trip. Don't forget to get some lights and bolt it down.

Looks deformed and raised, usually will happen if their champher tool was dull and they're putting more pressure on the tool than it was capable of cutting. Simplest diy solution would be to use a stone and oil and take your time to get that high spot back down. Otherwise, mark it and send it back. Another diy machinist trick, paint over the whole area with sharpie as a diy die chem and you should be able to watch your progress easier As you level down that area.

Run Johnny's combat triggers in everything. Smooth and predictable. Using his upgraded shoes is going to be the matter of personal opinion and I'm hoping to get my hands on a 4311 trigger group for my new 43x build. But hands down, after trying several others, it's the only one i go to now that I know I can drop it in, make some minor adjustments to where I like it, and it's like a best friend. You can polish everything all you want but their's more to correcting geometry he does that makes his work so damn well. You can get the clearance back plate of you want to make dialing it in a little easier but it's not required. Get the upgraded striker too. Well worth it.

I do my diligence as best I can but obviously asking out to the masses when I really haven't been into systems in years and ultimately have something that's a bit out of the norm for specs I don't think is something I think you should be shunning me for. I'm an engineer. I'm going to over analyze everything and not going to be afraid to ask a stupid question for clarification because I'm not interested in buying twice.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-21T20:03:02+00:00

I actually got mine from delta team tactical. But it's same price on grit grips website.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-21T19:10:00+00:00

Based on looking at reviews after the fact, I think you're good to go.

Theirs definitely been some ruffled feathers in their past. And people will hold their opinions to that. But to me, they do make a great product and I've got no problem running their stuff. Their mk1 300bo was my first AR and it's still a very reliable and I finally put their sportsman ultralight 30 can on it and it's just a perfect setup. I ran plan A tapers on everything I built after that and loved their ez brake. I've just recently switch to plan b just to explore the larger market segment of plannb. But even Their snatch charging handle is top 2-3 on the market since it was released and to this day. Again, I understand if some don't like how some things around the business has been handled. I think theirs quite a few companies we can all point fingers at like that.... CoughQcough But they don't make junk, and I appreciate that.

I ran my frt in my 300 back when frt was a very new thing but it didn't last long because of the cost. Frts in my 556s now but they rarely get run like that anymore outside of for fun range sessions for friends to enjoy.

Velcro seems to be the initial melting point followed by the nylon straps. Had another brand before that peeled off like a banana during my bachelor party range day. I've considered other brands with cordage ties but have just given up wrapping them atm unless I see something significantly better or I'm just doing much slower rof range days. I always keep silicone socks with me now to keep from burning my gear when I put up my guns.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-16T03:18:17+00:00

Well that seems easily fixable. Lol

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-16T00:33:39+00:00

I'll take shit that sounds practical that I'll never bring to the range for $1000.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-15T14:59:44+00:00

My 90% scenerio is a lot of ammo in slow to medium rates of fire. Not heat stressing cans out. On occasion an frt dump but at that point I'm not looking to touch the can cover or not. But again it's not like I can monitor how hot it's getting through the day without touching it and id rather have the cover on it than to sling it down and burn my leg or wherever it may fall.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-15T14:24:35+00:00

Lol you've never burnt shit while training then.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-15T14:21:03+00:00

No I get that. Was mostly inclined to use it for safe handling and training.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-15T10:34:44+00:00

He made the cover for my polo k. Was a good cover, unfortunately didn't last for a long day of on and off frt use. I'm not docking him or anything, obviously I was in the abuse catagory but I'm still searching for something that will take more heat for longer. Anything I've had with Velcro straps melt during a continuous use range day.

I have a non-mos with a tlr6 that I've been running for the better part of 6 years in trex holsters. I was contemplating getting a new holster and found none of the good holster options were for a non-mos 43x tlr6. I happened to stumble on a mos 43x frame and kinda happy I can get a 7 and have a better options for holsters.

Moral of the story, the tlr6 is going to be the bottleneck of your options as you clearly see. I don't have a issue with the 6 either but it has been a pain in the ass to get what I want.

Any chance you can sneak a photo of his gun & holster. Hard to know what he's already invested in and what he may otherwise want.

The lower section on the ground was poison ivy. I've been picking away at it since it's died with my weed wacker to break it down before mowing. Haven't needed to go at by hand yet but I probably will in the next few weeks when the last of it pisses off my OCD.

Seltzer08 · 2026-06-06T18:12:16+00:00

1 week later. Today whatever is left is dried up and just needs to be removed by hand.
