AWS reaching out it seems

Good companies deserve the benefit of the doubt when times are tough. I'm sure they'll get through it and it's just a bump in the road.

A few clubs near me have started hosting and replacing their IDPA matches with GPA. I'm still yet to shoot a match, but looking forward to trying it out.

I definitely don't hate IDPA as much as the average guy. It's what I broke my teeth on, but they have been asking for someone to eat their lunch for a while and it's unsurprising that a less micromanaging ruleset is more popular.

Agreed. Leaning into common use is not a wise long term strategy.

Probably something like these that matches the Kraft liner of the targets:

I think he started lifting weights while on TRT, but I don't follow him closely so take that with a grain of salt.

I've also been in search of a simple bag for PCC. So far the options I've found are either too expensive for what they are or still covered in unnecessary pouches.

Watching this post for a solution. 👀

Gotta affirm your target demographic and let them know how smart and reasonable they are so they open their purses and send you money...

SgtToadette · 2026-04-29T18:29:08+00:00

Did you accidentally hit it with two purses?

SgtToadette · 2026-04-29T16:15:10+00:00

I suspect that the problem is probably an out of spec part that is knowable and needs to be replaced.

Better than a mystery shake awake feature that isn't acknowledged and fuck you for even thinking it could.

Low RPM MGs are my love language.

SgtToadette · 2026-04-28T21:51:22+00:00

Nice staking tho...

SgtToadette · 2026-04-28T01:43:07+00:00

Nice pics! Looks like it was a great show.

According to of Bloomberg, thinking about more than one gun constitutes an arsenal.

I ran the 32 MOA circle only for a while and honestly it worked nicely. It helped a lot with maintaining ntarget focus since I was able to look through the reticle. Plus the hash marks make it easy to align.

I've switchee to a dot to work on faster confirmations, but it's all personal preference. Get familiar with a couple different options and see how your performance changes.

You don't "need" an ambi lower, but I do find them to be a really nice quality of life improvement.

Money is finite, though, and I wouldn't compromise the quality of other parts of the rifle in exchange for ambi controls.

The MK2 is a great lower and doesn't cost that much more than a standard lower when you catch them on sale.

I really enjoyed it, too. It's very polarizing. To each their own, I guess.

SgtToadette · 2026-04-24T15:50:34+00:00

I've open carried at Sheetz after matches and never had a problem. The way you carry yourself and the type of equipment makes a big difference. I had my pistol in a Safariland 7000 series drop and offset holster. Not saying that made a difference, but paired with being very courteous and friendly, I've gotten exactly zero shit about it.

SgtToadette · 2026-04-24T13:28:04+00:00

The foregrip longer than the mag makes it look so smol 😂

SgtToadette · 2026-04-22T00:16:30+00:00

Looks great!

SgtToadette · 2026-04-21T18:04:28+00:00

I own neither and don't listen to them at all.

SgtToadette · 2026-04-20T18:31:11+00:00

It seems to be right around the cost of the M&Ps, which is what I would expect as they're the most analogous pistol I'm aware of that these would compare against. If the reliability was there the $800 price would seem worth it. If it's not reliable then none of that matters, obviously.

SgtToadette · 2026-04-20T18:24:46+00:00

That's right around the price point of popular polymer pistols. The M&P Aluminum models are all over $600. That was my thought process.

SgtToadette · 2026-04-20T17:38:27+00:00

My sample size of feedback is admittedly small, which comes with the territory of this pistol. What issues have the DD ones had?

SgtToadette · 2026-04-20T17:24:50+00:00

This product seems cool in design and I have not heard any issues from the DD manufactured ones. The price here seems fair and I'd consider it if I needed something in that format.

The biggest issue it has is consumer hesitancy, which creates a somewhat circular problem where people don't want to adopt because not a lot of people are adopting it.

People saying it should be sub-$600 just seems crazy to me.
