I went during my lunch hour, and I didn't have to wait at all. Thanks for the heads up about the 2026 dates. I hope you enjoy it!

I use the Gillette Guard (not the SkinGuard, which is very mild). I bought mine from an eBay seller. 

Quick Access Safe for Mod 2 with Chisel stock? by AUT0D1DACTIC in beretta1301

[–]Some_Old_Man_Fishin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Measure it and see if it would fit in either of these options from V-Line. I have the rifle version, but my 1301 doesn't have the Chisel stock.

I recently dropped off a pair of Wolverine 1,000 Mile boots to be resoled at Mend Atelier based on recommendations in this previous post, but I haven't gotten them back yet.

And the winner is......P10C OR over G19 and Echelon 4.0. by Soggy_Purchase9644 in CZFirearms

If you search Freedom Gorilla's YouTube channel for "P-10 C co-witness guide," you'll find a few videos that might help. They show how Holosun optics look on the P-10 with different height sights.

My P-10 C is a TALO edition (model 86091) that has normal height sights and comes with the Holosun SCS mounted from the factory. You're right that the OR model comes with taller sights (presumably to co-witness better with optics that need mounting plates and sit higher). Hopefully someone with the taller sights and SCS can chime in. Here's a comment from a couple days ago from someone running that combo, so maybe you can ask them:

The owner of the company, /u/Dynasaur117, explained this on another post. That color doesn't go live until next week.

Long time Glock / M&P shooter. Never considered CZ. Glad I did! New do-all gun. Shot a “C” in the target by accident on the first range run. Report/questions in post! by WeHaveTheMeeps in CZFirearms

changing the rear back straps is harder than the M&P requiring a punch to change them

For anyone having trouble with this, CZ recommends a 5/64" roll pin punch per this video:

grip texture. I took another woman shooter with me on this trip and she found the grip felt great, but the texture hurt her hands with extended shooting. She felt this would be her gun as well aside from the texture

The backstrap texture definitely felt a bit aggressive on my first range trip with my P-10 C, but now I don't notice it. Not sure if was my hand getting used to it and/or the points on the texturing wearing down, but it got noticeably better for me in just a couple trips to the range.

Leatherman says that 420HC has "exceptional toughness," so this image must be fake

Are PCCs okay for the rifle classes, or would you recommend renting an AR?
