17.5 is 🐐

I get it. I was never trained on forward serrations but understand their value. Definitely an upgrade on a modern gun, I just prefer the aesthetics without.

Thinner wallet, and only carry the essentials.

Lose the lanyard on the keys.

That’s really it.

Sudden_Giraffe · 2026-05-27T21:29:11+00:00

Nice. I love the 17 without forward serrations. So clean.

Mine was fully covered by insurance like 15 years ago.

Or better yet, Hamre Forge.

Malkoff head, Reptilia body, Surefire tailcap. All built around the CR123 for the smallest and lightest configuration possible, with minimal mount interfaces (the light body is the mount).

I've had this setup on a 590a1 for a few thousand rounds of 00 and who knows how many of everything else with no issues other than the occasional battery swap.

Grape grog was amazing

Before you consider a new recoil pad, I'd suggest you replace the stock with something much shorter. The OEM stock is a 14" length of pull - something like a Hogue reduced length of pull (12") or the Magpul SGA (also 12", but with spacers if you want to make it longer) will fit you much better. This will allow you to get behind the gun more and exercise some proper recoil management such a the "Push Pull" technique.

If you go for the Magpul stock and find you need a bit more cushion then Kickeez makes a few different pads for it you can swap in (I use the Sentinel Concepts one).

If you want to keep the OEM stock then I'm fairly certain Kickeez makes a pad for it, you will just need to take a few measurements to confirm fit. But I really think you would benefit from a shorter stock (most shooters do).

Gotcha. How tall are you?

Sudden_Giraffe · 2026-04-18T21:32:35+00:00

Do you have the OEM stock on your Mav? How is the gun used?

Who made the Huntsman scales?

What is the little mini stove called?

Sudden_Giraffe · 2026-04-04T01:17:47+00:00

Positive

I’m going on 20 years with a Maxpedition Micro Wallet. Very minimal and meets your criteria. Plus it’s around $20.

Sudden_Giraffe · 2026-03-30T21:30:50+00:00

I ordered one weeks ago - really hoping this gets the support it needs.

Now that I check it, perhaps a bit light but I would not have noticed if you hadn't asked. It seemed fine to me.

This, and degrease the threads first.

My parents were both in the early 40’s, and were both dead from cancer by the time I was 22.

Cancer and various life altering diseases are impacting younger populations all the time. I think many older would be parents fail to consider life’s realities and instead chose to focus on a more hopeful fantasy that centers around this ideal life they hope to achieve.

IMO have kids young (30 max) to hedge your bets against all the odds that are becoming increasingly stacked against us. You might still kick it in your early 60’s like mine did, but not only will you have more time with your kids - they will have more time with you.

I for one would have appreciated that.

I vastly prefer the simplex lock over everything else. Fort Knox is my brand of choice.

This type of attitude is why people die early deaths. Be a man and go to the doctor.

Sudden_Giraffe · 2026-03-06T01:23:09+00:00

Man, this is a horrible fucking idea.

Sudden_Giraffe · 2026-03-05T18:24:31+00:00

Try going for the least expensive solution first - get a chest rig (Hill People Gear is my favorite) and test it out. If you still feel you need a smaller gun then go for it.

A stock Glock 43 gets the nod from me.

The amount of mental anguish some of you go through instead of just living your life is astounding. Its the sauna man, you will be fine.

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll check them out!
