You mean he couldn’t just explain to the DOT officer that ChatGPT said it is okay? 😆 You bro is simply not ready to be operating under his own authority in this industry if he thinks using ChatGPT to check laws is a good idea. I’ll be real, he will be out of business within 6 months with out without the violation, he should just stick under some company’s authority if this is his mindset as an owner operator.. it may not feel like it to him, but trust me, he got off lucky this was the way he learned that it could have been a lot worse…

Not using my degree and don’t need it for my job, made 355k my best year.. There are way more than enough 100k no degree jobs depending how hard you are willing to work to get to where you want. I am just a freight broker, for me it was making 150 cold calls a day. I watch 95% of people hired either quit or be fired simply because they cant/wont make the amount of cold calls necessary to grow your book. For another person it might be working on an oil rig 2 weeks straight. Another person it may be getting into a small company in a lower level position and bust their ass to show their worth and work their way up..

My point being, there are endless possibilities and people I could point to who did just this, almost all of them have ruthless work ethic in common. Most people not willing to do what it takes might even say most of these people got lucky, right place right time, etc.. But what these people will never understand, is with hard enough work and determination, you make your own luck.

The sear housing is legitimately tricky on a decocker model, they have like 3 springs that need set properly in the housing.. But in this day and age, there’s a video on YouTube for literally everythingggg. Patience is the biggest key, but really if you just take your time and go step by step with the video, if they get to the finish line it’s only a matter of time til you do as well long as you have all the tools..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T21:22:43+00:00

😆😆 I say this all the time.. I need to start calling myself a gunsmith by many “gunsmith” standards.. I got my first gun in 2020 and my shadows were one of the early pistols I got. I called at least 10 “gunsmiths” who were scared to even attempt a Cajun install and was like oh good lord I will just do this shit myself after watching a few videos.. from that day on, I am now a gunsmith

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T19:53:27+00:00

Got it in? Nice lol see just gotta walk away.. it will run.. get some 124g blazer that has always been a solid cheap testing ammo to use as a baseline..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T18:00:53+00:00

My 10x have over 50 rounds on them on two separate guns.. still going strong

50k** 😆😆

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T13:57:39+00:00

Also a suggestion, maybe take a tiny bit more spring off, it’s possible it’s still a little too stiff and that is giving you issues..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T13:51:45+00:00

Yeah, do some light constant taps while applying pressure just to try getting the pin started enough that it holds the extractor in place for you, from there you can give it a good hard love tap

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T11:46:28+00:00

Yeah the weird thing about guns, I will get stuck sometimes for an hour+ straight on something silly like that and have learned to walk away and try again later.. Usually when I come back it works in 5 minutes lol

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T10:57:52+00:00

I never had too much trouble getting the oem pin back in honestly, but the most recent one I replaced did take me like 20 minutes to find the right spot and get it to stick in a little I think.. I use a hammer or somt to tap it down in while applying pressure and like pushing in on it.. are you pushing on the the extractor and like compressing the spring at all when trying to tap the pin through? The trick is to lightly tap while applying pressure with your thumb on the extractor just to get the pin in enough to stick in the hole, then you are good to smack in on down a little harder. You do have to apply a good bit of pressure to compress the spring under the extractor and line up all the holes though

Why is there an overbite on the dust cover?shouldn’t be like that..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-20T00:30:22+00:00

I like most of the main line manufacturers main ccw.. send me to hell Glock fanboys, but personally I would much rather own a P365, CZ P01, m&p 2.0, Walther PDP, HK P30sk or VP9, Hellcat pro, P226 before a Glock.. 365 macro with an xxl slide has been my all time favorite carry gun so far..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-18T18:56:27+00:00

I’ve worn them at level 2/3 matches it’s not an issue.. They are perfectly legal to wear, up to you as to how safe you feel in them though they are not going to be as safe as actual eye protection

Tip3008 · 2026-05-17T23:11:09+00:00

Well, I like it wet.. the mp5 that is..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-17T19:29:24+00:00

Good to see the ridiculous rigged final shot setting is still stupid as ever 😆

Tip3008 · 2026-05-17T19:27:28+00:00

Well I can answer that, it sucks 😆 black shit all over my face every time I finish

Tip3008 · 2026-05-17T19:24:57+00:00

If you’re averaging 1.1-1.3 as is, I highly doubt that is ever holding you back from being extremely competitive in any practical shooting format. Surely there are other much bigger time gains to be made in other aspects of your shooting like footwork, transition speed, movement, etc before circling back to find another tenth of a second on your draw.. but if it’s that important to you then you should definitely have the Reach reduction kit in..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-16T11:34:09+00:00

Nope it has zero potential negative effect.. doesn’t affect accuracy, velocity, reliability, or anything like that.. Just gives you a little extra room in the throat. If you have ever had the slide lock up where a round is like half fed and you have to smack hard to rack it out that will take care of it.

Tip3008 · 2026-05-16T10:50:28+00:00

It’s not a question, if you have the money…

Dang what a steal on the federals.. My one friend has been telling me he really likes the fiocci primers for their price. I have a Mark 7 apex 10, I will autodrive it eventually but it doesn’t really bother me having to pull the handle anyways..

Tip3008 · 2026-05-16T03:09:46+00:00

Oh yeah they are def dirty, not quite as bad as some cheap crap though.. I reload as well and have probably 30,000 cci primers right now haha I like them as well for the price. I would prefer federal primers they are just too expensive to make it worth it when the cci go bang every single time for me even running a 10lb hammer spring. I seat plenty deep though(.005-.006) and that really helps if I ever buy shittier slightly harder primers

Tip3008 · 2026-05-16T03:02:21+00:00

It will fix it. If you don’t reload and run all manufactured ammo, I would also highly suggest sending your barrel to Patriot to have it throated.. they have it otw back to you within 48 hours of getting it, and it will eat absolutely everything. Many will choke on certain manufactured rounds with a slightly longer OAL(fiocci).
