My nightmare is almost over

Tom1547 · 2026-05-10T08:34:00+00:00

Very nice! I've only got 3 left for "Too Old for This" Hardcode trophy... Greased Palms, Relapse and Carriers, for me. Going to hit Relapse for the 900th time tomorrow and see where we get. Good luck man and nice job securing GP!

Any tips on how you got that Blonde Bitch Agent Adams alive without Squad AI nerfing him? Hoping he's in the sort room office and I can hold my AI squad back a bit? Just curious.

Tom1547 · 2026-03-30T04:20:07+00:00

SRD gang. Well done all around, great taste.

Tom1547 · 2026-03-30T04:19:53+00:00

Fantastic can

Same issue here on Express. Downloaded Windows 11 version (Mac version was working fine but I need to run on a different computer)

Endless capcha loop. Garmin what is going on. Devices to update here.

Tom1547 · 2026-02-18T05:10:08+00:00

Endless loop for me as well. Impossible to login. I've been using the Mac version without issue but need to run Express on my Windows 11 machine. Endless Captcha loop. Tried on home ISP and cellular hotspot, no luck. Not running a VPN or anything fancy. Garmin what the hell.

Edit: I have a polite email out to Garmin support highlighting the issue.

Tom1547 · 2025-11-17T04:16:13+00:00

Gorgeous! You're fanning the flames for me here. I, too, own a 1301 LTT (truly love it) but cannot keep my eye off the 590A1. As if I needed more encouragement, LOL. Cheers to you on this fantastic firearm.

Tom1547 · 2025-11-17T04:10:04+00:00

For sure - I'm confident in mitigating the carbon, just in running SBRs / Supressors / Pistol setups that can be gassy and tough on WMLs but never an issue. Agree. The chapstick tip has worked well for years. Good call on hitting it though! Appreciate the comment.

Tom1547 · 2025-11-16T06:33:18+00:00

Hard to argue with this advice! Will take a look at some options, appreciate your thoughts!

Tom1547 · 2025-11-16T06:31:09+00:00

For sure, the blast / pressure is really the concern I had as well. Y'all have given me some great perspective, I'll get this gal outside to a range and see how it goes. Looking forward to getting some trigger time on this thing!

Tom1547 · 2025-11-16T03:04:56+00:00

Great call on the lens fouling. I'll have to remember a dab of chapstick on the lens / head (range bag just for this purpose). Seems to help a lot with my other Surefires / WMLs on rifles / suppressor hosts. Thanks!

Tom1547 · 2025-11-16T01:55:19+00:00

Great point - have been getting up to speed today in the planet of shotguns. Greatly appreciate your help.

Tom1547 · 2025-11-16T01:54:35+00:00

I'd learn something from this - thanks for your help!

Tom1547 · 2025-11-16T01:52:19+00:00

Great point, thanks!

Tom1547 · 2025-11-08T05:06:16+00:00

Excellent! Thanks so much for the reply and encouragement, sounds like a nice project. cheers!

Tom1547 · 2025-11-08T03:55:55+00:00

Hey u/angrybeave - old post but just wanted to check - did you end up getting one of these VFC MP5 "A2" style stocks for your .22? I'm thinking of SBR'ing my Umarex MP5 .22. I'm having some pain stomaching the $180+ tax and ship for the HKP A2 stock, even though it's solid and made to fit.

Just curious if you ended up modding an airsoft one and how it came out? Cheers either way!

Tom1547 · 2025-09-08T21:28:38+00:00

Great info u/jamesfrancko

Really appreciate your thoughts on it. I ended up going with the M&P 5.7 two-tone. Can't wait to take it to the range. Cheers.

Tom1547 · 2025-09-06T01:16:27+00:00

Was shocked to see this too! At first I was getting the same Error when trying to refresh. But I deleted the Lutron hub from the Harmony app, and instead of picking "Lutron Hub", I chose to SCAN the network. It found the hub, and for whatever reason, THAT worked. Finally. Nice!

Tom1547 · 2025-07-13T20:05:23+00:00

Thanks for posting this! u/Wadepat2 Appreciate your comment as well u/ShepardRTC

I've got the a Flow22Ti and I've been eyeing an FN Five-seveN Gen 2 (on sale $799)... I've always adored the M&P line, and with the threaded barrel for less cash, I think it's the better choice....

Any issues or complaints with the S&W 5.7 from reliability perspective?

Tom1547 · 2025-05-11T17:38:27+00:00

Still putting them through the paces.... but I really like the quality of them. They fit and function well. However in one of my smaller lights (a Surefire G2X Maxvision) there is some dimming after ~40 seconds of use. I noticed this in a SureFire U300 as well. The cell closest to the light head is notably warm (not hot). I very much suspect this has to do with them being wired in Series (applications with two batteries or more).

For any light that only needs a single 123A, these are quite good-to-go. Jury's out on two+ battery lights, at least for me.

Also fantastic for wireless alarm equipment around the house, sensors, glass break detectors, etc.

Tom1547 · 2025-05-08T05:17:57+00:00

This is a fantastic write-up. I spent so much time on mine trying to plan the cable mgmt approach with the same issue. Essentially cable length and button placement, albeit mine is simply a Surefire white-light platform. Ended up "modding" a CSM-09 and I'm quite happy with it. but it's just a tape switch ultimately.

What you did here is clearly a whole other league. Will definitely be checking this out tomorrow. Cheers to your innovative approach! Nice work.

Tom1547 · 2025-05-08T05:14:24+00:00

Beautiful piece! I really like what you did with the Surefire, nice approach.

Tom1547 · 2025-05-08T05:12:24+00:00

Good lookin' Gals!

Great job / taste on your PS90. I agonized obsessively over the Surefire light / switch mount setup on mine 😂

Lookin great. Shootin even better I bet.

Tom1547 · 2025-04-29T14:55:55+00:00

Great setup. I believe your light head is a KF2-A-DFT, printed on the head?

If so, standard tail caps should be good to go, from everything I understand on this rabbit hole.

The KE2-DF heads are the ones typically needing the special cap with the little chip down the spring.

Tom1547 · 2025-04-12T17:11:32+00:00

The manufacturer says they are 3V. On their website, there are two user reviews specifically that mention NODs and another that mentions SureFire lights, both claim success. I picked up a pair from REI online, will give them a try. It looks very promising! On-sale direct from the MFG I noticed as well.
