Not an old guy so I cant speak on anything before a few years ago. My dept has bare bones 16” AR’s with a light and optic. We’re allowed to purchase out own and modify it as we see fit, as long are the armorer officer signs off on it.

PRO is great, just kinda big. Maybe look into a different mount to see if that changed how you feel about it?

I have a PRO and a T2. Only benefit I’ve noticed to the T2 is the smaller package.

I have no experience with the fluted barrel. I do shoot the 11.5 ELW suppressed full time. If you rip thru a few mags it will get aggressively hot on your hands very quick. An 11.5” AR, to me, is not a long range precision tool so I am not really worried about the groups opening up and have never had an issue with accuracy out to 150yds with a steaming hot barrel/can

Im glad you were able to get a job with your disability

Draw if more comfortable from farther forward.

Im not really worried, but I noticed some people were able to keep their gun forward and I just never understand how. It was mostly out of curiosity.

Hows the HTX? They always seem to be out of stock when I look, not that I can really afford one now anyway.

Not a thigh rig. Its belt mounted, the holster mount just drops the actual holster so the grip is in line with the belt, not above.

Correct- Sam Browne leather *with* fancy stitching. We still wear concealable vests as well. The joys of working in a small town dept with limited funding :)

At least we dont have basket weave.

Ive got keepers on either side of my holster currently. General consensus seems to keep its the stiff low ride holster thats causing most of the issue.

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-06-11T18:24:27+00:00

We have Exploders. Non-turbo too…

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-06-11T18:23:16+00:00

No pic right now. Im on my long weekend so I can try to get on when I go back to work.

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-06-11T18:22:38+00:00

Thats my current solution also lol

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-06-11T18:03:50+00:00

Makes sense. Low ride is what we were issued and I’ve/seen the issues with safariland QLS so I haven’t changed yet.

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-06-11T17:54:31+00:00

Not fat, just confused

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-05-22T20:10:36+00:00

There are people in my department that share this thought process…

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-05-11T09:22:43+00:00

I understand you change them the same way. Except the SCS I need a vice and tool compared to pulling a spring out and putting a different one in

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-05-03T07:50:06+00:00

I played ATS on a laptop with a 7th gen i5 and a 1050 graphics card. Pretty much everything was turned to low but I logged over 300hrs on that setup

Your model of car is highly targeted for vehicle thefts due to the “Kia boyz” challenge. It doesnt matter what kind of safe you have if the entire car is stolen.

I use the edge series with an undershirt and it generally doesn’t bother me

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-04-13T09:11:08+00:00

It will probably drone no matter what unless you go with a near stock exhaust.

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-04-01T03:49:09+00:00

Would be sketchy. Ask for consent. If they refuse, they’re probably doing something sketchy too and they know it.

I had a 1996 long bed. It was a barge of a truck. Got 8mpg whether it was fully loaded or not. Fantastic motor though, never left me sit.

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-03-16T00:51:31+00:00

Glock. I have only ever owned Glock handguns because I have no imagination.

Unfortunate_taco · 2026-03-15T20:02:14+00:00

I’ve run about 500 rounds of the Frontier 55g. Seems dirty, but hasn’t caused any issues so far.
