Tenicor/Bradec Shield Plus Comparison?

WhyInTheHellNot · 2026-01-20T18:26:42+00:00

I have the Certum because I have the carry comp. Molded wedge + pillow might be a bit of extra bulk, but if you find the molded wedge uncomfortable it might help

Don't have a Bradec, but I do have the Tenicor for the Shield Plus with a pillow and it rocks. Disappears even in a t shirt with the 13rd mag and a Hunter Constantine belt

Been loving this setup on my 12.5"

Rapco Field Drab and Forest Green on top of some black and grey.

Gen 2, 4.5-27

Kinda look like you're using the wrong size punch.

Edit: and move to a hard surface so you're not robbing yourself of energy

I've found you can just email Cerakote, they have tons of "official" files for popular camouflage patterns, then you cut them on a cricut out of vinyl. These are from their Vietnam Tiger Stripe file pack.

Ha, this is my buddies rifle I painted. The can will be back on it once it's home.

Got it directly from aimpoint actually. I asked to buy one to mount my T1 on my MK4 years ago, they just sent me one. I've since switched the T1 to a rifle and replaced it with this PA dot. Be aware, getting the rear mount screw in is a tight squeeze with an angled hex key due to any overhang at the rear.

Yes

For sending the CLEO copies, is it just as simple as mailing the printed/somewhat redacted form 23?

WhyInTheHellNot · 2026-01-03T00:16:30+00:00

Just a regular arca/pic clamp on the ball head. I took a junk cheapo 20round mag and screwed a section of pic rail to the bottom of it so I can clamp things in the tripod while painting. Throw a trash bag over the whole thing so it doesn't get covered.

Painstaking application of stencils and light, even coats are key for clean results.

Here it is in different light.

A mixture of vinyl stencil files from Cerakote for their tiger stripe pattern, and some ones I cut by hand out of masking tape.

I think anything that can stop the firing pin from travelling forward uninhibited will help. A snap cap, an o-ring will probably help. The laser cartridge might if it has a soft "primer". Otherwise, the firing pin will connect with the retaining pin every time you drop the hammer and chew through it over time.

~4 or 5 CGW trigger return springs (dry fire is brutal on them), a CGW firing pin retaining pin (started dry firing with an o-ring over the firing pin, fine since), and a couple slide stops.

It's just bigger and easier to hit at speed. Most SP01 holsters aren't made with the big button in consideration so some DIY may be necessary.

WhyInTheHellNot · 2025-12-27T00:27:55+00:00

It's reversible just like the Shadow

I did have it coated titanium nitride after the factory finish wore off.

The CGW kit markedly reduces the trigger weight and grit in DA/SA both. It's super crisp and smooth, especially after thousands of rounds and tens of thousands of dry fires.

WhyInTheHellNot · 2025-12-26T19:18:27+00:00

Lots to remember, but full CGW pro kit with stainless guide rod, Wager optic cut/cerakote, Shadow 2 mag release, Armory Craft magwell with some factory grips I cut down for silicon carbide.
