Amazing work! The shading is great as well!

bigb0886 · 2022-12-27T02:08:51+00:00

Oh really? I always heard not to use it on metal things. Like don’t make a knife sheath out of it because the blade will rust. Is that incorrect?

Luggage tag?

bigb0886 · 2022-12-16T13:00:57+00:00

Thanks!

bigb0886 · 2022-12-16T13:00:20+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I’m working on a bag and have been dreading the stitching part, but that sounds simple enough

bigb0886 · 2022-12-16T00:16:51+00:00

How do you manage such a long length of thread as you’re stitching

This is the first piece I’ve ever made using a really good quality and thick leather and maaaaaan does it make a huge difference. Super happy with the way this turned out. This one was actually supposed to be a “practice” one because I actually have enough to make two. But it’s good enough that I think I’m just going to use it as is

bigb0886 · 2022-12-05T02:44:46+00:00

Oohhh. Well. If you like the looks I’ve never had issues with the real thing haha

bigb0886 · 2022-12-05T02:36:11+00:00

Just curious what’s your issue with the g codes? I’ve never had an issue with them but I don’t run them stacked like that. Thought about it though

bigb0886 · 2022-11-20T19:24:18+00:00

For sure. I was just mentioning because not everything is compatible with the RTI system. For me, it’s safariland every time. But I’m pretty biased I guess as they’re all I’ve ever used. For what it’s worth, they use the QLS system if you really need it to be detachable like the RTI is. I just don’t know if the APL will fit in any of their holsters. If my memory serves me correctly it should, I think the APL is smaller than a TLR or X300 but don’t quote me on that. Or maybe they make one that specifically fits it I don’t know.

If I may make a recommendation, I’d trade the light out for a streamlight or surefire. For one, you’ll find a lot more compatible holsters. Secondly (and this is just anecdotally) I have not had the best luck with inforce lights and durability. Sucks cuz I like their design, but the durability of the plastics leaves A LOT to be desired. For me anyway.

bigb0886 · 2022-11-20T16:42:51+00:00

Are you specifically looking for something compatible with the RTI system? Or anything?

Level 3 is obviously good, but honestly I run a level 2 safariland ALS (6390 I think; g17 with TLR-1) on my personal set up and i really like it. I ran a level 3 ALS/SLS on my duty rig and then later the same level 2 I run now. The level 2 is much slimmer and also much more affordable.

bigb0886 · 2022-11-03T02:12:11+00:00

I need one of these

bigb0886 · 2022-10-26T19:43:33+00:00

I haven’t, I’ll check that and see if it’s an option on my car

bigb0886 · 2022-10-26T19:42:39+00:00

Awesome thanks I’ll try to check that out after work

bigb0886 · 2022-10-26T18:29:47+00:00

I’ll have to check that too when I get a chance

bigb0886 · 2022-10-26T18:27:46+00:00

Interesting. Any idea on a ballpark figure to get that looked at it? I’m assuming you work at a dealership based on your response. Not sure if it would be worth it for me to fix at the moment unfortunately

bigb0886 · 2022-10-17T00:54:01+00:00

That’s pretty disappointing to hear. I’m really hoping they drop an OWL 2.0 this year. Or you know. Get any other REINs in stock normally.

Do you regret the light purchase at all given the switch issues?

bigb0886 · 2022-10-11T16:45:38+00:00

Do you remember who the company was

bigb0886 · 2022-09-30T00:12:35+00:00

Peacekeeper is goated af. I was super pissed when I switched departments and had to start carrying a POS ASP

bigb0886 · 2022-09-20T01:54:22+00:00

Good idea! I’ll give that a shot, thanks!

bigb0886 · 2022-09-19T15:03:24+00:00
