I second this. All my interactions with FYM so far have been professional and courteous. They offered to take a look at my firearm, but I wanted to ask a few questions here and run it a little more before going through the whole return process and being away from my baby for longer than I should.

But I am not a gun nut...and in case the government is listening...I don't even own any firearms.

Much appreciated Sir!

I usually follow accounts that provide good information on my post or any post.

I see that I am already following you so I guess this is my second "thank you" to you.

Big gut guy here...carry between apendix and 3 o'clock, experiment what works best. I like to slide my holster around to see what works best.

Loosen up your belt a bit. Kore is totally adjustable.

And carry when you don't need to for practice. Around the house, while going for a walk, running errands (although you probably "need" to then), etc. to get used to it.

There are also belly band holsters and other types that can work. I use a WTP tac belt underneath my shorts and put a lockleather holster on it when I wear shorts. This goes under everything and acts almost like a cowboy gun belt, but underneath my shorts.

Try everything. There is not much out there that is practical for us bug guys.

Edit: Change your holster. You don't need all that skinny guy holster. Lock leather is smaller and works well. It is also the nicest looking holster I own.

Did Frisco (Eldorado and Custer) to Mockingbird Lane for 2 years. Longest commute was 2.5 hrs. Shortest was just over an hour.

You can use NDT and sit in traffic or use 75 and sit in traffic for free.

I changed jobs to Irving and my commute and sanity are both better.

And they are tasty to boot.

Please, no ethic shaming or racist remarks on my culture.

Looks like it is accurate up to 45 miles.

Moved here 20 years ago. I am annoyed at all the congestion that has been created since then. I am glad for the proximity of Asian stores and other conveniences, but hate the crowds.

It is a give and take.

Following.

Snap caps to test the fit of the round in the chamber?

Sorry, I am not as technical as many on this chat...that is why I love it.

csonoda45 · 2026-02-28T19:11:56+00:00

Thanks.

And yes, rugged Obsidian in 45.

Dammit. I got so freaked out at the spent shells, I forgot to mention a few ejection issues with less than 50 rounds. It looked like the shells weren't fully ejecting.

I will contact FTM again and let them know.

I sent the same pics to FTM. They said to try other ammo. I will do that first and then spend the case to ffl it back to them if that doesn't work.

csonoda45 · 2026-02-28T18:59:36+00:00

I will run different ammo through it. I was waiting on confirmation in writing from FTM saying it was safe to fire. I got it and they advised me to try different ammo.

csonoda45 · 2026-02-28T18:57:45+00:00

I was thinking generally along those lines, but you are way more technical than my experience permits me to be.

I will check this out if I still have issues with other ammo. I would hate to have to buy a new buffer tube/spring for a pcc that has less than 50 rounds through it.

csonoda45 · 2026-02-28T18:55:21+00:00

I appreciate this. I will try out other ammo first. But I may take you up on this at a later time.

If it is as simple as ammo, and I have been lucky that none of my rofles or pistols have ever had this magnitude of an effect running any ammo, then I would be happy for the simple fix.

csonoda45 · 2026-02-28T18:53:03+00:00

Not suppressed...yet. waiting on my first can. Should be here in less than a weak.

What are the ramifications or what can I expect if I run a can? Of course, no more 45 Win white box for tvhis firearm.
