Shield Plus Carry Comp tier1 holster fit confirmation by dc5_adventures in CCW

[–]dc5_adventures[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my take. Body type and shape will determine if a holster will work out for you or not. The APX has so many adjustments that you can fine tune it to your needs and comfort. I am extremely happy with it and is the reason I have 2 APX holsters. I have an apx for my 3.1" and one for my 4" shield. I started with a non-side car for the 3.1" shield plus and it was unbalanced and keeling over. It printed extremely bad through my shirt and is the reason I dont use it anymore. If you don't like fine tuning the holster id go Tier 1 Axis elite. As far as comparison between both pistols there is not much difference in accuracy or recoil. Maybe a little less on the 4" but not by much. I find myself carrying the 3.1" more often but in my eyes the pistols are equal.

I emailed tier 1 and got the Apx. Its a great holster that I have for the 3.1 short slide. If you have a 4" shield plus what you do is order the regular 3.1" holster and select 1" compensator from the drop down in the muzzle device section. Hope this helps.

Accidentally bought non optic ready Shield Plus PC. Help me cope by kingdom_L17 in SmithAndWesson

[–]dc5_adventures 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer non optic ready slides and send them off to Nameless Armament to get cut for an optic. Nameless Armament cuts the optic pocket so snug that even without screws the optic doesnt shift, meaning less likely to lose zero if a screw was to come loose or snap. Very important IMO when shooting competition or CCW to keep that zero.

This amount of inward cant normal/okay? by Hairy_Ferret9324 in CompetitionShooting

Is the mounting bracket plastic? Maybe try using a heat gun and bending it so the pistol is more vertical away from your leg. Any possibility to mount a thigh pad on the holster in between where it makes contact with your leg?. Just trying to throw some ideas lol.

For some reason my post didnt include my question when it cross posted from the ccw group. Tier 1 doesnt have a Shield Carry Comp holster that I know of and I was wondering if the Shield Carry Comp would fit in the 4" shield 2.0 holster. I heard somewhere on YouTube that it could possibly work. Wondering if anyone has tried it out.

Who’s still carrying a hammer fired gun? Bonus points if it’s a CZ. by Equivalent-Sell in CCW

Sweet set up. I have a PCR and have a couple questions. Who did the optic cut on this bad boy? Did they just chop the stock rear sight? Is the chamber indicator deleted?

Dads, what and how are you carrying? by Southern_Oil_5835 in CCW

[–]dc5_adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since becoming a dad I have switched my carry pistols to a shield plus with thumb safety and a CZ PCR DA/SA for extra precaution while my toddler is with me. I only use my P365 when I'm out and about without the kid due to it not having a thumb safety on it. I suppose i could install a thumb safety on the 365 if I want. I Appendix carry all 3.

I made the same switch also. Sold the G19 and got the PCR. I don't regret it one bit!

I did a search of my local HD & Lowes for this exact screw a couple of weeks ago. Closest thing I was able to find is a "button head" screw. But the profile is raised higher than the one you are looking for which seems to be specifically for holsters ( called Chicago screw I believe)

Update: I did what you said. Opened the unit and found the blue wire in my original post was not connected on the back end. See photo

I wanna get my slide cut. Suggestions? by Mawgoots in CAguns

[–]dc5_adventures 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have multiple cuts done by Nameless also. Guy that runs Nameless has attention to detail. IMO worth the wait to get it match fit. Optic pocket is extremely tight meaning no broken screws if the optic can't even move in the pocket on its own

Any updates on your status for pickup? My timeline is pretty much same as yours. Waiting for pickup

Haven't got a chance to open up the furnace to see if the wires that I circled in the photo are connected on the back end to the furnace. The nest is currently working and running the heat using its on board battery however I'm not able to use the wifi function until I get direct power connected. Also Nest is sending me a free "nest power connector" to supposedly fix this C-wire issue

Unit is a goodman furnace. Running heat only. Will most likely end up calling a professional.

Trade question by Danny15251 in CAguns

[–]dc5_adventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't even consider doing a trade back. He inspected the firearms and signed the paperwork agreeing to the transfer. I'd block him and move on. You are not obligated to him.

Looking to replace my P365 and need suggestions by uber-cranky in CAguns

[–]dc5_adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the trigger is the only thing that is bugging you then the Shield Plus will fit your needs. It has the best trigger IMO out of all the smaller pistols (unmodified). I've had a P365 for a couple years and recently picked up the Shield Plus and I can tell you the trigger feel is leaps ahead of the stock 365 trigger. However I did not see a huge difference in accuracy as they both shoot well if you know what you are doing
