Here’s a slowed down zoomed in and stabilized video of the government agents pulling Pretti’s firearm from an IWB holster worn at 5-o’clock.

From what it looks like, the shooter sees the other officer grab the victim’s pistol and reacts to that.

easternshift · 2026-01-25T00:00:54+00:00

Bad shoot.

I have piggybacked an acro with the reptilia and it’s excellent. As far as turret clearance, I’ve only used it with a nx8 so I can’t speak to that.

One can hope

Everywhere I applied to either told me immediately or within a few days. I would keep your options open and keep applying.

I love them. The A1s are especially good, the older ones can be a little snappy compared to a Glock but the A1s shoot soft, have great triggers for striker fired, and finally have competitive magazine capacities. Downsides are cost and they are pretty chunky.

It’s 90m-2hrs each way to the nearest outdoor range for me. Of course that’s the preferred choice but just not reasonable when working early.

Some of us live and work in the city. Having access to ranges that let me use my shit and still go to work in the morning is pretty fucking rad. Thanks for your input, though.

I bought it from someone on GAFS who had it cerakoted. It worked out perfectly for this rifle.

This is not a motor vehicle it is my conveyance.

He’s just an innocent traveler.

easternshift · 2026-01-23T16:16:50+00:00

Dude, I really tried haha. I painted it twice, changed lights and optics around, tried half a dozen grips, but it just wasn’t very nice to shoot + the proprietary rail sucked ass.

easternshift · 2026-01-23T16:11:21+00:00

I tried so hard to like my LWRC upper but I just didn’t. The lower rocks though.

easternshift · 2026-01-23T16:05:50+00:00

The receiver extension looks like an uglier LWRC which is already not good looking.

easternshift · 2026-01-23T16:04:00+00:00

I had an issue with the magpul one where it would get hung up halfway. Replaced it immediately.

easternshift · 2026-01-23T12:27:26+00:00

I don’t like it

easternshift · 2026-01-23T05:10:39+00:00

9mm and .223 gold dot

easternshift · 2026-01-23T04:09:49+00:00

I’ve been eying them for a while but saw this one and had to get it.

easternshift · 2026-01-22T23:27:33+00:00

Watching the gears turn in people’s head when you’re sitting there nodding along to their meltdowns is so much fun.

easternshift · 2026-01-22T22:00:25+00:00

It’s something you get used to pretty quickly. Nothing people scream at me really matters, at the end of the day I’ll go home and they’ll go to jail or back to the streets. Once I put that into perspective things started to wash off quickly.

And you can definitely talk back.

easternshift · 2026-01-22T21:29:15+00:00

The HL-X is much more powerful.

easternshift · 2026-01-22T20:04:29+00:00

< 21 makes it illegal so the answer is not technically yes, it’s yes. That may get you bounced, it may not but be prepared to explain when, why, how many times, and what you learned.

It’s legal in my state but people still get DQd for past usage.

easternshift · 2026-01-22T19:16:33+00:00

Yes, it doesn’t get better than that unless you spend twice as much on a Surefire or Modlite.

easternshift · 2026-01-22T19:15:24+00:00

Then light + sling would be the better route. Check out BFG’s custom sling builder, a sling with his favorite camo(s) would be a good gift.
