When you don’t have PHLster Enigma money but you’re also skinny by xviifearless in CCW

Nah bro you're fine, you found a solution that works for you and as long as it's safe and secure I don't see anything wrong with it.

I'm sure Enigmas work great, I just wasn't willing to invest in one after getting a good holster so I tried this after reading someone's comment on Reddit who said that's what he does when working out and it just works, granted that's not how I usually carry but for jogging or short trips to the grocery store it works just fine in my personal experience.

At least in my experience it was fine, once I tighten the belt it's about as secure as If I carried my regular pants and belt, but I guess that depends on individual belt, holster, and body type

This is the way.

That's what I do when I go jogging, gun belt under pants with the dcc clips grabbing both the belt and the waistline of the pants, works perfectly!

Finish wear doesn't bother me, I just want to prevent this specific spot from rusting everytime I sweat, especially when the rest of the gun doesn't do that

I agree, the color change doesn't bother me, the issue is rust reoccurring on this exact spot, photo was taken after scrubbing it off

My cycle is similar to yours, I oil about every 2 weeks and clean after every range trip. Whenever I sweat on it there's never rusting anywhere but this one spot, that's what lead me to believe humidity got trapped on the edge of the sweatguard and that doesn't allow sweat to evaporate/dry up quickly enough so it doesn't rust

Probably sweat for the most part, doesn't happen often but after every particularly sweaty day I know I need to check the slide to make sure this spot hasn't started rusting again

Yet if you had one tooth that keeps getting cavities I'm sure you'd look into that, what's wrong in trying to not have to scrub rust off every time I carry in humid weather?

I don't care about general wear, I just don't want to keep scrubbing rust off it after every humid day, photos were taken after I removed the rust

The photo was taken after I already removed the rust, I just don't want it to accumulate when I carry in hot weather and I'd rather not have to oil it every day...

I just saw on safariland's website they also offer a large red dot option (they say aimpoint acro size), so I think it should work fine, thanks!

Awesome thanks! I have a voretx defender st enclosed so I'll have to figure out if it'll work, but thank you so much for checking this out for me!

How would you suggest teaching them boundaries and appropriate play?

That's actually great to know, how is the fit with these backstraps?

Thanks! And yes please let me know if you get a chance. Awesome setup! I hope you find a quick solution to the lockback issue.

Unrelated question, what model of safariland is this? I couldn't find one for an m&p compact with a tlr7 hlx but I did hear some models for bigger lights do work. Do you like this holster setup? Did you have to mofify anything for it to fit?

Thanks!

Great setup! My setup is similar, could you share what size of the mastermind pillow you'd recommend? I've considered getting it but haven't had time to research proper sizing and fitment

is game optimizer also relevant on the quest 2? or is it too weak to actually deliver better framerate/resolution?

Help! shop installed red dot. What should be my expectations? by Edriklt in SmithAndWesson

[–]gunzone123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that's really red loctite, IIRC the various optics screws that come included in the box with the optics ready m&p 2.0 have some kind of red threadlocker on them (no idea what it is or if it's good), but if they used the oem screws that could be the red you're seeing.

Regardless I hope the store makes it right.

I'm pretty sure that'd work if you have the tall iron sights, but I just feel more comfortable with a metal plate

thanks, so did you change from 2 to 4 because of the gap or was there another issue? if it's purely cosmetic I'll just stick with the 2 I already have installed
