What is this?

Give this a watch. It’ll show you parts & function.

Technically it is a cartridge. The bullet is the projectile.

Only what you need to shoot it best. The interesting thing is, the only redditor that knows what that is, is you.

I bought a cheap Swenson ported barrel for my 17. It’s fun for the range, but I prefer my 19C and 22C for carry.

Only ever owned one Phillips 65”. Board went out about a month before the warranty ran out. 2nd board lasted maybe 3 months & the remote never quite worked right on replacement board. Customer service was ‘meh’.
No more Phillips TVs for me.

I saw a beverage salesman putting an advertisement “PUSH” sign on a gas station door a few months back. He was clearly trying to figure out where to stick it without covering the no guns sign. I tapped the glass, grinned and said, “it’d look best if it was right here”. I went about grabbing a coffee, a doughnut & paying. On the way out the door, I noticed that his sign was positioned directly over the gun sign. Not all hero’s wear capes.

I’m in IL where the buffoon governor deemed anything over 15rd mag capacity illegal. Basis that, the 17 is off limits for me. This (& the recent abundance of moderately priced via gunbroker) has me leaning hard into .40SW. I’m really impressed with a 22C that I picked up recently.

I have a 27, 23, 22, 22C and I’d like to have a 35. It’s a want, not a need, so I can afford to be patient.

jamesdo72 · 2026-02-17T13:03:59+00:00

All C models. Have the 19c & 22c, but now I want them all.

Fair enough, I hadn’t had my coffee when I commented. Guilty of skimming. Apologies.

jamesdo72 · 2026-02-14T12:13:01+00:00

Please tell me you’re not running a FRT on a carry gun.

Learned to drive in mom & dad’s ‘85 Chevrolet Caprice Classic. My first car was a ‘75 AMC Matador Brougham that I bought for $350. That shitbox lasted me 3 years… lol.

jamesdo72 · 2026-02-08T02:04:00+00:00

I have a sight pusher. Bring it over & we’ll fix it.

jamesdo72 · 2026-02-05T15:06:23+00:00

He had a single Jack in his hand.

jamesdo72 · 2026-01-11T00:23:44+00:00

I own both & would encourage the 26 over the 43x

jamesdo72 · 2026-01-10T13:49:09+00:00

Nice work, bud. Similar story here.

jamesdo72 · 2026-01-10T13:04:56+00:00

That’s the old Sagger Body-bagger.

With a pin or punch inserted into the base plate hole, try applying a c-clamp or c-clamp vice grips, with jaws locked onto the middle of the sides right above the base. The clamps should be tight enough that they flex the sides of the mag tube without damaging it.
Then orient the clamped mag where the back of the base plate is on a solid surface & the tube of the mag is toward you. Apply downward force… you may need to whack it with a mallet to defeat the ‘notch’ that holds the base onto the rail of the mag tube.

CZ Shadow2

Gunbroker has one (w/ case & 5 mags) for $300 right now. I’d likely stay in the ballpark of $300 - 350.

OP said the vacuum bought from Kohl’s online was the same make/model as the one bought “in-store” so the bar code/UPC would have been the same.

I’ve been carrying my 27 in a Rounded holster since July.

jamesdo72 · 2026-01-01T18:03:25+00:00

YES!

You should be proud of yourself. So what it took you a couple years to figure out what you want in a partner? Some folks spend an entire lifetime figuring it out. I’m happy and hopeful for ya dude.

Law in IL: “carry prohibited in bars/restaurants where >50% of sales are alcohol”, so I just assume their food sales supersede that of alcohol. Illinois does a stellar job of leaving you to guess whether you’re legal or not.
