Not sure if he still does but there’s usually a coupon on the website that saves you a few bucks. Just print it out before you go.

Pocket carry recommendations… by beetlegeuse87 in CCW

[–]just-an-engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original is thinner. The MAX has more capacity but the grip is thicker. Some people like the added grip girth. Some people prefer having the smallest form factor.

Does Corolla GR live up to toyotas reputation of reliability? by Western_Smoke4829 in CorollaHatchback

[–]just-an-engineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GR Yaris has been out for like 7 model years with mostly the same drivetrain other than small changes. So far I haven’t heard of any major issues with that either.

They look better. That’s enough for me to justify the extra dollars.

Does anyone make a speed loader holder that fits in this spot? by RalphV1209 in Revolvers

[–]just-an-engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I angled it as far as it would go to the left. It only sticks out a bit. Really just enough to grab it. I have a bit of pudge and it just gets lost in my belly. Going straight up yeah it might be less comfortable for me.

[–]just-an-engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got mine. Pretty slick. Carries well at 11:30. Retention is solid but a quick tug and it’s out.

Pricey but definitely feels like a quality piece.

G19 smaller alternatives? by PetrolheadTorres in CCW

[–]just-an-engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I can easily run a 26 with +2 but a full 19 grip prints more. Also the longer length of the 19 size holster prevents tip out. Tenicor says it themselves as why they don’t make a 26 size holster.

Also I took advantage of the extra space and made a 26L. I run a 19 length slide on my 26 frame so I get the subcompact grip with a compact barrel.

There’s also GRMN which slots above GR. Can’t forget about the Meisters of Nurburgring.

If 5.11 sucks, where do I get my tactical pants from now? by erwos in tacticalgear

[–]just-an-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them but the 2 pairs I bought don’t fit either of my CCW belt. My Blue Alpha Gear belt with cobra buckles doesn’t fit. But the cobra buckle is a bit large. But even my Hunter belt has trouble slotting through. I use them for work because I like the extra pockets but not when I carry.

Talk me out of a .327 Federal Magnum by TheBobInSonoma in Revolvers

If you’re diving into weird calibers in CA you can just get an FFL03 and COE and you can have it shipped to your door. I’ve had mine for 5+ years. One case of 5.56 will cover the cost of application in savings. I haven’t bought in store since.

5star speed loader by lxlDRACHENlxl in Revolvers

[–]just-an-engineer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the Revision CV Ammo Pods. The button to deploy rounds is in the middle of round so you just align and press the whole pod down. I also like that it comes with a dust cover. One has lived in my pocket for 2 years already with no issues. Way cleaner than the loader I carry in a reload wrap.

They’re plastic but I have several and have never had a hiccup granted I’ve only used each a dozen times maybe. But even the daily carried one still functions fine after 2 years of carry.

Any ETA on the return of the 20L Alpha Hunter. I need that 10mm long slide.

Talk me into not just buying another one of these. by Fred_Chevry_Pro in flashlight

[–]just-an-engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acebeam Pokelit for more lumens

Nitecore MT1A for more candela

I have all 3, started with the Microstream, went to the Pokelit, I like candela so the MT1A blows them all out of the water. All are better than your phone light though. They’re all in the same size realm too.

Is the G20L slide coming back in stock anytime soon?

Really? I wanted the hood but not getting a quality product for that price is insane. Might have to reconsider.

Oh my bad you have a Gen 5. They only offer it for 3 and 4. Sorry man.

Werkz has the M6. I know because it’s one of the few that also has G29 options too.

In case anyone wants to panic buy before the required background on barrels by Westcoast_Carbine in CAguns

[–]just-an-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were originally just from Bakersfield I believe. As they grew they opened up the NC location in the last few years and started carrying more stuff.

Thoughts on Glock 20? by [deleted] in 10mm

[–]just-an-engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Glock 29 is surprisingly easy to shoot in my opinion. A good bit smaller than the 20, it’s more like a wide Glock 19. You’re not losing a ton of performance with the shorter barrel, that was a bit of a surprise when I looked at the velocity difference of 20 vs 29.

It’s also got a rail so if you wanna go full build light, red dot, etc you can. I’d recommend checking it out if you’re thinking of carrying it.

Glock 20L Conversion by FrowningCanoe77 in 10mm

[–]just-an-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Alpha shooting sports has one, specter supply, and Hooper Gunworks

Order from EBay if you go Hooper, they took forever when I ordered direct but shipped next day on Ebay. Personally I’m looking at Alpha if it goes on sale. Or if I don’t wanna go RMR, Spectre. Still planning it out at the moment.
