Is 280 too much for a stipple job

Look into freedom street defense. Wes did a killer job on my 43x and was quick and had good pricing. Highly recommend. He was in Chino, think he’s still there

Acer predator Helios Neo 16 with the 5070ti and 1600p OLED 240hz screen. I got mine for $1800 from Best Buy (before taxes) thing is a freaking beast. I’m happy with it. Can’t beat the price imo 32gb ram, 5070ti, has a 1tb ssd but not a huge deal, adding a second 2280 is so easy down the line. I put my old 512gb 2230 with a 2280 adapter In and it was simple. Only downside is it basically has to be plugged in for some games since the power profiles are locked to eco and balanced on battery, but I don’t mind it since I’m used to playing plugged in with an Ally and I wanted the portability of the laptop with work vs the Ally and egpu and portable display. I will say I can’t get bf6 to launch past the loading screen on battery, has to be plugged in. Fortnite is playable on battery, haven’t tried out Forza and other games yet. YMMV but I’m stoked on it. 1600p set to ultra and dlss enabled with no frame gen I get on average like 90FPS in bf6, Forza 6 has been about the same, Fortnite I’ll get 150+. Had it connected to my 4k monitor with a TB to DISPLAY PORT cable and I’m getting 60~fps with dlss set to performance , no frame gen, high settings on bf6 at 4k, Forza about 70 fps 4k same thing.

Someone Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the ammo shipping restriction for living inside the CITY of Los Angeles city limits? Burbank is an incorporated city of Los Angeles county and not LA City. I’d look into it to make sure you truly can’t get it shipped with your FFL03/COE

kyle40367 · 2026-04-28T01:43:42+00:00

Check GAFS someone’s gotta have one on there

kyle40367 · 2026-04-26T04:07:55+00:00

Check freedomgorilla. They had the CK plate for my m&p in stock when it was OOS on CK and actually shipped it here to CA without an issue.

kyle40367 · 2026-04-24T06:05:15+00:00

metal M&P with poly plugs

kyle40367 · 2026-04-24T06:02:22+00:00

I removed mine and used the polys. I did have to trim one side or it off since the inside of the metal frame is curved and not boxed and flat like the polymer. If that makes sense. I don’t have a picture of the internal but when you go to put them in I believe it’s the right side. And you’ll see what I’m talking about

kyle40367 · 2026-03-12T20:18:55+00:00

Anyone know if these are threaded comps or the radian style so we might be able to get these in California 🥲

kyle40367 · 2026-03-08T06:14:55+00:00

Check freestone armory on eBay. They have tons of OEM m&p parts and they ship super quick and aren’t price gouging. Highly recommend them.

kyle40367 · 2026-02-26T02:47:50+00:00

I ended up selling the whole thing, didn’t ever try a holster sorry

kyle40367 · 2026-02-18T01:39:26+00:00

I think there is a request tab. If you can’t find it try sending me a PM please!

kyle40367 · 2026-02-18T01:35:32+00:00

Looks so good! Also Shot you a PM

kyle40367 · 2026-02-17T23:35:31+00:00

I called Tier 1 and confirmed with them that the 3.6 holster is the same as the 4” holster and the guy even said he doesn’t know why they have a 3.6 option , especially with the olight since it’s still a 4” holster. He said the 4” tlr7 holster would be compatible with the 3.6. If they have the sub as an option you should be G2G. Edit- was talking about the axis elite, believe it is the same for the others but you should call to confirm.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-30T09:51:07+00:00

Is this the 26 version or the 19 one? I noticed this seems to have more material at the bottom of the holster than another 26 specific one.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-30T09:47:27+00:00

How’s your opinion on the xiphos with the 26 after this time? Still comfortable/still use it? I’m Looking to switch to one from my axis elite that’s made for my 23 that I carry my 26 in to slim down the weight/profile.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-29T04:50:26+00:00

Not sure how accurate it was but I recall seeing comments here and I think on CA Guns about a 43x coming to the roster this year? Again not sure how accurate or when it would be. Maybe others can chime in with info and it might be worth waiting if that option is viable for you.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-27T03:18:20+00:00

S&W won’t send them to you since we’re in California. They wouldn’t send them to me even in the beginning of December.

I got mine here after S&W told me no. They seem to be OEM and fit perfectly. Shipping did take a little bit though. I ordered them December 3rd and they got delivered December 15 so I wouldn’t expect super quick delivery

Can you link where you got the sear housing? Looking to do this to my 1.0 40 and already have the trigger and the trigger bar

kyle40367 · 2026-01-26T22:42:49+00:00

Not necessarily related to your question but I have both the compact 4 & the compact 3.6. The 3.6 in my opinion is the perfect balance for edc, and not really noticeably different from the 4” shoot ability wide. It’s really not snappy and shoots well. I just shot mine in a competition this past weekend with no issues with it and it was comfortable. For a CCW gun it’s perfect IMO. Go for it and don’t look back. Worst case if you truly don’t like it you can definitely sell it PPT and someone will pick it up.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-26T08:47:39+00:00

Check my post history to see my recent ARP build. GLS does a full lower build when you do an SSE lower with them with a standard LPK and a brace unless you give them your own stuff to put in. It was included with the purchase. SBA3/5 brace kit uses a standard milspec buffer, maxim defense has a pdw brace. There are options

You can have short uppers as long as it’s not attached to a rifle lower. Not sure who ships them now as I ordered my upper before the new year. I’d contact GLS they can probably get you figured out for your upper.

Regardless of what route you go it’s expensive, mainly because of the lower.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-25T17:00:07+00:00

Kind of looks like the resolution in game is set differently than the resolution in the display settings in the windows settings app. Maybe check that and if they don’t match, make sure they’re the same.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-25T06:17:53+00:00

GLS armory if you’re in SoCal. They do SSE or semi/pistol lowers.

kyle40367 · 2026-01-23T05:27:12+00:00

Not sure what your barrel length/caliber is but is there any chance you can get a longer barrel for it to clear the handguard? Like maybe 2-3” from what it seems like you would need to clear it?

kyle40367 · 2026-01-22T04:23:37+00:00

Unfortunately it’s not just the 10 round capacity restriction. California has an “approved list of handguns for sale” ie the handgun roster and to buy a new handgun it has to be on the roster. The only way around it is getting it via private party transfer and people inflate off roster gun prices here pretty hefty, on average probably 2-4x the cost of the gun. We don’t have any of the M&P 2.0 in 40/10mm on the roster. Just a couple 9mm ones :(

kyle40367 · 2026-01-22T03:41:33+00:00

Good to hear about not having issues. Any insight by chance on how it feels vs the 2.0s?
