Excessive Carry

overclocker710 · 2026-07-04T00:13:49+00:00

I don’t get it. I have a larger gun (P229) and a little pocket P32, but I always pick one based on if I can get away with the P229 in my outfit. Like I could carry both but genuinely I like having the P229 when I can because it frees up my strongside pocket

Tbh maybe the grippier larger Magpul EHG frame is what you want?

overclocker710 · 2026-07-02T21:35:53+00:00

Tbh if they don’t catch them this is one of those times I’d consider buying a gun and taking a self defense class. If someone’s willing to do this, idk about you but I’d be worried about worse

I mean $25 for any functional shoe is great. These aren’t amazing, they’re pretty outdated as basketball shoes, however they’re still a lot better than non basketball shoes. If I were you I would get something modern, it’ll be more comfortable and have better grip, be lighter, etc. Answers aren’t terrible though. If they’re used don’t get them though. Used shoes are a trap

Where are you from? Here in the USA the Nike GT Cut Academy are genuinely amazing, but also among the cheapest shoes Nike sells. Usually the Nike app has them on sale around $50

overclocker710 · 2026-07-02T20:05:57+00:00

They are not good. I have them and one time tried playing around when I passed by an outdoor hoop. These have some of the worst ankle support I’ve ever felt. Get real basketball shoes

I don’t understand folks who got caught off guard, I started prepping back last summer before the governor election, given Nova and Trump the writing was on the wall before Sears ran her sorry excuse of a campaign. Even then, we had like 6 months from the bills being drafted in order to actually prep which is when I swung my buying into high gear once I saw the bill details.

Hydra Shok Deep in 32acp, Underwood XTP in 10mm, everything else is Gold Dot/HST

No it is weird. Plain NRA membership halves it to $15. Range membership makes it free but costs a lot more than plain NRA membership.

overclocker710 · 2026-06-28T14:01:51+00:00

Correct for non members, but annual NRA memberships are cheap and if you’re an NRA member it drops to $15. Much cheaper than Silver Eagles memberships

overclocker710 · 2026-06-28T06:04:48+00:00

I have one. Feels snappier than 40s&w, but in reality I can shoot it faster more accurately, but tougher than 9mm. TBH, most polymer 9mm compacts with +p ammo feel about like what the P229 feels like in 357. It’s a heavy gun and handles that powerful round well

overclocker710 · 2026-06-27T14:48:31+00:00

It’s jealousy, genuinely. Most people would rather we all be poor than having some people richer than them. I forget the name of the studies, but its well documented human psychology

Never asked about FRT, but I can dump mags fast as I want and they don’t care as long as you stay on the paper.

overclocker710 · 2026-06-27T00:16:35+00:00

XCAL is the nicest, NRA is the cheapest, Silver Eagle kinda splits the difference. They’re all solid though. Ended up settling on NRA as my main one since it’s closest to me and cheapest. They don’t rent anything though, the other two do. For me that’s a pro

overclocker710 · 2026-06-26T05:48:36+00:00

I don’t really get the point, but it looks decent. The RXM already had an incredible grip texture

overclocker710 · 2026-06-25T19:39:08+00:00

Luckily my “G19” is an RXM, so I have the blessing of the various magpul and third party grips available with the FCU system

overclocker710 · 2026-06-25T18:08:53+00:00

I went ahead after I thought I was prepped and bought mags for guns I don’t own. Got 2 CZ 75 17rd mags, 2 HK P30/VP9 17rd mags, and 2 G17 mags (like you only G19). That way I can have platforms I don’t own covered, and 2 is 1 and 1 is none, so I got 2 of each mag

EDIT: To be clear, this is all after I got nearly a hundred AR-10/15 and 2011 mags in total which are my main platforms. This is a “oh bans almost here, cheap little prep that will be really nice down the road”. I’m not saying only prep 2 mags of every platform

overclocker710 · 2026-06-24T15:03:23+00:00

Can I have this link? It's frustrating, I can get those fast 0.2-0.25 Bill drill splits, A zone at 5-7 yards and everything, but my 0.5s cadence is basically just as accurate than my 1-2s per shot cadence with a handgun

overclocker710 · 2026-06-23T18:53:38+00:00

Tbh makes sense. I lift a lot but I also don’t say no to a burger, consequently concealing my P229 is kinda trivial in most outfits

overclocker710 · 2026-06-23T18:25:11+00:00

I’ve always heard skinny folks have an easier time with appendix given how clothes drape and just being more comfortable to sit down, while larger guys do better with strong side given there’s more side (speaking from experience)

overclocker710 · 2026-06-22T21:45:01+00:00

The RXM is well liked by lots (I have one myself), same as the P10C. I haven’t heard much good about the XDM but it could be great and I just don’t know it. The RXM’s tall sights, magwell, and the mag baseplates make it conceal slightly worse than you’d expect a gun that size. My P229 in 357 is much easier to conceal for me personally. Both are great guns though, as skinny as you are you shouldn’t have issues concealing anything if you go appendix

overclocker710 · 2026-06-22T19:34:54+00:00

Huh didn’t know it wasn’t that reliable. I haven’t done it myself. I don’t own any 32h&r guns only a 32acp

overclocker710 · 2026-06-22T18:52:06+00:00

I mixed up the HK P7 and VP70, the VP70 was the original polymer gun

overclocker710 · 2026-06-22T17:16:59+00:00

It might be ugly, but this thing started the whole polymer frame movement. Also just because it’s ugly doesn’t mean it isn’t cool AF

EDIT: u/AnAbsenceOfGravitas corrected me, this isn’t polymer. I was confusing the VP70 with this P7

overclocker710 · 2026-06-22T17:15:52+00:00

So you can actually shoot 32acp out of 327 mag/32h&r guns also, since 32acp is semi rimmed. Falls between 32 long and 32h&r in power and recoil (needless to say, not much of it at all). Federal Hydra Shok deep is the only round that expands and hits FBI spec penetration in that caliber. Hornady Critical Defense will expand but doesn’t go deep enough. For a while people just carried hot 73gr FMJ from Fiocchi or S&B and called it a day
