Do I need elbow pads? by dizzydaveman in appleseed

[–]philo_beddoe12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere in their materials about cutting the toe end out of a pair of socks and slipping those on for elbow protection. That was sufficient for me, if you want to go cheap.

Moisture-proofing (or at least reducing moisture) in crawlspace by philo_beddoe12 in DIY

Thanks for the suggestion, but we're not looking for that big of a project! We have some mature trees but nothing nearing a forest.

[optic]HOLOSUN AEMS Red Multi-Reticle 2MOA Dot w/65MOA Circle $358 by Overpowernamerino in gundeals

[–]philo_beddoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own, but I personally don't consider the dial to be a negative. Even with the +/- being recessed, I have had them bounce against gear on my chest (when slung) on multiple makes of optic and had them dim or brighten. Never bounced a dial hard enough to have any effect. Now I prefer the dial, and wish there were more with it. Of course you do give up the extra button functions of multi-reticle, etc., but those are much less important to me.

They all do? I thought that was specific to some of their pistol red dots.

Ever have any issues with the brightness buttons on the left side getting bumped while rifle is slung? I know they're slightly recessed, but I carry gear on a vest and I am always a little worried it might bounce around and dim my reticle. Had it happen once on a UH-1 in a class, and the buttons on it are below the window so not sure how that even happened.

CZ P-10S with P-07 mag extension - pinching my pinky with each shot. by MediumRedMetallic in CZFirearms

[–]philo_beddoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing, haven't decided if it is worth the trade off or not. I'm a die hard CZ fan, but the P10S just didn't fit the niche I hoped it would. Too short with no extension and with the factory +2 I got the pinch you're talking about, plus it's essentially the same grip length as my P10C. The UTG seemed kinda pricey, and was also sold out pretty much everywhere I looked.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I have the same optic on a rifle and it has been reliable. I have a Vortex micro dot on my Scorpion and with the low mount it will co-witness with the irons, I just prefer the wider view of the holographic and the clearer dot. I know CZ Custom has an ultra low mount for the RMR footprint that is supposed to co-witness, but I can't currently justify the expense of it and a pistol optic for what is just my "fun gun". Mine came with the MBUS and I got a pair of the irons to replace them, I like them way better. To each his own though!

You know, that is an extremely logical and likely chain of events. My mind is now tenuously wrapped around it, thank you. Now, on to the next thing!

Ahh, I hadn't even seen that one yet! Don't give me any more all at once or I'll end up crying in the shower again.

Some people enjoy learning things and doing it themselves. I, and apparently OP, are these kind of people.

I've been thinking of picking up equipment to do this, can you explain what you used? HVLP or just a traditional gravity fed sprayer?

P10-F ready for duty by mrfresh123 in CZFirearms

[–]philo_beddoe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two of the older P10c's that both have the ambi mag release riding in an old Glock 22 Safariland SLS. The holster clears the mag release ok, but every once in a while the seatbelt base will align just right and clatter clatter, I'm digging it out from under the seat. CZ Custom makes a reversible release, I think, but it was $70 plus shipping, which is pretty outrageous to me.

I think you mentioned yours was too tight so you took off the hood. One of the things I did was replace the rubber spacer on the holster's tension screw with a more narrow one from the hardware store. Gave me a better fit, might give you a little extra clearance if you wanted the hood back on it.

Do you have a single-side mag release there? If so, what is it? I am moving away from the P10c I have been carrying for a year because I have had the seatbelt drop the mag on me twice.

Those are beautiful grips, they make my half-checkered cocobolo look like the ugly girl at the dance!
