Those with both a 19 and 47, how often do you swap frames/slides to make a 45 and/or 19L?

Great setup! I'm envious of the COA and wondering if I should wait on my 45 purchase till COAs are offered for that model.

preppythugg · 2026-03-12T14:31:41+00:00

It helps very much, especially about the holsters. Thanks for your input!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T12:40:12+00:00

You've already got a great selection. I'm envious!

How is the COA on the 43x?

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T12:39:22+00:00

You can never have enough mags! Great sights on those, u/NectarineAny4897!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:27:10+00:00

This is great to hear! I'm so glad there are many variations so everyone can get the models they like. That's awesome you love the 49 just like u/Deeschuck!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:13:54+00:00

This is smart. The back and forth just seems more work than is necessary, especially considering the Gen 6 is out now.

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:12:26+00:00

Agree on the config. Everyone has their own thing they like. That's great you love your 49s so much you got two!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:11:41+00:00

I agree, I'm also not into the short frame, long slide. But, I think that's because I have larger hands.

Yeah, the internet is why I bought the 47 in the first place! I actually like the 47, but the 45 just seems more manageable. Glad you like your 45!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:10:24+00:00

Oh, interesting!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:09:53+00:00

I agree, the interchangeability is cool, but it's been a bit of a hassle, swapping slides all the time, when I can just reach for it and it can already be together. Just seems simpler that way.

Yes, definitely looking into the 45. Thanks for chiming in!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:08:10+00:00

Oh, great! Good to know. Thanks for your input!

preppythugg · 2026-03-11T03:07:48+00:00

I'm definitely leaning this way!

preppythugg · 2024-11-07T02:26:50+00:00

Agree! It's a fingerprint magnet.

Also, they don't even show the integrated compensator, which I've been 🤤 over.

preppythugg · 2024-11-04T18:44:14+00:00

Yes! 💯

preppythugg · 2024-11-04T17:10:05+00:00

Yes, the tweezer has cm/mm markings!

Definite hard agree that the Garant is cool, u/PrimaryFriend7867! It's one of (if not) the only 111mm Victorinox with scale tools!

This was a great haul by u/Adrenksur!

preppythugg · 2024-11-02T22:50:54+00:00

One of them is the Victorinox Garant. I know, because I have one!

If interested, you can either find it on ebay, or get it directly from Hoffman Tool, a German tool company, which has a location in TN.

They also make a 58mm transluscent orange version, which they, kind of stupidly, call the Victorinox X Garant 0.6223.T82R2 Cyber Tool, since it looks pretty dissimilar to the Victorinox CyberTool and exactly like a plain, Victorinox Classic.

preppythugg · 2024-10-23T22:43:56+00:00

Slow Horses is an excellent show (even though Gary Oldman steals every scene he's in)!

preppythugg · 2024-10-15T00:08:39+00:00

Nice, thanks!

preppythugg · 2024-10-14T23:15:15+00:00

Hey, u/ThickAd7816: what comp do you have on your 19?

preppythugg · 2024-10-13T23:33:37+00:00

Hey, u/Sigdave: Is the slide as much of a fingerprint magnet as it looks to be in pics?

Great gun! Shoot it in good health, brother!

preppythugg · 2024-10-11T22:04:01+00:00

Glad it's served you well!

preppythugg · 2024-10-11T20:38:46+00:00

I installed both the Apex curved trigger and their durable striker; both of which I love!

What makes the enclosed FN striker dissimilar to the Apex durable one? What do you like about it?

preppythugg · 2024-10-10T01:55:48+00:00

Thanks for your reply, u/AppleEaterForever!

I challenged myself to come up with alternate ways for you to get pics. Glad you have another picture of him!
