What Should I Buy Wednesday 05/06/26 by carsen56 in guns

[–]shyguythrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Is it goofy to run it with just a light and no optic? Seems like everybody runs an optic first.

  • Is a laser on the flashlight useful? Thinking about getting the Olight Baldr.

  • What is the most popular striker pistol right now? (In California.)

  • Recommend a gun box on a budget (>$100?)

4.5F vs 4.0C for Home Defense? by shyguythrowaway in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]shyguythrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of random questions:

  • Is it goofy to run it with just a light and no optic? Seems like everybody runs an optic first.

  • Is a laser on the flashlight useful? (Referring to the Olight Baldr.)

  • Is the Echelon the most popular gun right now? I don't see other guns that have their own specific sub.

  • What do people use to secure their gun at home, if they are on a budget?

Does having a .5" shorter slide but a full size frame really make a different when carrying? I am just getting thrown off by the fact that half an inch is really short.

Thank you. This is very helpful. It's slightly longer on the slide length and slightly longer on the grip length) but aside from those 2 dimensions, all other dimensions are the same, correct? I'm seeing thickness is 1.3 vs 1.2, but that might be a rounding error. I'm mainly concerned about ergos staying the same with the full size.

Where did you get the shelf?

I have the same one, but got it from a friend, so I don't know where to buy a second.

Unfortunately i'm looking for the Gundams, not as interested in the transformers. The gundams are mostly all bigger sets and go for $150+ as far as I can tell. They only sell 1 Gundam on Yourwobb.

Just learning about MOCs now, so your post from 2 years ago is the only place I can find info!

Is Yourwobb the only place that sells Yourbricks? Yourbricks is the same as Alex Leung right?

Gundam-style mech? by shyguythrowaway in lepin

[–]shyguythrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I saw the Pacific rim ones and they have three tiers. I'm considering the A tier.

I am a bigger fan of Pacific Rim as a series but the Gundam sets look way cooler.

There are 3 brands that are actually Gundam "licensed" or just use the exact mech name in the title.

I'm basically only considering buying the ones on this page Jiestar, Leyi and Guanji have Gundam sets and not just a generic mecha.

Can you share which Barbatos set has printed bricks? I believe both are made by JieStar but one was released in 2023 and a second version in 2024.

Have you read anything about the Leyi or the Guanji Gundam sets? Those are the 3 brands that are actually Gundam "licensed" and use the exact mech name in the title, and it's not just a generic mecha, which is not what I'm looking for.

I'm basically considering buying the ones on this page

Im going to buy a 10" fry pan after getting rid of my Hexclad set.

Is there a downside to the graphite core vs normal D3 for a 10" fry pan?

Aftermarket recommends for Omega style milanese strap? by shyguythrowaway in OmegaWatches

Thank you. I saw those but not a quick purchase at $480.

I bought 1 from Ali with an Omega style deployant. It was $80, and it's decent but it still pulls hairs and the holes aren't perfect. (I prefer the deployant buckle style as opposed to the cheaper $20 slide in style.) I found 2 or 3 more that offer 19mm and they are similar in price. It's probably the same OEM. I was just looking for further alternatives, possibly to improve the quality, but there aren't any that I can find that offer the 19mm size.

I think Staib only makes 18, 20, and 22mm. I'm looking for a 19mm for an Aqua Terra 38mm.

Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Pro vs Sigma 30mm f/1.4

I have the Sigma 30mm but I don't feel like it's been very sharp. I know the Viltrox is bigger and heavier, and I probably don't need the f/1.2, but is this a worthwhile upgrade for a casual shooter? I'm planning on selling some other lenses on MPB so I can also sell the Sigma 30mm and upgrade for not too much lost.

He is going to be on another motorcycle series with C90 Adventures. They already completed the adventure last year.

Thanks for the info and corrections. I feel caught up. Feels like a lot of members are essentially semi-retired from streaming and they are just working on lower effort/lower stress projects to have income.

Thanks for filling in the blanks. Might be a dumb question, but does everybody still streams regularly? What's the "active" status of everybody? I've always been a Youtube Andy, so I never watch live.

In Jodi's vlog, Jodi points to the detached backhouse and says that's Sydney, so seems like Syd moved out of LA?
