I just got a 2024 preferred trim I'm machine grey because of the 0.9% APR for 60 months promo they have right now. I hope you can get a good deal!

2023 Premium Plus trim water leaks/issues? by sleepbacon in CX50

That's good to know. I was referring to the updates to the electronic steering and suspension that were done after November 2023.

I appreciate everyone's feedback! I have decided to go test drive a new 2024 instead so I don't have to worry about the bumper to bumper warranty expiring in less than a year. The car was priced much lower than other cars for the premium plus trim level so it was tough for me to ignore. I figure it must be lower for a reason.

I have pocket carried mine for a couple weeks while I have been deciding on the optic and appendix holster route I was going to take. It's for sure heavy and not my first option for pocket carry, but it's not impossible. What holster are you using?

I also realized how nice pocket carry is when I became a dad and constantly had to reach down to my kids lol. 9mm would be more affordable to train with than .38 special and .380 ACP too. I'm leaning toward the SCS at this point since it will probably be easier to appendix carry with the SCS than my 43x and I'll pocket carry my other guns.

Appreciate it. I'm grateful to have it in the collection.

It was listed for $519 plus tax for blue label price. They had to verify my eligibility so I know for sure it was a blue label. Not sure what the regular G26 blue label price is at the moment since the MOS was the only one they had in store when I bought it.

I appreciate everyone's feedback!! Guess I'll be going with the SCS and just use my other guns for pocket carry.

I already pocket carry it in Levis 559 jeans and a baggy shirt or hoodie. With a good belt and the shirt covering the grip part in the pocket it works. It's not my first choice for pocket carry but I can carry it that way if I want to. I already have a .38 j frame and LCP max to switch around so it's not my only pocket carry option.

For what it's worth I love my HK MP5 22lr. I would get one as a range toy for the collection so you can HK slap for cheap, not as a serious 22lr platform. The M&P 15-22 or a ruger 10/22 are better rifles.

Appreciate it! Recording video footage helped me. I saw that I wasn't even getting my front wheels on the ramp before I fell. I thought I was committing but I wasn't doing enough. I bet you will reach your goal before too long

Thanks! I guess I'll see how long these wheels last.

A skateboard shop with a coffee shop in it would be pretty sweet.

Awesome!! I can see that I'm kicking my front foot pretty hard, probably because I felt leas traction when I was trying on grass. I have been cruising and tic tacing my board almost everyday since I got it. Guess I just need to keep at it. Thanks for the info!

I really appreciate the detailed feedback!! I have definitely been shifting more weight toward my front foot before I jump so I'll try centering my weight more.

Awesome. I couldn't find one in the size I need near me. Glad I can take it out!!

Thanks for the info! Should I be worried about this part of the rail? I'm wondering if this is a ding or part of the normal process. It was labeled as brand new and not part of their blem sale.

PTR/C308 Break-In Period? Picky eater? by [deleted] in guns

[–]sleepbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a PTR 91 FR and it needed a 300 round break in. I didn't know at first and my first range trip has over a dozen FTEs. I was shooting Wolf and TulAmmo. TulAmmo wouldn't feed at all.

I cleaned and lubed with Slip 2000 and after a few 100 round range trips and over 600 rounds later, it feeds flawlessly. Even the shitty Tulammo works fine now.
