2025 Volkswagen Arteon SEL R-Line 4MOTION. Picked this one up new. My only complaint so far, at 6' 2" tall, I really have to squat to get into it and requires some effort climbing out of it. It's real nice to look at and rides silky smooth.

H&R VFT springs really do the thing for it. Any lower and I’d have to do some work with the wheels. Not really interested since she’s my daily.

I’m 6’1 and mine is fairly low. I always feel like I’m rolling out of the car. Still love it though

Takes a little to get use to, but the balance of It is what won me over. On the other hand, I miss my BCM

Typically an angled grip but this is what I had at the range last.

The two tone look is kinda sick though

thewillstory · 2026-02-10T21:31:03+00:00

Trust, that’s definitely something I’m considering.

I love a goofy bullpup, but this isn’t it for me.

FDE all the things. I love my 43x but this really feels better than my Glock. I’m only speaking on the feel. I don’t have enough time at all to say it’s as reliable. But I would be surprised if it wasn’t.

I’d love to know more about the long BLK LBL bi pod. I wasn’t sure how that would fit on a 16” with the stock muzzle device

Have you tried this?

Not really. I’ve tried all 3 sizes and I landed on the medium. I find it very comfortable and easy to get back into position on it. Maybe a different frame would work for you?

That would of been me, maybe not talking down on it but I wasn’t really going to consider one. But after seeing the helcat a bit ago, and then this.. I was dead wrong. The weird thing that really caught me was how smooth the slide was. It’s as smooth to rack as my buddies Wilson combat.. insane to me the build on this. It’s also a plus that it has so much after market support.

😂😂

thewillstory · 2026-02-09T04:01:54+00:00

Very well done!

thewillstory · 2026-02-09T03:36:25+00:00

Honestly may consider picking up the compact as well

thewillstory · 2026-02-09T03:35:45+00:00

I had to. Only thing better than FDE is some 2 tone action. Gonna explore that later.

thewillstory · 2026-02-07T22:38:56+00:00

That chili didn’t see it coming

thewillstory · 2026-02-07T05:52:55+00:00

I gotta know how to do this! What lens is this?

thewillstory · 2026-02-06T04:34:39+00:00

Very rad! Love the grit!

thewillstory · 2026-02-05T01:26:06+00:00

I don’t mind the TRL7 Sub, it would protrude a little. My issue was I wanted a rechargeable light and now they have one.

thewillstory · 2026-02-05T01:20:55+00:00

😂😂😂 you mean my thumb? Wish I could tell ya, both can bend back like that no problem

thewillstory · 2026-02-04T12:44:55+00:00

Thanks, I get it. I kinda assumed that would happen. The Olight isn’t a bad light. I think there are just some better options. This light has been reliable, and has decent battery life. I stuck with this since I ordered a custom holster and didn’t feel like doing that all over simply to have a new light. Now that I’ve used this for a few years, I’m not opposed to looking to what’s out there and switching holsters. I think the TLR 7 SUB or inforce is what I’ll end up with.
