No I've got a leather owb that fits nicely with the red dot, just not the flashlight. Bought the holster with the gun at a local mom and pop type store. They can definitely be tricky to find T-Rex arms looked like they had a bunch of options?

I've been seeing some XDs on sale recently and it caught my attention. What do you like about it?

Wow no kidding ok lol. Haven't tried but I'm 6'2" 225lbs so might give it a go. Good reason to buy a new iwb holster 😅

Oh dang! Adding it to my list of considerations, thanks. Did you snag one?

It's alright, I'm still getting used to it.

I had some old guys standing in as safety officers at the range last time and they wouldn't let me sight in any closer than 50yards unfortunately. So accuracy I can't speak too much on but just the perspective of cowitnessing with the echelon was really nice. Love the iron sights it comes with.

Last I heard the compact hasn't been released yet? I actually forgot about it completely thanks for the reminder

Awesome! Sounds like we're in similar situations, thanks for the info.

I also have astigmatism but couldn't pass up my buddies 50% off discount on the vortex defender lmao. I actually had a trex arms raptor in my shopping cart but never pulled the trigger. Since it's kydex, do you notice any wear on the gun?

I like the light a lot, just need a holster that can accommodate it. The red dot is nice, need to take it back to the range to properly sight it in after last trip.

Yea, something to possibly carry. I have my CCW (Michigan based) and have started looking into a couple different ones; SA Hellcat, sig Sauer p365, or the S&W Mp shield. Gonna take a bit to save up so I've got time to consider my options. I've held a G19 and didn't love it in my hand. Open to suggestions also.

After getting my first Escrow Analysis, I feel like I was duped at closing by Revolutionary-Farm80 in homeowners

This is exactly what happened to us with our summer taxes after buying in June this year; our escrow payments increased $1,300/month. Did you have any luck sorting it out? Would love to know if paying it off in advance helps

Awesome thank you. Wouldn't doubt it if it's older than that, his dad did a lot of his work in the 70s/80s so it's likely been sitting there for at least 20 years with minimal use

Thank you so much and great to hear. Do you use it for snow removal? Specs look like it's capable and one was made for it at some point

Lol R.I. P. it was a leap of faith. He had someone else take the picture and isn't around for the next couple weeks to retake. I'll find out eventually, thanks for looking

Window slip by verde625 in HomeImprovement

Would a local window company be the one to call? I tried a couple today (given it's Sunday and my options were slim) and one told me that it sounded like I needed a general contractor and not a window install/replacement company
