Glock 23 slides

Reply in thread

Sending the factory slide in to get milled actually sounds like a really good idea that I hadn’t put any thought into before. Seems 90% of the slides I’m seeing for sale have all sorts of windows cut into them. Plus since apparently nobody likes .40s anymore the G23 seems to have less compatible parts available.

PSA AR pistol BCG upgrade

Thank you. I’ve switched it over but still haven’t gotten out to the range yet to test its function.

Thanks for your input on the buffer weight I actually don’t know it came with. If it starts having any trouble I’ll definitely look at making an adjustment there.

Beretta APX A1 Carry anecdotes

Reply in thread

I find myself in a similar boat. Having carried daily for about 2 years almost completely getting away from it for a number of years to just in the last few months getting a full size gun cabinet, new concealed carry permit and a firearm I’m confident is using in any scenario I can dream up. Feels like all Americans are likely to be exposed to more violence in the near future. Whether that’s just economic strife forcing people to resort to violence for their needs, politically directed violence or just dangerous people feeling emboldened to act. The last gap I needed to fill was a micro-compact I could carry without my kids constantly seeing a pistol on my body.

I certainly impulse bought this one based on the price and having a mostly positive impression of Berettas.

I had a sig p320 as my first firearm. It was excellent. I haven’t held a p365 yet I’d imagine they shoot and handle great. Aren’t they the ones with multiple alleged random discharges without a trigger pull though? I admittedly haven’t looked into the validity surrounding those complaints.

I’ll add that book to my list. A lot of people on Reddit were recommending Adaptive Rifle by Ben Stoeger as a valuable read too so I’ve got some homework to do.

That sounds like exactly what I was hoping to get out of it. I have a G23 and Ruger SR40c for all the times I can effectively conceal one of them on my person. I was used to carrying a Pico years ago which has a strict capacity of 6+1 in .380 so the small capacity in a 9mm doesn’t put me off too much.

You weren’t kidding about the nano. There’s a clear relation there. I’ve ready a few other reports about the A1 carry hitting low too. The general consensus was the heavy and “gritty” trigger pull was causing an overcompensation in anticipation of the recoil. I’m hopeful a few hundred round of mindful practice can iron that out for me.

Colorado bill restricting sale of certain semiautomatic guns clears first House committee after notable tweaks

I know it feels useless and tedious writing your representatives about why gun ownership rights are important to you but it is a necessary thing to do. Right now these officials are assuming the people who care about gun ownership rights are already not a reachable voting block. Being vocal about this to anyone you are eligible to vote for can help them remember there are votes to be won with that issue.
