He didn't give you a price before he did the work?

More so that he didn't ask the price.

Avoid RTSP if you're anywhere near them (Union & Randolph).

I love their ranges & sales but my first gunsmithing experience with them will be the last.

I sent my barrel & brake to be pinned, and after a week what they're still telling me is literally "it's done when it's done".

The funny thing is I did ask them "would it take a week" before I gave them the stuffs, and their answer was "nah, just two days".

They sound annoyed when I called them to check on it after 5 days, then 7 days, and scolded me for not waiting indefinitely without an ETA. It's been a week and they're still unable to tell me when it could be done.

I know it's a tough time, but if they're being overloaded, at least tell me up front so I may decide to go elsewhere if I want to.

Their fee is $75 for pin & weld a muzzle break, FYI.

Similar experience. Had an AR pinned etc and it wasn’t cheap. At the time though they were the only game in town.  Tried getting in touch with Tier 1 Defense a bunch of times but he never responded.  Seems like more smiths are available now vs peak COVID (April) when I had this work done

I think the reason why they responded to me that way was because they thought I was having them making a GUN compliant, which means I have no choice but to wait (i.e. I can't take possession of the gun before it is made compliant), thus the "it's done when it's done" attitude. In another word, they're abusing gun laws.

What he didn't know is that I only sent them a barrel & a brake, and that has nothing to do with compliance. So yes I do have a choice.

I will take them back and bring them to The Heritage Guild of Rahway, or even drive 40 miles for another gunsmith if I have to, as long as I don't take them home with me.

This is a conversation I had with that other gunsmith. It will also take a week, but that's the kind of business we should be dealing with.

Thats insane. Saw Mike @Tier1 defense the other week for pin/weld appointment. Done on the spot. In and out in 15 mins. $50.

go to www.tieronedefense.com and make an appointment thru his website.  He only answers calls when he is at the shop and he seems to have very limited hours.

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
