You can thank Gov Murphy for that one. It is one of the few guns that is NJ legal. Forgot how much of a joy that Smith Wesson Pro Series 1911 is in 9mm. Stupid reliable too. @kc17 sorry I ruined it for you. Go ahead and join the “American” side and get a 1911. You can balance it out with a CZ75 of some sort.

And thank you @tj462nj and GSSC for being awesome hosts!

Seems like data center was getting hit... we were not targeted in particular. Everything should be back to normal and will have full reason soon.

Was great seeing everyone again!

Datacenter issue in Michigan. Seems to be fine now. Will update if anything changes.

Yes, yes it is. =) Looking forward to it!

Issue with Tremor 3 reticle?

Alex... video goes up at 10:30 AM.

I will probably be there. =) Always good seeing the old timers, @XDJohnTact @CPRPE and others.

Yep... but would be worth reaching out to @tj462nj to clarify your particular situation.

Have not played with the 9mm but @Modern Materiel is a vendor here. Was hoping to get a rifle to review soon.

Second time...

Wow, beautiful. Looks to be in amazing shape.

There is certainly a place for optics in all other guns... heck, past a 100 yards give me an optic any day of the week. What was eye opening, pun intended, was going out to to FTW where we were finding and shooting steel painted various colors at ranges between 200 and 2,500 yards. While folks were generally able to spot steel no problem out to 400 or so, I had a really tough time finding green plates without glasses in particular. So I would gladly take a light magnification optic on a rifle or anything I plan on shooting at past 100 yards... and in either case, you would need far more precision thee with regular sights. So optics solve a problem. With handguns... unless your gun is set up specifically for the dot... i.e. compensator, slight lightening to make the thing run super flat... yes, you do have the dot that helps with those who have vision issues... BUT the price is you are hunting for the dot. Take a look at USPSA open division... there is a reason why most of the shooters still use a C-More on a frame mounted slide. Huge window, less muzzle flip when mounted on frame. The folks who shoot USPSA Open with frame mounted optics are generally not as successful as the frame mounted optics, (until the new Trijicon SRO) generally have much smaller windows and the dot hunting takes quite a bit more time. Granted, the optics are used in Optics Carry division... BUT that is because the whole game is slide mounted optics and gamers gonna game. So for me... I completely understand people wanting to use slide mounted optics and it is certainly the cool thing to do now... but for most people with no vision issues, at standard engagement distances of out to say 25 or 50 yards... I think these are a crutch.

Hehe, in January will bring a caravan. =) Had two shows/conferences in Vegas back to back. in 2020 will definitely go.

And here you go.... Since @remixer does not value good pics. =P One thing also forgot... the major difference here with the grip is the grip angle. The OZ9, while looking like a Glock inside... has a grip angle similar to a 1911... So If you ever wanted a 1911 grip angle on a Glock... this is it.

Well.... Nj can close the boarders and build a wall. This will keep those guns from PA out of TRENTON....

Also what Steve did not include... the gun comes in an Amazing SKB hard case and comes with two extra striker springs, a 2 and 3lb spring. The 4 is already on the gun. This is a really solid gun. The major appeal though is that it is modular and has a full steel slide. Very flat shooting, very soft on recoil too. New grips are $60 if you want to change color and towards end of year will be able to have them in compact size. Best part with the modular frame, take out one pin and swap out frame. Only need to burn 1 pistol permit on it. You can also run any Gen 3 Glock slide on the gun and vice versa. It is approved for USPSA production and optics carry as long as you take off the magwell. very nice trigger, certainly better than every other GUCCI Glock I have tried.

Pics of mine in the gallery. @remixer you have the 10rnd magpul mag model? Do Note... These will not work well with Glock 10 round mags. The factory ten rounders have a thicker body which will make it more difficult to seat. After first round mag may drop. There are no issues with magpul Glock 10 rounders or standard capacity Glock mags. Fix will be out in near future.

The question I would add is... "Do you even need an optic?" Or are you doing it cause all the cool kids are doing this nowadays? There are a number of reasons to mount a dot such as you have poor eye sight and have a tough time to align the sights, or want a quicker way to shoot at distance (i.e. beyond 25 yards). Otherwise, if your eyesight is fine, and you are mostly engaging or shooting at 15 yards or so... it is far more proficient and would likely say faster for most gun owners to use regular sights and work on point-shooting instinctively. By introducing the optics, you are fixing one problem but introducing another... over reliance and searching for the dot. Then, there are always questions as to longevity of the gun with the slide mounted optics. You are adding extra mass which creates its own challenges. This is why for gun games, those who can, generally mount an optic to a mount to a frame. If you are set on getting an optic... then yes, best solution is to have the slide milled so you can mount the optic deeper so you can cowitness the sights. Would really suck if your battery dies and your optic is blocking the pistol sights. This also lowers the added weight. In general I would recommend you shoot a gun with a mounted optic to figure out if it is for you or not. Then figure out whether optics ready platform is necessary. If you are thinking of saving money, then yes, spending money on an optics ready gun will save you money versus buying a gun and then sending it off to get cut. There is no right or wrong, merely options.

My take on it, if it takes a tool to “adjust it” then it is not a collapsible stock. Looks like a cool stock... will have to try one out. Heck, a PRS stock takes less effort to adjust the length of pull and cheek rest.

@njJoniGuy , removed that post. DEFINITELY not cool, particularly in public sections. I know you meant it as a joke but would be very easy to take out of context.

Welcome welcome! Collection of Mosins? Surplus collector? =)

That is just damn impressive. I believe they also broke a record at FTW Ranch and shot over 2 miles there... same caliber/guns iirc. That however I believe is out of reach for most people and most guns. lol.

Um... wasn't there an indoor match in Fort Lee I believe? er Tenafly IIRC. But generally... driving 40 mins to a USPSA match is quite near. =) Especially for OB.
