@swatfirearms but he doesn't post much.

How many guns in your CCW rotation do you have?
At home and on my property... as well as when I'm in a state that accepts one of my non-resident out of state permits.

Kel Tec
Is this your first and only gun? My ex-coworker friend was completely inexperienced with guns, and through his internet research, he came up with the idea that the KSG would be perfect for home defense... I disabused him of that notion extremely quick when he actually held and shot one. It's heavy, it's not easy to manipulate without practice/experience, and it's got heavy recoil. This was with him shooting light target rounds.

Crossbreed's New "Reckoning" Holster System
I used to say, “I can’t appendix carry because I have a gut.” After believing this for a few years, and from living in a state where it’s nearly impossible to get a Concealed Carry Permit, I was almost fixated on “small of back” carry. On the few occasions when I could carry (out of state), I always carried in the 4:00 or 5:00 position, primarily for comfort reasons. I recently spoke to several other “heftier” gun owners (including a good friend who calls himself the “largest pound for pound firearms instructor in America”) and I received some recommendations on holsters and how to manage, particularly when you’ve got a beer gut rather than a 6 pack. After watching a few videos and testing with some of the holsters I already own, I came upon the Crossbreed Holsters Reckoning holster system. Crossbreed has always had a great reputation with their SuperTuck IWB holsters, but those always seemed on the large side for an IWB holster. The Reckoning holster seemed like a good compromise between size, comfort and conceal-ability. As I had recently picked up a new Glock 48, I figured I might as well try a new holster. I obtained the Reckoning holster system, along with the Accomplice mag carrier. The Glock fits in it perfectly, and the retention is great. The Reckoning holster is adjustable by tightening or loosening screws. After fitting it, I checked the Accomplice mag holder. Unfortunately, the mag holder is really set to hold a double-stack magazine, and while it’s adjustable, there are rubber spacers on the screws to keep it in shape, and I did not feel comfortable with removing them. I removed the Accomplice mag carrier instead. Left – Glock 48 Magazine Right – Glock 19 Magazine I adjusted the belt clips so that the holster rides lower on my body – this is a key factor for those of us with a bit of a belly. This way, the holster is comfortable when standing, and does not dig into you when you are sitting down. When wearing an undershirt, the holster fits nicely in the appendix position, and does not dig in. It conceals nicely without printing. Appendix Carry Carrying at the 4:00 position, you do need to be slightly more aware, as the magwell of my Glock tended to print ever so slightly. It may not be as prevalent with smaller guns, but the G48 is more of a compact size frame (albeit slim). 4:00 Carry Even if the magazines did fit properly in the Accomplice mag carrier, I do not think I would use it in either position – it adds too much to the size and footprint. If I were to carry more at the 5:00 or 6:00 position, it may be something I might look into, however, it’s still not really an optimal location to carry a magazine for how I practice carrying. After some adjustments and testing, I believe I may start actually carrying my G48 in the appendix position with the Crossbreed Reckoning holster. It’s more comfortable than I expected and I like the dual clip system. A single clip holster may be easier to use, but they do not fit me well and dig into my beer belly. After trying several different pairs of pants/shorts, the dual clip system did not interfere with my wardrobe at all. In conclusion, the Crossbreed Reckoning holster is an excellent choice and definitely lives up to the Crossbreed name.

Beretta M9 to .22 conversion
Ran through a couple hundred rounds. CCI Mini Mags (40gr RN and 38gr HP) ran spectacularly. Aguila SuperExtra High Velocity - no issues. Aguila SuperExtra Subsonic actually cycled for the most part. Slide wouldn't lock back but it cycled just fine. CCI Quiet - nope. FTE several times. I wasn't expecting it to work. If the Aguila SuperExtra subsonic ran through with no issues, then it definitely looks like regular bulk .22LR will work. Best part is that if you get a light strike or hangfire, since it's DA/SA, you can just pull the trigger again. No light strikes with the CCI Mini Mags or the SuperExtra HV. On the SuperExtra Subsonic, I got a couple of light strikes but just DA pulled through them. Very happy with this conversion.

Oh gawd no - you're turning into one of those Bullseye FUDDS!! Lol. These are the guys at SCFGPA that constantly sweep the ceiling and pop rounds off into it...

Bcm complete uppers
Really depends on what your intended use is for. Quick accuracy up to 100 (maybe 200) yards? Red dot. If you want the ability to reach out further and speed isn't as big a deal, then LVPO. RDS are also a lot lighter.

Beretta M9 to .22 conversion
Mine came in today. Not bad looking if I have to say so myself. Open up the box... Packed nicely. Comes with 1 mag, barrel, recoil spring and slide had some heavy grease on it. Red thing is a chamber flag. Also comes with a replacement front sight. Yes, it's made by Umarex Slide is significantly lighter than the M9A3 slide. De-greased it, oiled it up, and looks really nice.

Gun company agrees to pay N.J. $50,000 after illegally selling large magazines
Yep - paying lip service saying they're fighting for gun control, when it just screws over small business and private ownership.

Sigh. Murphy went after the small fry... New Frontier Armory is a small company out of Vegas... they make a good product (took over Extar for their EXP-556 and others).

They've grown exponentially in the past few years. Good for them.

Bcm complete uppers
Nice. BCM completed uppers are so pricey though. I got one with the muzzle brake/bcg deal a few years ago, and that was the only thing that made the cost considerable. After assembling an upper from parts, I gotta say - it's not that hard (with the proper tools).

WESHOOT Fees
From what I understand, there's different business partners now. They transitioned from GSSC to WeShoot back in May. However, I would contact them - they've been a longtime supporter of NJGF. They may still have NJGF Forum Member discounts. They're one of 3 different retailers that are getting the NJGF PSA Lowers.

So it's renewed as a NON Real-ID DL? Dangit... they actually screwed up on my RealID and misspelled my middle name. I didn't notice it until too late. Gotta get it redone.
