High Exposure

That’s a pretty narrow view. I’m not saying this wasn’t negligence, I’m saying it may in fact be accidental. Guns are mechanical. Parts can break or not work as intended. It doesn’t happen often, but guns can go off with no human interaction of the firing controls - ergo - an accidental discharge. I have seen it happen. Heck, there has been a recent “rash” of Sig 320’s that have gone off in holsters with no one touching them. That may be what this is. If so, that’s not negligence.

Same. And this is the real reason I carry an extra mag. The majority of gun malfunctions in a fight can be traced back to mag issues. Having a spare mag is insurance against that. The extra rounds are just a happy bonus.

Awesome! Go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and get a paint pen. (or even order one from Amazon) Also, make sure to use BLUE loctite on the mounting screws. Just a tiny bit, but use it. BLUE only. Do not use red. Ameriglo has a number of different heights. Go to their website and see what you think will work. https://ameriglo.com/products/listing/optic-compatible-sights-for-glock-pistols

Tenicor AIWB JM Custom Kydex for IWB at hip/behind hip carry

Ah. I thought that portion was struck. Damn. Ignore my advice. I leave my gun at home if I know I’m going someplace I have to disarm, and I try really hard to go to those places as infrequently as possible.

I have seen an aftermarket Glock extractor (Apex No Fail extractor) chip from doing this. One option is keeping an empty spare mag that you can top off from. Put one round in the mag, insert the mag with a single round, run the slide, and swap the now empty mag with a full 10 rounder. In any event - chambering the same round over and over is not preferred either as you can run into bullet setback issues as well as the before mentioned failure to extract due to damaged case rim. The real questions is why is it necessary to unload your gun every time you secure it? I take my whole setup with the gun still in the holster and secure it as a package, or I carefully remove my gun from my holster and place it in the my lockbox/safe at home. When I retrieve it, I carefully take hold of the pistol, making sure to not touch the trigger or muzzle any meat, and place the gun in my holster. I would argue that repeatedly loading and unloading a handgun while securing/storing and making ready to carry offers more chance for an ND/AD than carefully moving a loaded handgun from a holster to secure storage and back again.

I carry AIWB when driving (and permitted to). I do not like leaving my gun anywhere that’s not attached to me. In the event I have to leave the vehicle not of my own volition I’d rather not leave gun for someone else. Good thread here with some discussion on this topic:

Very nice!!! Make sure you take off the backplate and look down the hole for the extractor depressor plunger. You need to make sure the mounting screw doesn’t protrude into that channel and cause interference between the MRDS Mounting screw and the plunger. You may need to take a Dremel and shave a millimeter or two from the bottom of the right side mounting screw. ETA: Oh! And put witness marks on the mounting screws.

All jokes aside, my son is 13. We have never been asked that question.

Understood on all counts. and I’m not knocking, Just giving some realistic advice. All of my rifles are “customized” to my wants and desires. Ultimately, if it’s no longer stock, and it isn’t something “rare and desirable” you rarely get your money back out of it when selling unless you find someone with the exact same “vision” as you. It is eapecially difficult to get your money back on something as “soulless” and prolific as an M4 variant that’s been “customized”.

I wish the seller luck, but that’s a lot of $$ for that gun. It also demonstrates the fact that highly customized guns are hard to get your money back on and wants/needs are highly subjective. When you customize a gun like that, your specs and your wishlist of parts, no matter how high the quality, are highly individual and the premium cost that results to try and recoup expenses are not worth it to another buyer - unless they are looking for exactly what you built. Finding that buyer is a rarity.

We need Pics!!!! We’re invested

Well, you can’t have mine!! No worries. I am just impressed with the MM offerings across the board and wanted to add my endorsement to the suggestion. Good luck with the search!

My “Other Firearm” is from Modern Materiel. They make awesome guns, and they do it right here in NJ. You won’t be disappointed.

Believe what? I’m not reading an entire Wiki article to figure out what you find surprising. Not meant to sound dickish (although it does). I’m actually interested in what you find surprising, it just drives me nuts when people post click-baitey stuff like that.

“Obvious” is reading the words you wrote and believing you said what you meant to say. ”Obvious” is not inferring meaning or making corrections to a written statement based on “context”. Like @Mr.Stu said, words have meaning. We should all strive to be precise - especially when talking about a topic that hinges solely on the exact definitions of the words “stock” and “brace”. Using those terms interchangeably and basing the definition of either of them on “context” is how we got here in the first place.

A gift from my son. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

There is no “standard magazine law” for manual action/non-SA Guns. Ten round mag limits only apply to magazines that fit in a semi-auto firearm. 2C:39-1 Definitions: y. "Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm.

Where is this written in NJ statute? I’ve never seen it.

Every bolt-on accessory (optic, light, BUIS. sling mount, grip, etc…) on a firearm should get blue loc-tite and witness marks. Do not use washers unless they are recommended by the manufacturer of the accessory.

He does not. He did my G19, and it’s awesome, but he doesn’t have the time anymore. He is the person that recommended M&M to me and as far as I know, Joe uses M&M himself.

M&M Tactical in Bayville, NJ I haven’t used them personally, but I hear they are top notch.
