Sig P365 XL
This is Sig’s answer to the Glock 43X and 48. And I believe that there are currently 15 round flush fit mags for the G43X/G48. I think @PK90 posted about them in another thread.

Game of Thrones
What makes you think honorable character and being a righteous ruler have anything to do with the plot of this series? Ned Stark was arguable the most honorable man in the show and was portrayed as being the best possible choice for king out of anyone in the whole series. And they lopped his head off on the 9th episode. This wasn’t a story about people, their lineage, or their character. This was a story about a kingdom.

Game of Thrones
Everyone needs to take a breath and realize that: John was not the main character Dany was not the main character Cersei, Jamie, Tyrion, Sansa, Arya, whomever - they are not the main characters of the story. The main character is Westeros. Look back at the entirety of the show with the Realm of the Seven Kingdoms as the main character of the story and you’ll get a different perspective on everything. Overall, I liked it. Little things bothered me, but I understand why they made some of the choices they did. I am pleased.

questions........
Not everyone uses their rifles in the same way or for the same reasons. Flat absolute statements of “good enough” may not be for some folks. Just because you don’t have the need to take a shot at 200 or longer doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t. We need to stop assuming everyone has the same frame of reference. The truth is a 50 yard zero does not always equal a 200 yard zero and if you are looking for the ability to make a 200 yard precision shot, which is something the AR platform is completely capable of, you need to confirm at distance.
-
questions........
It’s not if you don’t confirm your zero at distances you are likely to engage a target at. It can be off quite a bit. If your using your rifle in a defensive role as life saving equipment and take a 200 yard shot thinking “your good” because you are dead-nuts-on at 50 yards, you are fucked up.
-
questions........
Only if you confirm your zero at 200. Lots of little variables can make this not true.

Building a... (gulp!) Glock
Looking good! Bring your standard mag release and the tools you’d need to swap the mag release out when you go to the range. Those extended paddles have a tendency to drop mags while shooting for some people. The paddle extends to right where you want your hand to be to grip the pistol best. I have little hands and like the paddle so I can reach the release without shifting my whole grip, but had to go back to a Vickers release (extended but no paddle) because I constantly dropped mags while shooting with the paddle.

Recommend red dot for a hand gun
Personally, my “A” answer is the Trijicon RMRO6 Gen 2. Proven reliable and long battery life, many mounting options, and lots of holster choices. The new Trijicon SRO looks promising and the Aimpoint ACRO looks to be a viable candidate even if it looks like a toaster. But they are relatively new and I am not a fan of being an early adopter or a free beta-tester. They are the ones to watch though. I think they will be the standard in a few years. The Delta Point Pro has good reviews in the competition circles, but I don’t know many people that put them on social guns. I don’t have any time on the Holosun 507c but I haven’t heard anything bad about it. I know a couple people swear by them. Having the same mounting footprint as the Trijicon RMR is a huge plus. Plus it fits into any of the holsters that the RMR will fit in.

Look at the ALS only 6354DO holster. Secure retention, automatically locks in, security release adds absolutely zero time to the draw.

Building a... (gulp!) Glock
No need to apologize. I have a Roland Special Clone with a KKM Barrel and Comp. Fits perfectly in my Safariland ALS holster for a Glock 34. These 3 pistols all fit in the same Safariland 6360RDS and 6354DO NSW holsters: G35 with iron sights and X300U G34 with RMR and TLR-1 G19 with RMR, KKM Comp, and X300U

Scorpion Evo Micro
What MRO mount is that and do the irons co-witness through the optic?

Scorpion Evo Micro
I want a set of those iron sights. Can’t find them anywhere. By all accounts, they are a decent little carbine. I’d love to get my hands on one.

1.93 Optic Mounts
Yeah. There is a definitely a different compensation factor you need to account for inside 25 yards. It’s not hard to learn, but it’s there.

The New Improved Glock 19X - The Glock 45
I prefer a milled slide to the MOS. The milled slides sink the RDS lower than the MOS Glocks as there is no need for a mounting plate. The RDS is direct attach to the slide, as the slide is mulled to the specific model of MRDS you want.

1.93 Optic Mounts
The taller LPVO mounts are the way to go - I prefer the 1.93” for LPVO. I find it does a better job at every position, from prone to standing and everything in between - including non-traditional shooting positions. The new over 2” mounts are starting to grab attention with folks that spend a lot of time with NODS behind the optics. Personally, I find the over 2” a little too high as they require a chin weld vs a cheek weld, but YMMV. I still prefer the lower 1/3 (~1.5”) mounts for RDS.

Training Vs Practice
That’s true, they do primarily focus on LE and Mil courses - especially in N.J. due to our firearms laws. Look at surrounding states for more open enrollment class opportunities. If you get a chance to train with them, jump on it.

Training Vs Practice
I’ve taken a few Northern Red Classes. They are intense. The physical skills they teach are excellent, but the best part of their classes are the lectures - nothing short of astounding. Their “Why we fight” lecture alone is worth the price of the class entire class. This is a great short “pep talk” by Zach on Training vs. Practice. Don’t get sucked into the images in the video. Think about the bigger picture and listen to the words - this isn’t just about CQB training, but can be applied to anything you want to learn, firearm related or not. • Practice makes permanent, not perfect. • Practice =/= Training and vice-versa. But they both have a significant impact in improving individual skill.

Spend the money on magazines and ammo and shoot the shit out of it. Take a class - Sights & Trigger is conducting a 1 day CCW class in Bethlehem PA next weekend. The best accessory for any handgun is a software upgrade.
