Bring him some Warsteiner

Can I have it? I’ll give you a dollar.

Making changes to an existing product that mirror demand from the consumers is a marketing ploy? I always thought that was good CS and plain good business..... Not just aesthetic changes. They are functional and ergonomic. The front slide serrations are functional, especially with an RMR. The front cutout was uncomfortable and unnecessary. It changed the way you gripped the pistol.

Yes. The 19x was the entry into the new service pistol competition for the military. One of the requirements was the notch for stripping stuck mags. The Gen 5 was a civilian version of the M series pistols developed for the FBI solicitation. The Gen 5 is progression from those two processes. The military and FBI procurement processes are over, and Glock can now change it up for the civilian market and their needs.

I disagree Ray. This model has the improvements that have been most requested by end users of the G19X. It is in fact exactly the gun a lot of Glock shooters asked for and wanted. Personally, I waited on the 19X because I wanted certain changes and had heard that Glock was receptive to some of the complaints out there regarding the 19X. The new G45 addresses my desires in spades. It is the perfect host Glock for a comped barrel and slide milled for an RMR.

I know, I know. It is confusing. The Glock 45 is chambered in 9mm, has a full size frame and a compact slide like the 19X. It looks like they listened to user feedback regarding the G19X and added front serrations and removed the mag cutout on the grip adding the Gen 5 magwell flare. I want one of these desperately. I @blksheep does too. Maybe we can get a group discount

In addition to being just as distracting to the user as the target, the biggest downside to strobes is they mask subtle movement - such as hands inching closer to a hidden weapon, or body posturing to indicate a fight response. That can be seriousy bad JuJu when you need to watch the hands and discern body language. Strobes may have a niche role in handheld light applications but do not belong on a dedicated weaponlight. Operating a weaponlight should be simple and intuitive and the switches should be easy to operate and require little to no change in your grip to use. All you should have to think about is light on and light off. If you are messing with other functions of the light such as strobe functions, beam focus, or alternate brightness settings, or if you are changing hand position to be able to active the lights “switchology” you are taking away both cognitive and procedural ability that you will need to successfully end the confrontation - even if you never have to fire a shot.

Depends I guess. For me, yes, they are. They hold just enough ammo (about 250 rounds of 9mm or .40 ammo) to complete a comp, or run through a few drills at the range. They make taking two calibers of ammo to the range in one can/bag/box easy as two of them fit perfectly into one of those small Harbor Freight plastic ammo cans.

Yeah. They are missing from Amazon as well. I was trying to get a couple more Bang Boxes and some patches, but no luck...

I will be in CT for the weekend. I may make it on the way home. Still working out the details.

Joe is the fucking man. Just sayin’

Lol

Yessir! Wonder Twin powers activate!

Paul, their name and address is on the receiver built to their specs and they now have a manufacturing license to include machine guns. With the exception of maybe FN, every manufacturer out there sources spec’d parts and assembles. BLUF: I am biased as I’m pretty close with those guys and may have had just a teeny-tiny bit of input on the Modern Materiel Patrol line. Their rifles are pretty fucking good in my opinion. Soft shooting and very reliable in the two years I have been using them. It’s the rifle I regularly grab first when going to the range. I shot this group with the above rifle. 50 yards, prone off the magazine. Federal TRU 64gr soft nose.: It is my favorite rifle to shoot and I try to get as many people as I can to get their hands on this rifle. As soon as they start shooting I get what I call “the look”. It’s always the same. They turn and look at me, their eyes get wide and their eyebrows go up. I nod and smile at them saying “yup. I told you.” Then there are many smiles, much trigger pulling, and there was much rejoicing! Over the two years I have been involved with MM and the development of the Patrol series, there has been a lot of trial and error and vetting of parts. We settled on the Ballistic Advantage 14.5” mienghr QPQ barrels early on and have been very pleased with their accuracy. All quality parts selected like Magpul furniture, ALG ACT trigger, Strike hand stop, Streamlight scout light and Holosun optic. We loved from a keymod to an MLOK free float tube. The goal was to build quality at a value price and I think we nailed it. Currently a there are a couple of PDs in N.J. running our gun and quite a few officers who purchased these guns with their own money to use on duty. The fact that they are built right here in Jersey is just the icing on the cake!

Have fun everyone.

Yeah, I’m with ya. I didn’t pay $185

Everyone carries breaching rounds for the breaching shotguns. The “Breacher Bar” is really just a really burly knife (Strider MFS) that is great for pooping screen doors, windows, and interior doors.

I find myself using the thigh rig less and less. The low-ride Safariland UBL with a legstrap and QLS mounting plate is quickly becoming my preferred whenever I am not in armor. And sometimes even in armor. If I could find another place for my breaching bar (BFK), NFDD, and shot breaching rounds, I would shitcan the thigh rig altogether. I just picked up an S&S Precision Holster Extender: https://www.sandsprecision.com/holster-extender-grt.html It lets you go from a High to a Mid to a Low-ride setup with literally the touch of a button. I’m curious to see how it shakes out for me.

You have dropped/lowered holsters and you have thigh rigs. Two different beasts. Dropped/lowered holsters are attached directly to the belt with a shank and do not move with your leg. Thigh holsters are attached to a plate on your thigh and move as your leg moves. They both have pluses and minuses and you have to select what best fits your needs. My war belt has a thigh holster. I wear it as high as I can, but I need the extra drop to clear my armor. I also like the thigh plate itself because it enables me to mount some job specific tools to it where my string hand can easily reach them. My duty belt has a mid ride holster. It’s low enough to allow my muzzle to clear the holster faster, but not so low as to make sitting uncomfortable. My training/Comp/minimal rig has a lowride Safariland UBL. It’s in the middle of the thigh and the duty rig. It offers me the best balance of speed and comfort.

Depends on what you get, it’s really no less-breathable than a leather belt. The downsides are bigger, heavier, and it’s overt. It has a time and place - when you need to carry a lot of gear, and you don’t care who knows you are carrying a lot of gear. Sometimes a holster and a few Kydex pouches clipped onto your everyday belt will suffice. Some times a full onmbattle belt is called for, and sometimes something in the middle. I have a few different belt set ups that I will use based on what’s appropriate for my task - work, training, competition, simple preparedness, range day, etc....

The GCode Operator Belt is not MOLLE and it’s only 1.75” wide, with a very slim profile. You wear it with an under belt so it stays put. The belt does have channels so you can place your pouches where you want them, but Hoy don’t have to use them. I have some pouches in the channels - Med, handcuffs, and Dump, but the ESSTAC mag pouches use their 1.75” belt sliders.

GCode Belt, ESSTAC pouches. When I get home I will post pics. Wore it all day today. Very lightweight and comfortable.
