High Exposure

Nope. Replaces the rear leaf sight. Only downside (if you can even call it that) is you have to be a little more precise on the angle when installing the dustcover to fit it under the mount.

If you are concerned about holster wear on a gun you are carrying for self defense, then that gun has ceased being a lifesaving tool and has become a fashion accessory. Forget holster marks, what’s it going to look like after being thrown in an evidence locker for 30 years if you use it? I totally understand it being precious to you and it having personal value over and above its worth. If that’s the case, maybe that 1911 is not the gun to carry. Get a nice OWB leather rig for BBQs and infrequent range trips where you will practice drawing, and enjoy the 1911 worry free. Then go spend $300 on a used soulless G19, buy an JMCK or Tenicor IWB rig, and carry with confidence.

Attero Arms: https://atteroarms.com/products/optic-mounts I have the bravo mount - it’s direct mount for an Aimpoint T1. Super low profile, lightweight, robust, easy to install and has an integrated rear BUIS. The also make a direct mount version for different MRDS type, as well as Trij MRO and a pic rail version. MI makes a similar one, but it is not as reliable.

JM Custom Kydex

I don’t disagree. I don’t make the rules. I just have to follow them.

Not exactly 100% true. Retired NJ LE (ie: Retired from an agency in NJ) has to choose to carry under LEOSA or NJRPO. One or the other, can not be both. Each has their own set of restrictions and allowances. So, yes, you can carry HP under LEOSA, but you are limited to 10 round mags and must follow NJCCW restricted spaces guidelines.

CD is not a hollowpoint and NJ does not consider them to be.

I can’t believe this didn’t sell yet. Good luck!

That’s looks yummy.

Are you forgetting you’re wearing a gun? Or just not thinking about it all the time? I wouldn’t say I ever “forget” I’m carrying, but I would describe it is it is no longer a distraction. I just don’t think about it at all or worry that it’s going to fall out, or that I’m printing, or I left it somewhere, etc… It’s such a normal thing after 20 years that now, it’s more of a constant distraction if I am not carrying.

What method of carry and do you require retention? For hip carry IWB or OWB without active retention - JM Custom Kydex is the answer. If you need retention, Safariland ALS. For AIWB - Tenicor is my go-to.

@70gto just saw your PM. Standby

The sights I recommended is basically the sights you have. I am glad Glock offered them as a factory choice. Holster? Whats your preferred carry? IWB? OWB? AIWB?

Nope. It’s the same size as a G19 dustcover. Everything will fit from an X300U to a TLR7a. All of the gen 5 guns have that. A few companies make aftermarket magwells if you want someone more substantial. I like the Ed Sherman offering, personally. As to the irons - I was pleasantly surprised Glock started offering those as a factory option. The Ameriglo Spartan Operator sights (which are basically what these are) are my preferred option for an Iron sighted gun.

Correct. The G17MOS Gen 5 is no more (unless you are a police agency that supplies them as a Duty Gun). The G47 MOS and G45 MOS has taken their place for all new sales. You may still see G17 MOS Gen 4s being made due to the California laws requiring any pistols sold there to be on an existing list. Congrats on the new gun. They are nice.

I’m 80% in, possibly with a special guest star….

@GRIZ it seems like you weren’t listening amigo. @Vdep217 already said it’s useless because he can’t think of any benefit to ankle carry. So, you can’t use it anymore. Sorry my friend - you are going to have to do something different. 99% of the people he talked to only use it because they can’t conceal it any other way. You gotta stop fighting it. With supporting facts like that, you just have to admit - he’s right. I mean, it’s practically science - I’m convinced.

What do you want? I already said you’re right. I mean if 99% of the people you talked to said it… it’s gotta be the right answer for me.

I don’t feel like arguing. You are right. You convinced me. I’m on your side now. Ankle carry is useless. I mean if you can’t think of any reasons why I may want to carry a gun on my ankle, what’s the point in supporting my position to you, right? Since your circumstances are universal and all, and since you know what is best for me and my situation at all times, I’m just going to take your word on it and throw my ankle rigs in the trash. What’s your number? I want to call you when I make decisions on how to carry my gun for my specific needs.

Ok. You’re right.

Incorrect.

@GRIZ is right as usual. Inside of the support side ankle. I like Don Hume for ankle rigs, although I very rarely carry that way.

I know and I just may take you up on that. Just grabbed an 1894 in .357 and I need to feed it!! Thanks Brother!
