Bully

I wish you were here so I could hang my head in shame and you could see it.

Penurious... One of my favorite words ever. Sounds like a compliment. It's really not.

All the MRDS work well. Until they don't. If you're gonna run the gun, like actually run the gun, get the dot with the best customer service.

Magwell. Solid as a rock. Factory 10’s don’t work but Magpul mags do. That works for me.

Now moving on to guide rods... Oy. Never ending. Not quite as bad as rifles I suppose.

I took a look. It's overkill for me at this time. I don't need retention and would prefer something cut lower in the front so I can get out of the holster a bit easier. This is more of a "game" gun/rig. I don't carry either for work or in the outside world at all. Thank you for the suggestions.

I'll take another look. I'm just really not needing anything other than a passive retention. They seem much more geared to duty gear.

Sorry @High Exposure, I'm gonna run a compensator. I took the pistol to the range to make sure it runs. It does. Very well, actually. Now to add stuff until that stops and back it up a bit... Just kidding. But I do have a comp from Carver on the way. I grabbed the 2 port. Seems a nice compromise between recoil mitigation and size. I also need to load up some ammo soon for this pistol. Always a good time.

I have just started to use the P-Mags in my G3 and they run great.

Looks awesome. Let us know how it shoots.

Got enough pillows and padding?

Well, what do you want to do with it? That will dictate your "upgrades".

Do they make it in sparkly Kydex?

Thank you. Ive been looking at the Red Hill Tactical stuff. I will be running an optic so will need the front cut to accommodate that. Additionally, a duty holster is probably, in some ways, a bit of overkill for me. To further up the ante, the RHT is available with sparkles...

@High Exposure Thank you. I have the stock plunger that I put a good polish on. It seems pretty clean to my non-discerning trigger finger. Break is clean. A bit on the heavier side, I’m thinking 4.5-5 lbs as a seat of the pants guess. That’s fine for me. The connector is an Apex and again, seems fine to me. I’m used to DA triggers on revolvers so this is all good in my head. As far as springs, I’ll run what I have until I figure out what I want out of the gun and what it’s doing while getting run. As for the barrel, I’m gonna run the stock barrel for the moment. I plan to flush it to the slide. I also have some minor slide treatments that I’m planning on as I now have a milling machine. I have the threaded LWD barrel as it came with the package. I’m not 100% on using it and as of this moment won’t “build” it into the gun. I’m fine with sitting on it. That means that for the moment, no comp. Holster will be a gaming holster. I don’t CCW except around the house very occasionally. I have another pistol for that. And by gaming, I mean super casual Sunday nights at Tenafly once they start back up.

I’m trying to lose weight. Don’t get pushy!

Carver Custom "Tactical" magwell and Apex paddle style mag release are on the way. The frame will be done once these are installed. On to the upper. And a holster. I'm looking for a holster. I'd love holster suggestions. I'll need help with a holster...

Polishing the slide. Added an Apex trigger. Looking at Carver Custom “Tactical” magwell. It’s just a bit smaller than a competition magwell but will help my fumbling butt with reloads. Im still looking at mag releases. I think the Rock Your Glock may get the nod. We’ll see.

I have pretty much everything I need to get started. Building knives has taken a bit of a back seat lately. Buying other stuff at the moment.

Get you a model 10 snubby and have it "Fitz-ed" by a good revolver smith. One of my favorite set-ups. Or a Ruger SP101 in 9mm and make a modern version of it. Hmmmmmm... I have an SP101 in 9. Hmmmmmm..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FitzGerald_Special

Those look awesome! Thank you for sharing.

I would imagine as well.

When I called TSA, I asked the clerk if she could tell me where on the site the info was that she quoted. She instead offered to email me directly the information. I had it within a half hour. Fantastic to deal with that day. Additionally I would look at it this way: I'm moving my legally owned and purchased HP ammo between two points of exemption. Nothing more. Pistols, same deal. Deep breaths...

I'm not a lawer When I flew to Michigan I declared what I had. They checked the box was locked. They did not open it. This crap is only a big deal here. Other parts of the country they simply don't make a big deal of it. I also called TSA to clear something up with them and the clerk was awesome to deal with. Good luck with your move.
