been too excited to get better pics, took a long time to finish the build considering paperwork!
Just installed a Hogue grip. Much better.
So I am applying for my ccw in ny (I know terrible stage but I can’t move out I wish I could). Mag capacity is limited to 10 rnds. I am debating between a g26 43x or a p365 which do you guys think is the easiest to conceal without sacrificing ease of use. Which would you pick ?
So, I’ve been back and forth in my head about this one for a little while now and I just don’t know how to feel about it. Everything about this kit sounds awesome, but is it? In my eyes the connector that it’d be replacing is pretty much identical. Both are 3.5lbs so I couldn’t imagine they’d really be that different. I’ve heard that the 4# firing pin spring and the 6# trigger springs are a horrible combination, but I’ve also heard that ppl have used them both with success. My thought is to just give it a go and see what result I get. Is it worth wasting my time or would keeping everything stock and giving it the ole .25 trigger job be enough?
Just got my first 2011 style pistol and had it to the range an put a few hundred rounds for it. It may have ruined Glocks for me. It's a COS21 from Cosaint Arms. Put an RMR on it and a Surefire X300U. It's not even ported an I think it shoots as flat as my g45 with the radian ramjet. Was leaning towards a Stealth Arms Platypus for mag compatibility but this practically fell into my lap. I can honestly say, the only thing I'm upset about is I'm not sure I will shoot my striker fired pistols much having this around.

Edit: Brand and referring to things like Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Smith and Wesson, the super popular high end 1911 and revolver makers.
Im almost 21 and looking at for bday purchase. I’ve fallen for both a Rock Island Tac Ultra FS combo with 9mil and 22TCM, and a Taurus Tracker 6.5inch in 357 mag. I’ve had experience with the Tracker and really liked it, but had to sell it.
Before anyone starts, I like these two guns and I’m not going to spend over 1K to pay for a brand name when both of these guns do what they’re supposed to do and look good doing it. I’m also looking for these to be a one does all in a way, so I will be carrying these for personal and woods when I hunt, I want a gun I can enjoy at the range and don’t want to be looking to have one gun for every outfit or week of the day. I also live in the PNW and can’t have more than 10 rds, I don’t plan to move and don’t need the commentary about the gun laws, I know.
Here’s the catch, I’m more accurate with revolvers, and I always shoot low with semi pistols regardless of what gun it is, what caliber, or how slowly I go through my firing process or line up my sights; and I mean like 6” low at 10 yards most times.
Along with that, I’m looking from the perspective of buying the cheaper revolver but needing more expensive ammo averaging $30/ 50 rds of 38 spl but not as much of a learning curve; or the more expensive gun shooting cheaper ammo found as low as $13/ 50 rds but more of a learning curve.
I already have my own pros and cons list for both the guns and the ammo selections. The big thing for me is the overall shooting experience, ammo performance should I need to use it in defense, and the versatility of the gun in the areas of: range, carry, and woods.
I’ve seen videos where 9mm overpenetrates in gel, or hollow points expand really well in gel and stop where they should, same with 38 spl. I’m also aware that gel isn’t a 1:1 for how meat shots work and that not all gel is made or calibrated right.
So I’ll ask the community, what would I be better served in buying, I do t want to get something that I will just end up selling from not wanting to shoot. Again, I like Taurus and Rock Island, they work well for what they’re made to do and I don’t need or want to spend a lot to get a brand name slapped on. I also know that I’m not choosing super carry friendly guns, but I like those two a lot and am willing to compromise the carrying aspect for a gun I like to look at and shoot.
Please leave your constructive thoughts and opinions below, thank you.
