We can't modify our duty guns.

I used Talon grips for a few years but they were destroying the seats in my car and my uniforms.

I switched to this:

Kev,

Sorry for the slow response. Been really busy with work and family.

I'm located in Florida.

We tend to gravitate towards a lot of unrealistic scenarios based out of some wild dream...

I got a chance to put a few magazines through a 2024 CS.

Holy shit.

It's not any kind of earth shattering, revolutionary firearm but man is it nice. I thought that for its size, it was very...

Got out, stay out.

There's no reason to come back. I appreciate what you've done and I appreciate the idea that you still want to serve but you can find service to your community in other ways.
...

Absofuckinglutely.

Hmmmm.

The CS with a longer grip could be a nice combination as well depending on your hand size. I didn't find the CS frame to be too small for me but I wear a Large Size...

Isn't that starting to get fairly long for what is supposed to be a concealed carry gun?

The CS is already longer than a G19 with its magazine in place, right?

I am 83% of the way towards...

One of the biggest ideas that I see constantly carrying over into this conversation is a delineation between "tactical guys" or "combat shooters" and "competition shooters".

I hear it all the time...

You should not have to file anything down in order for the light to fit your gun.

As others have said, press the bezel into the gun and the P latch will click into place. The newer P latches are...

I heard three more weeks from a variety of sources.

There's been a massive rush of approvals...

I wonder what's going on.

I've seen forms approved in two days. I called the NFA branch the other day and the call taker said that he saw a 1.5 hour...

Ok.

That makes sense. Expounding on that totally clarifies what Doc was saying.

Back to shopping. :)

Doc,

I am a tad confused.

In your post in the other thread, you continually mention level III plates needing to stop M855.

I was under the impression that level III plates were not rated to...

Fair enough. Although I'm not sure what the benefit to that may be? Better blunt force trauma mitigation because of the soft panel?

Great info.

I am most DEFINITELY confusing my ratings. I was under the impression a III+ plate was a special threat plate rated to stop green tip. There are a ton of resources out there that say...

Rare.

We are working on a level four armor solution for our SWAT negotiators. I'll start building first hand experience from there. :)

I train in my active shooter kit but that's limited to...

Er...thanks?

By that logic I guess I should just purchase what our SWAT teams use including groin protection, deltoid protection etc? Shit, i'll just get level four plates. I better up my game...

Hopefully I can answer all of the questions posed in this response.

Firstly, thank you for those that have contributed and made recommendations for both plates and retailers. I appreciate it.
...

Nothing. Arguably a "better" recoil impulse due to the plastic frame versus the metal frame on the Wilson product. That is going to be highly subjective though.

Aren't both pistols in the same...

Hey guys,

I'm going to try and make this short and sweet. I keep a plate carrier in my car for off duty active shooter/critical incident response. I was running Shot Stop Duritium plates. I...

There has been a rash of REALLY fast approvals lately.

Not sure what's going on over there. I'm happy for the people that are getting their approvals so quickly but...fuck...do I hate this random...

Yeppers.

No sling was being run when I was patterning post cleaning.

I'll run the gun without the clamp the next time I'm at the range and report back. It probably wont be until March.
...

Nailed it.

Sling point. Hrmph... lol.

I could go back to the vang/GG&G sling mount i've got for this shotgun and ditch the Magpul clamp.

I'll have to test all of this out eventually.

It's a vang 870 with their plus two extension.

I am using a Magpul barrel clamp.

That could be what caused the point of impact shift. That actually makes sense. I torqued the clamp to the...

The new Team Wendy Epic Specialist helmets are fantastic.

Really good suspension, really good shell shape and they come with everything you need and nothing you don't. Their NVG shroud and ARC...

Nope.

I wasn't putting any twisting force on the fore end so I can't imagine I was pulling on the gun that much. Hmmm.
