    Apex is worth it? My shield fires and goes where I want but it’s like they put gravel in the trigger . I definitely don’t like it so I don’t shoot it but with a new trigger maybe I would

    I second the Apex series of triggers. They have a duty carry version that cleans a lot of the unnecessary trigger slop. They also have do it yourself installation videos

    Obviously, you remove the extractor plunger so you can fully seat your optic's screw. :D
    (Don't do that)!


    BTW, why does this Dagger look like a Glock? I was thinking about stuff the other day and it occurred to me that the only original gun designs I was aware of that have been prolifically copied/licensed/mimicked were Colts, H&Ks and maybe a S&W revolver and the Winchester lever. Has Glock finally made it to the big time...or do we wait until a manufacturer with a little more clout produces a copy?
    If the internals here are not what a Glock looks like, nevermind... It seems Glock still has a ways to go. :crackup:

    You should venture out from that rock you've been living under once in a while. PSA knows what's up- they know that cheapasses like me want their cheap plastic guns to actually be....cheap.

    Thought it was funny a couple nights ago I counted 3 different tv shows/movies that referenced "Glock 19". Not sure if they're getting paid, or the Glock is the poster child for evil black "high capacity handguns"

    Im a tightwad and just bought the Apex sear and polished the firing pin plunger. Worked wonders. Have an Apex plunger and sear in another gun and it's even better. Trigger and sear in yet another and comparing all, the trigger itself was the lowest improvement, but still great.

    Pos'er, er, poster child. :D
     
  8. I can tell you the Dagger takes Glock 17 mags. A G17 mag works perfectly in the Dagger (as long as the optic isn’t screwed in all the way :mad:).

    I prefer the Overwatch Precision TAC over the Apex trigger. Much smoother and more refined.

    I've never been a revolver owner but the new colt pythons have my interest. Seriously considering a 3 or 4.25 variety..

    4.25 would be a better shooter but man the 3" is sweet

    Me too except I want the 6”. Hell I wish they made it bigger, I definitely want peoples first thoughts to be “what is he compensating for?” when they see it. I’m never going to carry it so why not.

    I'm really hoping there is sarcasm here that's just going over my head.

    The first paragraph, yup. :D
    The second, nope. It's what happens when I think...about Glocks. :crackup:
     
  15. I just got one of the new FN 545 Tactical off Gunbroker.

    18+1 capacity of .45ACP, optic ready, and threaded barrel (I already have a can for it).

    If I like it, it might be my new primary bedside home defense weapon.

    I was torn between the new 545 and 510. But I already have a can and 3,639,722 rounds of .45 ammo. The .45 makes more sense, especially since I don’t hunt. If I come up on a bear I am more likely to try to pet him than try to shoot him.

    I'd agree except for the caliber. If you're going that short, I'd go fat, heavy, pistol caliber.

    Then why are you saving the bedroom world with a little FN pea shooter?
     
  20. I would rely on either, just depends on the situation.

    The Banshee is over against the wall on the other side of the nightstand.

    The bedside weapon (currently an XDM-Elite Tactical with Trijicon SRO, Streamlight TLR-7, Rugged Obsidian silencer, and 30 round mag) is sitting right beside me, 12” away. I don’t even have to sit up in the bed to grab it.

    If I hear something and go investigating, I take the Banshee. If I get woken up in the middle of the night and have to immediately grab something, the handgun is quicker and easier.
