    I’m the opposite. I no longer buy online. It seems like the guns put up for sale online are the ones rejected at shops by potential local buyers because they don’t feel like they’re working right. Most of the ones I’ve purchased online have had issues. Like my P10C with a 9 pound trigger. Glock 43 that took 40 something pounds of force to depress the mag release. P365 where the slide action felt like it was packed with dry chalk and a trigger full of sand.

    Gun store called me at 3:40 to tell me to come get the FN510.

    180 miles later and 6 1/2 hrs of my day and I have it in my possession. lol.

    I like the ergos, it's light (good or bad) but the experts say the recoil is probably the smoothest/easiest shooting in the polymer /striker fire 10 mm world and the trigger seems very nice...Not nearly as nice as my Canik Rival or LFA Apollo 11 but way better than my SA XDM elite 10mm.

    I'll shoot it tomo after work. I think I could carry this thing pretty comfortably if I wanted to.

    $746 out the door. If you take away the holosun 407c, the gun itself would be under $500. I'm a sucka for a good deal.

    You’re not the only one Buddy. I bought a 510 too.

    Any appendix carry guys looking for a new belt let me point you to the Hunter Constantine Carry belt.

    https://hunterconstantine.com/products/constantine-concealed-carry

    It’s a little spendy and I can’t speak to the longevity of it but after using it for a week if this thing doesn’t fall apart in a month I’ll be buying more of them. I’ve only used very rigid ratcheting belts to this point. They did the job just fine but when I moved to appendix I always had to move the buckle over which made getting in my pocket a PIA and when I was heavier my gut would drive the buckle into my leg on longer drives.

    This one is smooth in the front and a lower profile because there isn’t a big buckle. The elastic takes a bunch of weight off your hips and honestly makes carrying my 5” PDP SF Match feel about like my 365 XL. I thought the 365 may have a tendency to want to flip over the belt because of the elastic but so far so good.

    made a quick stop at the range this afternoon. Set up my garmin chronograph to check velocity on a bunch of handloads (155gr cast powder coated 9mm subsonic loads, and some 45-70 340gr and 490gr cast/pc subsonic loads).

    Had to try out the new setup on the Ruger Charger. This thing is fun. Ruger 10/22 Charger (pistol), PMACA chassis, carbine buffer tube, SBA3 brace, emissary development hand brake, volquartsen VF-6 6" carbon barrel, Dead Air Mask can and a cheap red dot (Tasco? was on it when I got it a few weeks ago and seems good enough for goofing around). shot some CCI Semi Auto Quiet round, CCI Standard Velocity and some bulk ammo.

    Our local machine gun club had its annual pumpkin shoot yesterday.
    I ran a few hundred through my Frankenstein Thompson and it just runs. A friend had his water cooled Maxim and I did not bring proper ear protection to be off to the side when he ran through a belt. All and all a great way to spend my BD.

    I don’t typically get excited about full auto stuff. Just not my thing. But THAT sounds super cool! :rock:

    You’re not wrong about FA. While they are fun they are by far the least shot in my normal rotation. It does make a huge difference at what your shooting at.

    I seemingly got my trigger from a bad batch for my pc charger. Stiff,gritty just all around unpleasant. When I get time, the stock is going back in. I hate it.

    Speaking of beautiful AKs……I got that kns adapter for the new can and zastava. Super cool setup, but damn the gas blowing out of the dust cover burns my eyes:crackup:

    Well shit, I got you on that as well....:D

    https://knsprecisioninc.com/ak-adjustable-gas-piston/

    pros: will reduce gas - will make it shoot softer
    cons: depending how you set it up, the AK will only work suppressed (that's the way I set up mine, least amount of gas to run suppressed but will not run unsuppressed.
    The adjustment is really clunky compared to how riflespeed does it on ARs

    I LOVE mine....shoots really soft for an AK and dont really noticd gas to the face either (Im sure its there, just alot less of it):beer:
