It's fantastic for carry it's just the gun itself is very small and has limited capacity. I'm okay with it, I chose this gun on purpose even over the g43x. But it is objectively the least ideal gun I have carried.

it was winter and a giant dickees jacket so you really couldnt tell. my first time carrying apendix with my 19 in a t shirt in summer was way more memorable because i kept scanning faces to see if anyone could see.

you can't even print what can be loosely considered a group. Everyone, including people who don't post their shots, are better than you by default.

I have a possibly stupid question. When I'm at an indoor range, my groups are terrible and all over. When I shoot outdoors, I can reliably hit an index card sized piece of steel at 10 yards or more shooting at a steady pace of one round a second. Why is that? Is that just lighting or a skill issue, or maybe my eyes are kinda fugged?
I know I'm not a good shot.

If it works for you it works. Don't put too much stock on what you hear online, especially not from someone who shoots less than 250 rounds a year (40apr dodgechargerbin)
You can even point your thumb/thumbs up as long as you have appropriate pressure.

How did they fuck this up so badly?
It's like they tried to give a nod to the hk backwards bullet ad, but they also appear to have the mags backwards? The little notched part is the front of the mag and the higher side is the rear, but looking at the baseplate of the mag in the table, it's backwards. But then you look at the baseplate which clearly tells the another story. I'm actually baffled
What were they going for here??

I notice a difference in group size too and I've attributed it to my ligmatism playing up under fluorescent lighting and the ceiling baffles creating shaded/lighted zones because it happens when I'm indoors alone

I already had a set of jewelers files and Dremel polishing bits that work a treat. I would not suggest sandpaper coarser than 400 grit to start, 600 should be fine to finish. And you will have to find something cylindrical to wrap it around which is exactly or slightly smaller in diameter than the takedown pin, because you must try to preserve that radius so the barrel isn't wibbly wobbly
What I did was go back and forth between Dykem, reassembly, filing, Dykem, reassembly, filing to keep re-identifying the contact points and attack them bit by bit. It's hard to keep a tool perfectly square by hand, so you'll have to correct alignment mistakes on the next go around. Use a sharpie if you don't have Dykem. You can see from pic related that after bluing it's still pretty much only contacting the rearmost edge of the cutout, but the barrel locks in tight with no roll so that's where I left it

I assume by "thumb safety" you mean a manual safety on the frame. They do make those so I'd recommend finding them used

I’m debating on getting a handgun for my beloved grandmother
She’s like 70 and has arthritis so I have the feeling she’s going to get one shot off cause she’s not going to put in all that practice.
Here’s my thoughts and idea
>Glock store M1X. That’s a 19 frame and a 26 slide
>Radian ramjet and afterburner barrel
>Glock OEM flared magwell
Streamlight flashlight and laser w/ the pressure pad contour.
>Not sure about optic
>Johnny glock competition trigger
>Tangodown backplate
My thought process being if anything she will have one shot, and I want to make it as grandma friendly as possible. Which for me is hard cause my duty handgun straight up has brass weights in it for the sake of extra weight. I think the ramjet would be good because it balances out the snappiness of a sub compact Glock barrel
I’m thinking the flared magwell may be overkill, but idk. I just really love her but I can’t always be around her

Definitely, my combat accuracy extends to 15 yards outdoors because of the superior contrast and definition with mechanical sights. I've even rang gongs out to 50 yards at the state range where there are no RSO's around so no eye pro to screw with my sight picture but it's shutdown right now (seasonal).
