I have an Octane 45, which was my main .45/9mm can until I got the Omega 9K. I just LOVE the size and weight of the Omega 9K; honestly, pistol shooting with the Octane 45 was getting a little boring because it's so long. I like the Omega 9K on my SBRs like the Scorpion and Kriss Vector, too. So yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm pretty much a Silencerco whore, because I like that I can interchange the various attachments from one suppressor to the next, so I don't need to buy a whole new seat of accessories for every suppressor.

I just bought a Maxim 9, so I'll get a free suppressor with that. I'm planning to get the Octane 45K, just to have the small/light suppressor that can do .45.



I haven't tried the SBA3, but it looks pretty good.

Of the ones I've tried, I guess my favorite is the Tailhook Mod 2. It's the most "stock-like" of my braces, and it looks WAY better than the older ones. However, it's hard plastic and you can feel the recoil a bit; I'm using it on a .45 AR-15 so it's not too bad, but you might not want to use it on a .308 or something like that. The original braces are much softer and more rubbery, so they absorb recoil better.




That sounds like a pretty good deal, too, especially considering the cost and hassle of getting paper fingerprints. I haven't done any Form 1 submittals since the law changed, but if I do any more I'll probably go the same route you are.

I was wanting the omega 9k for a mpx pistol but guess the octane 9 will work :P I’m kind of a silencerco whore myself... 4/5 of my cans in jail are silencerco. Have you shot the maxim 9 yet? I’ve heard bad things about it but it’s a pretty sweet idea and hopefully you can find a better trigger for it.



The next group clean or shoot I’ll bring my ar pistol down and you can give it a shot with the sba3. I haven’t tried many of them just the shockwave and the sba3 but I’m happy with it as a brace.

Yes, I've shot them at SHOT Show. And yes, the trigger is sketchy . . . from what I saw, it varied a lot from gun to gun. I'm hoping for the best.

while I was walking around the apt, going commando I had an epiphany and converted my kriss 10mm into a firearm with a folding brace. and made my scorpion a fixed version

After our recent move, finally getting unpacked and just finished setting up my dryfire wall in the master bedroom. Spent some time working on revo reloads today (have several moonclips of dummy rounds with no powder or primers for the purpose, no live ammo!!!). Planning to start re-establishing my dry fire regimen this week.

Shooting day! First one since I got back. This is a shooting area north of Spokane near Eloika Lake.

The Tac-Sol 10/22 was terrific, though I wasn't super impressed with the Lucid H7. It just didn't get bright enough. Granted, it was as bright today as it is ever going to be in WA. But I also zeroed a Bushnell TRS-25 on my M92 which, on max brightness, was just fine. Disappointing that a smaller, cheaper optic would outperform the Lucid.

First test of my S&W 442PC, range report to follow. Apex trigger kit is a +1. The trigger pull wasn't bad before, but it became very smooth. I also added some boron nitride grease around the hammer and trigger pins which probably helped a bit too.

It shot low with everything I tested. I want a retest with a tall target as mine was pretty low to the ground. The Ruger APX, no surprise, shot the lowest as it's a 77gr bullet. Recoil was very light. Next were some 158gr wadcutters, these didn't strike too much higher, recoil a bit more stout. Then the +P Federal HST Micro, the one that looks like the old school "load the hollow base wadcutter backwards" trick. The most recoil, it did sting the web of the hand a bit. It will be the carry ammo and I'll leave the APX for my daughters to shoot out of the full size .38s/.357s.

The Blade-Tech KLIPT holster is good for $29, but does pinch a tad. I think I'll try a leather one next.

I bought a used suppressor-ready CZ P-10C recently, which works well except for when I'm shooting my 147-grain reloads with a suppressor attached. Sadly, that's kinda the point of the gun.

It turns out that my gun has the little 'weld spot' discussed here: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/0 ... sor-ready/

So today I hammered the hell out of the pins and finally got the locking block removed, then I filed down that spot and reassembled. Hopefully it will run better now, we'll see.

Oh, and I also cleaned and did a little work on two different Ruger MkIII 22/45 pistols, which meant that I disassembled and reassembled them about a half-dozen times.

I went to the Appleseed event yesterday and today out at the Upper Nisqually Sportsman's club. It was a lot of fun, though I am incredibly sore. I learned a great deal about some fundamental marksmanship practices that I was missing.

Nice Moktor!

I just got done properly fitting a Handguard to an M1A. It's not supposed to be tight with no receiver gap.

Bought some 9mm and began talks for another shotgun.

The Mk IV 22/45 I picked up a couple weeke ago has me pretty excited. Push a button and it breaks down. I loved my Mk III, but I have a feeling I'll never go back.

Great looking revo there HK. Wasn't aware that Apex made a trigger for the j-frame, will have to take a look. Have the Apex N-frame Evolution IV hammer and competition firing pin in my 627 though that is tuned for Federal primers only with light mainspring and trigger return spring. On my carry guns I never mess with the springs or trigger pull weight, everything at factory tension though I usually do have a gunsmith polish the working services of the lock work to smooth the action.

Also appreciate the reference for the Federal HST micro load, will do some research. I've been using the Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 38 Special +P in mine.

Have you ever considered pocket carry? Mika holsters are great as well as Sticky holsters. DeSantis also makes the Nemesis I think. I do have a Raven appendix carry holster for my j-frame though never practically use it as hard to beat the convenience of dropping a holster into front pocket of the jeans or cargo shorts.

Yeah . . . as I was dicking around with those two pistols I was thinking, "Hmmm, I wonder how much I'd be in the hole if I sold them and bought Mk IV replacements...."

The Apex kit is specifically made for carry. It lightens and smooths the trigger just a bit, plus the frame mounted firing pin is sharper. No one is using J frames for shooting competitions that I'm aware of.

I should get a pocket holster as well and try that out.

Thanks I'll check out the Apex j-frame carry kit.

These are the two pocket carry holsters I've used, both have been great:

One big thing with pocket carry is having big enough pockets. I got rid of all my Levi's (pockets too small and anti-gun company to boot). Now using the Duluth Ballroom Jeans that are awesome for pocket carry, even after putting an Altamont extended grip on my 642.

The biggest disadvantage of pocket carry is the draw takes more time. The biggest takeaway from recent pocket gun training class is get your hand on the grip in the pocket as soon as you sense a threat. Draw time is far better starting with grip in pocket than if you're surprised and have to start with hands out of pocket.

The big advantage of pocket carry is convenience. I'm never tempted to leave the gun at home on short trips out and about because it's as simple as dropping the holstered gun in my front jeans pocket.
