Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 43x MOS vs G19

Heavily considering the G43x MOS for AIWB carry. 15 rounds with the aftermarket mags at that size is pretty awesome. Glock should follow the premise of that magazine on future guns! I wonder how many rounds they could fit into the guns that are 2" wide... 😬 I suspect that the G43x will carry much more comfortably than a G19.

I want to put a red dot on it and am considering a weapons light. Doesn't seem like there are a ton of options out there. What are the best ones? Either Surefire or Streamlight and Holosun or Trijicon. If the Surefire light was 500 lumens, I'd probably go with that.

How easy to shoot is the gun compared to a G19? I suspect its snappier and a little harder to shoot at distance, say 25 yards. Anyone have feedback on this? Does it make much of a difference? I suspect that the length difference for shootability is somewhat mitigated by the red dot - the sight radius no longer matters.

Thanks!

EDIT: Wonder how the Sig 365 Macro changes this conversation. Any feedback on them? Any new developments on the 43x aftermarket mag front? There was another brand slated to make 43x mags, but I don't recall who.

Pierced primers with new Lapua brass

Bought my first batch of Lapua for my 223 bolt gun with a longer throat. Loaded 24gr of Varget under 77 SMK at like 2.49 coal, should be fine. Saw several pierced primers or just badly cratered primers. I didn't do anything to the brass just loaded it. Im guessing this was my mistake? I don't have a mandrel die yet just FL. I could feel different neck tension when seating bullets, also the shoulder to case head measurement werent all the same. I just wanted to get them fire formed. I checked to see if the new brass chambered in my gun and all the pieces I tried did no problem. Now Im pulling bullets and will run them thorugh my FL die with the decapping pin removed or should I deprime the unfired primers and reuse? I have done that before but it makes me nervous and I wear eye and ear pro when doing so.

Also this bottle of Varget is a few years old and for sure dried out more than a fresh jug. Though I know from experience this gun can handle much higher charge than that. Some of my go to loads are 24.5 or 8208 XBR with 75s, 25.0 of N140 with 80gr stuff, Ive gone past 24gr of Varget with 88s and not seen pressure. These are on the lower end of each node and I didnt see pressure until higher charges. This was with LC and Win brass, I know Lapua has less case capacity. Still I thought I would be fine with 24gr of Varget under 77s, thats a known gas gun load and I'm loading the rounds way longer than 2.25.

Michigan AG Wants Drag Queens in Every School

Since the elites prey on children for sex I suppose the transexual movement in schools is to remove the stigma from adults having sex with children. We don't have SRO's in every school but the AG wants Drag Queens in every school. I guess will we eventually have a population like in Bangkok of Ladyboys.

Any electricians want to lend me a hand?

Need some guidance on a project. If you’re willing to lend some assistance I’d appreciate it. If it ends up too complex for my liking I’ll abort and hire someone.

I want to install a sub panel in my pool house. 100amp. Fed from my main panel. Approximately 130ft run. Buried underground. Already spoke to the inspectors so I have the data on trenching and inspections.

Inspector said I could run direct burial URD wire sized appropriately. But I’ll need “bell reducers” to fit 1/0 cable into the 100amp breaker. Unsure of what exactly I’m looking for.

FWIW I wired my entire basement and cottage. So I’m not a complete fuckstick

Scope ring hanging off rail just a bit

I mounted my scope up in some old nightforce rings because my A.R.C. one-piece mount doesn't play so nice with the Kahles horizontal parallax ring. I got everything the way I wanted it, but somehow I missed that my scope rings are mounted at the extremes so that the clamping portion is just hanging off the end of the rail a bit. I could see how this might cause run-out and stress the scope by putting uneven pressure, buttt it's not that much and I'm lazy. Has this ever caused anyone problems? Seems okay thus far but it doesn't give me that warm and fuzzy feeling. Maybe some of you fine lads have done this and know better than me. I attached some glory shots and close ups. Many thank

Bear Creek Arsenal barrels

I've seen Bear Creek Arsenal barrels maligned here on the hide so I thought I would share this video of mine. I get no compensation from BCA, I'm just impressed with their accuracy. Here is a 16" run of the mill M4 barrel with A frame sight that I used to build a SOCOM SOPMOD M4A1 Block II copy. I easily get 1/2" moa and not just at 100yds. Here is a video of a test fire (gun is for sale on GB as SOCOM SOPMOD) at 350 meters...LESS than 1/2 moa.

BEWARE - Bogus Bergara website - https://bergarafirearmstore.com

I placed an order through what I thought was the Bergara website. The payment was made via the checkout process. When I did not get an order confirmation from Bergara I attempted to follow up with emails and phone messages. After no response, I finally sent a note to the European offices. I finally got a response that it was a known issue. They claim they have notified the public. Has anyone seen any notification from Bergara? I certainly have not. Needless to say, I am not pleased to be out several hundred dollars. Not to mention the difficulty of simply getting answers from anyone at Bergara US.

Please pass this on to anyone you know in the Bergara community. The sight is an exact clone of the "real" Bergara site and was linked directly from Google.

ATF "Virtual Training", anyone else here log into this?

So I tuned in this afternoon, and got near zero clarification on the stuff that affects me.
I'm not going to take in PMF's, so I couldn't care less about that part of the legislation- even so, that's the least ambiguous to me- but seems to be the main focus of the discussion. However, there seems to be much more that's completely unrelated to the 80%/PMF focus.

"Marking requirements" is where I'm still lost.

As an 07 smith:

If a customer sends me a serialized receiver (say for a bolt gun- Defiance, for example; but could also be an AR lower), and I rebarrel it- do I now need to add another S/N to this? Currently, I engrave the barrel (name, location, caliber) only. In this same example- would it make a difference if I purchased the receiver insofar as additional serialization (currently, it would be included in AMFER).

Cerakoting:
The presenters bumbled through these questions and didn't seem to know the answers.
Still confusing as to whether an 01 or 07 is needed, but since I have the 07 I'm covered either way- but I got the impression that in some circumstances, serialization could be required? If so, under what circumstances?

Guess what I'm looking for is real clarification on the scenarios under which an additional serial number would need to be added to a frame or receiver that has already been serialized- if any?
