  1. I have literally been looking for a holster for 2 weeks you are awesome! https://www.redhilltactical.com/Beretta-Premium-IWB_p_36.html
  2. I have never seen one in person even once. The other issue is holsters.
  3. 92X performance brigadier slide, who the heck is making an IWB for the brigadier 92s?
  4. Firstly, does the CZ 75 SP-01 Competition have a competition block? Secondly, is this the highest performance model offered with the fireing pin block?
  5. Edited verbiage for clarity. Do you have direct experience with these coatings for improving the system(s) that exists? This is what I'm finding so far. Barrel: Chrome lining or DLC coating can increase wear resistance and durability of the barrel. The barrel is a key part that undergoes heavy use and repeated wear can reduce accuracy over time. A coating that withstands wear can extend the barrel's lifespan, improving accuracy and reducing the need for frequent replacement. Slide: The slide, responsible for chambering and ejecting rounds, experiences high wear as well. A DLC or NP3+ coating can enhance lubricity and corrosion resistance of the slide, reducing friction and increasing reliability. The low friction also decreases the effort required to cycle the action, improving speed and accuracy. Frame: The frame serves as the main structure of the firearm and requires protection from corrosion and wear. NP3+ or Black Nitride coatings can offer good corrosion protection and low friction properties to the frame, extending the firearm's lifespan and improving reliability. Trigger components: A clean and crisp trigger pull is crucial for accuracy and speed in competition shooting. NP3+ coating is a good option for trigger components as it provides excellent lubrication and low friction, reducing trigger creep and enhancing trigger feel. NP3+ is a soft, slippery coating that offers good corrosion resistance and low friction. It is known for its high lubricity and is often used on parts requiring good lubrication like triggers and moving parts. NP3+ has a low coefficient of friction, reducing wear and enhancing reliability. Of the commonly used coatings (NP3+, Black Nitride, Armoloy, DLC), NP3+ is considered to have the highest lubricity and is the ideal coating for parts requiring low friction and good lubrication. The other coatings offer durability and wear resistance but not the same level of lubricity as NP3+. For the hammer and sear components of a firearm, a low friction and highly lubricated coating is preferred to reduce friction and wear. NP3+ (Nickel Teflon) is often considered to be a good option for these components, as it provides excellent lubrication and low friction properties. The low coefficient of friction of NP3+ helps to reduce wear and increase reliability. Other coatings, such as Black Nitride, Armoloy, and DLC, may also provide good wear resistance, but they typically don't offer the same level of lubrication as NP3+. For the safety, trigger bar, and slide takedown lever, NP3+ or DLC coating may also be good options due to their low friction and good lubrication properties. The goal for these parts is to reduce friction and wear, improving the reliability and functionality of the firearm. NP3+ (Nickel Teflon) is often considered to have lower friction properties compared to DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. NP3+ has a low coefficient of friction, which helps to reduce wear and increase reliability, making it a popular choice for parts that require good lubrication and low friction, such as triggers and moving parts. On the other hand, DLC is known for its high hardness and durability, making it a good choice for high-wear parts, such as slides. So this all being said, The parts that require high hardness and high durability over lubricity, then DLC is the way to go. The components that require high lubricity NP3+ is the way to go. NP3+: High lubricity, good durability DLC: High durability, low lubricity. Black Nitride: High durability, good lubricity Armoloy: High durability, moderate lubricity From what I understand the high wear parts that require more durability are; barrel, slide, frame, safety, trigger bar, slide takedown lever, hammer, sear, and related components. So those high wear components DLC everything else NP3 +.
  6. Sources: https://armoloyfw.com/protect-your-firearm-with-armoloy-tdc/ https://www.ibccoatings.com/melonite-qpq/ http://blacknitride.com/qpq-processes/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon Importance in order for this topic 1 reliability preferably long-term 2 functionality of precision, and speed With these considered, those of you that likely know more than me, if you were to have your entire defensive and or competitive tool coated (at least the parts that make sense to do so) which of these 3 coatings would you use to improve 1 and or 2, and explitly why?
  7. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1910515165.html Can you speak to why the thinner front sight over a thicker one? I don't want to make an assumption here. Is the shadow 2 orange rear sight the same as a standard Shadow 2 I'm assuming as well?
  8. https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=295997 https://www.ebay.com/itm/225062620986?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=94fyiB4VSfC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=wteglm9zsay&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Do you have a measurement of the fiberoptic in the oem front sight? https://www.trijicon.com/products/subcategory/trijicon-di-sights I think it may be possible to do a diy front trigicon di night sight that combines the tritium tube and fiberoptic fiber piece in one optic.
  9. I feel this could likely be appealed. If it cannot it is likely you wouldn't have a stay of adjudication or not guilty etc. In that case wouldn't you be more concerned with defending whoever you were defending than worried about where the tool ends up? Under this logic wouldn't be best to have the best tool for the situation at hand?
  10. I created a new post getting into dasa vs sa . Considering that the dwx is sa only, it is relevant for those wanting something like this. I personally don't feel I get sa only except for specifically a competition pistol. The dwx isn't advertised as such, hence the question, the advertising seams counter intuitive compared to the shadow 2 etc.
  11. Those that voted, would be good if you could post why you chose what you chose to help others considering this, with everything going on in the world right now.
  12. So your argument is because they are easier. Thats fine. I don't assume why others do things. I wont put words in their mouths. Hence, I ask people their perspective.
  13. Just like the title states. Make sure to vote please, and make sure to tell us why you think it is the best for CCW and home defense. Both systems can be carried in position one.
  14. Might be time to move to a county that isnt communist brother.
  15. Nice. They don't appear to be marketing this as a target or competition pistol. Any thoughts on that? I am down between this and a Shadow 2 Orange. If anyone has both and give an objective review between the two that would be great. The only thing for me is I dont know how I feel about the single action only vs da/sa for home defense. Any thoughts on this fellas?
  16. Yes to position one? As for the sight how does it compare to the shadow 2?
  17. Not wanting to make an assumption here, can you who have the dwx confirm that it can be carried in position one (cocked and locked)? How does fhe iron sight adjustment compare to the shadow 2?
  18. Slavex I haven't seen what you are talking about and I am not sure what search function in google I should use to find that. Do you have a specific link that you are thinking of that you could provide? Btw, I know from reading the forums a lot that you have a s20, have you shot the dwx yet? will you be any time soon? Would like to know your thoughts of which of the two is; the most accurate, most consistent/reliable, and least complex for finding parts.
  19. Couldn't we mod a front sight to accept a screw with the correct thread pitch and length?
  20. https://dawsonprecision.com/sights-for-cz-shadow-2-orange-front-fiber-optic-by-dawson-precision/ The above link is the only option I have found for the s2o. Anyone else have other leads? Custom ideas? I was hoping for something similar to this. https://www.trijicon.com/products/subcategory/trijicon-di-sights
  21. Anything you can test it against for accuracy?
