Did you buy yourself anything for Christmas?

[alamo5000]

To be honest I was not planning on getting any gun related stuff for Christmas but at the end of the day I did an impulse buy from SLR.

I built my 6 ARC a while back but one of the quirks I had was the hard guard I originally picked out for it.

The gas block is where it is and the ID of the handguard is what it is so the net result was that I couldn't run my bipod out where I prefer it. The M Lok screws caused interference. At the time I identified a potential solution but it wasn't a priority at the moment. Eventually I forgot about it and went on with life as usual.

That is until I get an email showing the exact handguard I was looking at previously, but for 40% off.

It wasn't in the plan but I splurged on it because eventually I would have bought one anyway.

That was my only real gun related purchase this Christmas, although leading up to the holiday I bought some other small parts that I have been on the waiting list for (backorder) for a few months already.

Anyway if you bought yourself anything cool please feel free to share. It doesn't have to be gun related at all either so show off those new cars and wrist watches if you got em.

I bought myself a Ruger Super Blackhawk, and matching Stainless Leupold scope and rings for myself for handgun hunting next year. May take it hog hunting this year.

Not this year.

I have a few SLR handguards. They are excellent, just a little pricey, so it's very nice you were able to grab the one you wanted at such a discount.

I have SLR handguards on everything except for the one, but that's about to change thanks to the 40% off.

Had a deer commit suicide in front of my old truck in November at 60mph so needless to say I got a brand new 2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss for christmas... Hahaha

That sucks. I had to shoot one in the middle of the road a while back. Someone else hit it and just left. It was still alive but very injured. She was picking her head up and crying so I felt bad for her. I went home and got my 300 BLK with solid copper expanding subs and finished what I had to do. She was hit about half a mile from my house.

I’ve got a PWS MK2 Mod2 coming in hopefully January. 14.5” barreled 6.5 Creedmoor. and their 7.62 BDE suppressor. First large frame for me so I’m excited.

Still need to figure out glass.

Nice! I have to say, despite all the options and competition, my subcompact Glock (26) is still my favorite for carry.

Jerry, was thinking about one myself. Write a review when you get it and let us know how you like it. For folks like me that don't have baseball glove sized hands and at 10 rounds, it's an attractive option for me.

Books and gun parts. Oh, and a drill press, belt sander, air compressor, and a buffer for my little workshop.

I did a little peeking at the Glock web site. All Gen 4 45's grips are 34mm 1.24" thick. All Gen 5 45's grips are 35mm 1.38" thick, so they are a wee bit thicker. But they take the same magazines. Not sure if 0.04 inches will help your grip on them. I hope to get to the range soon. I will write up a review once I have had some trigger time. Trigger on the Gen 5 "seems" to be a lot better than previous generations, so I may not swap the fire control. Cell phone photo comparing the Glock 30 and the Shield 45. I know 8 plus 1 is less than 10 plus 1, but ... the Shield is a single stack.

Thanks

Jerry, did you get the Glock 30 yet? Wondering how you liked it out of the box?
