What did you buy yourself today - PART 2

It's a small handle for various screwdriver bits in its handle.

Today I brought home the 44 Magnum mate to the Tippman 357 Magnum Rolling Block I bought last fall; not mine in the photo, the stock on mine is nowhere near as flashy:



The rear sight is downright over the top goofy. It's a full buckhorn, but it has an adjustable white diamond insert that's got the notch in it for the tip of the front blade. It's right busy, a lot going on in a small area and the rear sight all but blocks view of the target. Fortunately my rear sight drawer has a couple dozen proper replacements to choose from. I hate them white diamond insert plates; the diamond "blooms" and makes the front bead tough to see. I usually paint them flat black or flip them over, but even that's not going to help the horrible sight picture of a full buckhorn.

That's it - after today I made a promise to myself - no more buying guns this week! I'm going to be strong.
But a nice 9mm revolver with a couple dozen moon clips cheap - and a nice older blued model.
Sure!

Cruzans,

At most you'll only have to wait seven days! Some nice strolls around the neighborhood in the evening, an evening out. The time will fly.

Picked this up about 2 weeks ago. Sig Sauer X-Ten 10mm. I read some negatives about the magazines, but other than the fact that they should be 14 rounders and not 15, they function flawlessly with the various loads and bullet types I have tried. I added a Sig Romeo X-Pro optic, which is only one of two that they make that are rated for 10MM. I looked at many others with the DPP footprint, but this one allows co-witnessing the factory X-ray sights.

This is one fine pistol to shoot. I own a bunch and have owned many more. If they ever pry anything from my cold dead fingers, it may be this:

That's a mighty fine looking setup you have there. I have been trying to get my 2025 "got to have list" put together and you may have just thrown in a monkey wrench. A P210 Target stays on the list though....

Anybody else trying different things with the Springfield Hellcat?? Share your thoughts!!

I upgraded my main "deeper" work/summer concealment rig over the last week... I've rocked the Hellcat OSP in its basic config with just a dot for awhile, but after trying/running borrowed G43Xs and G19s with comps and lights, it was time. I still always have a handheld light for EDC in my pocket, but an attached WML is the way to go... TLR-7sub is the only light one for a lot of premium AIWB holster options... couldn't do the Surefire.. (next post! ha)

Also put about 450rds through the new barrel and compensator (SA's stock "RDP upgrade" kit). Totally worth it for my use-case. The Veridian RFX11 green dot's zero was only slightly low (impact 1" higher @ 20m; no noticable shift at point blank or <7m) with carry ammo (Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +P), as expected and easily adjusted. The kit came with a thread protector too.. yay. lol

Overall, I'm pretty pleased after only450rds. Got a few new holsters on the way too... as I had been using a CrossBreed Reckoning, not cut for the light and comp... and really like it set up like this for the last couple years:

Ordered the below custom Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite too... still waiting on it, so stock photo below. Went with the Green Buffalo Plaid for fun!
The new setup seems like it shall still suffice for biz EDC when I need to wear a suit with tucked shirts/etc. But I gotta train with the new holster for a 1000 rds or so before I carry it with the new setup...

Many moons ago I lived in KCMO and I've always liked slap jacks so when this came up on GB cheap I had to get. Neat piece with KCMO and I'm guessing the officer who owned it name imprinted in strap. Doubt very much cops are allowed to carry these today - the horror - lol!
The black one was thrown in with it, I'll just have to fix the strap.

Got me a muzzle brake added to my Winchester Model 70 in .338 WINMAG. I hope it helps.

That aside a muzzle brake will help but that things gonna be loud.
