I guess we'll have to get more into the definition of "affixed" and "attached" to see where this platform goes.

YouTube killed the Sig brace. I'll never own one of those. Just because it "says" it's not a stock doesn't do it for me. I can sell you an A2 shaped meat tenderizer, but just because you pound your abalone with it doesn't make it not a stock if used as one.

They did ask me... please don't post YouTube videos. Lol

They have an BATFE letter stating that because the platform doesn't attach or affix to the firearm, they don't have any opinion about it as it doesn't fall under their jurisdiction. They describe it akin to shooting sticks. It's hard to see in my shitty pictures, but this thing is stamped "Reno Police" all over it. If there is a grey area, hopefully this helps sway any final decisions.

I thought about this a little. I feel there's some need for customization here. A new stock and a single point sling are a must for me. I feel I can put on the sling and have the platform dangle under my left arm. I can draw with my right hand and bring the platform to my pistol with my left hand. This will take some form and application. I'll keep you all updated on how it works.

a. You're absolutely right about that... Not to mention the fact that I'm scared to death of her. b. It definitely looks weird c. You most definitely ARE going to shoot it.

I don't remember which of you bastiches put this on the forum. I can't find it anywhere... Never the less, here's more! So I'm strolling through the closest "free" Gun Show I can still attend. The "Big Reno (NV) Gun Show" is about a two hour drive for me, and a quarterly trip I make with my father and cousin. My wife usually joins me, but with all the kids we have now she backed out of this trip. Like I was sayin... I'm strolling through the gun show, yakkin with my cousin about God knows what, when I stumble my dumbass across a booth, "Wait! I know this thing!!" Immediately I recognize this device. I know it was one of YOU (I think I'm placing the blame on Jon or Mike, as they are usually the most frequent offenders of finding weird shiit). Of course the guy behind the counter (Sam T.) sees my interest is peaked, and he saunters over. We chop it up a bit, and I explain to him that I no-shittin JUST learned about this from some miscreants online. We continue to chop it up and I play and play with all the different toys they have on the table. He explains the whole process to me and the hows and whys. I think it's an awesome plan. I'M NOT GONNA LIE... i was more than skeptical at first. The immensity of the grip was a little off putting, but after playing a bit, I actually found the size of the added grip helped in the control. My first thought was I would take off a little material here and there, but as I played with it, it got more comfortable.... and the stuff is so sturdy, I'm not sure my dremmel would be enough to do the job. This thing is not only robust, but I think you can beat a guy with this if needed. This is about the time when Robert G. comes over. This guy is more excited to talk about this product, than 98Z5V is about crazy women trying to break his shiit. I can tell right away that this guy has a bit more interest in the product besides just slinging the things. I find out right away that he's the designer and originator of the device. Besides being the big brain, he turns out to be one hell of a guy... We talk about guns, optics, police shiit, more about the shooting platform... Unfortunately they don't make a platform for my P227 TacOps (YET!!!) but he wasn't going to let me walk away... "Do you own a Glock?".... Well, technically my wife (also LE) has a G17, so "Yes I do." So there you have it. I picked up a new G17 APS platform, and I am ALL TOO STOKED to try this fuker out! So, while i only have the little 9mm to try this out... I think it's really going to shine when I put it on Bubba's G20SF 10mm! This is going to make a pistol into a 200 yard PDW! Hell, I might even be brave enough to shoot some of crazy Mike's hot loaded 10mm with this. i have to play with this a little still. I think a new stock is in order (I needed a reason to buy another MFT Minimalist stock). Deploying it is a bit awkward at first, but only because you are using two hands to control a pistol and the APS platform at the same time. Once I started getting the hang of it, it started getting smoother. A short, single point, sling mounted to the rear of the stock would be perfect. Let it hang when not in use, and easily recover it when ready to deploy. Needless to say, I have a Sig P227 version coming in a few weeks too. I can't let the wife have all the fun. With the right stock and sling, this is getting dumped in my motorcycle saddle bag right away. I'm going to try my damnedest to get Robert G. to join up here. I look forward to seeing what comes next. Not only that, but this guys appears to know more shiit than he's able to disclose. I'll bet he's got the scoop on some super top secret squirrel shiit, just based on his evasiveness during our banter.... Definitely a good guy to know and have around. Best quote from the wife was... "So... I put my pistol in that thing... then I slap in my 30 round mag and let her rip!" <--- LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!

There are two fires about 1 hour from me. They joined today, making a 160 sq. mile fire.... that's insane.

I'll be damned. Maybe I'll be famous one day, and that tattoo of my name on Shepp's buttcheek will be worth something?

I think Farkle grabbed one of these last year.it got pretty rave reviews.

Welcome from CA. I think you're our first (admittedly) AR15 Podcast listener. I'm glad to see I was heard by someone outside the normal riff raff we keep around here. Lol.

Can you fit both of them in a sonic wash at the same time?

Double/triple check beforehand: 1. safety/selector functions properly 2. bcg locks back manually 3. bcg goes into battery under its own power 4. bolt strips, chambers and ejects a live round Pew pew pew

I have to admit... my Walther PPK/s gets a lot more attention just because it's a Walther PPK/s.

XDs 9mm 3.3 here. In my personal opinion, this is the greatest defensive carry pistol on the market. • 9mm • low profile, single stack frame • 7/9 rounds • striker fired • fiber optic front sight The finger extension on the mag will always make it place higher than the G43. Still using the original paddle holster. Perhaps a G-code in the future.

Affordable: Mossberg MVP Thunder Ranch Not so affordable: McMillan "ALIAS"

Poor Beach is getting dropped in San Francisco during the VERY colorful "Folsom Street Parade"... poor guy will never make it.

Mine are on back order. I'll cancel and order from you if I can?

No offense brother. I got nothing but love for you bro. You couldn't even offend me if you pointed and laughed while I offered a pants down hug. I was just trying to give an in depth reason for why "I" used the attachment points I chose. Like I suggested, make the rear section 6"-9" longer and the front section 6" shorter, and I'd be PERFECT. Not going to lie.... I'm spoiled by this adjustable buckle. I know you used to use them. I actually ordered a couple for the slings I already have.

Jacob. You and I talked about this a bit in the past. As a LE Tactical Rifle instructor, I have very specific reasons for why I use certain techniques. As a lifelong hunter, I have adapted my LE technique to take advantage of everything my dad taught me growing up. The forward attached sling position allows me to wrap my arm and cinch the sling to make a more stable firing platform. When I stowe the rifle, after a transition, the forward mount turns into a high point behind my shoulder. While muzzle up isn't ideal, the weight distribution makes a secure seat on my back. I can stowe and redeploy my rifle without having to remove the sling from its cross-body position. You simply rotated the rifle in the direction of the sling. This was taken directly from hunting. The rear attachment is for faster tactical engagements in a CQB environment. While my old hunting rifles were mounted at the toe of the stock, I was never worried about clearing a building or pieing a doorway while stalking bambi. On my tactical rifles I choose a sling point as close to the rear of the receiver as possible. I have used Troy adapters that attach around the castle nut, QD receiver plates, KAC stock extenders and lower receivers with integrated rear QD points. The purpose for the rear attachment at the end of the receiver is to shoulder transition without removing the sling. If I button hook a doorway, I can transition shooting sides faster. In competition, it is found that you can switch shoulders without switching hands, thus shaving precious seconds from ones score. While this crossover style isn't the most accurate, it's damn fast, and with a little practice, it's accurate enough.

"I heard the sniper shooting at me." Said no successful target, ever.

What about glue? Ps. I can count to potato!

I honestly haven't even touched one yet. I may be screwing myself here. I carried a P226 for over 10 years, and this P227 is supposed to be comparable. 14+1 .45acp is a nice bonus. LEO are exempt from certain (not all) firearm restrictions.

Lol... not you Stain... haha
