Picked up a G40 MOS gen 4, education required.

Let's see if I have it straight: Holosun "C" fits RMSc, and Holosun "K" fits RMR, correct?

I guess, lol. I've got the full glock plate set coming. Set 02.

Rmr just looked. Kit plate #6

Yep... I had it backwards and edited my original post.

SCS? I just looked at the one for the M&P ($349 on Amazon), but it looks like it sits too low for tall sights, which mine will have (not the end of the world, but... )... good for standard-height sights though.

I'm going to have to do more checking, but it looks like the shake-awake on my Viridian takes a couple of seconds... and it's a "soft start", i.e., the dot "fades" into view, so there may be the potential to draw and have to wait a second for the dot to fire up

I'm curious as to how the "shake" works... is it a mercury switch? Is it a vibration sensor? Clinometer? GPS? Would help to know so I can take a positive action to turn it on. Right now, I just bang the mag with my left palm when I draw

Good habit anyway. They can and will sometimes release on a carry gun due to the gymnastics of daily wear. One of the reasons I like shoulder or chest carry.

Especially since the 5926 has a "mag safety" : )

Test drove my home built holster. Did pretty good. Picked up some dirt from working around the new homestead. 100% secure.

Yep... as I've been saying, what's best and what can be hidden in your drawers are two different things : )

Doing all kinds of fun stuff today. These types of holsters are the bomb for outdoor adventures.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

The holster I got from Fathertime was missing the retention strap. Emailed them this afternoon about buying one, boom! Diamond D holsters is A1.

Pocket bazooka! How snappy is it??

For concealed carry, the Glock 30S is nice. The slide is the same width as the 9/40 slides. The frame is a Glock 30SF. Overall size is almost identical to a Glock 19 (except the frame is the slightly-wider Glock 30SF).
(Not to be confused with the Glock 36…)

If your new chest holster depends on the trigger guard for retention/lock, then the 30S should work. However, the slide area might “rattle” a bit since it’s slimmer than the 21 and 30, like a 19.

As for recoil, not snappy at all. Comparable to the 21 Gen4.

Thanks. Looking for one now. Figure with the grip sleeve and g21 mags it's a 19 slide,17 grip ish size. G30X?Fondled one at the gunshow grip was a bit short for me. Is there a Gen 3 model??

PLUS, you can throw on a windbreaker and you'd be good-to-go for grocery shopping in Florida... even in MIAMI! : )

Giving me IDEAS...

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

My adapter plates should arrive tomorrow!! Yeah! Get that optic mounted!

I think the 30S is considered a Gen 3.
I don’t think there is a slide marked “30S Gen 4”.

The 30S is kind of a hybrid. The slide is effectively off a 36, so it has a dual recoil spring setup like a Gen4 slide. The frame is effectively off a 30SF, which “was” a Gen3 itself but is discontinued now, I believe. All factory tweaked/matched up from Glock as the “30S”.

Your “30X” name is hilarious (and a fairly accurate comparison). Might actually become a thing one day. Just like Glock made the “30S” after a enough folks cobbled the slide off a 36 to the 30SF frame...

Postal service sucks! My plates were supposed to be here today! Grrrr.

Shoulda' bought an S&W... the one I ordered yesterday comes with SEVEN (?!?) plates. I'm gettin' the 4.25" 9mm, but here's the identical pistol in 10mm/4.6" that they had in stock. $500 after rebate (plus tax, tag, and title). I hit the lottery, I'LL have a 10mm, which will make a matched set (4" .22, 4.25" 9mm, and 4.6" 10mm), all with the same manual safety : )

10mm is only good if you reload or buy the spendy ammo underwood, buff bore. Factory 10mm sucks, might as well shoot 40 short an weak.

Yep... they had the 10mm, in stock, same price, but first there is the increased ammo cost, and next there is the question as to whether my hands can really handle and would like it. They are in constant pain, and grip-strength greatly diminished due to work injuries over 20 years ago. As I tell people: The only higher-powered pistol I would probably enjoy shooting is a Desert Eagle .357 (Just checked yesterday, they don't MAKE a 10mm for some reason : )
