I don't know what appropriate category holster stuff should go into so.......
@HEX maybe there should be a gun/shooting gear section? Ammo/accessories has only ammo related threads and range/carry gear seems out of place in there.
Anyhoo..... picked this up of the doorstep yesterday:
It is...
Anybody have one? Opinions? There was a classified post where someone sold one but no other threads it seems.
In any case when I picked up my Carry Comp a few weeks ago I was checking out a Bodyguard 2.0 they had in stock. I was impressed!
Until I saw one in person I didn't see any point to...
Finally with the arrival of my Ironside convertible IWB/OWB holster from T-Rex Arms I can Finally put the S&W Carry Comp Compact into my carry rotation.
Currently the holster is in IWB configuration and it is actually extremely comfortable that way, so much so that the only time I'd bother...
Well this was a short lived thread. Nevertheless I thank @S&W Fan for bringing it up as it motivated me to get my own hobo knife and I have found it extremely useful these last few months.
In fact I would add it ti the list of essential items for a trucker to keep in the truck.
I would also...
I replaced the factory 16lb recoil spring with this. It's a triple nested progressive rate setup. 10lbs at full extension, 15lbs at full compression. I didn't buy it so much for the recoil reduction but to reduce the significant barrel dip when the slide slams home. It accomplished this and...
My LGS had one of these and I was playing around with it when I was picking up my Carry Comp. It's very cool but for 1.8k you could get a proper 5.56 pistol/sbr. If they got rid of tge ridiculous foregrip thing and if someone came up with a drop leg holster for it I think this would be more...
My Shield Plus is my constant every day companion. I very rarely go about unarmed and it's usually the Shield I have on me though I have been carrying the 586 L-Comp regularly too, in my down time. During the work week it is always the Shield in the Galco Miami Classic Lite.
It is my strong...
Is there something in the water, air or soil in Russia that makes them mot only pathological liars but also so pathetically unconvincing about it?
I mean this is tge same country that is sending untrained and inept personel with rusty, decades old rilfes right?
And I'm expected to be impressed...
I seem to have developed an unhealthy abusive relationship with S&W. They abuse my trust and I come crawling back for more.
That is the power of an appealing product I suppose. In fact I would like to make the next purchase the controversial 10mm Performance Center. Apparently all they need...
Wow, nothing huh? Well if anyone were in the market for a new M&P I think this would be the one to get. Unless you have sensitive fingers/hands.
Also highly recommend the EPS dot and the TRL-HX too
Now that it has been zeroed and vetted, not one hint of a hiccup BTW, I can put it into service in the duty rotation. Indeed it is now the go to sidearm.
I will be ordering the Irornside OWB holster from T-Rex Arms which can also be made into an IWB by attaching it to an Alcantara backer. I...
I put 500 rounds through it in about 2 hours of shooting. The loads used were MagTech 124gr FMJ standard pressure, Federal HST 124gr +P jHP and Winchester 124gr NATO FMJ.
I started out with slow fire on paper to get the excellent EPS Red dot zeroed. It required very little adjustment...
Smith & Wesson Military & Police Compact Carry Comp. That's a very long name.
Anyway, also on the gun is a Holosun EPS mounted on a DPP Titanium plate and the Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X. All three of these items are pretty new on the market.
It also came with a nice cleaning kit:
It's a very...
Those are for competition and/or range use though, which is fine. For a carry gun I think there are more suitable options, not to say you couldn't CC a fun with these optics on rather that they are sub optimal for that purpose.
As I play around with it and learn more about it I really think the...
I've never heard of them before. I get the impression they have been operating for a long time as an OEM supplier that has recently decided to market their wares direct to the public as well.
They seem to have a good variety of sights and I appreciate that they offer multiple heights for use...
So I just found out the manufacturer of the sights on the Carry Comp, Night Fision, offers not one but TWO different heights of sights for use with red dots. Why S&W did not include taller sights to begin with is beyond me. The intermediate height will suit my needs perfectly.
A set costs...
The Army Tactical Missile System is not a weapons system in of itself, it is a munition that either the track based M270A1 MLRS or the smaller wheeled version, the HIMARS, can fire.
The graphic in the article is incorrect, the HIMARS can only hold and fire 1 ATACMS at a time before reload, the...
I found the info I was looking for!
https://freedomgorilla.com/blogs/news/how-red-dot-optics-co-witness-with-suppressor-height-sights
That sight picture is acceptable to me. Dawson precision has a variety of suitable sets including a plain black set which I think would be my preference. I...
Nice piece. I have been on the fence about getting an M&P 2.0 for some time and the Carry Comp finally pushed me over. The Carry Comp is just a gussied up 2.0 in the end.
The EPS seems like a very nice optic, fully enclosed without having what seems like a mailbox atop the slide and the view...
I wish he was here to see my new rig, I think he'd really dig it. Especially once I get the TRL-7 HL-X on.
He was always one for the latest and greatest tech.
Y'know, I have been operating under the assumption that the EPS Carry was intended for use on slimline guns like P365, Shield, G43 ect, and that the wider EPS was meant for full width double stack guns. Observing tge way the EPS overhangs the top contour of the Carry Comp's slide I'm wondering...
The DPP plate while thin does not allow for a co-witness with these sights.
In fact even with a direct mount I don't think I'd be able to see more than the very top edge of the irons. I shoot the gun for awhile while I decided if I really want a co-witness. If I do I'll get some plain black irons.
The line between brave or dumb is a fuzzy one and may be entirely dependent on one's point of view.
My view is that these audits can serve a usefull purpose if done properly, can be counterproductive if done improperly and is a brave act if the individual recognizes and accepts the risks of...
I ended up getting an adapter plate from a company called DPP, a quick search revealed no real complaints and word is that the DPP Titanium plate is thin enough to just allow for co-witness on standard height sights. Also a litter cheaper at $40. Oh I have settled on the EPS, seems like one of...
I think I'm just gonna purchase from my LGS so whichever model EPS they have available. The ones on display were all the solar ones and they are asking $395 for those.
Given my druthers I'd prefer without the solar and I'm thinking of trying a green dot. I really like a green fiber optic front...
The T-Rex Ragnarok is an excellent holster, I have one for my G19. I do think it's better suited for range or competition use, or open carry situations but that might just because I have it on a Tech Mount which has it sticking out from tge belt a bit.
I'll start with the plates but I see that CH also can modify the factory cut to allow for direct mounting of the optic and at a cost that seems cheaper than a new set of tall sights.
And yeah, the TRL-7 HL-X is what I'm targeting. The Carry Comp has an overall slide length that is the same as a...
Hokay, did my research. The EPS series are a low profile optic designed for direct to slide mount applications. The EPS Carry uses the Holosun K footprint for use on slimline guns such as the Glock 43, Shield, P365 ect. The EPS (just EPS, no carry or any other follow on nomenclature) is an...
Okay so I am not super up on the latest Holosun offerings.
first of the Carry Comp Compact is a full double stack G19 sized gun, actually it longer with a 3.9" barrel and tge comp bringing the slide length to an equivalent 4.25" length.
@nortatoga- is tge SCS the no battery solar only optic...
Necro thread time! But it's okay as long as it's new and relevant info right? Honestly I don't give a shit either way, y'all not even my real dad!
Anyways I have ordered the new S&W Carry Comp Compact and will have enough money for a red dot out the gate.
I'm thinking either a Holosun 507 or...
