    Very much quieter and way less recoil, too with the can. Only down side is it gets pretty long at the end of a 24" barrel. Oh well, can't have it all.

    Put 3 mags through Christensen Ranger 22lr yesterday in between the wind gusts trying to get it dialed. Good enough till I can get it on a bench. CCI std velo. SWR suppressor. ~27 yards. Impromptu session from the tractor shed.

    I don't care for sig sauers striker fired pistols their hammer fired have been excellent
    But I do like sig optics
    One of my Romeo 0 pistol red dots stays on it's supposed to shut off IMG_20250318_150039871.jpg
    So I called customer service
    And they immediately said send pics of all angles of the sight and we'll send you a new one
    And they offered me 50% off a more expensive version
    But I like this one
    All I had to do was x out the scan code and send pics and a new optic is on the way.

    I wanted a lightweight slim 4" 9mm
    They are just easier to handle and shoot accurately IMG_20250325_184854927.jpg
    I found these arex delta gen 2 made in Slovenia on sale for 265.00 15rnd flush mag and 17rnd extended
    It's a tack driver at 20yds and has a very very crisp double action trigger
    Probably 6lbs
    IMG_20250325_184954631~2.jpg
    It's quite a bit lighter and slimmer than Glock 19/23,smith m&p compact and ruger rxm IMG_20250325_185157440~4.jpg
    It fits several of my glock holsters IMG_20250325_185136581.jpg
    AREX DEFENSE Delta 2 9mm 4ʺ 17rd - FDE & Black | KYGUNCO
    I think it's one of the best deals around
    Tons of positive videos on YouTube.

    I see it's got changeable backstraps. Is the one on there one of the thickest? That's quite a hump...

    Yes it has 4 different sized back straps included IMG_20250322_133751165.jpg
    I prefer the largest it makes for the most comfortable striker fired pistol I own

    You can replace the grip module with any color or capacity that you'd like.

    Hope to christen Saturday. Dunno if I'll get the chance. I need a dedicated range day sometime soon. For a couple 7.62x39 rifles.

    Not familiar with 6mm GT. Is that a wildcat, or a 'new' round?

    It's SAAMI approved since ~2020. Short action, standard bolt face, at little more powder than 6 BR and a little less than 6 Creedmoor.

    I've been eyeing the arex a while. One of these days I won't have all of my $ earmarked for other things and just buy one.

    Nice stick. George and company have a great product. Is that the PRS production rifle? If so that's a heck of a deal for what it is. I have a few of his works.

    Yep, 2024 GAP PPR. It's been super fun platform to learn on. I liked it so much, I ordered a 6mm Creedmoor hunting rig from them. I can't wait for that to arrive.

    Busy, my 13 year old talked me into going into the firewood business. Was supposed to be a side hustle and it is almost a full time gig. It could be if we had more time.
