I could recommend the Maven RS.4 for daytime, when sun drops or light locations are varying there are better ones.
But since I gave up long range shooting those things aren't my first focus.

Anyone seen these videos and what are your thoughts. THANKS!
I have several Glocks. I can't say I have experienced your issue and in fact I own a G26 and it is really small for me. But I have slightly large hands (makes playing guitar easier ). But I do know a better place to learn all things Glock called glocktalk.com.

A quick perusal found a couple places that will do this kind of stuff professionally. Not sure how long you would be without your gun and maybe spending an additional $185 on an inexpensive gun isn't appealing but here is a link to one such gunsmith doing this work.

Boresight is another good option. Their work is impeccable.

Like the last time people virtue signaled by "turning in their ARs" in the news, I decided I'm going to buy 2 to replace them. Started with this Sig MCX Virtus.

That brings me to 4 MCX variants!

Whoa, same color as your socks. That is proper accessorizing.

Pro gun here. Own multiple firearms. That being said, it is way too easy to purchase a gun. We need:

Mandatory training, written, and firing tests. If you're not accurate, you shouldn't own one;
Doctor's note of mental health check;
Waiting period minimum of 30 days; and,
Extensive background check even for private sales.

That's just a start. It bothers me that there's more paperwork to purchase a car than a firearm.
What do you think of the Texas law enabling anybody to carry a concealed weapon with no training or background check whatsoever?

Beautiful weapon.

Kicking myself somewhat for just selling my MCX Virtus pistol to fund some other…toys. They're great firearms.

What other variants do you have?

I like that. I'm going to build myself a frunk gun this year (…the equivalent of a truck gun, but for the 992's front storage ). It'll be a folding AR pistol and I'm going to cerakote portions of it Chalk Gray or make it black/Chalk Gray camo. I have yet to decide on caliber, but it will have an Elftmann PRO trigger, likely a FAXON barrel and BCG, and some Strike Industries goodies.

It doesn't bother me. That's what I think about it. Again, let's stay away from the politics and stick to discussions about the firearms themselves rather than the laws/politics surrounding them. We got away with it for quite some time and the mods made their point yesterday.

Has anyone been seeing almost a year lead time in getting AR parts? Atheris Rifle is claiming they can't get parts and some orders I've been reading about have been waiting over a year. I'm going on 10 months waiting for mine. According to Atheris mine has been at cerakote for 4 months now.

Only minutely. Most places I order parts from (….Optics Planet, Granite Ridge, RightToBear, Joe Bob outfitters, Strike Industries, FAXON, Radian, etc.) generally ship parts within a few days to a week. Every once in awhile a part may have an extended ETA backorder, but it's rare.

A Buddy of mine runs a really well known firearms company based here in California. About a month ago I stopped by and was able to fondle some grenade launchers (…that he cannot sell to me ). One is stand-alone and the other attaches to an AR platform rifle. I want one so bad.
