I’m sure it’s been asked in here already, but what Safariland holster is everyone running? I have a 6360 right now and have a Faxon barrel and comp to put on my G45 now. Taking the plug and screw out of the bottom won’t allow my pistol to fully insert, so I guess I’d need to take a heat gun to it and try to reform the end. My understanding is the 6360 is the same holster for 17s and 19s, just one has a plug in it for the reduced length of the 19. Is there a different holster that would allow it to fit without having to reform the holster? Or is there a holster available with ALS or similar retention that would work? Edit: Pictures make the world go round.

Never heard of a Roland Special until after I already had this one built. Kinda funny how people will lay claim to an idea that so many others came up on their own as well. Since this is an 80% Arms GST-9, I guess it's double-faux-land special!

Finally put together a Roland with some small tweaks to my preference this thing is FUN... I see it being a regular in the range rotation. Haven't taken any decent shots yet, here's a quick one after I got the frame back from Boresight.

The GST-9 frame is about the only part of that gun that doesn’t scream “Why would I buy a [brand that offers industry standard quality and reliability] when I could buy four [sub-standard knockoff brand] for the same price?” |

Rained all day today. Hoping to do some sxs comparison with my stock 29 tomorrow. |

Well I finally made the plunge, this is probably about as cheap as it gets without getting a dagger. Between all the sales and parting out the old oem slide i had on my p80 I have about 350 in the gun plus 55 for the arc divison comp and 31 on the angry bear arms buis(really nice for the price on first impressions) Only a couple of years late to the party , I remember looking at this thread 5 years ago. One of these days I need to get a actual glock lol Attached File |

Shot my comped gun today, ran fine with 115 and 124 using stock gen 3 rsa, I have the short arc-m comp so nothing crazy but the effect was noticeable , does help keep the dot in the window without having to death grip the gun. Tried to limp wrist it as well and didn't get it to choke so I am pretty happy. I think the arc compensators are quite nice for the sub 70 dollar price point they seem to always be at. |
My work in progress  Gen4 G19 PD trade-in picked up a while ago. KKM combo out of the EE recently. GPT with factory curved trigger shoe Tested with some factory ammo 115gr, 124gr, and 124 NATO and it has ran good so far for a couple 100rds. Debating how far to go on slide milling. Considering MapleLeaf CCW package with front and top serrations or just basic cut with or without refinishing to get it back quicker and less cost. Alternativelt thinking a Brownells slide with my factory internals could be a good option |
