I gotta remember how to upload pics on here, so bad at that.  I've got a few new rigs but need to 1)take pics, 2)get them uploaded.  Anyways, I picked up an OWB for the shield and just recently a cheap AIWB to try with it too.  I wanted to get a basic model before I spent a lot of cash on something custom, but I think I like it.  May get one for the LCP instead when I do my custom order.

 

Also been using the AlienGear for the LCP and have a shield kydex part too, and really like it.  I don't even notice it's there actually. 

Little Brian and Big me both carry AIWB with full size guns. Get that little LCP shit outta here. 

You had to have taken that last picture. 

It stays Desmo-Brian. Let me make it very clear. While the EBR is a cool bike and I wish Erik all the success in the world, it isn't an 1199. It's cool, but unless something seriously drastic happens, I'll be staying with Ducati.

So what is the next Duc that you plan on doing up?

I think Tactical Texture has the best work out there.

A2 Stippling does great work to back straps.

enhancement is a great description.  

Although I think it is more real world training then combat style. 

Grip hold and recoil management are not 2 different things... grip has a huge effect on recoil management.. grip the gun too low, and you introduce a lot more muzzle flip; not enough driving force with the secondary hand, and the gun will recoil up, and to the weak hand side, reducing follow up shot timing and placement; weak grip, or wrists, and you can introduce muzzle fip, or drop, along with malfunctions; etc... 

 

In my limited training, I never once encountered an instructor who told me that I should add any sort of grip enhancers to my guns... rather, they told me that I needed to work on my grip structure... thumb placement, 60/40 grip, higher purchase on the pistol, etc...

 

I am not against making the gun work for you, and if something you change (including stippling/texture) makes you a better shot... Awesome on you! 

 

 

 

 

This... at least you are honest about it... if its "cool" for you... have fun... but think about the replacement cost of a receiver/frame if you don't like it later...

I don't know what pistol you are thinking of stippling, but it ran me around $150 from Glock direct for a replacement G17 Gen3 reciever... (replaced for a different reason, not because of stippling)

The receiver is generally a FFL item, and to replace it involves the paperwork to go with it...

Poor choice of wording on my part. 

Your correct, grip is a huge part or recoil management.

I was assuming or thinking that when most people say they can grip a gun tight they are talking about just when they grab a hold of it not actually going out shooting it, trying to control recoil. I.E. oh this gun feels good in my grip standing at the gun counter, not actually taking it out to the range. 

I have seen pictures of handguns from many top instructors. Defore, Vickers, Costa, Mcnamara, Hackathorn, Haley and it seems most of the time their polymer guns have extra texturing. 

Hell I might stop by to take some pictures and poke fun at everyone. 

Not a fan.  Kills resale value, too.

My Glock  sold for more then I paid. 

Had a glock 17 that the PO had stippled, rounded the trigger guard, etc... I don't know where it was done, but it was done "professionally"

I shot the g17 side by side with a factory stock g17...

Unfortunately I gave up the glock to trade into an AR platform, so I no longer have a stippled pistol

 

My thoughts: Unless you are planning on playing navy seal, and swimming/wading through slime infested water, all while expecting an assailant to attempt to rip the gun out of your hands... its not really worth it.

 

Work on your grip technique, stance, awareness skills, etc before worrying about trying to melt millions of holes in the polymer of your gun. - I was amazed how strongly I could hold a standard polymer frame with wet hands, once i was trained on good grip techniques.

 

A lazy grip on a gun is a lazy grip, with or without added texture.

I find follow up shots to be better. It does happen to get quite warm and humid in ohio. I'm fat so I tend to sweat. No Navy SEALing. 

Hold a grip and controlling recoil are 2 different things. 

I hate it.. not worth it IMO.. if there was added benefit then the company would make a model with that done to it...

There are Glocks, and M&P's with extra texturing from the factory, plus all manufactures have some sort of texturing, some more then others. 

Once we get our FFL, We will be doing some stippling services.

You see most of mine pictures already lol

works very well once you get it set up. 

Just do it. 

Been using the plex app alot on my Roku and android devices. 

Been awesome so far!

Wish I could get the local stuff with an antenna, but it's a no go in my location. 

Guy on supermotojunkie, who has it now was hoping to find the previous owner to get more info on the bike. He bought it from a dealer in Akron. 

That is 3 so far. 

How else is lurking. 

So how many are down for the 18th? I'm off that day and have shot like twice this year. 

That is awesome!

I might be there. If they provide hookers and blow. 

Triumph has oil filter location down pat (minus the pulling fairings thing). 

 hated those stupid little plastic screws at the bottom. 

not suprised. Never seen him on the tv

Maybe, but I sorta doubt it. The production and broadcast costs to get it on a mainstream TV network are astronomically high, and I doubt even the new organizers have that kind of coin, Dorna or no Dorna. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but we may have to settle for webcasting, at least in the short term. On the bright side, that cuts out the annoyance of poorly timed commercial breaks...

I dont have cable to webcasting is okay with me!

That would be a great way to think about growing the championship now, in the future though, you are going to have to look at going with a Moto2/3 setup otherwise your going to see just another great championship like the BSB. Which I am sure is what DORNA does not want. Big picture has to look like the Spanish CEV, there's at least one reporter in every press conference asking why there are no more Americans and why the Spanish and Italians seem to be ruling the Motogp championships. Simple answer, the CEV. It offers every opportunity in the world for young riders to excel in the sport and it rewards young talented riders. This is what DORNA wants and why I believe they got involved with an American road racing series. If the riders get rewarded so will they, financialy of course.

Secondly, Moto2 and Moto3 machines are actually affordable. More affordable than most think. You can pick up a used Moto2 bike for anywhere between $60,000 and $90,000 that may even be cheaper now than I last checked now that the CEV series has flooded the market. And Moto3 bikes are about half of that. And if you follow both series you know that it is very rare that anyone gets away in those races. The racing is always close, offering an opportunity for anyone to run at the front.

moto2 and 3 are are some of my fav. races. 

What products can you use to clean the wheels after they've been plasti dipped?

I dont mine a few months ago on my subi.

I have hand washed, car washed and brush washed them. 

I might have to show up to one of those since I havent shot in like 8 years. 

nice shots!

If your short you can shoulder the wrist brace ask me how i know lol (trex arms)

shit I used to shoulder my pistol tube. 6'2
