wow things have changed since 2012

As a lover of .40 and Glock 23's... Let me know what you want for one if you decide to sell!

If you told me in 2012 that people would be scalping plastic polymer nine Glocks in 2026, I’d laugh at you.

There’s someone on here trying to sell a G23.3 for $1,000…

There is a book called The Event by Schlicter (spelling). It is fictional book that has an attack on American soil by sleeper cells who crossed the US Mexico border. When the USA decides to take revenge on the heads of the event, the calling card to indicate it was America without saying it was America was to kill them with .45 ACP caliber.

Sounds like something Kurt Schlichter would have written? I couldn't find "The Event" on Amazon though. I may listen to the audio book.

I've seen some and laughed.... Then cried after realizing I sold my 23 for a 17 back in 2016, then traded the 1711 for a RIA 1911 with a bunch of Wilson Combat parts on it. What I could have got for those now and what I would do to go back and keep them both... Oh well. Glad we at least kept the wife's 26

JJ is insane. Ridiculous with irons.

He hosting classes in CA this coming winter.

I was in one of his classes last year shooting irons. I'm signed up for his classes at RRGC this winter, probably shooting optics this time or might trade off one of the days with irons.

My bad. It’s called The Attack. Will fix my post in case others look for it.

Mischief Machine grip module and Powder River Precision trigger kit helped me keep it.

Ordered a Mischief Machine grip module for Echelon from @DesertDepotArms on Friday afternoon and got it this morning.

Was considering selling my Echelon but now I’ll keep it.

I bet, but I'm not throwing another 400~500 dollars at a gun I paid 550 for. Those grips do look cool, but that's another gun price.

I thought the stock echelon comp was good, but I have SUCH a bad taste in my mouth from a terrible experience with Tyrant CNC about their trigger I haven’t even shot it in 2 months and it’s sitting in my safe partially inoperable. They admitted they screwed up and didn’t test their trigger with a new variant of the mag release which caused interference that prevented reset and damaged my trigger, but refuse to refund me despite the acknowledgement in writing and “apology”.

The PRP spring kit was excellent but the Tyrant trigger rendered the gun unusable and I lost the damn tiny trigger return spring when disassembling (which Springfield doesn’t sell separately) so I have to ship it to Springfield to get them to fix it. Very frustrating, I’m thinking I might try the PRP trigger
