Simple enough to explain. In the US a gun is probably the most common first mod for all cars.

Can you still get the proper ammo for that? If so, $$$$.

Besides, I think in the UK you can only own shotguns, or a 22 rifle if you prove you hunt or are in a shooting club. No way you are owning a pistol.

Idaho you don't even need a permit to conceal carry. I have an advanced CC permit so I can legally carry from here to Texas. Wild west!

In the UK you can have a gun if you have blue blood running through your veins, no questions asked or you're a member of a bad boy gang. Otherwise we have to make do with knives.. or knuckles..

Yep, got it... it's a god thing we don't have freely available guns, as they would look even "meaner".. firing blanks all over the place!

Bought a ruger RXM in may... aka "How it started"







I had the frame ready to go off the bat before I even picked up the pistol but wanted to do an all american build so... aka How it's going so far






Just grabbed a light bearing holster for it so I took a pic last week and titled it "two things I have to hide in my pants"

How are you liking the RXM? I’ve had my eye on one and like the modularity of it, and the fact you can get one for pocket change and half a ham sandwich.

It's a gen 3 glock lol. The modularity is what got me. I already knew I wanted to do an "all american" build so that's what this monstrosity is but I kinda want another one for when the flux raider chassis gets released for it.

The only real downside is it's still a glock trigger so however you feel about that is how you're going to feel about the RXM. I did put an overwatch polydat in mine but it's only marginally better. If I want a baller trigger, I'll break out the canik.

Yeah I hear that lol. I don’t mind my PSA dagger but I like the option of grip modularity with the RXM. I don’t really mind the Glock trigger. I tend to like triggers with a short positive reset over weight and break(to a point). I do love the trigger in my Rival though. It’s one of the reason I have never been able to like CZ’s no matter how much I try, the reset is like driving across Texas.

So I've wanted a Shadow 2 purely out of principle and didn't like the feel of a P01 and P10 that I felt in a store but you saying that let's me know that trusting my instinct was the move.

One of the guys I work with bought a Shadow 2. The trigger is over then my Cajun Gun Works setup in my P09 but needs a lot more work to get the reset down. Kinda sad on a 1200 pistol.
