@not_benis I fortunately was smart (or lazy) and didn't locktight the scope rings so I can just flip it around. The mount was locktighted I did that yesterday because it came loose.

I'm gonna take it to a gunsmith and just let them deal with it. I sent Trijicon an email for screws. If the gunsmith can't or won't try I'll start desperate measures.

@not_benis I took a torch to it no joy, even got it to 220C.

That has legit ruined my week, and I could have just tightened the screws to 18 inch/lbs as they were and not moved the mount around and I wouldn't be out $350.

At least my scope is fine. Could reverse it but that just urks the shit out of me.

@not_benis I think It's steel and holes are stainless, really it was to melt the red locktight. I'll probably get a new mount.

Also now I want to get a new carry gun because I don't like shooting micro 9mms anymore, recommend me a pistol, requirement is that it can accept a laser optic and trigger is nice.

In the running

FN 45 Tactical
Walther PDP
LTT Beretta 92FS (https://langdontactical.com/products/guns/beretta-92-m9-series?page=1)
Sending my SP-01 Slide in for an optics cut
Sending in my SP-01 to cajun gunworks
CZ P10c
CZ Shadow 2 or whatever
Gucci 1911

@not_benis

I'm just throwing stuff at the wall, I don't know enough about Beretta to say why I wouldn't. I'm heavily considering a PDW brace tho.

@not_benis They're imported by IFG now. It would be weird carrying one of these. I probably am not going to go custom because I don't want to have tolerances too tight.

@not_benis They look like my SP-01, I want an optic, and also a brace.

I've decided on this

@not_benis

@not_benis

What red dot should I get. I have a few slots of picatinny to work with.

@0 @not_benis I'll just a micro acog on it

@splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network @0@gh0st.live @not_benis@cawfee.club as much as i hate china, the holosun eps carry is objectively like the best micro optic out there right now esp for the money

@shibao @not_benis @0

You hate China because you are Taiwanese.
I hate China because I'm Japanese. We are not the same.

Also their shit Alibaba VM was slow af when I was browsing. I'm probably going to get an Aimpoint Acro P2.

@splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network @not_benis@cawfee.club @0@gh0st.live i've been thinking of getting a steiner but it's worse than an eps in every single way :(

@0@gh0st.live @splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network @not_benis@cawfee.club i like smaller but last range trip i had trouble finding the dot, dunno if it was weaker cuz old battery and too sunny but i ended up actually using the circle reticle on my 507k. but honestly it doesn't really matter that much when you're actually training with it cuz when you're shooting splits reflexively with it you're basically just waiting to see it return to the field of view. that said, i like smaller dots, so i like the 1 moa dot. but ymmv

@0@gh0st.live @splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network @not_benis@cawfee.club yeah my hellcat has a 407k on it cuz it was cheap

@not_benis

Sight ordered bank account in shambles

@not_benis

It's a "pistol" in the shape of a "pistol caliber carbine".

Your European mind cannot comprehend.

@not_benis 4 inch is average...

@not_benis

I can't fit that in my laptop bag also the gun is $1.5k I'm not over paying for the optic.

@not_benis Beretta makes the 92fs
1301
and some over under shotguns
and the px4

we don't talk about anything else they make

@not_benis Nobody I knows that. But funny enough I wanted a Tikka before I got a 500

@not_benis Sir we drill unserialized blocks of aluminum and polymer round these parts.

@not_benis I plead the fifth.
