Can't decide which I like better - competition sights or an RMR mount. Which do you guys prefer? P.S. Anyone have any good recommendations for a holster (repro safariland model etc.) that would fit an RMR mounted like this plus an X300?

Loving the shooters belt from Deadly Customs! Got a lot of recommendations from the forum members here and went ahead with this option a few months ago. The holster and pouches are for my Glock but too lazy to get it out of storage for pics - so just shoved a 1911 in (and it fits!) Really wanted to go all grey on the magazine pouches but they seemed pretty hard to get so had to substitute the Kywi for black. I saw some competition shooters in the US use Kywi's up front, and pouches with a bit of an angle towards the rear, so tried to copy that setup. Clockwise - DC universal Glock holster (QLS), DC dump pouch, DC shooter's double stack pouch, Kywi double stack pouch

Took almost a year and a lot of planning to source everything, but finally finished my grail build - the Springfield Armory Professional ---------------------------------------------- Fun fact : The late-model versions of the MEU such as the Tokyo Marui or Guarder replicas are based on this version of the 1911. The USMC took base model Springfield Professional models and modified it to fit their own requirements. These included things such as adding the lanyard loop and forward slide serrations. The photo below of an actual MEU pistol shows how the slide sports the forward serrations added by the USMC's armorers, which was cut over the "custom shop" lettering from the Springfield factory. Another interesting thing is that the slide and frame seem to be a different color. This was because the frame was the original "Black-T" finish from the factory, while the slide was refinished/parkerized after cutting the front slide serrations. I really wanted the original professional model (RS example, left), but the only similar option available without the front slide serrations was the Guarder Bureau model (RS example, right). They both are essentially the same gun, but the latter was a marketing ploy by Springfield after they won the contract for the FBI HRT's sidearm. They slathered a bunch of FBI lettering and even used FBI in the serial numbers to really let you know this was a cool gun chosen by the FBI. After about 40 or so of these were manufactured and sold as the "Bureau Model" the FBI put a hard stop for their name being used in branding. Due to this, these were extremely rare, and the RS ones can go for 5,000+ USD; I assume that Guarder chose to produce the Bureau Model instead of the bare-bones Professional due to this rarity and backstory. But still, I really wanted the original model since both the USMC's MEU and the FBI's "Bureau Model" both were based on the Professional. Which brings us back to the fun fact in the first photo: The MEU is the Professional model, with forward serrations added - This gave me an idea. If the forward serrations were skipped from being added on Guarder's MEU slide, it would be exactly what I wanted. So I pitched this idea to Guarder, with fingers crossed that they would accept something like this. And by some miracle, they accepted to do the custom order! And here it is! The only airsoft SFA professional. It was such a long project to complete I now can't exactly remember why I wanted a Professional in the first place, but extremely happy on how it came out. Everything is correct to original Pro model specs, but I never could source the magwell.. Any SOA fans out there? While researching for this project I found that Jax teller's main sidearm was also a Professional

That color combo is really nice. Shame that Guarder seems to have stepped away from making OD frames for the gen 4

Another jigsaw puzzle Guarder G19 - steel edition! ---------------------------------------------- Really like the forced barrel tilt and 15mm cylinder that was added in the G19 design. What I didn't really like was the velvety matte black finish that came with the steel slide, so I took a brass brush and some polishing compound and carefully carded most of it off. Not sure how this will affect the corrosion resistance (if there's any left at this point), but really like how the slide is a lighter shade of grey than the frame much like the real steel models prior to the new deep black nDLC finish. Referenced pics of heavily used police trade-in Glocks that have a worn-in tenifer/frying-pan finish and tried to match the dark grey and metallic sheen. Not quite 1:1 but still like how it turned out. Now to get some more weathering on it by using the sh*t out of it? This is the Guarder finish that comes as stock. Guarder calls it "P-process" but I've read that its some form of QPQ finish. It's a flat black/dark grey and the texture feels almost parkerized. If there's any metal experts out there please educate us on what this finish is. Below is an RS example of a heavily worn police trade in gen 3. The light grey hue is more from the reflection at certain angles On a side note, a company called RST does produce a true-to-spec tenifer finished steel slide for Marui G19's (seen below) but for the price (£100 vs £1,000) I don't think you can really do better than Guarder..

Jokes aside, Glocks without light rails are the shit. Really nice looking one you got there!

Is that one of those porcelain slides I keep hearing about?

Playing around with some editing trying to make it look like an ad? Can you smell the Americana coming through the screen

Damn. I thought it would've been 3d printed... Like it would come out of a whirring machine all in one piece Looking at the build it looks like it's all crafted from flat bits of plastic

Sorry for stealing the pic @alxndrhll but I saw the flannel and jeans and had to do it lol

Guarder's anodizing (they call it PQP?) always looks good as it ages and weathers. Not sure how they do it... Really nice looking sig

That is nice. Wonder how the P80 frames scallop the mag release area so much without grinding through the frame

How are you liking the Guarder complete frame set? I'm thinking of trying a full Guarder Glock like this myself By the way why does the outer barrel have a different serial number??

That makes sense! Still curious how massive the gas cylinder must be to reciprocate the action like that though

Someone with some serious engineering skillz made a functioning Lynx gbbr. Have you ever seen recoil like this (out of a tiny little glock mag no less)?????
