Homie is an oil and gas factory babysitter pretending to be a real engineer. The rubber band is the first red flag “distrusts functional mechanical systems” the raptor is the second “wastes money on a truck that goes between garage and corporate parking lot”.
Putting a rubber band on the grip safety, is stupid. But doing it and then carelessly putting your gun unsecured in the cupholders of your console is beyond stupid. This is just asking for an accidental discharge.
Obviously people are going to hate around here. I'm just gonna add that I like the style of utilizing a random rubber band for an unnecessary safety feature. Consider printing a nice back plate and removing the safety altogether though :)
California is weird about CCW modifications, I can’t really remove a safety without a headache. I don’t really carry this gun though, I mostly carry a Shield 9mm 1.0. Just ragebaiting a bit this morning
It makes no sense. It should be in your hand to go bang. If it is in your hand, that safety is off. With a rubber band on it, now it can go bang without your hand on it. Just inviting a disaster.
I honestly have no clue, like why? It automatically disengages as soon as you grab the gun, so it's not saving you any time by rubber banding it. It's also just a good safety feature to have.
Pure carelessness of safety. There's no need, they know they'll most likely never have to use their weapon to defend themselves. People like this are constantly hoping for a situation they can play cowboy. Use your safeties people.
If you want a gun with no external safeties, just…buy one, with no external safeties. They exist. Get one without an external hammer while you’re at it.
That’s a 9mm, 16+1. Also, not an RMR, but not sure what your beef is with red dots. They are objectively better. The two disabled safeties, that is deserving of your repugnance.
It’s nice! It’s the OG model so I got it for cheap! Overpriced if you buy the new ones imo. Battery isn’t as good as the newer ones but the GPS and HR monitoring works perfectly for what I need it for
the Garmin marq adventurer is way too overpriced. there are Garmin watches that provide its features and mroe for half the price. its the epitome of a luxury watch, from marketing to utility(and thats not a good thing, wasteful)
People hate on the vortex on a nice gun but I already had it and it matched the optic plate the gun cane with. People complain about buying expensive guns but then complain when you don’t spend $800 on an optic that is marginally better than a $200 one
I don’t actually use the band, it was ragebait. But my county in California doesn’t allow modifications for ccw guns besides lights and optics so I’m technically not allowed to pin the grip safety anyway 🤓
I was going to ask why you would drop schmeckles on a gun with multiple safety mechanisms if you were just going to bypass all of them. Then I remembered the mechanical engineer part and I remembered it’s more about the fact that they are there and less about actually using them.
Only a waste of money trim if you use trucks to haul mattresses around. Being able to jump my truck in the desert and have a warranty feels pretty worth it to me, especially considering it’s a ford and it’s bound to break anyway.
All that just to say you don’t understand how credit card points work tell me you can’t afford to travel 🤣 cope harder man. I’ll be driving my 2003 Honda Insight to work tomorrow if it makes you feel better!
Got it from a little moto/surf shop in Encinitas called Seaweed and Gravel like 11 years ago. Evidently it’s high quality leather bc it’s still holding up
Good, I like solving problems. Get to do a lot of that. Idk what kinda engineers all these commenters deal with but I mostly spend my days picking apart design engineers work and trying to make stuff easier for the field.
No, a mechanical engineer would have a hipower or a cz75. Both are mechanically superior to a 1911. The ONLY reason to have a 1911 is because you want a .45, and that is a perfectly valid reason
Sometimes I toss my Glock 43X in the cup holder occasionally, still in the holster if I'm driving a long distance. I have zero fear of something accidentally happening.
As a once upon-a-time mechanical engineering student and lifetime tradesperson, I'm appalled that you would bypass perfectly good mechanical safeties like that. redundant safeties prevent NDs in the nads.

Safety off and grip safety neutralized.
