I realize what I wrote might have been a little confusing. My G19 is fine. My M&P 9mm fullsize is garbage. Bar-Sto still doesn't have anything for us. Apex Tactical was working with them but the project has stalled out.

Because the firearm is functional. They won't replace it. "Unreasonable accuracy" is not a valid warranty issue.
Guys I need an IWB holster that will conceal my P226. Need to have it by next week. Would Alien even be an option or should I just hit up Cabellas for a SuperTuk?
Any other options? Needs to conceal very well.

I stopped at a gas station to get some smokes and a soda and it struck me to ask if they had any laser pointers ('Murica Fuck Yeah). The little Chinese impulse-buy $2 variety.
They did! So I taped the little disposable laser to my slide and have been using it to get a visual on what happens when I pull the trigger. I'm fine with 85% of the trigger, but on that last little bit that causes the break, the gun barrel bobs down exactly the amount you'd expect based on target I posted above.
It is because the break, while smooth and easy to feel, needs a comparably far greater amount of pressure to accomplish. Building that pressure does not throw my sighting off, but immediately after the break there is overtravel with no resistance. So I pull through the stiff section, it clicks, my finger quickly accelerates, and there is something in my grip that causes the gun to move forward a tiny bit in my hands. Firing slowly DOES make it happen more severely.
Totally adds up...this is why the other gun I've been shooting has gotten worse, too. Or rather, I've gotten worse with it. It's got SA with a little smooth takeup and a decently stiff pull, so it's not so much a difference in effort as it is that this trigger has no discernible feel of overtravel. Just snaps and I'm at the end of the trigger.
Also, thinking about getting replacement barrels for my Glocks (19/26) so I can shoot lead reloads. Is Lone Wolf pretty much the best option?
I have a N82 "Professional" for my G19 and it's very comfortable, but if you want the gun to be angled forward it won't stay there (at least for me). Slowly works its way towards vertical as you wear it a few hours. I prefer a Crossbreed but you aren't gonna get one of those by next week.

OK I got an extra week before I needed the holster so I ordered the Alien one. Hopefully they work as well as all the reviews say.
I left work early today so I drove around to 2 WalMarts, 1 Academy, and 1 Dick's. Also, one local mom and pop store (fairly large size and has been in business for over 20 years).
Walmarts = zero 9 mm, not even a box of any type. No .22LR either, not a box. A lot of rifle and shotgun ammo (all kind).
Academy = some boxes of 9 mm but expensive HP types. No .22LR at all. A lot of .40 and .45 plus rifle and shotgun ammo (all kind).
Dick's = this was the worse one. Almost barren without anything on the shelves but rifle and shot gun ammo. Oh, and no AR15 on display but cheap bolt rifles and shotguns.
Local store = Nice friendly clerks not much on 9 mm ammo but HP and some boxes of reloads. Handguns are as expensive as other big box stores.
Did not buy anything but one box of Hornady HP 9 mm Critical Defense, 25 rounds for about $24 out the door from Academy. I am envy at some of you guys' Walmarts with good inventory of ammo.
looking forward to a review on it!
Don't feel bad. I've never bough fresh ammo in person; only reloads at the range. Its not even worth my time to go look.I am envy at some of you guys' Walmarts with good inventory of ammo.

Check Gander. They used to have bulk Blazer all the time for an ok price.

I don't know which state you are in, but I've found that Maryland has much more ammo at decent prices than no. Virginia.
I'm setting up my lightweight Daniel defense m4 like a recce build but for small target paper punching 50-400 yards. I figure a 2.5-10x scope would be decent for this range and use. Is the nightforce nxs compact a great scope to save for, or is it all name brand? At first I was looking at swfa, but 10x is useless at 50-100 yards for getting on target quickly. I'd like matching reticle and turret for ranging. Looks like a vortex PST 2.5-10x32 would be an economic choice, but I dont mind spending more for better so long as it isn't heavy like us optics, s&b, and other nightforce options.
The nightforce nxs 2.5-10 are great scopes. Durable, well built, solid, and overall well regarded as quality scopes. They have the 42mm objective which is newer and is what i would go towards if picking one up. Better in low light. Power throw level for easier changing of magnification. IMO for the upper-mid to upper tier they are sort of the (whats the word) common name out there. People just hear nightforce and think quality. And thye are right.
The vortex viper PST 2.5-10x32 is a good chunk cheaper. But it is FFP, has a good reticule (imo), and a killer warranty. People love rate the glass highly for the price point the scope is at as well. Vortex has really made a name for themselves by offering very good glass for cheaper than others and also a pretty much no questions asked warranty.
Really you would be happy with either. If put side by side in a blind test some people would like the pst better and others the nightforce. Really no way to tell without seeing them side by side. HOWEVER most people agree online that you would be happy with either one if you bought them blind as well. You really just have to look at the features and see if one offers something to make up for the added price or if the PST is going to do everything you want.
I have two vortex scopes but not the PST series. I love my 2.5-10x44 viper HS. Clear glass and great price for it. The basic Viper 6.5-20...im starting to see the flaws in it as i am slowly starting to outgrow it a bit for my precision shooting. Still a great scope though and clear glass as well.
Hope that helps.
