Thinking about picking up this book but haven’t read much Dark Angels content. What’s your opinion of this novel, and do you need to have solid knowledge of Dark Angels lore to appreciate it?

Can my IKEA Billy bookshelves accommodate a UCS Venator on an angled display stand?

Hi all,

Has anyone successfully displayed a UCS Venator on top of IKEA Billy bookshelves? The attached image is my current display, and I want to add the Venator on top of the middle 4 columns where the 2 jets and books are. Billy shelves have a little over 11" of depth. According to iDisplayit, I need 15.7" of depth if using the 45 degree angle position. Wicked Brick's display stand is a little less when using the 45 degree angle position, 13.8" depth. Was hoping someone could comment if they made a similar configuration with the IKEA Billy shelf work. If I am cooked, I would appreciate that feedback as well, and I will go back to the drawing board.

Anyone have experience with Direct Action’s Dust backpack for EDC?

Looking for a new smaller EDC bag that’s between 20-25 L. Does anyone use DA’s Dust? The most I’ll carry is a 13” work laptop and a pair of Hokas. Looking to see how the padding and weight distribution is on this bag.

Which of these would you recommend?

Trying to decide between these 3 options and having some trouble. Was hoping to get feedback.

  1. Batman by Morrison vol 1-3. I’ve held off on this one for a while because I prefer my Batman more grounded and gritty - e.g. Dark Patterns of Long Halloween - but thinking it might be time to broaden my tastes.

  2. Immortal Hulk. This would be my first Hulk purchase. I’ve had little to no exposure with the character outside the MCU, but know people rave about this run.

  3. Akira. Recently been on a manga kick, and the premise of post-nuclear war with sci-fi and government experiments is very much up my alley.

Has anyone tried these aftermarket beaver tails, and which one do you like the best? This would be for a gen 5 G17.

Also, will any of these interfere with my Safariland 6354RDS Holster (ALS; Optic Compatible with Hood)?

I am thinking of picking up an A300 UP and saw earlier reviews saying the barrel clamp comes loose and yeets itself off. Is this still a problem with current production models?

I saw a few posts saying older plastic barrel clamps didn’t have a step down and has been fixed, but I haven’t been able to confirm this.

Hi all!

I have a Glock 17 gen 5 MOS that I want modified. Does anybody know a good custom shop in the area that can do the below mods to a Glock frame?

If had this work done to your firearm, I would love to hear your experiences and how much you ultimately paid for the work.

  1. ⁠Stipple job, including thumb shelf

  2. ⁠Grip angle reduction

  3. ⁠Double undercut for trigger guard

  4. ⁠Beaver tail creation
