I’m still pending my approval from my 4473 which was submitted yesterday morning. Has anyone been approved so far today? Just fishing for some hope 🥲.

Anyone at Xcal, trying to gauge queue times. Seems like the PSA link is dead and the usual one is frozen?

Got my email for an approval from yesterday and curious if the party still going on. Also, got too many cool guns and no folks to talk to about them. Y’all got a discord?

Are the HK handguns not very popular? I've been very interested in grabbing the VP9A1 X/K after getting the 556 & 762 rifles and was surprised to find out that neither Tenicor nor T1C make holsters for pretty much none of the newer models. I've got a good bit of other guns and default to these two companies for conceal holsters so it's given me a bit of pause when trying to replace my two gun rotation for summer and winter carry.

Just had 2 forms approved, both submitted as individuals:

PWS MK111: 06/10 – 06/24
HK SP5: 06/09 – 06/24

Most of my others are submitted under my trust, with a few also submitted as individuals.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some input, primarily from women who carry daily.

My wife is 5'2" and plus size. She has taken her concealed carry class, and I’m ready to buy her first true carry gun. We’ve been looking at options like the Shield X and P365X, but before I focus too much on the gun itself, I want to better understand what actually works for women day to day.

For those of you who carry regularly, what setup has been the most comfortable, safe, and reliable for you? I’m especially interested in hearing from women with a similar body type or anyone who has had to experiment with different carry methods.

Things I’m curious about:

What holster/carry method worked best for you?

AIWB, strong side, belly band, Enigma, purse/crossbody, etc.

What did not work for you?

How much did clothing choice affect your setup?

Any tips for making carry consistent instead of something that only works with certain outfits?

A little extra context: she likes gothic/alt style stuff and currently carries a BlackCraft handbag I gifted her. So if anyone has recommendations for safe concealed carry bags, crossbody bags, or anything in that general style, I’d love to hear those too. But the main thing I’m looking for is real-world input on what helps women conceal comfortably, safely, and consistently.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for feedback on if it’s worth buying the whole “pistol” or if I’m better off just buying the complete upper and pairing it with one of my Griffin MK2 lowers.

Thanks in advance!

Looking to pick up the X tactical model and also really want the midnight bronze color but it doesn’t seem like there’s a sku. Could I just get the tactical model and buy the bronze slide?

Hey everyone! I’m deciding between the 13.5" and 16" MARS-H. I’d love to hear your recommendations or feedback from those who’ve run either length. If anyone has swapped a 16" barrel onto the 13.5" handguard, could you post a pic? I’m curious how it actually looks in that setup. I’m not buying the barrel yet, just planning ahead. Thanks in advance

Just picked up an SR-25 A2, and I think this is probably my last big addition before the upcoming VA bans.

I’ll admit, part of me wishes I could have found one in a shorter barrel length, similar to how I felt with the KS4 I picked up recently. But with how hard KAC stuff is to find, I’m honestly just glad I was able to get both at basically retail.

For those of you who own these, how did you end up liking them over time? I really appreciate the pedigree, robustness, and weight, but I’m still not totally sold on the chalky coating. Does it smooth out with use, or have any of you done anything to make it feel a little better?

After the mad dash to get things squared away before the ban, what’s everyone actually most excited to shoot?

For me, I’m really looking forward to getting time behind an LMT Estonia Reference Rifle I lucked into, along with my SIG MCX Spear. Curious what everyone else is most excited about now that the buying sprint is settling down.

I’m finishing a .300 BLK build with a 9.3" Geissele handguard and am considering the Noveske 10.5" barrel. I’ll mostly be shooting supers for now since I don’t have a suppressor yet, but I plan to suppress it later and shoot both supers and subs.

Would the Noveske 10.5" be a good choice for this setup, or would you recommend a different barrel/length?

Curious what type of timelines everyone is seeing for SBR transfers? based on the ATF processing times it's showing 6 days which sounds reasonable but don't want to gamble otherwise.

With the upcoming Virginia restrictions, I’m trying to decide whether to grab an MR762A4 while I still can.

My biggest hesitation isn’t the rifle itself, it’s magazine support.

For those of you who own and shoot MR762s regularly:

How difficult has it actually been to source OEM 20-round HK mags?

Has anyone put significant rounds through the PMAG adapter setups? If so, how reliable have they been compared to factory mags?

Trying to figure out whether the magazine situation is a real concern or just internet exaggeration.

Appreciate any firsthand experience.
