Second pic is the SP5 next to my AP5P. Difference in quality of finish is insane.

Time to hunt down a PWS MK111 mod 2 and DD MK18 upper

Since my last post about the pistol , it's gotten a small makeover. Mk18 Ris iii upper 🥰

Compensator will be getting re-done & corrected for proper fitment this weekend per the shops statement. But I still dig it though, Im considering if its even worth doing it over and just running it this way. The gun runs great without issues so im thinking of just living with it for now, since I do plan on getting another slide and frame it will have to come out either way than.

"there are many like it, but these are mine"

Just wanted to say the amount of support you guys showed yesterday after my HolstersSwap.com announcement was incredible. Seriously, thank you. The number of signups in such a short time blew me away.

I already pushed a few updates based directly on your feedback, and I’ll keep doing that as more suggestions come in.

I know there aren’t a ton of listings yet, but I’m guessing a lot of you are waiting until your day off to snap some pictures and get everything posted. Give it a little time, I think the site will be full of listings before long.

*One quick thing regarding listings: Please keep it to one primary item per listing. You can absolutely reuse the same group photo across multiple listings, as long as each listing also includes at least one photo highlighting the titled item. If someone wants to buy multiple items from you, you can always work that out by updating one listing’s price to reflect the agreed bundle and complete the sale that way. The goal is simply to keep searching clean, pricing clear, and the marketplace organized for everyone.

Thanks again, everyone. Seeing the response has been awesome. This is your marketplace just as much as it is mine, so keep the ideas, suggestions, and constructive criticism coming.

Starting my 10 day wait of these 2 Dirty Harry revolvers. A 1957 Pre Model 29 6.5 inch and a 1968 4 inch Colt Python. I always wanted the 4 inch python after seeing the Dirty Harry sequel Magun Force.

Got bit by the gun bug.

I had made a few of the Magpul Tmag and 300BLK dedicated Pmag for a Customer.

My Question to you all since I wasn't able to source or find any 10/30 or 300BLK dedicated magpul compliant mags, Would this be something of use and interest in California and possibly a demand for?This would be shipped with all the parts that came with them and be made compliant and fully legal for you like the factory magpul ones so if ever you guys were to get reversal on mag capacity laws,you guys can then turn these into standard capacity in the future (hopefully I pray one day soon).

Im building a website for my shop and wasn't sure if it was even worth offering at a larger scale or not? Im in a very strict ban state and am going to have a whole compliance section for all the ban states since I think its stupid some parts companies and gun companies won't help or send you guys anything.Thats changing.

With all the newer polymer pistols now available on the California Roster from Sig, Walther, M&P, H&K, Springfield, and others, I keep asking myself if any of them are actually worth switching to. For me, so far, the answer is no. Not because I’m a hardcore Glock fanboy - I’m not. I own and have shot CZs, H&Ks, Walthers, Springfields, Sigs, and others. But in California, Glock made the most sense when I started: affordable, available, reliable, and well-supported. Over time, I built heavily into that ecosystem with mags, holsters, optics, spare parts, support gear, training, practice, and competition time. At this point, Glocks just feel natural and seamless for me.

That’s where I have trouble justifying a switch. Most newer service pistols do not give me a significant performance advantage, and with California’s magazine disconnects, extra 11% tax, and the added cost of mags, holsters, optics setups, parts, and time needed to get equally comfortable, the value just isn’t there. I also prefer keeping my pistols mostly OEM, aside from grip tape, slide milling, and optics, so buying something new just to start messing with internals to disable the disconnect does not appeal to me. I have not bought a new handgun in years, not because there is nothing good out there, but because nothing has offered enough of a real advantage to justify buying into another platform.

At this point, instead of another polymer pistol that does more or less the same thing, I’m starting to think I should just save up for a 2011 and get something that actually feels like a different category altogether.

Thoughts?

​If you had a $5,000 out-of-state gift budget for 1–3 off-roster handguns, what would you get?

​My dad lives in Arizona and has been dealing with major health issues for years. He’s currently waiting on a heart transplant, and feeling his mortality, he wants to gift me a few handguns since he knows how much I love shooting.

​Considering what’s already in my safe and the fact that I’ve wanted a P226 for a while, here is my top 3:

​Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Legion

​S&W M&P9 Competitor HD

​S&W M&P9 Metal Carry Comp (Full-Size)

​Curious to hear what you guys would pick.

Edit: I have an AR pistol, a bunch of ARs, a Shadow 2, and a Staccato XC among other handguns.

Started light to test waters.. 2k from velocity fast shipping got what I ordered.. not sure why people talk down about them. I would order from them again.

Screen cap is from Sportmans on handguns

As title says. More fun / curiosity question than anything else.

looks cool

I can see how a light on a pistol can be useful when needed, but the idea of leaving lights on all pistols full-time does not appeal to me. It makes the pistol bulky, and certainly less attractive to me. Sometimes, I feel I am the only one...am I? lol

I do have a light for my SIG 365, which is my concealed carry, but even with the SIG I don't like it on all the time.

Gotta love intra-familial transfers 😅

Trying to see where everyone is at with their timeline. I had my interview june 8th and uploaded certificates June 28. Been 4 weeks after uploading, no progress

Idk which revolver this is but the guy said he got it off gun broker for cheap. Might have to get this incase of zombie apocalypse

Hey yall, so I’ve been doing some research on conversion cylinders for black powder revolvers (specifically a pietta 1851 .36 cal colt navy which I’ll be getting soon) and I know that once you put a cylinder that accepts modern metallic cartridges, it is no longer classified as an antique firearm, and could be considered a ghost gun. But if I want to install one legally, what would be the process? The big questions I have is the frame of black powder revolvers usually have factory serial numbers already engraved, would it be possible to “apply for a unique sn” with that number? Also, because it’s single action does that make it exempt from the roster?

And for additional context, I am above the age of 21, I already have my fsc and multiple other guns that are registered to me. And I’m NOT someone who is prohibited to possess a standard firearm

Walked into a local gun shop.

Saw these beauties for sale used. I said, "Gimme all 3!"

Yay for guns!

Hey everyone! With permission from the mods, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on.

I’m just a dad from SoCal who’s been part of the California firearms community for years. I built HolstersSwap because I got tired of digging through forums and groups trying to find compatible holsters and gear.
No firearms. No ammunition. Just holsters, mag carriers, and weapon lights.
The site is free to use and free to post, and I’m doing everything I can to keep it that way.
It’s brand new, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback.

HolstersSwap.com. (Can’t wait to see all the overly tactical usernames you guys come up with 😂**)**

Tip(Until I make an app): You can save it to your phone like an app. On iPhone, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap the ⋮ menu → Add to Home Screen.

If you think it’s useful, I’d really appreciate you spreading the word. The more listings the community has, the better it works for everyone—and we all know someone with holsters or gear collecting dust that could be put back into use.

Thanks for checking it out, and thanks again to the mods for letting me share it. Hope you all enjoy it!

Update: Hey! Just a quick heads-up: to keep search results accurate and make it easier for buyers to find exactly what they’re looking for, please create one listing per item. If you decide to sell everything together later, you can always remove the individual listings and create a bundle listing instead. Thanks for understanding and helping keep the marketplace organized!

Planning on moving just wondering what I need to change and what parts you guys recommend
I want to change as little as possible when it comes to
