They are nice looking pistols for sure. Take a look around, you never know when a good deal may come up.

I could care less about a deal for one of those!

And that's why I don't look to hard. I do have some Bitcoin burning a hole in my internet though...

I ordered a Talon-clone grip wrap for my USPc. The grip was fine but the front strap was just a tad more aggressive than I cared for so I thought I'd tame it down a bit. It was fine during live-fire and I didn't even notice it during the Outlaw match back in December. But just to hold the pistol it was pretty aggressive. Received the grip tape in the mail this afternoon. Simple matter to clean the grip up with the included alcohol pad then apply the grip and use a hair dryer to press it all in. I like it! I got the rubberized one and it gives me a firm yet comfortable grip. Very impressed the the few bucks it cost. Makes me want to start carrying the USPc in place of the P365, at least for a while :)

You meant to say you were not aggressive enough for that much gun. :lol:

As I mentioned in another thread, I applied the Talon-clone grip tape to the USPc and it's really made a positive difference. Really like it a lot.

I also decided to purchase a flush mag base plate to put on one of the mags, the one I'll have in the pistol. I noticed that the pinky extension tended to snap on clothing a bit when drawing from concealment. I think the flush will work better and shouldn't effect the feel. Finding out that those flush base plates aren't exactly all over the place, and normally around $7. But I found them for $3 here;

Shipping was more than the product of course but it was like $8 and change total. Already shipped so that is pretty good service so far.

Received the flush base plate in today's mail. HK base plates are really easy to take off and put on so it was a quick switch. I like it! I'm still able to get a full 3-finger grip and I don't have that pinky extension sticking out to snag clothing during a draw. Well spent $ :)

Pics of my USPc with the new grip tape and flush mag. Really liking it a LOT. Carried it yesterday and enjoyed it. I have a new leather holster coming, probably tomorrow.

Photo with the new holster I picked up. I like the 30 degree 'FBI' cant. Makes it a tad more concealable and snag resistant. The new flush base plate does really well in that regard as well. And still digging the grip tape I put on.
