As an fyi, you were to optics cut any, the Dawson DPO plates work quite well. The carry height sink below the top of the slide, and standard height sit right about parallel with the top of the slide. I do think AOS plates would work pretty well too
Half Face Blades Disaster Breacher. Production model with cerakoted steel, Coyote Tan G10, and original sheath. It’s in like new condition. Got it in a trade, but a little too large for my needs. Carried once, never cut with. To my knowledge, this is not currently in production.
Will sell for...
Consensus on the forum is probably that its worse. The 2nd Gens were short lived in comparison. The triggers did not have quite the level of hand fitting/attention like 1st Gens, nor was their production streamlined like late MIM Gen 3 triggers.
Of my personal S&Ws, i’d rank them from best...
It has some generational changes from the original 59. They added a FP safety and reinforced the frame forward of the slide stop channel. They changed the sights to the adjustable rear with large protective wing or the traditional lower profile dovetail. Takes the same barrels, grips, mainspring...
Yeah older ones are getting hard to find. I think a custom key is likely the best way at this point. I wondered if you’d run out of material, i guess now we know. I can reach out to the guy who made one and try to get the file
Numrichs shows the correct XM9 tool-less extractor in stock under the 459, for half of Jack First’s price. I believe the harder part to source for slides is the spring or plunger. Im sure they would swap it out if you give them an email
I only have an integral rail, which does not have the issue. If the only issue is length, then filing may work. You can probably test it by mounting it without the battery cap installed at all, which should illustrate how much material to remove.
If the dimension of the rail slot itself is an...
There was a guy on the Third Gen reddit who was going to print replacement keys for A-pattern X300s, never did outside of his own though.
If you have an X300 with the older battery door, there is a pinned filler plate that can be removed which may give you enough space to mount it. You may...
I want to say they used older Insight M3/M3X lights, based on the existing Safariland holsters that would have been available at the time. They are practically identical to the TLR-1 body style. TLR-1 and 2 used to be sold with TSW specific rail keys as well
Dual Hammer cut my 659 slide for Staccato/DPO plates, which is also a native Leupold Deltapoint Pro direct mount
Still a WIP, needs a new front sight to co-witness, and comp needs finishing
