ScubaRanger from United States, TX Public Profile

It was a risky gamble. I own a Springfield Armory 9mm 1911 Operator 4.25" barrel with a Veridian RFX green dot. I have used Galco pancake holsters with other pistols for decades, on duty and off. Not being able to find a stock holster to my liking, I ordered a Galco holster that would accommodate the firearm, sans optics, with the hopes I could modify it. Long story short, I was able to cut the holster successfully. I took pictures but did not see a way to attach them to this review. The cons with this holster is that it is excessively tight. Oil for stretching this holster should be included at no cost. Also, it took 6 weeks for delivery. I did not order this holster at first because it was on backorder. About a month later, I received a notification that the holster was back in stock. I placed by order and then received another notification that the holster was not in stock. The holster arrived 6 weeks after that.

I have a Mossberg 500 shotgun that I have used very little. I have cleaned it but never have broken it down. I watched a 3 minute video on YouTube and spent another 5 minutes to disassemble the shotgun, remove the old foregrip, install the Nightstick, and reassemble the shotgun. The laser was out of alignment so I spent about 5 more minutes dialing it in as best I could until I get out on the farm to zero it in at distance. The flashlight is intense and the green laser is very visible. I have used semi-auto handguns and rifles and pump and semi-auto shotguns professionally for 26+ years. My primary uses for the weapon is home defense and protection from feral hogs when I'm out and about on the farm at night. I feel confident that the Nightstick Forend Light w/ Laser will afford me better success in the event that either of these scenarios becomes a reality.
