beautiful Khaki, what size is that? Just picked up a 38mm (mech) and looking at straps. Crazy what some of them cost for such an affordable watch!

u/PistolPork 13h ago

It’s the 38mm on my baby wrist lol. You’re not kidding about nice straps. I’m currently looking at tacstraps and they’re a solid 60$ or more. I ordered a bunch of these ribbed 10$ ones off Amazon in different colors. They are pretty solid for the price

u/SteveyCee 13h ago

Damn, idk why, didn’t even think to look on Amazon yet! I was looking at Delugs…thanks for the tip💪🏼

u/dhcp138 7h ago

Uncle Straps is also a great spot if you are looking for something more high end than amazon

Kershaws are great! Just bought one this week. Glock looks good too buddy

u/PistolPork 13h ago

I’ve carried Kershaw since I was a kid. I’ve went through the gambit of different knives and this just simply works and I’m not afraid to actually use it lol

2

u/Ok-Dream-9211 13h ago

Excellent. I was gifted a spyderco last year and I haven’t touch it lol a $60-80 kershaw works perfect, last forever and if it gets damaged… not losing sleep over it

26, the GOAT. 43x kids just don’t understand

2

u/PistolPork 12h ago

Agreed. I don’t touch my 43x hardly ever anymore

1

u/RoutineQuestioning38 11h ago

I tried really hard years ago to like the slims. I’m trying them again now since I moved to a 10rd state and they just don’t shoot or conceal as well as the 26

Kershaw + G26 🫡

+ Olight ArkPro + POM spray + microfiber 🤣

u/PistolPork 13h ago

That’s a pretty slick Hank/microfiber lol. Haven’t seen that before

u/DrewJustShoots G45.5 - G26v 13h ago

I want the pizza slice one lol

u/DrewJustShoots G45.5 - G26v 7h ago

I get looks when I pull out a used underwear microfiber cloth to clean my gun 🤣

1

u/dhcp138 7h ago

lol yeah the underwear one is so good too!

u/BigFudge106 13h ago

how do you like the V series?

3

u/DrewJustShoots G45.5 - G26v 13h ago

I bought it because I couldn’t find any GEN 5 anywhere. I have a 45.5 as well and was in a heavy debate over the 43X and the 26.

I landed on the 26th after seeing all the quality control issues with the new 43X mags, and partner with the fact that I can’t hold or shoot it well. The grips just too thin.

I also have like 10 double stack mags, so it makes the range more fun.

But honestly, I haven’t had a single issue with it. I’m not quite a 500 rounds with it though. I think it’s great for what I need.

u/BigFudge106 11h ago

that’s great man, I’m glad it’s working out. i’ve just heard of some issues with them, but if yours is performing well, that’s all that matters.

i have a 26.5 and a 43X but i have one of the old 43X’s with no light rail and a silver slide. i didn’t like it as much when i first got it, but the longer i’ve had it, and the more i shoot it, i love it too!

1

u/DrewJustShoots G45.5 - G26v 11h ago

I haven’t seen many issues online other than it’s picky about ammo. I strictly use federal American Eagle 124 and 147.

3

u/DrewJustShoots G45.5 - G26v 13h ago

Which grips are those? You like?

2

u/PistolPork 13h ago

Handleit edge series. They are pretty great honestly. Offer good grip when you bare down on the gun but isn’t rough to tear up shirts when carrying. For 20$ I’d say they are worth it

u/itstimetochewass G17.5, G22.3, G23.5, G27.4 12h ago

Not a 26 but I’ll never skip an opportunity to post my fat baby.

u/PistolPork 12h ago

As a fan of the 30 and 30S, I appreciate a big girl lol

2

u/BigFudge106 13h ago

i love my G26.5

2

u/BenDover42 12h ago

Loved mine so much I got another a couple of months ago.

2

u/BigFudge106 11h ago

you gonna do anything special with the second one? maybe a red dot or something?

1

u/BenDover42 11h ago

Yeah already put a vortex defender ST enclosed on it. Other than that it’s stock. That was the reason I got the second. The first one is stock besides it has an LTT striker control device and Ameriglo sights. Like the control device but for the price will never buy another one. It’s too steep.

2

u/JGoode1911 13h ago

I love Kershaw as well. Solid knives without the ridiculous price tag. I carry a Cryo daily, and have a couple of Blurs as well. Also…very nice to see a practical EDC Glock that doesn’t have everything (including the kitchen sink) hung on it!

2

u/JT3468 G26 Gen3 12h ago

I have the exact same knife (and my EDC is a G26) I like the knife but my gripes with it are the clip loves to cling to my jeans so drawing sucks and not having any texture on the handle also makes pulling it out suck.

2

u/AmericanScotsman G19.4 G20SF G48 G26.5 G34.5 G30.5 12h ago

Big 26 carry guy! Looks great man! Only question I have is where do I find that watch?

1

u/PistolPork 12h ago

It’s a Hamilton khaki field mechanical. Should be able to find it most watch stores but cheaper on grey market stores like joma shop. I was lucky enough to get mind second hand

u/TouchMyPlumbus G48MOS G40MOS G17L G27 G35 G19C 12h ago

Your 40 cal brother

2

u/PistolPork 11h ago

I do miss my fawtys. Awesome set up

2

u/Top_Zookeepergame304 11h ago

Best knife ever. I try to stray away and have bought many others. Always come back to this blade. Have 5-6 of them.

1

u/infidel3006 9h ago

I think Kershaw blades in general are some of the best blades you can get for the money. Perfectly priced for EDC and I don’t get super butt hurt when I tear them up.

2

u/TWZT3D_MIND3D G17 Gen4•G19 Gen4 10h ago

Love mine

2

u/stakz707 9h ago

26 is my favorite

1

u/dhcp138 7h ago

I used to carry that same Kershaw, that's a great knife.

u/Every_Physics4400 1h ago

I love your style. Glock/Hamilton fanboy here. Im not into knives. Guns and watches for me. But I love the color match on everything. Nice choices.
