General Discussion / Re: R51 forum upgrade

Quote from: runuts on March 05, 2022, 08:08:41 AMGlad to see the forum back up. I was concerned it may have been gone for good.

Thanks, I was pretty worried when it was offline due to a php error. Let me know if everything is working for logged in and not logged in users.

I will try and make sure everything is functioning as it should.

The new theme/style I am using should as a bonus work better if people access the forum using a cell phone or tablet.

Testing the new forum photo attachment function.

This is an old CZ 27 pistol I inherited from my father. Interestingly, it is the first gun I ever shot at age 9. That would be 54 yrs ago.

General Discussion / Re: Bandwidth exceeded
March 04, 2022, 10:25:45 AM
That does happen some times, the bandwidth exceeded message. On my web hosting system control panel I allot a certain amount of storage space and bandwidth to this website/forum.

The forum is growing and constantly is using more and more room and bandwidth.

I try and keep up by assigning more bandwidth to the forum but I can not just assign an unlimited amount so, some times the amount exceeds the allotment and that message happens.

I will try to keep on top of things and keep ahead of it so that I have enough resources allotted and that message does not appear.

This is one of thing things that happens in this business, specially with a forum.

I can not even imagine how I would handle this if I had millions of members and tens of millions of post like some huge forums do.

Thanks

General Discussion / R51 forum upgrade
March 04, 2022, 10:15:22 AM
As you no doubt notice this forum looks different.

I had to perform a major update due to some problems that were preventing the forum from loading.

It worked and the R-51 Pistol forum is back and working, but will look different.

I can not return the forum to the previous look for now. I need to look into a new theme/style that will work with this new version.

If anyone has problems you can contact me at ncwonline@gmail.com or reply here if you notice problems or things not working as they should. I will do my best to get it fixed.

Step one test to see if things work as they should then try and find a new better looking theme/style that will work.

Thanks

Remington R51 OWB holster prototype 2 Canted design - thinner kydex

I made this one canted, as much as I could without redoing the tooling.

Made it with .080 kydex and ABS plastic spacers instead of aluminum.

I would call this one "medium duty"

I think that it looks pretty good.  The 1/8" is really thick!  My review of it would be to crank the pistol forward so the center of gravity is not wanting to fall to the rear and to have the side wings bent so it contours to your hip.  See the attached photo of what I am talking about.

Will you be able to make it with the laser option?
Thanks for the suggestions. With those slightly offset clips it kind of achieves the same as if the bent wings, it conforms pretty well to my hip. It seems tight enough so the slight offset does not seem to cause it to ride tilted forward towards the more weight side. I always thought the slight tilted holsters were done more for easy access to grab the gun grip vs a weight imbalance.

On the 1/8 thickness, it is thicker but it still has the perfect amount of flex so it allows the holster to pop or click into place when the retention grabs the trigger guard. There is plenty of adjustment with the 2 retention adjustment screws so you can increase or decrease the retention level. One thing, with the thicker kydex and aluminum side spacers it is more heavy. I ordered some 3/16 ABS to make the side spacers out of instead of the aluminum.

Right now, as made with aluminum and thicker kydex it feels military heavy duty. I am going to make one with the .80 kydex and the ABS spacers when my ABS sheet arrives. It should be plenty heavy enough to last but be lighter with the thinner kydex and the ABS side spacers. After I make that one I'll post photos of it and let you know how it feels compared to the present version.

Yes I have the CT R51 laser so yes I can make the holster for the laser equipped R51.

Right now I am setup to only do the version as pictured with the pistol setting straight up, not canted. Later I will redo the system so I can do both versions, straight up and canted.

Thanks

I have been playing around with making holsters out of kydex. I would eventually like to start making them for sale.

Made a OWB holster today as a prototype. Since I don't yet have much experience at this I need advice.

I'm sure some of you must have plenty of experience with holsters of various types.

Take a look at these photos and let me know what changes or improvements could or should be made.

I made it with screws instead of rivets so it could be reconfigured or have the clips switched to the other side or the clips adjusted up/down.

I added the aluminum side spacers to stabilize it and make it stronger. It has 2 retention adjustment screws. I did not ad a sweat guard as I thought with OWB, your shirt will be between your gun and skin and the sweat guard can jab you in the ribs if you take the gun out and then sit in the car, also the sweat guard could interfere with your draw. Sweat guard could be added though. It has a nice click/thunk when mold gun seats all the way in. Should be the same with actual R51.

I will probably end up making this holster without the large side aluminum inserts, but using aluminum spacers under the screws or I could stack aluminum or stainless 8/32 washers or rubber washers along the sides under the screws. Did try it with rubber spacers under the screws and it worked all right but would probably need locktight thread locker on those screws because I could not get them vary tight with the rubber spacers. Screws would probably eventually fall out so using some kind of solid spacer under the screw would be better.

This one is made from 1/8 heavy duty kydex. I can also make them out of .80 kydex that is more easy to work with and cheaper.

Mine just came in and I installed it right away.




Here I am testing function and accuracy on my indoor range - PEW PEW PEW

This is my R51 Blue Gun used to make kydex holsters.

I will be making Kydex holster for the R51 with and without the CT laser soon.

If any one here might be interested in getting one contact me via the forum contact system. Use the subject "R51 laser kydex holster post on your forum".

Price will be $20.00 shipped, this price will be for forum members only.

I'll post a section here on the forum for the holsters after I start making them so any one interested can see them.

Are you sure it was a crimson trace and not a laser max brand?

Reason for asking is I searched "grip sense technology" and it showed results for "laser max" not "crimson trace".

I actually have both, a laser max and a crimson trace. Laser max used a sensor and it works intermittently, it does not sense my hand reliably unless I wet the top of my finger/hand.

The crimson trace uses a button and does work vary well.

I don't consider myself a crimson trace fan boy but I do like them and so far, my one I have has worked well.
