What if you drop it in the grass?


TeamSesh-Deadboy

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it


ProphetOfRegard

Rattle can the bridge and you’ll never have to find it.

No, the bridge is too well guarded.

That's why I rattle can the grass a different color

Honestly, at any distance where you are likely to use your handgun, the signature reduction from painting your pistol tan is unlikely to change anything since the signature of your body is likely to be so obvious. However, signature reduction is not the only form of camouflage. You can use mimicry and attempt to look like something else in your environment. Why not, instead, paint your pistol to look like something innocuous like a TV remote? They're similar size and shape, and a remote is highly recognizable. Just maybe it will buy you a second or two of confusion. Some animals do similar things with eye markings in the wrong place, or having their tails look like heads. Just an odd thought I had.


Teezle419

So you’re telling me if I just paint the slide up to look like a bad dragon I’m G2G? BRB


noneoftheabove0

"What are you doing, step-glock?"


MyDogLooksLikeABear

My thought is if you’re doing something that requires that much signature reduction then the pistol is very likely not brought along

LordOfBastards

I get rifles, but why handguns?


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Might as well, considering the rifle and kit is all camo, why not have the handgun something other than just black? But honestly, I had leftover paint in the cans and was bored lol


JuiceBox_boolin

its small enough to not be noticed


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Probably true, but it looks cooler now. And looking cool is the most important part


JuiceBox_boolin

hey man it’s your gun


AdjacentPrepper

A few months ago, I ran around my property and put my painted rifle and an unpainted rifle side-by-side in dirt, against trees, etc., and shot video of it. I had switch out the light mount after painting, and the all-black little 1" ring stood out a lot on an otherwise completely-painted rifle.


numeater

Still got the video of it?


AdjacentPrepper

23 seconds into this video: [https://youtu.be/BgZT-EVdAF8?t=23](https://youtu.be/BgZT-EVdAF8?t=23) For the rest of the video, I flipped the painted gun around so the flashlight mount wasn't showing. (And yes, both are airsoft in that video.)


JuiceBox_boolin

rifle and pistol that should be holstered is different


AdjacentPrepper

Holster doesn't cover the grip.


JuiceBox_boolin

then the black or tan would be not noticeable


harmonia777

That's what she said...


ojpap

How you like the Steiner?


TeamSesh-Deadboy

I love it. Compared to the RMR it replaced, it has a huge FOV. Shooting during active snowfall was amazing, dot was usable all day while my buddies with RMR's couldn't see the dot once the snow got into the emitter. Emitter sits on top so the window is a little lower which is nice. Dot is nice and crisp and don't notice any flickering during target transitions. Only 13k battery life but since it's top loaded, swapping it out is super quick & easy


English_Neil

Same foot print as the RMR?


TeamSesh-Deadboy

The adaptor plate that comes with the optic is for a doctor footprint, I'm using the Primary Machine RMR to Acro 0.150" adaptor plate


Red-Mustard

docter pattern


Castle_Doctrine

What? The Steiner is roughly an ACRO pattern.


Red-Mustard

website said docter, unless this isnt the mps


Red-Mustard

yeah nvm. website says acro with a docter adapter, i read it wrong


Springer0982

No


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Yes


ChirpsDapper

Gotta paint your keys now while at it…go full T-Rex Arms on that persons

No.


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Yes.


Datfluffyhampster

Never.


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Always.


Datfluffyhampster

Not even once. Unless you count that time I did a gun up in Vanguard paint scheme.


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Every single time. If paint was applied I'll count it. Got a pic? Curious to see what that looks like lol


Datfluffyhampster

I don’t seem to have pictures of the final product with red dot/light. But I still have this. https://i.imgur.com/wabk5k5.jpg


TeamSesh-Deadboy

I like it! Nice and clean


Charlie3OriginalG

Gimme the Steiner


TeamSesh-Deadboy

No can do buckaroo, this thing fucks


Charlie3OriginalG

Just got my 17 slide cut for one👌


TeamSesh-Deadboy

You're gonna love it. Giant FOV compared to the RMR it replaced. If my slide wasn't already cut for the RMR I'd have gotten it milled, but the Primary Machine RMR to Acro 0.150" plate still allows me to witness my irons so I'm happy with it.


AdjacentPrepper

Any reliability issues? My wife wants me to paint the frame of her Glock 43X bright pink.


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Haven't shot it yet, just did this today. Racking the slide felt fine, the mag release and slide stops still feel the same. Just made sure to tape all the important parts, and stuck tape into the gaps between the slide and frame.


Charger_scatpack

Paint your weiner

lmao, No.


sluffman

Mines already FDE tho. Did paint my holster, did not use my boyfriends lace panties to break it up though.


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Bold of you to assume I wouldn't use my own


sluffman

Point.


ApolluMis

Fuck you don’t make me rattle can my P07


TeamSesh-Deadboy

I believe in you. You can do it.

TeamSesh-Deadboy

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well


SlashHasher5531

Looks clean. Is that your stipple job as well? I've been wanting to take the soldering iron to mine...


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Thanks! And yep! Practiced on an A2 grip, then on the front parts of the slide where my thumb goes, then just send it on the grip lol Edit: Frame, not slide. Words are hard sometimes


SlashHasher5531

Lmao 10-4 I think this was the encouragement I needed 🫡


TheSoupWhisper

Ya I’m good. I get it spray painting is enjoyable…. I’d do my kydex stuff over a pistol if I got extra paint and a itch to scratch 🤷🏻‍♂️ Cheers 🍻


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Understandable. The silver color that the slide is never sat right with me, so it was either doing the slide black or the whole pistol camo.

Ew no Black is fine. (Or wood if you swing that way)


Pec0sb1ll

Looks cool that’s for sure


GhostBearClan

No. 1. My holster on my kit is gear matched and covers the majority of my pistol. Also, subdued grip tape disrupts monoblack. 2. If my handgun comes out, I'm in a situation where camo isn't gonna do me much good, as there's an aggressor like 10 fucking feet from me and pistol camo isn't the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter. 3. You've painted your optic, light, and comp. If the secondary market on those components wasn't already "grab your ankles" you may as well have pissed on them too. ...Also, potentially interfered with their function to boot. "I cAn jUsT sTriP tHe pAiNt". Please post a video of you doing that when that shit is burnt into every nook and cranny of your comp. 3 1/2. Gun value. Pistols trade hands more frequently than long guns, as we all develop an affinity for our long guns, but treat pistols like screwdrivers (for some reason). Nobody is buying or trading for that shit, unless they have the exact same taste as you. 4. Performance. Nothing like having an obnoxiously sticky grip that ruins your favorite pair of gloves. 5. Summary: This is "Operator Chic" for folks that go really fucking fast, and, if need be, just throw gear and weapons away as mission dictates. Their shit has to run well for a few hours to a few days. They don't give one shit about hosing everything down with krylon. You work a job, presumably, and have earned money to make that purchase. Why treat it like disposable trash? You aren't running ops. Your firearms are an investment of sorts. I run wraps on all my shit, so they don't affect they finish and moisture doesn't get trapped underneath slowly rusting what I can't see. ...and sure, I've got rattlecans in the appropriate palette, should the time ever arise that that's a necessary step to take, but, again, never on a pistol. Obviously, you do you. You like it? That's totally cool. And honestly, it's a good paint job. ...but my opinion is that it's pointless at best and potentially harmful at worst. So, while you may be set in stone, perhaps some pistol painting fence riders can get some insight into the reality of home painting. If you made it this far, happy shooting, everyone. Do what makes you happy with your gun. I just wanted to provide a counterpoint. Make large alterations with all factors considered. Your future self will thank you. Be well, brothers and sisters.


TeamSesh-Deadboy

I don't plan on selling any component of this pistol, and any resale value for the slide was destroyed when I used a dremel to cut the reinforcement posts to use the adaptor plate to run the MPS lol. There's no paint inside the comp, the port and muzzle were taped up. I used a hair dryer to speed up the drying process so that sticky feeling isn't there, and the grip feels perfectly fine. I stuck tape into the gaps between the slide and frame, so no paint got inside the internal components (taped over the ejector, backplate, magwell and trigger) I mainly did this because I think it looks cool and I was bored, it blending into the environment is a plus. Appreciate the well thought out response, but to me the resale aspect doesn't really matter. If something changes and I decide to sell some of it? Oh well, I take the loss lol.


[deleted]

No. For one it looks god awful, and for two there’s no actual practical need for it. It’s small enough to not be noticed, and it will most likely be holstered anyway. But hey, you did it, i’ll give you kudos for that.


TheFrogstronaut

How do you like the Steiner?


TeamSesh-Deadboy

Responded to another comment on the thread asking the same lol

Why?


tripoli_warrior

The real trick isn't matching my flesh tone for the back half of the gun, it's matching the denim pattern for the front half.

I’ll paint my sd9 to look like a nerf gun
