@FusionFirearms Always! Mad love to Bob, Nannette, Tyler, Treven, and crew.
You guys keep putting out bangers and have the best customer service in the industry hands down.
Big shoutout to @FusionFirearms for hooking it up with the new XP3C!
(I paid for this, I did not get it for free, I'm not that cool yet)
Colorado's wait period means I can't pick it up for a few more days but my God this thing is sick.
Grip is perfect, slide is buttery.
Exciting news! Our final curriculum review in another restricted state is underway
Stirner Tactical Concepts will hopefully be authorized to provide instruction to NYS residents looking to qualify for their pistol permits soon, joining Colorado, Maryland & California on our list!
Took the doublestamp out to the range today to sight it in and get a feel for it.
Shooting with cans is something else.
If that's the blowback I get from a flow through, I dont want to use a normal can. My lungs taste like lead.
Soft shooting as a mf though.
I hate asking for help, so this is a little outside my comfort zone.
Five years ago, Cultivated Laser started with a laser engraver, a handful of ideas, and a stubborn refusal to get a real job. Since then, we've shipped thousands of orders, built an incredible community, and somehow turned this weird little project into a real business.
This week, our offer was accepted on a 2,300 sq ft commercial building that would become the permanent home of Cultivated Laser.
The new space would allow us to expand manufacturing, add more 3D printers, improve production, pursue our FFL, offer full firearm and NFA engraving, and provide firearm transfers—services people have been asking us to offer for years.
We're working with a bank on financing, but we're also raising funds to help cover the down payment, closing costs, and the mountain of expenses that come with moving a business into its first permanent home.
If Cultivated Laser has ever made you laugh, decorated your gear, filled your mailbox with patches, or simply been something you've enjoyed following over the years, I'd appreciate you taking a look.
Whether you contribute, share it, or just continue supporting the business like you always have, thank you. None of this exists without you.
We are doing a Give Send Go with a ton of perks, check it out here:

@EntryLvlNut As a complete amateur at cobbling, even I've never wrecked an upper on a resole that bad. Good lord.
Some of the shops out there really just don't care about the work they put out and that's a shame.
Update on the @FusionFirearms XP3C:
Haven't taken it to the range yet, still need to get a light and holster for it.
Disassembly is a bit more finicky than other models, the guide rod seems somewhat unique.
Trigger has some slight grit that'll probably smooth out over break-in.
@QHughesGhosts@FusionFirearms Honestly I'd say get the Fusion unless you're planning to go way up market.
I put it head to head with a Stacatto at HDB and I'm perfectly happy with my purchase.
I know nothing about how suits should fit or look because I grew up dirt floor poor and then spent my day job working in offices that let me wear jeans and band tees.
I finally bought a bespoke suit, and let my tailor guide me the entire way.
It's the most comfortable thing I own
It's actually quite rare to see a wealthy person wearing a nice suit. This is because dressing well is more about knowledge than money, and wealthy people are typically not invested in learning how to dress well. I will give you some examples.
In slide one, we see two powerful, wealthy men, both in custom-tailored suits. Sunak's jacket is too short, both in the body and the sleeves. Bezos, who is pictured here on his wedding day (when he would have wanted to dress well), is wearing a custom dinner suit but with the wrong waistcoat. The low armholes are also causing his jacket to lift. A famous bespoke tailor in Milan said Bezos's outfit made her heart break.
In slides two and three, we see a high school art teacher and an electrician. They are not poor, but their vocations certainly place them several tiers below the former Prime Minister of Britain and one of the wealthiest men in the world. Yet, their clothes fit beautifully, and they are styled in a way that's thoughtful and coherent.
In slide four, we see a man who claims he's wearing a bespoke $20,000 suit from one of the finest tailoring houses on Savile Row. Next to him, in the same slide, is a man wearing a $300 Jos A. Bank suit. The $20k blue suit does not fit well because this man interjected too much during the fitting, insisting to his tailor that he make the suit tighter and shorter, which is why the garment is pulling and rippling all over the place. The other man, despite having more modest means, educated himself on how a suit should fit and achieved more with considerably less.
Online, you will find all types of influencers and writers hawking the latest trends and designer labels, telling you you have to buy such-and-such thing to have "aura." But in reality, money has very little correlation with style. There's no reason to assume that wealthy people can buy nice suits because it's not as simple as pulling out your credit card. You have to educate yourself a bit on the topic.

Support Laserbro getting his own forever space!
So boys and girls, I haven't been on and showcasing things as much as I normally would because I have been working on some BIG things.
As most of you know, I have been looking for a larger commercial space to be able to expand and scale the business and today is the day that we might make that a reality! I have been looking at renting but the options here for renting rough commercial space is slim to none.
So, I'm looking at buying a space! 😬 We are going check and and inspect a 2400 square foot space that was previously a paint shop (it even has a paint booth built into the building!!!) The goal was always to get our FFL and start offering custom shop work, so a space to be able to Cerakote would be amazing!
If everything works out (fingers crossed) we will be doing a massive push to raise funds for the down payment with some amazing perks. I honestly never thought we would be buying our own space, but the circumstances say that its a better option, so we will do what we have to do to make it happen!
I honestly never thought that we would be where we are right now, location and businesswise, but we are going to keep the train going! If anyone here has been in this same situation, we would love to chat to see how you navigated these types of changes. Starting from a single car garage, I always looked at what we did as a "very small" business, but we have the chance to do something big, and having no formal education in business, I could use all the help that I can get!
We don't want a handout in any way shape or form, but we may be asking for some help from you guys soon to share what we do, or to ask for references of businesses and brands that could use a bit of Cultivated flair to help us achieve our goals of expanding Cultivated Laser to the next level!
I am very excited and nervous about this next chapter. With these changes comes a new level of responsibility, which I am ready for, but its almost like taking a step into the unknown. So, wish me luck, I will keep you guys updated as things happen!

@QHughesGhosts@FusionFirearms The XP-Comp?
Mine has been fantastic. There's been some XPs in the wild that people have reported issues with, never had a problem myself, but Fusion's customer service seems to knock it out of the park if you do run into an issue.
