Ha! Just for that, another photo to upset your delicate nature. Realize it's just a lower X-carry module. The FCU, trigger, and slide are all original. My M18 is black to begin with instead of baby poop brown so why not spice it up.

I actually haven't cleaned it yet, hasn't really needed it. Comes apart easily enough and with most ammo, will cycle without the booster on my LTT Elite as it's very light. But honestly, if I didn't care about the finish, I could just throw it in the ultrasonic with some CLR and after 15 minutes or so, it'd be spotless. I think it'll wear the coating off but not 100% sure. I'll likely try at some point. That's full length in the photo, I usually run it with two less baffles.
where can I get one of these uppers?I did a thing. Since we were talking about shorty .22 hosts earlier, figured I'd show it off. It does handle nicely, and is only a little longer than the standard 5" bull barrel but way lighter.
The forward mounted red dot points nicely too, much easier to acquire the dot than a rear mount. I may come up with a lower profile mount later, and put a filler in the dovetail too.
It's kinda dumb looking without the can, but I'd never have reason to use it that way. I've got several of these uppers and they swap back and forth so easy, this one is dedicated for suppressed use only.
I added a stainless ring over the tiny bit of remaining barrel to make the barrel and receiver OD consistent with the suppressor. I figured there'd be an obvious joint anyway, might as well make it look good. It protrudes a little past the barrel shoulder because the suppressor thread insert has the same amount of protrusion, so this hides the gap.

I'm lucky to also have a Dan Wesson ECO in .45 ACP.
Took mine to the range Yesterday. Installed a binary trigger and a brace. Also running a suppressor. It is so much fun but I went through two 33 rd mags in about 2 minutes. I was shooting at steel targets from 100 yds and it is accurate with little to no drop.
I was always too intimidated by the PFC with a high and tight haircut and freshly greased “Death Before Dishonor” tattoo dancing with shim to try and cut in….
2021 we were on a coastal trip stopped in Vag Beach, Myrtle and Hilton Head.A buddy from my first enlistment got one of the best blow jobs he ever had in the parking lot at the corner of Western and Lejeune one night (back in '98). He met her at the pool hall that used to be there that night. He said he went to return the favor she wouldn't let him undo her jeans...then he noticed that her hands were almost as big as his.
I reminded him of this story when he ran for county sheriff in TX this fall. He threatened me.
Holy shit! That is exquisite! Thank you for posting that.

@pmclaine it is the Forward Control Designs plate. Made from steel, using a XS rear sight made for a Glock as the rear dovetail is a Glock cut.
I have CHPWS on an AXG Scorpion.
There was a thread about them.
