I hope its not too much trouble to post in this topic as I see it has been bumped a few times..
I am looking at Rubbermaids Fasttrack Garage organizer bracket rail thingy: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubbermaid-FastTrack-Garage-47-1-2-in-H-Upright-1784367/100592310 . But I might have a problem, I do not know if my old 2009 era stud finder is working properly or if I have metal studs in my apartment as the stud finder wont detect those and its not detecting anything except at the corners in my apartment, Rubbermaid has a hardware screw kit that comes with weird wall anchors https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubbermaid-FastTrack-Garage-Rail-Hardware-Pack-1784975/202868026
If those anchors are not recommended, then Id assume something like these would be better?: https://www.homedepot.com/p/E-Z-Anc...l-Anchors-with-Screws-10-Pack-25220/100153998
I plan on putting a Whelen Liberty and a FedSig Streethawk on this thing but am worried about the rail system coming off the wall if I were to use any wall anchors with my drywall wall. If anyone thinks there shouldnt be any problems, I might put a FedSig Arjent SL on there as well, but Id be happy with just the first 2 mentioned bars.
This cannot be a permanent install as I plan on slapping on some wall compound into the holes after taking everything down if I were to move out of this place. I have used wall joint compound on holes in a previous apartment in this building and have had no complaints from management about it.
