    Run and gun optic

    The 12:00 piggyback gets a lot of hate but I always seem to find a situation where it's the fastest/easiest option. It really shines on barricades with tight ports and awkward positions. It's also great to use on close targets when monopoding off a mag and you're main optic is dialed up to...

    Run and gun optic

    If you're already doing well in the matches then I'd say let your freak flag fly and run whatever you want. You'll get lots of meaningless advice from anonymous people who have never done anything like this. I've been told that the 12:00 piggyback MRDS is "impossible" to use, yet I've taken...

    Run and gun optic

    I've competed in lots of Run N Guns since 2015. Along the way I've used irons(20" A2), 1-4 LPVO, 1-6 LPVO, and 2.5-10 "MPVO" w/ piggyback MRDS. The various matches have different characters and different focus. Some have the longest shot at 300 yards on a big steel, others might have a stage...

    Red Dot on CCW Pistol. Do you guys use them?

    Simo probably would have given his left nut for an Aimpoint T2. Keep in mind optics were shit in 1940., his shots were generally short range, and it was a bitterly cold winter. But yeah, the world's best military snipers today always pick iron sighted bolt actions over semi autos topped with...

    Red Dot on CCW Pistol. Do you guys use them?

    Yeah, some of these replies are head scratchers. We moved on from iron sighted rifles and generally everyone has accepted the benefits of red dots and magnified optics. Those same benefits apply to pistols, although generally it's magnified since pistols are harder to shoot. Both USPSA and...

    Red Dot on CCW Pistol. Do you guys use them?

    The dot enhances everything. Speed, accuracy, accountability. If you're a good shooter already the transition doesn't take any time, you just do less work with your eyes and get more feedback while you shoot. The tighter the shot, the faster you go, the more the dot helps. If your...

    Sleeves serve no purpose other than to pinch your hand on a reload.

    Glock 44 (chambered in 22lr) Holster Help

    The G44 does not fit Safariland G19 holsters unless you remove the post which locates the muzzle. The barrel axis on the 44 is lower in the slide, and of course is a smaller diameter. It will work in a 17 or 34 length Gen5 holster.

    glock 19 gen 5-17r mags?

    17rd mags work fine in a 19 but dont sit flush. 24 and 33rd mags also work fine.

    Suppressors Talk me out of a K can

    What were you using to meter? 136db sounds low. I just got a bootleg adjustable carrier for my 12.5 curious to see if it makes a meaningful difference

    Suppressors Talk me out of a K can

    Regarding handling and feel: Both length and weight matter. On my Turbo K there is a noticeable "swing weight" difference just going from the standard QD mount to the Kurz mount. The difference is only ~1 oz and 5/8" but it's very noticeable. Going to the DT mount is ~6 oz and 3/4" and it...

    Suppressors Talk me out of a K can

    It's crazy that some people can't fathom another person having different priorities. To summarize: -A K can will not be as quiet as a full size -A K can will be quieter than an unsuppressed rifle -Port pop on ARs is loud regardless of what can you use If the size and weight are important to...

    Suppressors Talk me out of a K can

    I just switched to the Kurz QD mount but haven't tested outdoors yet. I have used the DT on a 16" barrel. There wasnt a noticeable difference on the 16" between DT and QD. The DT mount is a lot lighter than QD and completely changes the handling. Makes me tempted to use A419 mounts. I...

    Suppressors Talk me out of a K can

    I use a Turbo K on a 12.5. zero regrets. All cans are loud on 5.56. I've been able to do a side by side comparison with the Turbo K and DA nomad on a 10.5 and 12.5 AR. The Turbo is marginally louder, but it's down range noise. If you're near a structure you'll hear the noise bounce back...

    The Ultra Light with Mil Quad would be great. For some reason SWFA doesn't want my money.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 1x-6.5x SMRS pro and non pro why the hate?

    At the $500-600 blow out price they were a good deal. At the $1k+ price they didn't bring anything to the table. I have an FDE Pro and like it for what it is, but I'm tempted to sell it for a Delta Stryker or Credo HX
