High Exposure

Agreed

The CompTac clips loosened up on me to the point where if I have enough tension in the pouch to hold the mag, the whole pouch comes off my belt. In all fairness, my comptac pouches are probably 10-12 years old - the pouches with the clips that were molded in from the back. I replaced them with Bladetech pistol and Tenicor Rifle mag pouches.

Double mag pouch: Bladetech. Single mag pouch: Tenicor /thread ETA: Keep in mind, the belt has a lot of say in how the mags ride. A loose and floppy belt will not hold the mags vertical or tight to the body no matter how great the pouches are.

I carry the same gun regardless of the weather. Rule of thumb is to only have one clothing layer concealing the firearm regardless of how many layers you are wearing. Sometimes that layer may change - ex: wearing a coat, over a sweatshirt, over a tshirt and going from house to outside to car to outside to house - you want to tuck the sweatshirt behind the pistol while the coat is over it, then pull the sweatshirt over the pistol again as you unzip or remove the jacket. If the sweatshirt comes off, the the tshirt is pulled over the pistol to conceal it. As you go the other way, clothes are tucked in again so only one layer conceals. This as all based on carry position as well so the process may need to be adapted to fit your personal needs. For example - I carry AIWB, ergo an unzipped jacket does not conceal for me, so the sweatshirt needs to be pulled over the gun as soon as I unzip. However someone carrying on the hip, an unzipped jacket may work just fine without the need to cover with the sweatshirt, at least until the jacket is removed.

Joe Riedy of Sights & Trigger is holding his low light class Sat 11/11 in Lehigh PA for any of you doubters. And for the elievers that want to make sure their shit works the way they think it will. Not a lot of outdoor ranges around NJ allow this type of training - so this is a rare opportunity to experience it. It’s a great class for low-lights noobs and experienced folks alike to get a chance to fight the “dark monster”. You will compare gear, learn techniques, figure out your switchology, and evaluate what works. I go every year and I learn something new each time. I will be there. Here is Joe’s class ad. It’s open enrollment now. “More than half of all armed encounters occur in conditions of reduced lighting, but how many of us really get to train in these conditions? Whether you keep a gun in your home for defense are a concealed carry holder or carry a gun for a living, this class will provide you with the skills you need to prevail in reduced light encounters. Low light training opportunities do not happen very often get in on it while you can. On November 11th S&T Training & Consulting LLC will be holding a Low Light Pistol/Carbine Class at the Lehigh Township Police Range. Cost is $175.00 plus a $25.00 range fee for a total of $200.00 per person. Class size is limited. Start time is 1200 and we will end at approximately 2000. PLEASE NOTE: This class will fill quickly! At this time, I have opened this class to friends of S&T and not announced it publicly in order to give you first shot at attendance. This course is designed for the armed professional or the armed citizen who takes his or her safety and security seriously. It will cover the techniques and tactics needed to prevail in a low light situation. Topics include firearms safety as it relates to professional gun handling in real world situations, sight alignment and sight picture, trigger control, stance, grip, draw, reloading, malfunction clearances, flashlight techniques and tactical considerations, use of cover and equipment selection. Weapon & Gear Class Requirements: - Eye and Ear Protection (a baseball style hat is also recommended) - Serviceable handgun - Serviceable rifle/carbine with sling and weapon mounted light - Serviceable holster (no cross draw, shoulder holsters, or Serpa holsters unless it is an issued duty rig) - Magazine or speed loader pouch - Minimum of three serviceable magazines for rifle and pistol - 300 rounds of ammunition for pistol and rifle - Quality flashlight. You will need a handheld light, weapon mounted lights are also welcome - Clothing suitable for range activity and the prevailing weather conditions For more information contact [email protected]” Cross posted in the weaponlight thread: https://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/92514-i-dont-need-lights-for-my-firearms-change-my-mind/&do=findComment&comment=1436461

If they don’t know what to call it, they don’t get my business…..

What could possibly go wrong?

Firing isn’t the issue I’m speaking of - sure, a heavy muzzle-end will help with recoil effect, but you can do the same with a brake/comp without the weight. It’s driving the muzzle to engage multiple targets in the horizontal or even vertical plane. Starting and stopping the rifle as you point it at targets. For that you want any significant extra weight at the center of balance, which is usually where the mag is, or between the center of balance and your shoulder.

I never understood putting an optic there above the gas tube. Especially an EO Tech. It’s the hottest part of the gun (which can’t be good for any optic) and the EOTech has proven issues with thermal shift affecting their zero. The EO is also a relatively heavy optic and putting it out in front of the center of balance of the rifle makes it harder than it has to be when driving the gun.

Lol

Black coffee. Hot. That is all.

If you decide to break it up, I’d be interested in some of it.

This is the method I subscribe to as well, if I don’t have a secure location to store them or a very inconspicuous method of transport for them.

Guys, this ain’t a 16” barreled 6lb M4. The rifle may be taller than she is! Peel, what’s the overall length of this beast? Have you tried contacting the range? When I have traveled out of state for classes and had to stay in a hotel, the range would often offer to lock participants rifles in their secure armory for safe keeping. I would try to make it as secure as possible in the car. I wouldn’t keep dragging it in and out unless I had a discrete and secure method to carry and secure it. With a hotel, you can often find a back or side door. With a B&B, there is usually title to no chance of “sneaking” it into the house/cottage. A locking hard case cable locked to something in your car works as well. FOPA covers you for travel if the gun is legal at the starting location, and the end location of your travels, even if it would otherwise be illegal at some locations you drove through. I have a couple of lockable hard Pelican cases if you want to borrow one.

I thought it was Santini…

No problem you say? Gaslighting?!? Poppycock!!! These dangerous weapons of war are shooting F35s out of the air! Something must be done!!!! Think of the pilots, man.

Good morning! In celebration of the sun finally shining today, I cooked up some homemade biscuits with butter and honey, 3 eggs over medium, and 2 slices of Taylor Pork Roll. Life is good!

It’s not necessarily about the reload (although with the NJ mag limit of 10 rounds or less, that should be taken into consideration). A large number of malfunctions can be traced to bad mags. Sometimes you need a different mag to keep the gun in the fight.

You must have not gotten the memo. There is a 3rd newly approved rule: ”No matter how great you may think she/he is, someone out there is sick of their shit.”

I have one extended and one normal. You can see the difference in my post above: I generally use the extended clip with mags that have extensions (just so they don’t protrude out of my pocket too much) and the standard clip for mags that have standard floor plates. This keeps the mags just under the lip/edge of my pants pocket. However, even a standard floor plate works fine as it is easy to grab for a reload, even with the extended pocket clip.
