Tactical Monkey

http://www.opticsplanet.net/revision-military-eyewear-sawfly-eyeshield-u-s-military-kit.html They offer different frame sizes, but I just ordered the "regular". Mine came with the case, Clear lens, and Smoke lens (same as in link) but DVOR had them for $55. And since DVOR and Opticsplanet are one in the same, you could wait it out for a cheaper price it don't need them right away. I like my pair A LOT. They are very comfortable and ballistic rated.

Shane and I were recently talking about this, so OK - I'll weigh in! HA, get it... :thsmiley_deadhorse: BCM 14.5" LW profile w/FSC556, DD Omega 9, Aimpoint T1, Troy rear BUIS (fixed front), Troy VFG (super stubby), ACE Entry stock, SL Polytac in Vikings mount): 7lbs 6oz BCM 14.5" Gov profile w/FSC556, DD Lite 12, TA33G-H Acog, Troy F & R BUIS, Magpul AFG, Sully Stock, no light): 8lbs even DPMS LR-308B 18" fluted Heavy barrel, Apex Gator 10" HG, USO SN-3 scope, Burris Xtreme rings, Vltor Mod-Pod, Magpul PRS stock): 13lbs 6oz I was shocked at how close the weight was between the two BCM's (especially with sully vs Ace Entry stocks), but if I added a light and mount it would get closer to being a pound. But even loaded up they both very manageable, with the LW profile being my go-to, and the one I used for the MDTS carbine training. The DPMS was roughly what I expected with a 1.7 pound scope mounted on top

Revision SawFly Excellent glasses and are on DVOR every now and again for $55 which is a great price...

If you're within an hour or the show it's a worthwhile trip. HOWEVER: get there on saturday when the doors open. By 11AM it is usually so packed it takes 15 min it make it down an aisle. There are a few tables that have good deals on ammo considering there is no shipping, but have a cheat sheet ready (or use your phone, if able) to check their prices against your normal vendors. I would def go but I'm tied up this Saturday morning.

If you are on Facebook I recommend you "Like" MidwayUSA. Once you do it displays a link on the page that gives you a coupon code for: Spend $50 or more & save $10 $100 or more & save $15 $200 or more & save $25 $300 or more & save $35 This is a better percentage off then their typical Bullseye Bargain that they run every few weeks. (compare 10% of the BB, to 12-20%) Expires Sept 30th so get to "liking"

Shoot me a PM. I have a DPMS LR-308 that I am looking to sell. 18" fluted barrel, Apex mid-length handguard, and some other accessories included. ETA specifics...

+1. It's been a downpour here since 1:30AM, with a good bit of wind - maybe gusts of of 35+ mph

That's my bad... sportsmansclub/sportsmensclub FIXED! Original post is updated and good to go. Thanks for pointing that out.

+1. Bought his book a year ago or so. Pretty interesting stuff, and it does cover topics that most wouldn't think of when planning contingencies for a SHTF scenario. I'd offer to lend my copy out, if axeman ever gives it back to me...

"Is that an appendix carry, or are you just happy to see me?" :icon_lol:

My favorite brass cased ammo: IMI 55gr FMJBT - 1200rds for $318 (+ shipping) from Widener's link Excellent ammo, and my cache of choice.

These guys make all the sacrifices you can imagine to be part of the team, tip of the spear. God rest their souls - heroes every one of them...

Greetings from a fellow South Jersey shooter. If you click on the link in my signature below it will take you to a post that lists the most frequented ranges in NJ, along with their locations, prices, restrictions, etc. Good hunting!

+1. It is vitally important to understand and compensate for mechanical offset if you use a rifle as your HD gun (loaded with proper HD ammo). In that arena almost all of your shots would be less than or about 15 yds, unless you live in a mansion

You have to give this guy credit. It takes a whole lot of guts to self post a video like that on the internet, especially in today's generation of labeling things as an "Epic Fail". That being said, muscle memory is what shot him in the leg. In his video he mentions how earlier in the day he was using a thumb activated release holster (I think he said it was 5.11) and then shot himself with the SERPA. It's not that one is more dangerous then the other, but he was conditioned to pushing his thumb down, drawing rapidly, and firing at close retention. So that is exactly what his brain did. Unfortunately the same thumb activation motion disengaged his safety, and his issues clearing the SERPA holster slowed down his draw time to where he squeezed the trigger too early; which one could argue was also due to the tempo he was firing at earlier in the day. TRUE: the gun will not fire unless you pull the trigger TRUE: he should of kept his trigger finger on the frame until he got the muzzle angled/pointed toward the target TRUE: speed can keep you alive, but not if you shoot yourself before you engage the threat There is a reason you should pick a single (if possible) style of holster for all of your handguns, train with it, stick with it, and have it committed to muscle memory. My $0.02
