Tactical Monkey

The size I wear for jeans, slacks, and cargo's is the size I ordered and they fit well. They are also adjustable via 2 velcro straps on the waist line. That should give you an inch or two of play.

I'd say relaxed, because I ordered the size I wear for casual clothing, and it fits the same. In the past I ordered a pair from a different company and I forever referred to them as "nut huggers" , so compared to those, these are cut relaxed in my book!!

Just bought two pairs.... Great price, and even though they have supposed stitch problems here and there, I couldn't find a single stitch out of place on either pair. Bump in case anyone else is interested. :clap:

A similar event happened to me a few months back. Long post, sorry, and also a false alarm. 2:45AM - Alarm goes off. As a side note: when the alarm was installed, I specifically asked for the bullhorn and other noise producing devices to be on the lower level of the house. That way, it's still loud enough to easily wake me up, but it's blaring loud downstairs (for the potential intruder to deal with), but not right in my ear. It still lets me hear something/someone coming up the stairs. So I pop out of bed, arm myself, and quickly check to see which zone went off: Basement Window It's just the wife and I, so she's dialing 911 and I park myself at the corner to the staircase. No need to clear the house, or even go downstairs. If they want to take all my personal possessions, that's fine with me, I have insurance. If they try and come upstairs, the it's castle doctrine. And God forbid a body is found lying on the stairs when the cops arrive, at least it will collaborate my story that the intruder was coming up stairs with intent on bodily harm. Cops come screeching down the street, I disable the alarm so the noise stops, and my wife still on the phone with the dispatch tells them to have the cops check the basement windows. They say nothing is broken, and ask to be let in. My wife tells them I am armed (which I was hit or miss on since it led to the inevitable "You have a permit for that?" ) and heading downstairs to unlock the front door. They popped there head in, looked around, I showed them my permit/receipt, thanked them, and they left. Turns out the window dropped in the jam just enough to separate from the sensor which caused the alarm. The next day the alarm company came out and fixed it so it won't happen again. It was actually a very good experience all around. My wife was a little shaken up after wards, as was I. But I was glad my first instinct was not shock, and I was somewhat thinking clearly. If you have the option of seeing what zone was activated on your alarm system I highly recommend adding it as a step in your mental process.

Botach is hit or miss... But they definetly have a questionable reputation. I placed one order from there where everything was showing "in-stock" but I received 2 items 2 weeks after I ordered it, and never received the 3rd item. I canceled it and did get a refund, but I would of payed the extra $20 to get the item from Midway, and get it in 3 days or less. I order from Midway all the time, and have never had an issue.

How bad do they stick out? Do they look decent or weird? It doesn't look that bad. At first I thought it looked a little funny, but after they both worked without problems, I didn't care what they looked like. They might not be perfect for CC, but since we can't do that in this state anyway, they are GREAT for range use.

I bought 2 of the CM 10rd Power Mags and they have worked flawlessly.

It looks pretty fugly if you ask me. Stock of a shotgun, barrel of a Storm, and an AR mag receiver to fill the void.... The more I look at it it seems Benelli took the design of a semi-auto shotty receiver and shrunk it, then tacked on the barrel and mag well for a 5.56 Not my cup of tea I guess

Denial helps no one but yourself 8-)

EOTech's are nice. I had a hard time seeing the recticle clearly because I have a astigmatism in both eyes. It makes the circle look like it's rotating slowly. Because of that I went with an AimPoint. Regarding co-witness there are two popular options: there is a true co-witness, where the center dot of the Eotech/aimpoint is in perfect line with a rear BUIS and front sight post (imagine the center dot of the Eotech resting at the tip of the front sight post) And a 1/3 co-witness, where the rear BUIS and front sight post line up in the lower 1/3 of the optic. This would have the Eotech recticle hovering just above the front sight post. For Eotechs you may need a riser to get a 1/3 co-witness, but I am not sure since I do not own one. Someone else may be able to chime in on that. About the night sights, it has it's pros and cons, but I've seen nights on a carbine with an aimpoint and I felt the sight picture was way to "busy". The tritium post and the aimpoint dot, plus BUIS (his was fixed, so it was always in the lower 1/3) I did not care for it. I would imagine it be the same for the Eotech. Hope that helps and wasn't too confusing

QFT! :twisted:

I don't need the safe, but I'd take the rifles inside it :twisted:

Almost spit my coffee on the keyboard Nice looking antique!

Nice pics, nice shooting, now I crave some watermelon!

I've been debating this for some time as well. My buddy had it done 2 years ago, and everywhere he goes he needs a bottle of eye drops. Apparently he's part of the 4% (or whatever it actually is) that has a bad case of dry eyes as a side effect. Every 2 hours or so he has to but drops in. That is what deters me, because with my luck I'll end up in the same percentage as him 8-)

I have always received phone calls when the permits were ready for pick-up. I say it's good news!

This post is just to raise my post count.

Link worked for me, and I signed the petition. This is the simplest thing to do if you are not the picket sign carrying type.

I have the same one. When loaded down with 2 pistols, ammo for both, mags for both, ears, eyes, cleaning stuff, spotting scope, stapler, ammo for 2 different caliber rifles, backup set of eyes and ears(for wife), and a can of soda... thank god for the shoulder strap

I am not a lawyer, nor a LEO, but that is the first time I have heard that. There are length of barrel restrictions on rifles and shotguns, but NOT on pistols. Plus firearms dealers all over the state carry compact models, so I am going to say that they are legal. The thing to keep in mind with handguns in the magazine capacity can not exceed 15 rounds. I'm not familiar with Glocks, but if it's a compact model I do not believe it can hold 15, so you should be fine.

Similar to how the same model EBR's were selling for $1250 6 months ago, and are now down to $950, the prices on ammo will continue to drop. I do think they will ever get back to what it once was, but will be significantly better then the pricing over the last 6-8 months.

I have a Comp M4 on my flat top and have the front A2 post sight. Using the two eyes open method that the Aimpoints were designed with, the front sight is there, but never blocks your view. Also, you can flip up a rear sight and still have a 1/3 co-witness.

That was priceless 8-)

Copy of my post from Damage's thread: If you are looking for a shorter stock, I highly recommend the Sully Stock from Defensive Edge. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it is built like a tank. I have one and its great for myself and my wife. It comes with the shorter buffer tube, buffer, spring, and screws. http://prostores2.carrierzone.com/servl ... ock/Detail
