I'm watching the rise of striker fired pistols. I know the glock has been around a long while. And indeed it is striker fired. But.... the new iteration of fully cocked striker fired pistols with 5lb triggers and short resets are gaining in popularity very quickly. VP9, PPQ, P320. I see a lot of people going this route. It has me concerned. Im not that concerned by those that are regulars at the range. But a vast majority of people that shoot are of the variety of maybe a box of ammo a year. If a lot of that type of shooter is buying that kind of pistol, I think we are going to see a rise in ND's. What say the forum?

I have never used this mount but I do know they make quality stuff. So for your consideration: http://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPFTSM-30/1E

Which causes me to lean towards one piece mounts. High rings tend to be in the 1.25 range and mounts are in the 1.5 range and of course give you forward extension. So then the question becomes QD or non QD?

Here is the question. Is the riser one that has real estate over the handrail? Is your front ring forward of the receiver? If the answer is yes, then you will need an extended 1 piece mount. If the answer is no, then you may be able to use med high or high rings. How much height does your current riser add and what is the hight of your current rings? Does that height work for you? Does the bell of your optic clear your handguard? In addition, make sure your eye relief works in all positions. It might be ok from the bench but go prone and make sure eye relief is good their too. edited to add a lot of posts have transpired since I forgot to hit submit . Ill catch up as soon as possible...

I still contend there has to be more to the story. Its not in my wheelhouse to refute the formula one way or another. But I do know the labors gone through by Schmidt and Bender, Premiere, Leupold, and US Optics to get second focal plane red dots to work in their scopes. Indeed astigmatism is an issue for me with red dots and the reticle of the Eotech is worse for me. But on the clock the difference is non existant so why not go with the more rugged, better battery life solution(Aimpoint). But this is why I have moved to mostly scopes. As always, optics is all about the tradeoffs and compromise.

Door kicker gun, red dot. When magnification comes into play, I go with a scope. I don't care for flip to the side mag solutions. I prefer the advantages an actual optic offers over a magnifier. On a side note, I don't see how the size of the dot/sight picture would not be increased on the eotech/3X. I suspect that it is, its just not as pronounced.

Oh! OK

The animation is missing the ejector pin.

I wonder whats holding in the ejector?

I would have no issues installing a BC 1.5 as is. In my opinion it indeed passes the "pinky test". The people you talked to seem to me to lack understanding of the subject matter. The extension is not for flash, its to make length for 14.5" barrels. I hope your barrel isn't 14.5 because the smith will then have made it an NFA weapon.

Tack Tickle, Im not saying the position isn't defendable, but the point is to not end up with the risk of having to legally defend your position, post indictment!

I happened to have been thinking about this a lot lately. Specifically these hybrid comps. Unfortunately I come to the conclusion I usually do. And that is, in NJ you must always consider you may get a prosecuter that's not gun friendly. So if there is any grey area that can be controverted for evil I advise to steer clear. If you have deep pockets or a law degree by all means procede, you would have my moral support

Congrats on the acquisition!

What is its intended purpose?

So the Scar17, HK417, and the SR25 are not worthy of discussion? Keep in mind that the only one I haven't owned is the HK. In my opinion the MWS is too heavy as a battle rifle. Its fine as a DMR and that is what the Brits adopted it as. As a battle rifle, the SCAR is simply very hard to beat. They are all reliable so weight becomes a key deciding factor. Having run the MWS in some 3 gun comps, shooting on the move or in cases where the amount of ground covered is significant, it made controlling the bob and weave a bit of a challenge. To add to that the balance is a bit forward over a normal 308 as the barrel extension is pretty massive for the quick barrel change feature and likely contributes to the front end portly feel.

What he needs: "I am looking to have anyone who had a firearm seized from Brick Armory to contact me and provide me with either proof of purchase or invoices for consignment and gunsmithing. I will need their name, address, phone number, gun make, model, caliber, serial number and invoices or proof of purchase."

Yeah I knew a few like that

So the KAC SR15 is closing in on 15000 rounds and according to the author did a 3390 round session on its last outing. It has still not been cleaned and has still not failed.

H.E. nailed it!

The last pic, the Aprilia Tuono.

Here is the thing, when I travel in gun friendly states, there is a ton of signage reminding you to check. I don't recall seeing any in our neck of the occupied territory.

Shoot-ability is a legitimate reason for consideration of the 9mm.

If you want cool AND reliable, just get a KAC SR15 E3-Mod 2. Current test going on, no cleaning, with a 20k round goal. Its closing in on 10,000 rounds. It has had 1 failure to extract which was believed to be ammo related. It very much looks like Old Dirty, for those of you familiar with that FAL test. Better than any commie peasant gun!
