The funny thing is, that coated bullet cost is retail

$0.065 for a 115gr coated bullet $0.02 for 8gr of Blue Dot $0.02 for a primer I do buy in bulk as an OEM and at wholesale prices so it's a little cheaper for me.

Oh, you mean current pricing, not normal. I miss the days of $0.03/rd .22LR.

That might be a little optimistic. I'm at about $0.10/rd factoring in coated bullets.

Listen to this guy...he's like a dealer outside of a NA meeting

Personally, I prefer first focal plane to second. With a first focal plane scope, the reticle changes in size relative to magnification however the holds/values are constant meaning a mil-dot at 4x is the same as a mil-dot at 20x. When you're working with a SFP scope, you have to do some additional math.

Because the VCOG is FFP while this Vortex is SFP. That's a big part of it.

Same. 115gr S&B is my go-to factory 9mm. The brass also has some pretty tight primer pockets that almost need swaged to reload but the brass quality is also excellent.

I've loaded Montana Gold and Rainier plated. I'm going to try some coated bullets next as I'm burning up a ton of 9mm shooting 60-80 rounds a day and I need cheap projectiles.

I've heard good things about the Vortex offerings and even bought my FIL a Strikefire for Xmas. Primary Arms are supposed to be okay too. That being said, I'm an Aimpoint/Trijicon snob and that's all that graces MY guns

At this time, no. The XD9 mags use a metal body and a plastic base. I don't have a commercially viable method of modifying the mags that I'm comfortable releasing.

Oh yeah, you bet. 6.5C uses a large frame AR receiver and the same bolt face as .308.

Did the gun in the video have the reset assist mechanism installed? I know that my M&Ps didn't have an audible reset prior to installing the APEX RAM but did afterward.

Nope. I prefer the Shield's trigger to any of my Glocks and unless Glock has completely redesigned the trigger (which they haven't), I have no interest in it as the G43 would be looking to replace my Shield in the line-up.

I'll be passing. I carry a G19 or a Shield depending on attire. The G43 does nothing for me.

C'mon guys...thinkin' too small. M134 and a Mk19 should be high on your lists

It's the factory LMT barrel. Current production ones are eight twist rather than the nine twist that they originally produced. Negative. The barrel extension is proprietary and only works with LMT's patented MRP quick change system.

Unfortunately not. People do source their own and have them shipped to me all the time though. Gunbroker is where a lot of them are found.

I typically do the following with my new Glocks: Install Trijicon HD sights Polish the trigger assembly (anything that slides or touches anything else gets polished to a nice mirror shine Install a lightweight trigger return spring (ZEV/Glockworx) Install a polished striker safety with lightened spring (ZEV/Glockworx) Install a lightweight connector (ZEV/Glockworx) Then I shoot the crap out of it to make sure it's dead nuts reliable.

Pretty much this. I load mostly blasting ammo but I don't sweat my .223 and .308 match ammo. If there's a few thousandths of variation or +/-.2 grains of powder, whatever. I'm not trying to set world records nor am I trying to hit anything at 1K yards. That's when the 6.5C that I load 50-100 at a time on a single stage press with a Chargemaster comes out and I geek out over details...

Yes. I still wear Surefires under electronic hearing protection. Once you lose it, it's gone so protect your hearing as much as you can.

Tuning the gas system does apply to more than just suppressed rifles. With a little work, you can basically eliminate muzzle rise and the majority of felt recoil. My .308 when unsuppressed recoils slightly harder than an AR15 and has nearly zero muzzle rise.

The fix is to slow down the carrier by either reducing the gas flow (adjustable gas block or key) or by increasing the reciprocating weight through the use of heavier buffers. Stiffer action springs can be used however they have an additional draw back in that they really slam the action closed again. Reducing the gas to the system will naturally reduce carrier velocity as there's less pressure acting on the bolt. Increasing the weight of the buffer increases the amount of force needed to cycle the action which absorbs that additional energy (in the form of higher pressure gas) being shoved into the system.

Suppressors increase the gas pressure in the operating system. The way a suppressor works is to delay the rapidly-expanding gasses hitting the atmosphere. Doing so requires that the suppressor contain those gasses. In a direct impingement AR15, this increase in pressure causes an increase in fouling but more importantly, an increase in bolt carrier velocity which can lead to malfunctions such as stovepipes and extracted cases failing to clear the ejection port.
