I would not under any circumstances cut the spring. Even if the spring didn't go around the block, loading it to 10 rounds with the block installed would be no harder than loading it to full capacity without the block installed. Some magazines have a little plate that goes on the bottom of the spring. You may be able to argue that epoxying the block to that metal plate should be sufficient, since the magazine was designed to function with that metal plate. Then you would still be able to disassemble and clean your mags. And honestly, I think the chances of your mags being checked is slim to none. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, or a NJ resident anymore.

I have never thought about that, but I find the probability that I'll hit both switches simultaneously pretty low. I'm just gonna stick with mine, there's plenty other stuff I need....

I have a TLR-6 on my Shield, which is my primary carry gun, and I absolutely love it. I didn't know that they sold TLR-6's without the laser. Mine is set to only use the light though, as I am not a fan of lasers.

Nobody here said that you needed to identify the intruder's eye color, you're twisting people's words. You need to identify if they are an immediate threat to you, and you simply cannot do that based off of someone's silhouette. A prosecutor will most definitely target the fact that you could only see his outline, and not determine whether or not he had a weapon in his hand, was facing towards or away from you, so on and so forth. Someone can most certainly break into your house, through all these strategic deterrents, and still not necessarily be an immediate threat to you....especially in NJ. If I remember correctly, you have night lights placed throughout your house and there is enough ambient light to see someone. Well that means that they can see you just as well as you can see them. Your only advantage is knowing the layout of your house. Why not have the advantage of being able to blind and disorient them? Now imagine that the intruder has a light. Even a dim light, we'll say 50 lumens, is more than enough to blind and disorient you at night. Now you can't protect your family. Don't mistake my intention of pointing these things out to you. I have absolutely no sympathy for this hypothetical intruder. If you shot someone that broke into your house, I'd pat you on the back. But that doesn't protect you from the criminal and civil prosecutions that will be sure to follow.

Not to argue the small details but....a unicorn is simply a horse with a spiraled horn on its head. A pegasus is a winged horse. You're looking for a "pegasus unicorn" or a "winged unicorn". That being said, I have a P320 compact that I will be reunited with in a little less than 2 weeks. I simply cannot wait. My P320 is probably my favorite striker fired pistol I have ever shot. Some would call it a mythical beast with both a horn and wings.

Allowed different opinions, yes. But using a weapon for home or self defense without being able to actually identify if the person you're shooting is a threat or not is reckless, and has the potential to give the community a bad reputation. There's no reason to get upset about a community not wanting a bad name because someone decided to do something reckless. There's a huge difference between eating our own, and holding each other accountable. For those that think seeing the silhouette of a person is enough identification to shoot them, please answer this. Why don't you drive in the dark without your headlights on? There's enough ambient light from the moon and street lights that you can see the silhouette of other cars, right?

If you read what I said, and interpreted that as stating that the police would protect you, then it's quite obvious that you also lack reading comprehension skills. Maybe the cherry picking is what led to you think that's what the sentence meant. Hint: Read the sentence that you decided to leave out. And you seem to be under the impression that one's willingness to push through your deterrents is justification to shoot them. It's not. But do whatever you want. Just don't be surprised when you're charged with and convicted of a crime. ETA: I'm not talking about some drunk that accidentally breaks into your house. I'm talking about a burglar that intentionally enters, but does not actually pose a threat to your safety.

Are the bang boxes really worth it?

I don't know why you're having a hard time understanding that in the state of NJ you can't legally shoot someone for simply breaking into your house. If they're not an immediate threat to you, you can't legally use deadly force against them. Believe it or not, the police are actually quite good at their jobs. It will normally be pretty apparent whether they were a threat to you or not. There are COUNTLESS prosecutors that would gladly stand against you on an issue like this. To assume that you're going to be safe shooting anyone that happens to make it past your deterrents is incredibly ignorant.

I also recently got a TLR-7 for my P320 Compact, with both an IWB and OWB light bearing holsters from Stealth Gear. I also hate strobe features. A 500 lumen light will more than disorient someone in the dark, strobe is not needed.

I don't understand what the fuss is all about. I find them to be a little tight in the crotch, but are otherwise comfortable

The new "stretchy" pants are some of the most comfortable pants I have ever worn. I have a pair of Dockers, and a pair of the 5.11 Defender Flex. The 5.11's are my favorite, but they're expensive so I only have one pair and don't wear them often. My wife has a pair from Eddie Bauer that feel quite nice, but they're also expensive if they're not on sale.

I didn't know about that series. Kind of expensive. However, between my last post and now, I ordered a TLR-7 and a Stealth Gear OWB and IWB holster. It's too easy for me to spend money

I have about 50 Panasonic C123A's that I got from my previous job for free. I'll run those in regularly used lights and my security camera...but my HD and go to lights will always have fresh Surefire C123A's in them.

I'm sorry. That's cool, but $185 is too pricey for me. Not really related to this thread, but belts in general. Right now I need to figure out if I want to use my P320 compact as my go to pistol, then pick a light for it that also has holster options. I currently have no light bearing holsters. I've spent quite a bit of time looking around, and there aren't too many options that I'm fond of. Thinking of moving to an M&P.

Ahh makes sense now. My bad should have clarified. Okay so it seems like my range belt will work for now. I'm not really in the mood to spend about $300 or so after the battle belt, belt, holster, and various pouches. ETA: The Navy left a bad taste in my mouth for thigh holsters. They had these horribly designed holsters that even if you tried to wear properly, kept a loaded pistol pointed right at your knee. I know that most thigh holsters aren't like that, but they still just don't sit right with me.

Is a battle belt not worn at the same height as a regular belt? As stated, a lot of times they attach to a velcro belt that runs through the belt loops. Also, you can get low mount holster mounts for belts too.

Gotcha. Not sure how you'd be able to draw faster, but everything else makes sense. For how expensive it is, for now I think I'll stick with what I have.

Okay so another noob question for those that are in the know. Benefits of a battle belt. My understanding is that the pros are: You can set it up to be load bearing. It's easier to put on, because you don't have to loop it through belt loops...you normally have a keeper or velcro on through your belt loops that the battle belt will attach to. Padded so it's a little more comfortable to wear. Cons: Less breathable so you tend to sweat under the belt a lot. Anything I'm missing?

Are you thinking of New London, CT? I'm in New London, NH. Often confused, but not at all the same place. I spent a couple winter months in New London, CT. Screw that place lol.

Not there. I've been on terminal leave almost 2 months. My EAOS is actually tomorrow. Living the civilian life now I'm in New London, which is near the VT border.

I live in NH now homie.

I was looking at that. It just seems a bit much for now, when all I really need is to add a hydration pack.

Everyone here is just talking about home defense, but there are many other scenarios that could warrant the use of a firearm where a WML would be advantageous. I live on several acres, where there have been bear and coyote sightings, and my dog has to piss at night. I'm sure as hell going to use one of my guns if my dog gets attacked by a bear or coyote. I have a 1000 lumen light on my AR, and I wish it was brighter for the property that I live on. My wife works at a college. Antifa starts violently protesting there and she has to barricade herself in a room, I'm sure as hell grabbing my rifle and pistol and hauling ass there to get her out. These are a couple hypothetical scenarios where I'd want a bright as hell white light on my gun, and there are countless others that I'm not going to type out, or can't think of at the moment. And for those who say "the military and police have used handheld lights for years, so it must work": "The most dangerous phrase in the language is 'We've always done it this way'."

I was looking at both when I was shopping around. I don't remember the exact numbers, but this was slightly more expensive than a similar setup from Spiritus. The difference was that this also had the small pouches on both sides. I had also read a couple reviews of people that had both the Spiritus and D3CRM rigs, and were happier with the D3CRM. I'm currently trying to figure out how to attach a hydration rig to to it. Not as easy as some other rigs. That's one of the reasons why I liked it, I don't feel like I need to carry around a butt-ton of stuff. I have 1 rifle mag in the rifle, 3 on the chest rig, and 1 on my belt. And 1 pistol mag in the pistol, 1 on the chest rig, and 2 on my belt. I feel like 5 rifle mags and 4 pistol mags should be enough for me. I'm going to put some medical gear in the front pouch of the chest rig, and I already have an IFAK on my belt. Make holes and plug holes.
