249s and 240s??? Where the hell do they need to use those?

I took it 3rd week of may. Looks like I got another month Have fun with yours though!

I'll guess that you don't have any people or pets in your house with severe allergies?

I thought that was the FNX45?

Very interesting. Can't say I've ever seen ant fuzz in my life carry a 1911.

It depends on if anyone has any allergies in your home. Like alec said if you get a very restrictive filter it can reduce the air flow greatly. But if you have someone with severe allergies it really sucks to buy the crappy $3 filters and have all that crap blowing out of your ducts. 3m has 3 levels. Red, purple, and blue. Least to highest restrictive. I buy the red filtrete 2 packs.

I have it on my ps3 lol. You can get it on psn

I see your points. I'm just saying.

1911 were not designed to have such tight tolerances. Modern manufacturers have done that to "maximize accuracy". Buy a colt As far as capacity I've seen average gunfight stats range from 2.2 rounds to 5 kinds per person. One report said anything above that the person fired until empty regardless if there was still a threat. 1911s can be made ambivfriendly with an ambi saftey. The slide can be slingshot and mag release can be manipulated with the firing hand. I've also never heard any 1911 owner complain to me about trouble dealing with their safety. In fact most enjoy being able to walk around cocked and locked.

Don't mean to veer the thread. Just saying that we tend to over complicate things. If kids or gf are in a different room I will grab the closest gun and b-line it to their location. If its just me I grab the nearest gun and get to the bedroom if possible. My AR is preferable but I don't usually carry it around with me at home. My handgun is more accessible but I will make an effort to get the rifle. If the S really HTF I will grab whatever weapon is readily available at that moment. Situation more than anything will determine weapon to me.

I'm asking why you would be doing so.

Why would you be "room clearing" in a small apt with a possible intruder in the house? Is it not prudent to stay in one place to cover the entrance and call 911? I can't speak for the op but I've never been formally trained on room entry and assault.

I'm in the same boat at the moment. I've decided on my AR15 with .223 and my .45 with federal personal defense ammo

I tried to experiment with the exaggerated grip shortly after getting into ar's. At the time I was doing the mag well grip and after seeing some of the magpul video I tried extending my arm out all the way. It was incredibly awkward and kind of fatiguing to keep for any length of time. After some time and a couple carbine classes later ive settled into a forehand grip that almost mirrors my trigger hand. I have my bottom 3 fingers on the vfg, index goes on the underside of the hand guards, and my thumb points at the target riding high on the side. I feel like it gives me good balance and control, being able to pull the gun into my shoulder to spread some of the weight.

You learn quick lol I always wear my mechanix gloves if not shooting from a rest.

I respect the fact that you would choose a gun that you feel more comfortable with. I do however disagree with your statements that they are less safe.

I think your reasoning is fundamentally flawed. There is just as much of a chance of a ND. In either case all you have to do is pull the trigger. I feel like your working that hammer way to much. If you identify an intruder you shouldn't be screwing around trying to cock the gun. Keep the intruder in sights and a strong master grip on the firearm.

How would a decocker be any different in this situation? You think the double action trigger negates how jumpy you are? How about not pointing a loaded gun at someone you havent addressed.

This. Didn't see your post when I wrote mine lol

Im pretty sure I can defeat my safety and fire my colt quicker and fire more accurately off the draw than any other double action pistol I've used. Thumbing the safety down is just part of the draw now. There is no need to decock the 1911 anyway. If you're in a "gunfight" of sorts and still upright after the shooting stops, you sure as hell better have a fresh mag in and ready to roll. If you are doing idpa, you drop mag, rack slide (x2 or 3)and show clear, then pull trigger in safe direction. If I hear something go bump in the night, and find out its not a threat, safety goes on and gun is stored. Why is a decocker needed? Personally I hate them.

IWC set up on the middy HG. I don't think its too bad. There's the tried glide and strong side QD attachment. I don't think the sewn ends are necessary as mine hasn't moved at all with just the tried glides holding it in place.

Well that's kinda why I was looking at it. I thought it would work out well on my chest rig. I don't think I'll have an everyday use for it. If you get it make sure you use the coupon code for benchmark I posted in the hot deals section.

I bought a rock river wrench from midway for $6 I think. Read reviews before you buy. Some of the Chinese "multi purpose" wrenches are out of spec and made of shitty metal.

I have mine on for that exact reason lol. I figure it does no harm hanging out on there. To be honest if youre gonna spend extra $ you can just buy a $6 wrench. It isn't complicated to switch out and the wrench is the only required tool' other than a way to support your rifle I guess. I would prefer the attachment point to be as centered as possible.

I'm gonna echo HE, Midwest, and Jack with regards to the 2 point slings. I used a generic 1 point for my first carbine class and it was awkward and kind of uncomfortable. I have since switched to the VTAC 2 points on both of my carbines. I've got the normal padded version (as opposed to the LaRue version with the sewn on QD's) when they were on sale at SKD. They came out to be cheaper that way. I believe skd is 10% off of everything right now btw. As far as connection points go, I use the IWC mounts in my Magpul hg. I have no problem with the middy guards to be honest. I'm currently using the QD on the strong side of my STR stock at the moment, cause I havent gotten around to buying a QD endplate. If you REALLY want to be able to change to a 1 pt sling, IWC has these: http://www.impactweaponscomponents.com/product/2-to-1-point-triglide-threads-into-your-sling-and-makes-it-convertible/ Just replaces the tri glide from your sling. I have one and it works fine, but I don't really find myself using it. If you do, I definitely suggest you use a QD point as close to the rear of the receiver as possible. It is awkward otherwise. I can post some pictures up tomorrow if I remember.
