High Exposure

Well done Mrs Z!

Bring it here

I don’t think you are as familiar with the laws in N.J. as you think you are. Also - Internet secret: When you correct spelling and grammar during an internet discussion, you’ve lost most of your credibility. Because, see we all make mistakes and you end up with egg on your face. For example: • You should not start sentences with prepositions • You have a run on sentence. It should either be rewritten or you could use a semi-colon to fix it. • It should be badly, not bad • I think you meant you “don’t have THE right” • You missed a bunch of commas Just sayin’

We’re at over 12” here at Sandy Hook bayshore with drifts over 21” and my front walkway almost blown completely clear by the wind.

I just tried to head into work - I live by Sandy Hook and work in Central Middlesex County and my daily route takes me along the bayshore in Monmouth county. We are getting hammered here on the coast. I turned around about 5 miles out from home. I will try to go in again later - I’m lucky in my position I can flex my schedule, as long as I work my hours in the week. The roads do suck but the wind blown snow is the big safety issue. Visibility just flat sucks. It varies between 50 yards and 5 feet second to second. People were sliding through red lights right across Rt 36 from cross streets. If you don’t absolutely have to go anywhere, stay home. Stay safe. Stay warm.

Both eyes open when using RDS. Close your dominant eye when using irons, zeroing a RDS or you need to be more precise with RDS. Your non-dominant eye is now the most dominant.

The only 100% solution to the eye dominance issue is to either teach yourself to shoot your long guns with your support hand (this seems to be the go-to solution for the pros), or teach yourself to be right eye dominant. However, with a RDS, a lot of eyes dominance issues go away/can be trained away since you are supposed to shoot an RDS with both eyes open.

Like Fishnut, I enjoy this weather. I have spent many winter days riding or ice climbing in the back country of New Hampshire, Vermont, Colorado, Washington State, and Western Canada. Cotton Kills! - Yes, a little exaggeration for what most people do, but anything cotton does suck as cold weather layers. Avoid it at all costs. Layers of synthetics are the way to go - wicking/under, mid, insulating, outer/wind/water proof. Have a top layer that is removable to maintain temps when moving, working, sweating, overhearing and you can put back on when you stop working, are resting, or get cold.

You’ll do more to lose zero by taking the optic on and off than you will bumping your optic on the table while cleaning it.

I did read your post. All of them. The Griffin Blast Shield does not require a special stop on each gun. This blast shield is designed to attach to the same mounting lugs you would use to mount a USGI BFA. Any gun that has a muzzle device with mil-spec BFA mounting grooves will accept this blast shield. It is perfectly fine for us in NJ if you have muzzle devices that are compatible with USGI BFAs. You do NOT need shims, washers, or any other kind of spacers or timing devices to mount this blast shield on properly installed compatible muzzle device. The blast shield was loose because it did not fit properly on the Gen 2 PWS FSC552. It has nothing to do with special blast shield specific stoppers, shims, etc....

I should fit on any muzzle device that accepts a USGI BFA.

The shield was loose, the brakes were perfectly rock solid.

I think one has a crush washer and the other is shimmed. But that shouldn’t matter for the blast shield.

Spacers for which part?

Even if the floating zero issue has been resolved, you still have a badly designed battery box prone to rupturing batteries, shitty battery life when compared to other viable options out there, and a stupid auto shutoff feature that can’t be disabled. This all graciously provided by a company that purposefully hid known flaws in life saving equipment from users that depended on said equipment to keep themselves and others alive. No thanks.

Red dots created with LED technology - like on Aimpoints and Trijicon RMR and MRO can appear to be smeared or blurred across your field of view. What is supposed to be a crisp round dot may have an “aura” or a tail like a comet, or be shaped like a crescent. The problem is with the eye, not the optic. The new Aimpoint T2 optics have a lower occurrence of this happening than the older T1 optics. Now, an RDS that use lasers - like Eotech have less of an issue with the dot appearing to be being mis-shaped. But if you choose an EO you have to accept the shortcomings that go along with it - namely a poorly designed battery box (that causes the batteries to rupture in the optic), an auto shutoff feature, poor battery life, and reliability issues - not to mention the whole lying to consumers issue.

A lot of people get wrapped around the axle about the dot not being crisp. So what? I see a bit of a smear myself in my RDSs - Aimpoints, Holosun, and RMRs. It doesn’t hamper my ability one bit. Secret of the universe # 2388: A dot that isn’t crisp doesn’t matter. First, turn down the brightness a click or two. It reduces the bloom and cleans up the dot. Then pick a portion of the ‘smear’ or comet or * or whatever you see, and use that as your aiming point. Zero to that point on the reticle. I pick the 12 o clock position of the top edge of the dot as my precise point of aim - consider it my “crosshairs”. If i need to be precise - I bisect what I want to hit with the top edge of my dot and I am good. If speed is more important than precision I can place the whole dot on my target. Doesn’t matter if I have a dot, a triangle, a smear, or a comet. Yes, if I had my druthers, I would choose a clear crisp aiming point in a reliable optic, but I know it isn’t necessary. I will choose a more reliable system with a dot that is less than perfect all day long.

Roland slide on a full size grip that fits in a G34 holster? Yes please

It’s something that has been asked for. You can’t just slap a G19 slide on a G17 frame and have it work. People have been trying to get it to work for quite some time. And Hey, on the bright side, I bet it doesn’t fire if you drop it.

Don’t remove your optic to clean your gun. That’s unnecessary and just plain silly.

Wait. Why are you removing the dust cover?

I just was wondering if the NJSP logo - “The Upside-Down Triangle” - was engraved on it.
