High Exposure

Zeke, you stop taking your meds or something?

I have no idea of what you are talking about.....

I don't get it..

Especially Cohen.

Details man! What are you? Some kind of noob?

Nice. Good grab.

Sweet! I love the gray frame. Did you get just the frame? Or a whole G19 with a gray frame?

I'd say good to go. Says nothing about flash hiding abilities in the description - its marketed solely as a brake - and those prongs are no different than what's on the PWS FSC556.

One of the toughest guys I know carries either a gray and blue or ERDL Camo Coach Leather satchel. We do tease him bout it, but we tease because it's Coach, not because he carries a bag. I often carry a Sneakybag SUB or SOTech Mission Go Bag when out with the family. Especially if we will be away from home or the car for awhile. AVB, rereading your original post I just caught that we're wearing your bag on the same side as your pistol. Try to avoid that brother. Makes your drawstroke much more complicated and you run the risk of getting your arms tangled in the bags straps. This is especially true if you are carrying condition 3 (empty chamber and full mag) and have to manipulate the gun to make it hot.

OGR649, It was great meeting you. I am glad you enjoyed Joe's class. It was a good day, and the three brand new shooters I brought had a blast, they are already bugging me to go to the next one. I always have fun in Joe's classes and I learned a few new things myself. I like to try and take at least one basic class every year to brush up on the fundamentals. The executing the basics under stress are where gunfights are won and lost.

Try the MSA/Sordin Supreme Pro X behind the neck model. They have gel seals which makes wearing your glasses under them much more comfortable and prevents the "gapping" you are describing, even when turning your head. https://www.amazon.com/MSA-Sordin-Supreme-green-cups/dp/B010E12YNK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1501852541&sr=8-8&keywords=msa+supreme+pro-x Yes, they are expensive. But I think quality powered ear pro is the single most important piece of equipment you can buy when participating in the shooting sports. It protects your hearing while enhancing your situational awareness keeping everyone safer. If you feel the need to double up - I generally do when shooting indoors, and don't when outdoors - try some Surefire Sonic EP plugs. You can get them in a size small.

I agree with Hairless Ape. All you need is a quality mil-spec* lower. That being said, If I was going to buy a Gucci lower right now it would be either an ADM UIC lower: https://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/view/product/895/ Second choice would be a Rebel Arms Mod-3 lower. * A truly MiL-spec lower. Not just one that is marketed that way. Buy from a company that has a reputation for producing quality in spec parts.

Yes its legal. Yes, the brake will still work, but not as well as it does without it. TINSTAAFL

I second the Surefire brake, and add a Warden to it.

Ours was not a success. Came in at 6am to start setting up. Event was supposed to run from 5p-9p. Around 2pm a storm rolled through and crushed us.... 14 tents shredded and broken. Hours of work washed down the street. New Brunswick was flooded and Rt 1 in Edison was underwater.

Hey, Indiana Jones carries one and he's a badass.

Good for you AVB. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. Capt14k, please don't carry in the small of your back (SoB). It's dangerous on a few levels: • If you fall on your back/ass you can really hurt yourself, I'm talking broken vertebrae hurt yourself. • Its a slow and very noticible draw stroke. It offers no covert draw options thus limiting your options during a crisis when it pays to be able to be flexible. • Every time you draw or reholster you are pointing the muzzle at your torso and hips. Under the stress of a deadly force confrontation you could very well put one into your own body, thereby doing the bad guys job for him. There are dozens of legitimate modern options to carry a handgun. Something else out there will suit your needs, avoid SoB carry if at all possible.

The C after the dash is for "Compliant" - it's the model designed for states like NJ and CA. The C and P in the name - MCX and MPX - designate Carbine or Pistol caliber.

Yes it sucks that we have them and they do absolutely nothing to enhance gun safety, but other than mag capacity issues, the restrictions we have really don't matter too much when looking at the big picture for someone that wants a standard AR. If you put a FF tube in your AR you are losing the bayonet lug anyway. Most shooters want some kind of a comp or break, and if pinned correctly, you can take it off and replace it. If you are getting a 14.5" gun you have to pin your muzzle device of choice anyway. For a stock, get the Magpul Fixed Carbine Stock. It slides on over a standard receiver extension. Nothing to pin. When you move in screw it and slap a regular adjustable stock on there. Besides, personally, I know where I like my stock. I have no need to adjust them once they are set where I want them. If you want an AR, buy an AR for the here and now. You can easily convert it back to free state specs, or sell it here and recoup your money.

For pure HD use, my first choice is an AR with appropriate ammo and knowledge. If using a shotgun Do not use LL for HD. As for range use - How about a pistol caliber AR? I have one that I assembled and takes any .40 Glock mags (27/23/22/35) same as my pistols. It runs like a top, is plenty accurate out past 50 yards, and is essentially an AR that I can shoot at any range and Steel comps.

War paint goes on before bed.

Pistol in the safe on the nightstand. Rifle is in a safe in the closet 4' away. Belt is on the floor of the closet. Armor (Plate Carrier) is in the closet as well. Assessment and time management is key. HD plan is flexible depending on who's where and what's going in. But that a completely different thread.

If you are looking for a "bump in the night setup", rig a stiff duty-type belt with an OWB holster, a couple mags in pouches, a flashlight, and a first aid kit. if you need to grab your gun, just clip the belt around your waist too. Takes a second and works much better than trying to get your skivvies or PJs to hold your blaster up with no support.

Any standard at lower will work. That brake is a no-go in NJ as far as I can tell due to external threads. If you order the 14.5" barrel and they pin it you will have to cut it off and replace it. Get the 13" rail.
