High Exposure

Yeah. It has a collar that you twist at the base after indexing a notch at the base of the muzzle device (SF 556MB in my case) with the Warden. It's the exact same attachment as the SF Suppressors. Takes about 1/2 turn to lock it down.

Only if it screws on. The SF one uses a friction cam. No threads, you don't have to pin it.

I use a Surefire Warden. It works as advertised.

Try it now

All armor has issues when shouldering a rifle when compared to running a gun slick. It's aggravating for a few minutes, then your body figures out how to make it work, and then you forget all about it.

Best value in an uppers I have seen. Any of them are good to go. http://www.primaryarms.com/1+Upper-Complete-Assemblies/Brand+Troy-Industries/Mcategories+Gun-Parts/ This is the one I would get: Troy Industries 16" 5.56 Upper w/ 13" M-LOK Rail and Flip Sights (Don't know why I can't link to it directly...) If you bought the parts, you be in for over $1K, not including tools to assemble. You will need to replace the flash hider with a brake and have it pinned, but that's it. I have one of the ALPHA models and it's great. I have talked about a dozen friends into this upper as well, and all are pleased.

Flew United day after Christmas. Super easy. Added maybe 5 minutes to my time from check-in to reaching the gate.

For a regular traditional training class: http://www.sightsandtrigger.com/#2838 Joe checks all the boxes - close, affordable, quality. If you are looking for one on one instruction, another option is our very own Modern Materiel: http://modernmateriel.com/training/ Or http://www.howellgunworks.com/mobile/classes.html Good training, close, and affordable.

Dear god! Tell me it's not from McDonalds!

This is the one I use Seriously, those diagnostic wheel targets are pretty useless. Spend some $ and get some quality training time in. Take a class, build a proper foundation with good habits. There is no "Advanced gun handling". There are just the basics executed faster and more accurately at the level of unconcious competence. You can not train yourself - You can only practice. You need to learn and perform these basic skills under the eye of a quality instructor that can diagnose and correct small deficiencies. You learn from the instructor in class, then hone those skills through repetitive practice. Contrary to common belief, practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. If you practice bad habits, you will perform those bad habits to the detriment of all else.

Do you not know where "Keep Calm and Carry On" comes from? It's far from a "Girl saying".

I shot it with my Glock. He's just a big DA/SA guy, specifically Berettas. If your gun pukes or your having trouble, his first response is get a DA/SA gun. It's all good natured.

I thought I just did.....

I had a 1/2 day session with Langdon last August. Holy shit! Eye opening to say the least. Pay close attention to his thoughts on trigger reset. I had a hard time implementing it at first, but once I got it, I'm a huge fan. Prepare for some ribbing if you are shooting a Glock or other striker fired pistol.

I agree with what you are saying, except the last sentence. If you have trigger control/anticipation issues that are presenting itself as inches from your POA at 5 yards, sighting your gun in is useless and will only reinforce your bad habits. If I make my sights show proper POA for my trigger slapping or recoil anticipating POI, I will only continue to train those bad habits. If I start to eliminate my flinch, or sloppy trigger, my POA/POI will be off again and I will think I am doing something wrong. You need to have a basic understanding of trigger control and the ability to know when you are doing it correctly (so you can call your shots when you don't) before dialing in the sights. I can ask any shooter what proper sight picture is and they will answer correctly. Ask a shooter about trigger control, anticipation, flinch, finger placement, proper grip.... you get Guppy eyes. Everyone knows what it's supposed to look like to hit their target, but most don't know what it is supposed to feel like. ETA: Rob Leatham says it better than I can. The title is "Clickbaity" but pay attention. In the video he says you do have to aim, but that comes after you can control the gun.

Also, I know you have fancy dots on there. But... the dots on pistol sight are not for precise aiming. They are for quick reference on your sight alignment (sight alignment being proper application of front and rear sight, sight picture is when you apply your sight alignment onto a target) and certain low light applications. For aiming, you should be using the crisp outline of the front sight, centered in the blurry notch of the rear right - equal light on both sides, flat across the top - superimposed on your out of focus target. If you have XS Big dots, forget what I said until you go out and buy some real sights.

I'm always down to meet folks from here. I have made more than a few friends here that way!

Sights and Triggers released their 2017 schedule. I'll likely take Carbine I with my Brothers-in-law. Maybe the AK Operators class too. Ooooooo And Shotgun. I like shooting

Everyone's eyes are different. Every gun is different. Perfectly centered rear sights don't always equate to straight shootin'. My sights are all a little bit to the right to center punch a target at 25 yards. Also, at 5 yards, you aren't seeing much deviation with POA/POI - so any discrepancy with a bad sight installation of placement should me minimal. You will, however, see very distinct and noticible POA/POI issues with trigger control, flinch, bad grip, and recoil anticipation issues at that range though. $100 says it's a problem with trigger control and anticipation.

PMac (Retired from CAG) would slap the stupid off "Hoot". The safety is an enabler, never a disabler!

For $20? Buy a new set.

Good idea. I have a couple in the gear bin I can try.

A quality sight pusher is worth its weight in gold - I have the MGW one. I love it! Screw that punch and hammer crap. You end up marking the crap out of your gun and it takes forever compared to the tool. You hit it too hard and it's too far left. You tap it back and now it too far right. With the pusher you just give it a quarter turn, half turn, whatever and you are in business. You also need a vice or bench block to use a punch. The pusher doesn't need any of that. Best part is you can bring the pusher to the range and adjust windage on the fly. Just lock the slide to the rear, install the pusher and make adjustments. Remove the pusher, load it up and check your POA/POI. You don't even need a vice or bench block.

Yeah, I have a 10 speed chest rig. Great gear. Unfortunately, the lug on the AK mag does not play well with the elastic.

I am looking for a Kydex belt mounted mag pouch for a single AK mag - left side, bullets pointed to the rear - and a chest rig to carry 3 or 4 AK mags. Who makes good gear and what do you guys use that works for you?
