High Exposure

The Devil's Cross! This makes me happy.

They better be at that price!

All of This^^^^ Why spend the money for an MOS model Glock and then buy a cheap optic. The RMR is the standard for a reason. Buy once, cry once - you won't be sorry.

Tight is good. It means the gas rings are making good contact with the carrier and creating a good seal. When they are too loose is when you run into problems. The test T Bill describes above is how you check for bad gas rings and should be performed every time you remove the BCG from the rifle for cleaning it a wipe down. Lube it and shoot it. You most likely are good to go.

Oooooooo! Good looking out!

Lol! Beat me to it!

Accuracy, Reliability - No Compromise!

Thanks. That's a good price on the G11. About $40 less than I usually see them. I don't think the G11 will work with the dovetail. It uses the J-Arm.

With single tube setups you lose depth perception. FOV is small and you can only focus on one thing at a time - near or far. Best practice is to focus on infinity and make small adjustments as needed. Your head has to be constantly moving to process all the information you are used to getting. After a few hours in NODs you have a sore neck and a screaming headache. The amber filters help alleviate the headache a bit.

Ooooooph

PVS 14 monocle with Phokus Hoplite and a Wilcox Amber filter on a USGI J-Arm and Norotos Rhino mount. The mount and J-Arm really need to be replaced. Looking hard at the Wilcox G-11 as the replacement. Word on the street is it's the best bang for the buck out there right now. Surefire M1 IR illuminator and Guardian IR strobe beacon. Both work well for my needs and are affordable. All on a Battleware helmet with OpsCore counterweight at the rear. MSA Comms setup with SARA Peltor adapters and a Princeton Tec IR admin light.

I thought that link was going to be this:

Well done! And I award you 10 points for cross thread shenanigans!

:rofl: This is the best part: :rofl:

Hear hear!

Looks good, jealous of the dual tube setup and the Wilcox G24 mount. Now you need 2 amber filters and a Phokus/Hoplite on there. The filter and Phokus were the two best things I ever bought for my PVS-14. I am looking at a Wilcox G11 mount next. I was thinking about a dual 14 like that but $1k for the bridge and $400 for the mount is too much for me. There are companies out there that you can send two PVS14s to and they will build you a set of Anvis 15s. What IRAL do you have on your rifle/pistol? Throw an IR light (Surefire M1, INFORCE WML IR, TNVC Torch etc...) on your helmet. I'll throw a photo up later.

All RDS have an "entire world" FOV if used correctly - open both eyes. The size of the window should not be a major deciding factor. Reliability, switching, battery life, height over bore - these are the more important questions. If used as a defensive gun, avoid self adjusting RDS. The dot washes out when shooting in low-light/no-light in conjunction with a white light for target ID. Without milling the slide he will be unable to get suppressor height irons to co-witness as BUIS.

True - You have a larger "window" to locate the reticle with an EOTech which can be more forgiving in unconventional shooting positions. That being said, I have never had a problem finding the dot in a T1 or PRO regardless of the shooting position. Additionally, the extended battery life of the Aimpoint and the lack of the auto-shutdown feature inherent in the EOTechs more than make up for the smaller "window".

HighE's secret of the universe #783: Opening both eyes while using a red dot sight will open your field of view completely giving you an "entire world" sight picture and remove any tube effect.

I'll be following this closely. I don't think I can attend - scheduling issues - but I am looking forward to a detailed AAR. Like any instructor, you need to choose wisely based on your needs and desires and the ability to strengthen your weaknesses. Costa may not be the end-all of the training world to everyone, but by all accounts he is an excellent instructor and a genuinely nice guy who wants to make his students better shooters. I'd love to pick his brain and learn some new drills.

Same here. Full refund plus shipping. Then I went out and spent the refund on an Aimpoint T1.

http://soldiersystems.net/2015/11/27/the-l-3-communications-settlement-with-the-us-government-over-fraud-charges-stemming-from-eotech-holographic-weapon-sights/ According to this paper work, the known/concealed Eotech zero drift, due to temperature change, was as much as 6 MOA in the carbine/rifle optics, and up to 12 MOA in the support/indirect fire weapon optics. Parallax shift at 32 degrees Fahrenheit was 12 MOA, and at 5 degrees Fahrenheit it was 20 MOA. It doesn't go back to its original zero when the temp returns to where it was zeroed at. These are not extreme conditions. My understanding is that any temp change affects the optic. The larger the change the larger the instant effect it has. But, the small changes are stackable - a bunch of small changes back and forth that can occur from the high to the low end of reasonable weather can have the same cumulative effect on your zero as one large shift over time. Either way, everyone that states "mine hasn't broken" or "mine hasn't lost zero" needs to add one word to their statement - "yet". This is an inherent design flaw in every EoTurd out there. One that the company has admitted to. This isn't someones opinion that there is an issue; this is verifiable, repeatable, measurable fact. Personally, I won't settle for mediocrity and refuse to use an optic that will enhance a chance for failure. For many people - Military, LEO, Armed Citizen - This is a safety issue. Some of us carry guns with optics on their rifles for a living. We don't get to decide to stay home on hot or cold days or we need to keep rifles in hot cars/trunks while we are working on 100 degree days. Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. Looking for a replacement - Aimpoint is the answer.

EOTech can suck it. They knew about the problem and never reported it until they had a "fix" they wanted to sell to the USG. They put the lives of military and LEO on the line as well as the public the protect. http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/79040-usg-sues-l3-for-fraud-over-eotech-issues/?fromsearch=1
