High Exposure

Well, I will be shooting knockdown steel at OBRPC instead.

:rofl:

Ah-ha! Thanks for the info guys. Well, that's that.

I don't know about the SAS, but our guys do a lot of COTS (Commercial, Off The Shelf) purchases for weapons and gear that fit their needs, even if it isn't standard gear. Even unit to unit you can find a different variety of weapons to fill the same role. That being said, those newpaper articles don't inspire confidence and frankly, don't hold a lot of water in my mind. I can find articles that state US SOF is definitely switching to the SCAR platform for all their rifle needs - and we all know how that went.

Also, that link isn't working for me and I can't find the match on the www.practiscore.com site.

Me too, especially the bad dad jokes: http://diply.com/different-solutions/walking-dead-memes/56564

John, it's a joke about the way that Andrew Lincoln - a British actor, pretending to have a southern American accent - who plays Rick Grimes, says the name Carl.

Holy Crap! Registration is now $100 a gun! I look forward to this event every year, and I shoot pistol iron and carbine, but that may be a bit too rich for me.... The monthly comps are $20 and are just as fun.

Correct. And Carl's eye injury ties into the comics - not that they fully follow the comic storyline....

It is still searchable by the integral NJGF search engine isn't it?

Shawn I had the exact same reaction.

I know Pat pretty well, and he's not huge on sharing his stuff across forums in that manner. You should probably make that a dead link (change the . to the word "dot" will do it ie: www dot Lightfighter dot net) so it doesn't track back here. Just a suggestion.

He's a lawyer, not a fighter. He is more concerned with keeping you out of jail and/or winning a lawsuit than winning a fight. He is also protecting himself and is not going to write something that you can use against him in lawsuit later on. I can see where he is coming from, even though he is wrong.

Depends on the holster and method of retaining the gun in the holster. I have some holsters that will fit every Glock I have from a G35 down to a G27. I have others that are specific to each Glock size.

Just FYI: Both Geissele and ALG specifically recommend NOT using the KNS pins with their triggers. I have a few of the ALG ACT triggers. They're nice and make excellent "place holders" as I save up for more Geissele SSA triggers. You know Geissele also makes a single stage trigger - the S3G. You are spending how much on your SPR build? And you are skimping on a trigger? The trigger, the barrel, and the glass are what really make an SPR an SPR.

Nothing like using the search function

Good article - lots of good info and advice. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks

Awesome. I am looking for a lower without LRBHO because I want to use my new NFA upper with the LRBHO option built in for a 9mm build. Where did you pick up the lower and, if you don't mind me asking, what did it run ya?

How do you like that JP lower? Does it have LRBHO?

No facebook for me. Facebook is the devil.

I like Travis Haley. I don't agree with everything he advocates (his penchant to speed safety/holster drives me bananas), and he can get into some really esoteric shit, but he seems like a good dude. I think his reputation is a bit overinflated for a commo guy in a recon unit, but that's not his fault. I don't know anything about a bigger Internet kerfuffle over this. I haven't heard about a dogpile or anything. The Panteao issue was a separate thing that I discovered when looking for one of his videos on their site - although I do think that the release of this screw-up from one of their videos was a deliberate twist of the knife. I don't think TH was teaching either of those two methods as acceptable. I think he was demonstrating old school techniques that were used in the past to overcome the challenge of the pain-in-the-ass safety on an AK. I think he was showing "what not to do" even if it was an acceptable method in the past. (People still teach those two methods to this day when instructing on the MP5. It was de rigueur in the late 80's and has never been corrected. I was taught them in 2005 at a SWAT CQB school by the FBI). The issue was he was demonstrating these things with an unnecessarily hot gun. What do you think would happen if you had an ND like that on the line while TH was instructing? I bet he would be in your face with a quickness and you would have a long lonely rides home to think about what you did.

This. He should be fired, I agree. But I think convicted is too much. His biggest mistake was in not calling it in right away. And this... Sucks all around. NYPD Has no field training. They don't even partner rookie cops out of the academy with veteran street guys. Two new guys are paired up and told to go out and do good things. Vertical patrols are a nightmare and walking the stairs with your gun out of the holster is standard/accepted NYPD practice even if it isn't SOP. The stairwells are dark, I am talking pitch black, and are slippery with urine and feces. Stuff is thrown at officers as they walk up and down. It's bad.

I picked up an ADM Recon-X 30mm for mine. Gives a little bit more room for proper eye relief than the standard ADM Recon mount (I think the Strike Eagle 1-6 has ~ 3.5" eye relief). I have been very happy with their mounts. Excellent quality, much better rail attachment than ARMS (yuck!), and significantly cheaper than LaRue.
