High Exposure

The NFA upper with LRBHO is back in stock. If you have a LW lower, this will add the last round bolt hold option to the carbine. https://newfrontierarmory.com/shop/c-9-billet-ar-9-slick-side-upper-lrbho/

What is there for LEOs to think twice about? What makes you think LEOs support this? This has potential to be bad on multiple fronts, all which put LEOs on the street at a significant disadvantage against a savvy bad guy. I doubt you will find a single street level LEO who will endorse this law. The color/partial color of an object in someone's hand is pretty far down on the IFF meter if someone is pointing it at you or someone else aggressively or if they are not complying with commands, making threats, etc... How somene acts and moves/gestures with the object they are holding will determine the lion's share of the decision making process for LEOs. The bad guy holds the cards on how everything goes down. They get the first move and the decision on when and how it ends.

I saw it twice in opening day - once in 3D at midnight and once in regular 2D that afternoon at the same downtown movie theater I saw Episodes IV, V, and VI when I was a kid. I preferred the regular 2D version. As a huge Star Wars geek I was very pleased with Episode VII and am looking forward to the next movies - both the continuation of the saga (episode VIII and IX) and the stand alone movies (Rogue One, etc...)

Thanks again. I try to do as much no light shooting without NODs as a I can with my guys at work - especially the team guys. I am always looking for new ways to do this safely while making it challenging and fun.

Excellent! Thanks for the feedback PB. One last question - Low light shooting can be a nightmare to monitor for safety. How did the RSOs follow the shooter and watch them in the dark? Did they have their own lights (which would provide more light to the shooter) or did they use the ambient light from the shooters handheld light to observe (which may not put the light where they wanted/needed to see)?

That's awesome. I love shooting in the dark. The dark monster will bite you if you are not competent. It's a great test of unconcious-competence level tasks. What kind of differences did you observe in shooter ability between light and dark? Were most shooters consistent or was there a pretty distinct difference in scores/times? Anyone have manipulation (reloads, malfunctions) difficulties when shooting low light?

NJ follows LEOSA. Mag restrictions still apply however as LEOSA doesn't address them. ETA: Also, if retired and no longer issued ammo by your agency, you can not carry hollow nose ammunition.

Meh.... Nothing stolen. I have even used it here before... And I have never been to ARF.com for more than a minute. First time I heard FSA was from an NYPD buddy of mine back around 12 years ago... In any event, it is a fitting name.

I think he was referring to the FSA* (Free Shit Army) and BLM (Black Lives Matter) crowds rioting. *trademark

I don't have any experience with the LW lower. It doesn't/didn't have a last round bolt hold open feature so I discounted it when I was building mine. I did build a Glock AR in .40 with a QC10 lower: Here is a current thread with some decent info that you may find helpful: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/79695-ar-9-who-has-built-or-building-them/#entry1014351

I don't see the need for a clear mag that gets fully inserted into an opaque pistol grip. The utility of knowing what's left in the mag is eliminated because you can't see through the grip. That being said, they are $10 cheaper than a Glock OEM mag, so if they are reliable, I would get some. I am looking forward to getting some Magpul Glock PMags to try out as well.

OP, read "On Killing" and "On Combat" by Lt Col. Grossman. Learn what your body does under stress and how it protects itself. There is something called auditory exclusion. Every person I know who has been involved in shootings or gunfights have experienced it. They never even heard their gunshots - (some had time dilation and most had extreme tunnel vision as well). The sound of the shots (coming and going) did still damage their hearing, although they had no persistent ringing of the ears after the fight was won. Shooting without earpro on purpose on the range in order to "get used to it" is dumb. Please don't do it. It offers zero real world experience for anyone and can seriously damage your hearing. If the balloon ever goes up and you have to shoot in defense of your life - it is what it is. So you damage your hearing? Its for cause - personal safety. Don't damage your hearing in a foolish attempt at "training like you fight", "familiarization", "preparation", or other such nonsense. For what it's worth, I keep a set of Sordins (electronic amplified hearing pro) on the armor carrier I keep in my bedroom. If I had time, it's the last piece of gear I would don, after arming myself, and throwing on my plate carrier. Also, whether you are shooting sub or supersonic ammo doesn't matter. The sound of the explosion of the round touching off in the gun is the part that damages your ears the most. You won't hear the supersonic crack of the bullet - or lack thereof - over the bang of the shot. Getting used to it is called hearing damage. It isn't as painful because you are going deaf. Don't do that.

Who makes them? Are they reliable?

It was free like everything else he gives away...

Wait, you mean that isn't really a can of Obama's Tears? Well, that's disappointing......

How about it?

Ha! I thought you were referring to this: http://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-museum/museum-departments/curatorial-departments/arms-and-armor

It's really a straight forward climb. Easy route finding and easy following. It has bomber pro that is quick to set and clean and super easy anchors at the end of each pitch. There is only really 1 tricky spot where you need to use a double length sling (or you can down climb 3 moves and back-clean) to eliminate drag, and that is all you have to worry about. The crux has huge jugs, it's just "the move" is airy and exposed. If not for the exposure, the move would be 5.4ish.

I built a .40 Glock AR - I wanted an AR platform to shoot at steel matches. It allows me to practice with a gun that has the same manual of arms as the rifle I carry for work. I used a QC10 lower and started with a Ron Williams DI upper. I could not get that upper to run reliably. I tried a dozen different fixes in a hundred different configurations with no joy. I contacted Ron and he was moderately helpful, but it boiled down to him just telling me "It worked for me at the shop." Meh... I think it is grossly undergassed, but I can't tell for sure. It's sitting in the safe waiting for the day I have the patience to work on it again. So, instead, I built a blowback upper with a .40 barrel and .40 bolt from QC10. I slapped them onto a VLTOR upper I had laying around, installed an H2 buffer and Wolff overpower action spring in the lower, and headed off to the range. The thing runs like a sewing machine and the LRBHO works after a slight trim to the bolt catch spring. I am very pleased. I am very interested in checking out the New Frontier Arms Glock upper that contains the LRBHO. I am sure I would be just as pleased with a 9mm, but all my Glocks and mags are .40, so it made sense to stay with that caliber rather than getting into a whole new one.

I was wondering if you knew what it meant where I grew up.... Now I know you do!

Mine is from my favorite climb: https://www.mountainproject.com/v/high-exposure/105798994

The orange is helpful, but is not an absolute deciding factor in deadly force confrontations. It is merely one complex component of the "totality of circumstances" in the consideration to use deadly force.

Ah, gotcha!

I don't know hay many people would drop ~$2k on a VLTOR AUG to make it worth anyone at VLTOR's time, let alone send a message to the PRNJ.
