High Exposure

Agreed on the VCAS and I prefer it to the VTAC. Both are quality, but I am short and the extra length and adjustability from the free running end on the VTAC just gets in my way.

That's what the quick adjust is for Just snug it up! I also roll the rifle 180 and pin the gun against my body and under the sling whenever the rifle is slung and my hand is off the pistol grip. There are also 2 quick and easy ways to put the rifle behind you when run a 2 point sling. That comes in handy if I need to carry something or do anything that requires 2 hands while bending over.

It is all personal preference. I am a right handed shooter. My front attachment point is always left side and as close to the receiver as I can get it. For the rear I have used left and right side on receiver endplates. I also like the Magpul ASAP plates. Recently however, I have been attaching the rear further back into the stock on the left side, even threading the sling right to the stock (Magpul CTR) without a QD swivel. As far as convertable slings, I have never felt the need to switch from 2 point to 1 point, even though my slings all had the ability.

He does it in almost every video I have seen of him recently.

I hate how fast Haley engages the safety, drops the muzzle, and looks at the timer to see how fast he was. He takes himself right out of the fight. He does this constantly and it drives me absolutely bananas. There is absurely no reason to not conduct a proper post engagement sequence - especially in a "dynamic/fighting/disruptive environment" or whatever he labels his classes to indicate they are fighting classes. If he stayed on target, assessed his shot/target, prepped the trigger for a follow on shot and scanned his threat area - the timer would still show the same split time. One or two good hits at superhuman speed is great, but it's not a guaranteed show stopper. Under stress you will fall back on what you lractice most. If you practice engaging the safety, looking away, and dropping the muzzle that's what you will do. Total clownshoes on Haley's part. He should know better.

Everyone who ever had a negligent discharge swears that the gun was either unloaded or that their finger was not on the trigger. If you don't trust your safety to stay on in a real fight - the manipulation of which is a trained "muscle memory" act, how can you trust your finger to stay off the trigger - another "muscle memory" procedure? I would trust a mechanical safety to stay in place over my anxiety moving my finger to the trigger in my haste to get the first shot off in a deadly force confrontation. Training on the square range to keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target has nothing to do with what happens in real life. Ever wonder why so many bad guys get shot in the legs? Because the shooter gets on the trigger and starts ripping rounds before the sights are on target and the gun is still rising to the eye. Most PDs do not allow the use of shoulder holsters. My understanding is that most gun games (IPSC/IDPA/etc..) also prohibit the use of shoulder rigs. Those are clues. Sorry for the thread drift. I just feel it is an important topic and that there are better options (barring some physical limitations, injuries, etc..) for carrying a pistol in a car. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I'd be less concerned of it was a 1911 or BHP as they at least have safeties that would be engaged until front sight was on target. If you think your arthritic trigger finger can't press 5.5lbs under stress you are mistaken. Sympathetic muscle response, startle/flinch response, involuntary trigger reassurance. These all spell bad ju-ju when fighting for your life from a car and trying to do more than one thing at a time. Protect yojrself and follow the 4 rules of firearm safety. Pay close attention to number 2 in this instance. IMO, stack the deck in your favor and use gear that doesn't set you up from a position of disadvantage from the word go.

It may be more comfortable but I don't know about best. Shoulder holsters have some inherent flaws, mainly muzzle position and the fact that you have to flag parts of your own body (support side arm and/or shoulder) when you draw. Drawing a gun from a holster while seated in a car is also a whole other issue. There are lots of things to take into consideration there as well and very few ways to do it both quickly and safely without flagging your legs. Good luck

Lb is for Libra - the scales. Libra pando was the Roman unit of measure for "a pound of weight".

I don't know if it is longer but the one I have works awesome. Before I had that I used a pair of channel lock pliers, but they had a tendency to scratch the lower a bit.

Shawn, Best $13 you'll ever spend if you build a lot of guns: http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/bolt-tools/dissassembly-tools/bolt-catch-pin-punch-prod26484.aspx No more duct tape and no more scratched lowers.

I stand corrected Krdshrk. You are right, it is most definitely satire. He recently got Travis Haley in on it too: :rofl:

Agreed. I like the DD Omega rails a lot. I don't have the Troy Delta Rail but u have 3 of the Alpha rails and I like then a lot. They use the standard barrel nut (which is great for NJ with pinned muzzle devices). All you need is an angle grinder/dremel to cut away the delta ring and shape the FSB to fit under the rail - takes about 20 minutes if you are careful.

Fair enough. Agree to disagree. That is directly counter to my experience and the experience of all of those that I know and trust. In any event, mags are wear items and should be given hammer therapy when they stop working whether they are GI, PMag, ARC, HexMags, Lancer, etc...

I had an SA TRO Operator, an HK P2000 and a SW MP45. I liked all three guns very much. However, if I spent a weekend, or a training class, or a competition shooting one of them - when I went back to the Glock, I was a soup sandwich. I found that if I adhered to a personal time and accuracy standard with the Glock, and after playing with the other guns I shot my Glock until I met that standard, I could shoot other guns with little to no impact on my ability with my duty gun. Eventually I realized that as much fun as it was shooting the other guns, the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I decided that if I was going to shoot, I may as well shoot with the gun that was going to save my life. I sold the other guns, and now have a few Glocks.

Like the XM8, the G36, the G11, the (arguably) HK 416.... :rofl:

Mipa I'm with you except for the GI Mags. In my experience, Pmags have been superior to GI Mags for reliability and durability. After bad mags, I am guessing low quality gun/parts - specifically a crappy BCG.

Again, no Facebook for me. Looking for a screenshot or anything with instructions on how to request a RMA for refund.

Personally, if you are mandated to carry a Glock and you spend time training with anything other than a Glock you are making a mistake. That Glock is lifesaving equipment and you should be able to use better than any other handgun you own. "Beware the man that owns only one gun, he probably knows how to use it" Or as Bruce Lee said:

I have never ever seen an ejector go bad, but I have seen one bolt (Daniel Defense) that had a bad ejector from day 1. Bolts generally shear a lug or crack at the cam pin hole well before the ejector craps out. Bad extractors are another story and I have seen plenty of them. I would try different mags first. After that I would try a new BCG that I knew to be reliable.

Generally 2 live rounds is a mag issue. One live and one spent is an extractor, gas issue, or mag.

Was the double feed 2 live rounds, or one live and one spent casing?

The only scam was L3 lying to everyone and selling sights that it knew were garbage putting a lot of people in harms way. I hope this bankrupts them and everyone that ever bought an EoTech gets their pound of flesh.
