High Exposure

Everyone bitched and moaned that he was long gone. He wasn't. Everyone bitched they couldn't find him, when they do find him, everyone bitches that it took too long. There is a right way and a wrong way to search. There is a right way and a wrong way to hunt for a fugitive. Contrary to what our local NJGF members who are experts in fugitive recovery and LEO man tracking in open and wooded terrain think , these guys did it the right way and it worked - They caught him, no one else got hurt. Well done to all a involved in the hunt. It must have taken a lot of restraint and professionalism to take him alive.

The Troy folding BUIS are plenty robust. I would put them on par with any fixed BUIS with no hesitation. The Matech had a problem with the cross bolt breaking. They were good about sending replacements but it pissed off the Army pretty badly. For fixed front sights, I am with you. All of my social guns have standard "A" front sight assemblies. Not sure what you mean about consistent manual of arms between BCM and Colt. They are both ARs, so the manual of arms is identical for both. As far as the rear sight, if you are using a T1, the BUIS are truly going to be "Back Ups". Other than in training to shoot with irons, I have never ever had to flip by BUIS because of an optic issue (I have all T1 and PRO optics). I wouldn't stress about it. If you are going to be shooting anything where the elevation adjustments on an A1/A2 rear sight assembly are going to matter then sure, but otherwise, the T1 with a 50/200 zero will serve you fine beyond 300 yards.

This^^^ According to Glock, the plastic sites that come standard are merely placeholders for aftermarket sites. Since sight preferences are so subjective and vary wildly by users, Glock just installs the plastic sights so the user can replace them with their preferred model. Get a quality holster, a bunch of ammo, and a quality training course from a reputable trainer. /thread

The micro T1 from Aimpoint is about 1/3 more expensive than an RMR. I have one (RMR02) on a pistol, always in, auto adjust for brightness, and have no complaints. Battery has been in for two years now with no issues. I have an Insight MRDS on an MP5 that also works very well. I just changed the battery after 3 years - but I turn that one off when not in use. They are becoming more common on long guns, and would have no issues running one on shotgun or rifle. I think Pat MacNamara is a big proponent of the RMR on rifles. As far as "window" or tube size, it doesn't really matter. Both eyes should be open when using any RDS. With both eyes open you have full field of view regardless of the size of the window, especially with a RDS that has unlimited eye relief and can be placed further from your eye.

Sailor. SEALs are Sailors. Just sayin....

Most instructors out there are really just "Counters". They count the holes in your target and if you have a number that is acceptable to them, you are "good to go". They have no ideas past yelling "FRONT SIGHT PRESSSS!!!" on how to measure what they teach and just recite, demo, and have their students perform drills. Very few truly understand the HOW, even less under stand the WHY, and maybe a handful can teach you WHEN to use proper TTPs in a gunfight. Yeager is NOT well liked in professional training circles, at least by the folks I know. When he first started he was allegedly decent and relevant. What he teaches now is silly. It's DELTARANGERSEAL Band Camp. It makes him a shit-ton of cash I am sure, but it is not grounded in reality. Just look at that Kabuki Theater Scan & Assess he advocates. As usual, Vlad is right: Tex? Is this you? What you wrote makes no sense. I think you forgot part of your statement. "Present smallest target possible when behind cover." You end a fight by getting critical hits on your adversary before they do it to you. You do that by being in the best shooting position you can while maximizing the use of any available cover and moving to a position of advantage. Turning 45* to your threat leading with your weak side? Really? Why? Stand up from your computer and draw your "finger gun". Pretend your monitor is your threat. Position your body so that your support side is towards the computer at a 45* angle. How is that helpful? You are maybe 10% slimmer by the time you twist your shoulders to get get two hands in a pistol/rifle, but tremendously out of sync in terms of balance which translates to speed, accuracy, and mobility - the three things that will keep you alive in a gunfight. Try to maintain that position while shooting accurately on the move and see how that works. Getting hit anywhere in the torso, including weak side, is bad. Turning 45* doesn't do much of anything to mitigate the effects of a torso hit, except making it harder to shoot. You are 3D not a slice of paper. Real bullets penetrate your flesh and organs, they don't stop on the surface like a sim round. Turning 45* doesn't change the position of your heart or lungs from your targets point of view, especially when you are twisting back around to get two hands on the gun. In fact, offering the weak side of your torso can make it easier to hit all 3 with one shot. If you are wearing any armor you just turned the weakest part of your torso - namely the area above your waist and under your armpit into the primary hit zone for your opponent. If you want to provide a smaller target to your enemy, use cover and/or gain distance. Rarely if ever will you see me standing still, and when I do I am square to my threat in the best possible shooting position I can get my body into, maximizing available cover from a position advantage, and running that trigger like mad-man giving my opponent the bees.

Why? Why would you post this? I just got my blood pressure under control. Then I watched this and all of my blood just shot out of my nose. I hate Yeager with the fire of a million burning suns. Seeing that stupid disgusting fat body there doing all that stupid stupid stupid shit only made it worse. We are all now dumber for having watched that. You are a bad person, I award you no points, and I damn your black heart Vlad. My God have mercy in your soul.

If you are selling some Troy stuff send me a PM. The ARMS stuff you can keep

Carrying a long gun for self/home defense is not paintball and one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Experience in one does not equate to to useful techniques in the other - this goes both ways. African Carry? Why? The primary purpose for the slings and sling catch we are talking about would not be conducive to African Carry.

Sorry bro, I am a bit confused. Are you looking to regularly line up both sight systems, RDS and BUIS? If you have the T1 why do you want a fixed rear sight? Are you planning on taking the T1 off and running irons only? If so, the DD, LaRue, Troy or LMT fixed will serve you well. If the T1 is going to be your primary sight stay with folding BUIS. For folding BUIS Troy is the standard. I have also had good success with the GG&G MAD. What height mount do you have on the T1? Absolute, lower 1/3, or something in between. That will determine your cheek mount. In reality, it doesn't really change the position of your cheek, more a degree of how much you "squish" it down on the stock. Anyway, I prefer lower 1/3 RDS with fold away Troy BUIS. I see no reason for a fixed rear iron sight if I am rocking a quality red dot optic. I do have a few MBUIS sets as placeholders and work supplies GGG MAD sights for work guns.

True spec makes a decent one, so does 5.11, Massif, and Crye. Some are A LOT of cash, most are reasonable and you can usually find solid colors in addition to the camo ones. Velocity systems Boss Rugby is nice too, but I think they don't have much of a collar anymore on the newest version. Hell, an regular Under Armor golf shirt would be better than a T-Shirt. Has a collar and is made of wicking material to dry sweat faster keeping you cool.

If I put that on my rifle, one of my teammates will try to fuck it....

Pad won't really help the neck issue - in fact, in my experience it makes it worse. The pad will help any uncomfort on the shoulder from the actual weight of the rifle but actually increases the neck chafing as the sling is now wider. Again, a collared shit - think golf shirt - helps a lot or get one if those "combat" shirts with the high collar.

I know that, and you know that, but you didn't have to out yourself to everyone else! :rofl:

Armor Express has had a similar product for a few years now as an option on their heavy vests. Meh.... It doesn't really work. It makes your sling roll over and as soon as you take the weight off the sling - by shouldering the rifle/shotgun/subgun - the sling pops right out. Doesn't work well with padded slings either. IMO - Total gimmick. A mandarin collar, hooded sweatshirt, turtleneck, collared shirt, etc... works better. Actually lifting the rifle when moving it instead of just dragging the sling across your neck works well too.

^^ Classy and dangerous! A true modern Gentleman

Probably not.... MP 40? S&W M76? How about a Tec-9? What are you looking to do?

Beretta M12?

The Uzi mags are really gonna limit you. Look at the Suomi M31: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomi_KP/-31 Carl Gustav M45/Swedish K: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomi_KP/-31

My carry style remains the same regardless of the season. I believe that drastically changing carry location is never a good idea. My primary carry gun is always on (or sometimes just under) my belt, strong side, on my hip. The big reason I hate shoulder holsters is that they inherently violate rule 2 - Never point the muzzle at something you are not ready, justified, and willing to destroy. When in the holster it's orientation ensures that the muzzle always points at everyone behind you. And the worst part - you sweep your own body parts with the muzzle on the draw (support side bicep/arm) and re-holster (shoulder/chest). Also, weapon retention can be problematic with a shoulder rig. They are a niche item.

I really don't care what finish is on there. As long as it doesn't rust and shoots straight I am good.

The S&W Shield is a good option. If I didn't have to carry a Glock at work I would get a shield for BUG duty. If I didn't already have the Kahr I would get the Shield for off-duty needs.

They just replace the "cotter pin" with a plug.

I am curious as to the basis for this statement as well...
