High Exposure

Remixer, any updates on this? I see they are back in stock on the LW website.

You silly revolver people! Heavyopp is right: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cooper I use them as range commands when teaching classes. It is a simple way to convey exactly what I want done quickly and efficiently. Even though they are based on a 1911 platform, they can be used for most semiauto firearms if applied with some common sense. For example, my pistols are all striker fired with no safeties (Glock, Kahr, Ruger LCP) so they aren't truly condition 1 (they are not fully cocked and have no safety to engage) but "condition 1" is the common/accepted parlance for a Glock with a full mag and one in the chamber. Condition 2 is impossible in a lot of firearms - ARs, Pump shotguns, striker fired pistols...

All long guns in the safe are Condition 3, optics turned on. All handguns in the safe are Condition 1.

I use the ELS for a few things at work. I like them a lot. Very secure and let's me swap gear appropriately depending on what's going on.

I have had nothing but excellent CS with Safariland. We issue all Safariland duty gear to all of the members of my department - Belt, holster, mag pouches, OC carrier, radio carrier, etc... When something inevitably fails they are top notch about it.

Intriguing.....

IMO M-LOK really won't win until they produce a free float tube with M-LOK attachments. Their biggest advantage right now is how cheap the "entry fee" into the available M-LOK equipped parts is compared to the Key-Mod tubes.

Agreed 100%. That vid had the least inflammatory title.

Looks functional to me.... if you shoot like Magpul's original dynamic duo advocate with the extreme forward C-Clamp. I personally don't shoot that way, but it makes sense to design gear that compliments the methods you teach. In any event, I will take another 1"-1.5" of reach/burn protection on my handguards. Also, I doubt WAMs are a huge concern on a manicured flat range, USPSA stage, or equivalent where 99% of these will be used. I doubt these are currently in high demand with the military types as they are not free float and are not conducive to the attachment of IR/Vis lasers and such.

So does that mean the PLO/HAMAS/ISIS are elite too? Anyway, this should be a different topic. We are cluttering this optic thread with off-topic stuff now. Apologies to the OP.

You are right. I apologize for cluttering your thread. I was feeling a little froggy after the recent piston AR thread. In any event, do what Vlad said. Contact AA, ask them "WTF?" Then go buy a quality charging handle. I personally prefer the BCM gunfighter mod 4 (medium latch).

Tactics Techniques & Procedures Shut the Fuck Up (forgot the U)

If it was a DI gun, I would say it is a crappy charging handle - probably out of spec and using crappy aluminum and advise to replace it. But since it is a piston gun - which apparantly never fail and have a mandatory life expectancy of parts approaching infinity rounds, I have to say that it must have been designed to be like that. Don't sweat it, and trust the piston.

I don't hunt. I don't shoot trap. My shotgun is strictly a social gun - as such, my round selection reflects that. Also, I would prefer to use an AR than a shotgun so I don't keep up with the shotgun as much as I should, beyond familiarity enough to instruct and qualify my people. Anyway, I have a bunch of Hornady TAP 00B (8 pellet) and Federal FC 00B (8 pellet) and a random selection if slugs and I have a bunch of Winchester Ranger as training ammo. The work 870s (14" barrel) prefer the TAP, my gauge (18" ported Vang Comp Barrel) prefers the Fed stuff. I really want to get some Federal #1 B now that they make it in a Flite Control model as well - I hear it's the Bee's Knees. Also, whatever you decide to use make sure you pattern it in your gauge at the distances you plan on using it for the purpose you selected the ammo for. Know what your shotgun can and, more importantly, can not do.

On a piston gun? Impossible. Everything is fine. Carry on.

^^^^ This is a big part of it. Another part is I am a LEO in a predominately conservative/orthodox Jewish municipality. Lots of relatives from the motherland coming to visit, lots of young men and women residents going over to "do their part". I have met a lot of IDF personnel - but I don't think I have met an IDF member yet that wasn't "Isreali Special Forces" Inevitably they start telling me war stories. When I start asking questions or mentioning modern techniques used against complex foes they have no idea what I am talking about. Izzy tactics are poor - but work against the relatively untrained folks they are up against. They therefore feel like they are combat Gods and can tell everyone else how to do things - and for some God forsaken reason people who should know better buy into it. Another issue is I have seen them shoot, fight, and practice TTPs as instructors and fellow students in classes that I have taken. In a word: Clownshoes. Caveat: Krav Maga is extremely effective. Finally, the "tactical accessory" market is flooded with Izzy crap - Fobus, CAA, Meprolight, MAKO, etc... All expensive garbage that capitalizes in the Izzy "martial prowess". :vomit: There are a lot of better quality and more capable options, often times at a better price, than the stuff that had been IDF "approved". Yes, there are some extremely effective folks in the IDF. They are doing a hard job in a hard place. From a strategic point of view I admire their ability to make the hard choices and follow through in order to get it done regardless of outside opinion. I wish we had half the political will to win that the Isreali's do in the wars we have fought over the last 40 years. However, tactically - TTP and equipment wise -they need to STFU and stop drinking their own kool-ade. OP, if you want an RDS that actually works - get an Aimpoint PRO or T1. Being different sucks if the only way you differ from everyone else is that your shit doesn't work and theirs does.

If I remember correctly: Glocks are approximately 60% pre-cocked. S&W M&P pistols and the Springfield XD series are around 90% pre-cocked.

I am not impressed with those specs, especially at that price...... The IDF can suck it. I don't know where they get the reputation of being such bad asses..... Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. Carry on.

Yeah, but I want another G35 so I can cut the grip down to take G23 mags.....

I have 5 .40 S&W Glocks, 1 Kahr 9mm and Ruger LCP .380. The Kahr and Ruger a are carry/BUG guns, and I have enough ammo for them stay qualified and have a basic load out. .40 is what I train, compete, qual, and carry and what I have stockpiled. I also have a large stash of .223/5.56, .22LR and 12g with a little 7.62x39 and .30-06

Out of curiosity, why are you looking for an "IDF thumbs up" - are you looking for "Authenticity" or "Quality"? ETA: I wouldn't use any of the optics listed if given a choice.

Nice! And with HR218, you can qualify and CCW that thing everywhere, including loaded in your MV. ETA: You are in AZ now so you can probably do that without 218 Aimpont T1/H1 in a DD mount. Keep it light.

Buddy of mine from CT has one. His works and is literally and figuratively a blast to shoot, but that is a sample of one.
