High Exposure

Striker fired guns are only partially cocked. In the case of M&P and XDs, the striker is like ~90% cocked, with the trigger press finishing the last 10% and the releasing the striker. With the Glocks the striker is like ~60%-70% cocked, with the trigger press doing the rest and releasing the striker.

I never had hands on a 250 but I always thought that there were striker fired guns. Are they not? Anyway, striker fired guns (Glocks, XDs, and M&Ps) are technically considered "double action only".

Lol You beat yourself up enough trying to get the stuck case out. I was just curious as to why you felt you needed something in the chamber to dry fire. You should be able to click away all day long with no issues without a snap cap. If you prefer to use them for dry fire sessions - rock on - but for a quick post cleaning function check you should be fine without one.

I have 3 of them, and have no issues. Buy with confidence

I only mention it from experience brother.... I spent a god 30 minutes cursing my head off and looking for an allen key. I would save you that pain. I checked the IWC mount too, but the MOE Scout is only $9.

Hmmm... How do you swap the batteries? Do you need to take the light outbid the mount? If so you should bring the light back a bit so the tail cap is out if the mount. You should be able to use a longer MOE 1913 rail to push the light out or move the MVG back a slot if you need to. Seriously look at the MOE Scout Mount Left: http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG403/46 And get yourself a 1" ring: http://www.gggaz.com/one-inch-flashlight-mounting-ring.html Here is the above described setup on a work Colt R0933 - carbine length instead of midlength gas system:

Good deal. Now, why did you feel you needed an empty case in the chamber to dry fire?

I had some Arc'Teryx stuff from my climbing days. They make bombproof gear. I wish I could afford some of the new Dead Bird stuff. Even with the LEAF program it's expensive....

I knew I was supposed to so something.... I got my grip. It is much darker than LaRues UDE, almost black. I will put pics up soon.

I hate those MLS forks, they always stab me with their pointy ends....

Damn. I was hoping you had a different option....

Vlad, what belt are you using?

No. Norseman - the self professed "noob" - neither asked a question or made a comment. He made a declarative statement. If he would have asked "hey, you guys ever try this..." Or said "I just tried this it worked ok for me" it would have been a completely different story than "Righties you should swap your mag release". The dog-pile started when he got butthurt and started whining when experienced shooters said "nope". He then took it personally and wrongly assumed it was because we didn't want to try new things - instead of realizing that maybe this idea has been around for a while and most folks have tried it already and found it lacking. Did he really think he was such a special snowflake that he was the first to discover this this and no one had thought of it before? This is not a "forum" problem.

Yeah. The QLS is awesome on a few levels for a Duty type holster in a "Warbelt"'setup. In won't build another rig without it.

Yup.

Safariand is not always so great updating their website. There are quite a few holsters out there that aren't on their website. Call Safariland for sure. Another good call to make is to ATS or Grey Group. They have helped me few times. Avoid Optics Planet if possible. They always seem to mess up my orders and their CS pisses me off.

Take it down a notch there bub. Some of us have tried it. Hell, I tried it 10 years ago when I was a noob and didn't know any better. It was dumb then too so I went back to the regular way. I wish I had a board like this when I first started shooting. It would have saved me a lot of time wasted on trying stupid crap that I thought would work. Sure we are all here to share and learn. Just don't get so butthurt when told your idea isn't a good one or when you realize that while you were trying to share new (to you) ideas you were really the one that needed to learn.

That's because you are abnormal. Try it, then after it happens you won't be able to say that anymore.

I have this setup on one of my Glocks, what's your question? Oh.... And Nicht Möglich

? I am sorry I am not following a few points.... I though you said this concern started because it happened whilst shooting.... You are concerned over the bolt not locking firmly on an empty mag when dry firing? Go shoot it. If it doesn't work then, we can help. There are too many variables doing what you are doing to diagnose anything. What LPK did you use? Why would you have to "drop a mag to pull the bolt back again" if the bolt goes forward before you are ready? That happens sometimes especially during a transition where the bolt release can get hit by your sling/great/body. Just insert the mag on a closed bolt - same as if you were conducting a Tac-load or a reload with retention - then run the charging handle. Incorrect. If the bolt is locked to the rear either with a loaded/partially loaded mag or with out a mag in the gun at all and you bump - even gently - the stock straight down (grab it by the muzzle, keeping the barrel perpindicular to the deck) on the ground the bolt will absolutely release. Go try it. I just did it ten times in a row each on a Colt, and 2 BCM uppers/SLR15 lower rifles with Colt LPK installed to make sure I wasn't losing my mind... Inertia makes the bolt carrier group and buffer compress the action spring, removing tension on the bolt catch. Even the slightest compression of the action spring will allow the spring that keeps the bolt catch out of the way until it is engaged, either manually or by the mag follower, to do its job and return the bolt catch to its natural passive position, thereby disengaging the bolt catch and allowing the BCG to go into battery. This can not happen if an empty mag (assuming the mag is good) is in the gun as the magazine follower will physically keep the mag catch engaged with the tension of the mag spring behind it, overcoming the tension of the bolt catch spring.

It is what it is - a right hander's world. I know it's not fair but.... You know what they say in the Mexican Marines? ¡El Tougho Shito! If you are stuck with it you learn to do it how you have to and drive on. That doesn't mean I am going to put myself at the same disadvantage if I don't have to. Just like with a standard AR. Lefties have two standard reload types - reload with retention and speed reload. Righties have three - the same two as lefties plus a tactical reload. That's just the way it is because the rifle was built for right handed shooters. Post #49:

Don't take this the wrong way but for a self professed "noob" you are awfully adamant about this. Do you really think you are the first person to ever think this is a better way? News flash, you are not. Interesting that it hasn't caught on like wildfire if it's such a great way to do it... It isn't easier, it isn't faster, it won't work with all firearms, it isn't taught by any reputable instructors that I know. Who gave you the keys to the kingdom? How much time do you have behind a gun - with the mag release set up either way - to truly determine that this is a "better" way and we should all do it? Different isn't always better. And what my wife and I do is between us thank you very much
