High Exposure

In the books Clark was a big intimidating guy. I thought Liev Schreiber in SoaF was a better casting choice, even though the movie was worse.

“Gangs of London” on AMC+, and “Peaky Blinders” on Netflix we’re both pretty awesome Also, “Without Remorse” (my 2nd favorite Clancy book - first is “Red Storm Rising”) is being made as an Amazon series. I always wanted to see them make this into a movie followed by a Rainbow 6 movie. Not sure in the release date though. For those unfamiliar, “Without Remorse” it is the backstory for Mr Clark, a prominent character in the Jack Ryan series. They cast Michael B Jordan as Clark.

Golf course is a terrible waste of a good unknown distance range.

Agreed

Nothing I said was useless or sarcastic. It is good advice that I have given to countless other new shooters, both in person and on the forum, and never had any complaints that I was being mean. In fact, I gave the same advice in your thread looking for a WML for your pistol and when it was all said and done, you thanked me for it. What I said was 100% said to help, not discourage. Also - point of order: After the answer of “yes”, it was you that continued the conversation trying to justify your assumption. If you didn’t respond, the thread would have ended there. Anyway, good luck with the optic.

You can get butt hurt about it and leave, or you can take the advice in the spirit it was given and stay and learn a thing it two. Your choice.

I liked it. Looking forward to next season!

You took a gamble on a lower priced optic. You may have no issues with that optic whatsoever. Or it could die tomorrow. So - you have 2 choices: 1) Send it back 2) Use it until it breaks There is a reason that those of us who’ve been at this for a while preach the “buy once, cry once” philosophy as well as the “best value over lowest cost”. Good gear costs money. There is no way around it. Ignore it at your wallet’s peril. In all fairness, as far as lower priced optics go, you made a good choice. Also, don’t blame us, or anyone else, because you didn’t research where the products you spend your hard earned money on. You obviously have access to the internet. All the answers are at your fingertips if you simply ask the question. Learn and move on.

If I remember correctly - Holosun makes the Romeo 5 for Sig. It is also the only Sig RDS optic approved for duty use by the FBI and their HRT if that matters. I know a few guys that run them with no issues.

Tactical pimp, hard at work.

What? $400 is a fair price for a used upper. Hell, you’re the second owner! Who knows what kind of abuse the original guy put it though. It’s really a gamble at this point. I was being generous!

Lol! If you feel badly or are having regrets about it, I’ll give you $400 for the upper.

We did just have a related conversation didn’t we? You’re a good man. You probably saved my marriage! Intriguing..... let me think about it....

Bro! You’re killing me. I have a lower with an A2 stock just sitting here staring at me......

Ike is the man!! What did your return address say? He always uses crazy names.

I had a Brownells G19 slide that I bought right when they first came out. It worked fine. Sold it to a member here as a starter RMR setup. I just got a new Brownells G34 slide last week to top off a stripped Glock frame I had. Assembled easily - everything seems in spec. Haven’t gotten a chance to shoot it yet. I heard there can be some issues with fitting in Safariland holsters, but I have not experienced that myself.

I think it is $200 after the code is entered. Like I said, Ike is the man!

One other thing - a WML is not a substitute for a handheld flashlight. You really do need both - Sometimes you want to see something without pointing a gun at it. Don’t just have them either. Know how to properly use them. Simply owning a WML/flashlight doesn’t make you a night fighter any more than owning a guitar makes you Jimi Hendrix. Invest in software as well as hardware. It’s worth every penny.

The only difference is in how the mounting system works. “A” type (rail slide with latch) preferred for polymer guns ”B” type (cross bolt) preferred for metal framed guns

If you shop around or wait for a holiday sale you can find them for around $225-$250. Cue shitposting “of my light was $50 and is just as good” (not calling out anyone specifically, just been here long enough to know what follows after you recommend quality lifesaving gear that is expensive) My response - • Buy once, cry once. • You get what you pay for. • Don’t aspire to mediocrity. • Best VALUE is more important than lowest PRICE. I have broken just about every other pistol WML out there. I have not broken these. I now have about 6 of them. They work and they are worth it. Make sure you are getting the newest light with the brightest rating (Current is 1000 lumens but there are 500 and 600 lumen versions out there from previous generations). Buy from a reputable dealer so you don’t get an air soft copy. If the price is “Too good to be true”, it probably is. Ike at Big Tex Outdoors has them in stock now for ~ $270. Fair price and a good trustworthy company.

Surefire X300U is the “A” answer. Avoid the strobe. Keep the switchology simple - light on, light off. That’s about all the brainpower you will have to spare in a real world deployment anyway. Additionally, any strobe effect that disorients your threat, will also disorient you, AND, most importantly, strobes hide subtle movement - which means you will miss threat indicators and warning signs, specifically slow movements of the hands. Get all the light (lumens and candela) you can and be able to turn it on and off.

Measure how far your gas block is from the receiver. ~ 7” carbine ~ 9” midlength A lot of 14.5” guns (pinned brakes to make 16”) nowadays are midlength gas systems.

You’ll need an A2 spacer, and a rifle length action spring (correct name for a “buffer spring”) for sure. You may need a rifle buffer as well. Some guns will run great with a carbine buffer on a carbine or midlength gas system and a rifle length receiver extension (The correct name for a “buffer tube”), some won’t. What barrel length do you have on your upper? What gas system? Carbine? Midlength?

Brazil. Not that it couldn’t have happened here - we have all seen sketchy shit at the range. Be safe. Be smart. Don’t be afraid to call someone out on their stupid weapons handling. Remember your safety rules - They are overlapping and well thought out. Like every accidental/negligent shot that hurts or kills someone - If that guy would have followed even ONE of the four rules, no one would have gotten hurt. Loud bang and a hole in the floor/furniture maybe, but no injury.
