High Exposure

What organs do you think are vital that the armor is not covering?

IMO the Accupoint is a superior choice to the ACOG - especially in the area of eye relief and eye box. At that price, it is a no brainer. Get the Accupoint. Buying a fixed power scope in today’s age of affordable, robust, reliable and lightweight LPVOs is crazy.

This is for the weapon mounted light. Not for an optic.

WD40 pen works the best. The a single drop of whatever liquid rifle lube you prefer. A thin coat of Vaseline or Chapstick (Dr. Pepper flavor) works as well, but is not my first choice because it blocks more of the light being emitted. The carbon builds up on the coating and is easy to wipe off with just your thumb.

That is frickin’ SWEET Tex! Can I have it?

What?!?! PM me your address! I’m sending you a new trigger guard and a new pistol grip. You dropped a $200 trigger in your carbine before changing the most important interface you have to the rifle - that being the one between between the shooting hand and the firing grip. My wrist and hand ache, and the first knuckle on the middle finger of my shooting hand itches just looking at this. Craziness!!!

I was doing some looking around and found this. Helikon Tex Mini Training Rig: $94 and still in stock/available on Amazon. Helikon Tex is a European tactical gear company, they make good stuff, but are relatively unknown in the states. Lot’s of value here of you are looking to spend a little to get a lot.

Yeah. I was thinking that as well - But didn’t want it to be construed as some kind of veiled dig.... Folks have gotten touchy around here lately....

Very real possibility. Try to take a photo of the blooming dot. If the photo shows a crisper dot than what you are seeing with your eye, it’s you and not the dot. If the photo shows a big red bloom as well, it’s a defective optic. Call Aimpoint - their CS is outstanding. If it is your eye and not the optic, try a reflex sight (reflected laser) like an EO Tech vs the red dot (LED) Aimpoint. Some people have better luck with one over the other. If it is your eye, I have a AA Battery EOTech if you want to trade.

What a piece of junk. I’ll give you $50 for it.

Working and spending way to much money on my hobbies.

I’m with Ray Ray on this one. Start close then move back to your zero distance. I hope no one is using a laser to zero this guns and then calling it “good” without confirming their sights are good to go.

I second this. I am a training junkies and have taken classes from some of the best and most sought after instructors out there. Sights & Triggers is a tremendous value - excellent and affordable training right in our own backyard. Spend your money on Joe with confidence.

Awesome!!

R4-M9! Red Four standing by!

You do that every night.

One more time - for the cheap seats! Lights aren’t only useful in complete darkness - they are often times necessary to discriminate targets even in daylight conditions. The light doesn’t give your position away any more than your physical body does. Employing proper techniques for the use of the light as well as cover/concealment mitigate any negatives you may think are real. If a TTP (tactic/technique/procedure) will get you “kilt in da streets” with a WML, it will get you “kilt in da streets” without one. The light isn’t for navigation. It is for target discrimination. The light has nothing to do with “knowing your home”. He/She who powers through OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) first usually wins. Notice the first O - Observe. Being able to see well is crucial.

That’s Garand Thumb. He’s an Active Duty Air Force - I think he was a PJ/SERE Instructor. He makes review videos of gear and firearms. He’s actually pretty funny, and his vids are decent most of the time.

So, uh, what do you do if you have a deadly force confrontation under normal daylight conditions? You know, where a bad guy can see you, and therefore your mere presence gives away your position? Do you quickly throw on your cloak of invisibility? You can’t quickly discriminate a deadly threat from a non-deadly threat, if you can’t see. You can’t accurately shoot a positively IDed threat, if you can’t see. You can’t accurately determine if your shots hit, if you can’t see. You can’t verify that your hits worked to incapacitate your threat, if you can’t see. The ability to see, and the mentally process what you see, is the single most important factor in deciding who wins a gunfight. Why should you engage in a gunfight and remove your biggest advantage ON PURPOSE?!?!? The weapon light is not for navigating your home. It’s for friend/foe identification and for making deadly force decision with proper information. I don’t care if you can somersault around your house blindfolded and never bump a wall or piece of furniture. That’s not what the light is for. What’s important is determining if what you are pointing your gun at is a deadly threat that is a valid target, or not - and doing it faster than your opponent By getting inside their OODA loop. But, but, but ambient light and stuff!! Even under full daylight conditions you may need a weapon light to target discriminate a threat, let alone ambient light. Here is my son, in my kitchen during the day. (This is simply for demonstration of light conditions and how we “see” the world, even when it isn’t dark out. I’m not advocating shooting children burglars in your home, or even offering up a scenario for discussion. He is simple the model I had on hand to demonstrate this very common setup of bright background with shadow.) What’s in his hand? A SIRT training pistol or a TV remote? How fast could you make the determination of a shoot/no shoot under these common daytime, normal, lighting conditions if my son was actually an unknown person?

You seen “Sinners and Saints” yet Ray? Awesome movie with Johnny Strong and some pretty great gunfights. I couldn’t get through “Daylight’s End”. Terrible movie. I turned it off about 3/4 the way through.... I did like that Yeager got popped early on though.

Accessories in order of importance on a social- gun (long or handgun): 1) Holster/Sling 2) Light 3) Optic

Yes. ADM Also makes the lowest mount I have found for a PRO. I have one on my MSAR. I know it has a light - because you’re sensible. I was responding to Silverado saying to lose the light.
