High Exposure

There is iron in your words. Real life isn’t the movies and the human body is an amazing thing. I’ve seen people survive horrific wounds and keep fighting. I’ve seen people who are dead and just don’t know it yet, they fight until they win, then expire.

I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I was just in St Augustine for the weekend 2 weeks ago - I was taking an EAG class with the new owner - Brian Canova - who finally took over the company after Pat passed. Brian is a St John’s County Sheriff’s Officer and runs a great class - if anyone is in the area and is interested in quality carbine training. Beautiful place and great people. I could live there.

Can I have it? That grip work is outstanding.

I just spent a week doing Critical Incident Response/CQB training with Northern Red. All of their instructors are former CAG. They all shot 5.56 carbines while overseas and did not see the need for anything bigger for their roles (these guys were assaulters, and that’s the mission set they refer to. Sniper/long range type stuff is a different ballgame - the mission drives the gear train). They were all very happy with the effectiveness of the 5.56 round and the AR platform as a whole. If I remember right they said they used the Barnes 62 or 77 grain TSX projectiles and killed more bad guys than cancer with them.

I got a LaRue rifle for $1100 - buy the ultimate upper kit for $881 and a LaRue Lower for $199. Just sayin’ Geissele doesn’t sell complete rifles. You should add LMT, ADM, and Colt to the list. I think WarSport is out of business as of January of this year. Pick a 5.56 model for a Knights gun - apples to apples. I would also drop the piston gun - again keep it apples to apples. Also, you should make it clear that you can vote for more than one company in your poll. I voted for BCM, Noveske, and DD. I didn’t vote for KAC because it was a .308 gun and it’s not an equal comparison.

The square is Brass Aluminum Forging Enterprises Colt, BCM, and DPMS have all used BAFE in their carbines.

Knight’s all day long. I do not like the SCAR.

Yes. My understanding of the solicitation is that JR88USMC is correct.

Math isn’t your strong suit is it bud?

He dropped it.

It’s a Leather Piñata amigo. Some Israeli company has been pushing these types of sights for years. They work mediocre at best, and that only under perfect lighting conditions where you can get directly behind the gun. It’s 60 year old tech. I award them no points, and may God have mercy on their souls.

I like the Falx - I have 3 of them. They shoot great - crisp with a short reset. I did have an issue with the pin that holds the trigger safety backing out on all three. Overwatch was great. They sent me brand new triggers - no questions asked - and never took the old ones back.

Double tap

Ha Ha this! It’s 64* and I still have another full day of shooting ahead of me.

Noooooooooo! I am driving back from St Augustine Sunday night in a Monday. I have to work Tuesday morning.

Yeah ya do

MM does nice work!

Bonded ammo isn't really the best choice for FISHing. You want the ammo to break up and slow down if you miss. You do not want it to stay intact and retain velocity and mass. You also don't want to shoot through your target and worry about where the round goes next. Bonded is great if you are shooting through glass or car doors, it is kind of specialized. It would probably work well on animals with tough hides and thick bodies where your rounds need to penetrate further, but for HD or SD, not so much.

HA! "Perfect is the enemy of good" - Voltaire I know there are plenty of guns out there with better triggers, that are more accurate, that are reliable - but the Glock is good enough. Plenty of holster options, parts are easy to source, excellent value for what you pay, accurate enough, trigger is good enough. - But that P10 was sweet, I shot it against the striker fired models from HK, Walther, and my G19. The CZ was clearly the best of the bunch. Also, I am a big fan of "beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it". I am issued and required to carry a Glock on duty. Why change that? I can qualify with or train with just about anything I want off duty. I just don't see value in spending time with a different gun than the one that I am required to carry 12 hours a day. I can train with a Glock 23, 27, or 35 and not loose a step. I have/had a S&W M&P, a Kahr, a HK P2000, a SA TRP Operator 1911, and others... They all shoot great, but it takes a few mags and some time to get accustomed to the feel of the grip, the recoil, the controls, natural point of aim for me, etc... Then I have to run through some time and ammo to get back up to speed with the Glock. The juice is just not worth the squeeze for me... When I am free to choose what I want to carry 100% of the time, or if I am issued something other than a Glock, I may choose something different. Until then, Glocks for me.

I really like the CZ P10. It has the nicest striker fired trigger press I have ever felt.

When I got hired we carried the railed TSW4013 (same gun but in .40). Many cracked frames, many broken internal parts, all armorer work to fix them required hand fitting parts - tedious and often ended in wasted parts, the magazine only held 9 rounds, awful slide mounted decocker and safety, the sights were mediocre at best, duty holsters were impossible to find..... blech.... 5 years later we went to Glock 22s. Glocks are light years ahead of the TSW series in reliability, longevity, and shootability.

In use the QLS plates on all my Safariland holsters. It’s very a very useful addition. Mounting is solid and the little bit of standoff it provides is nice.

Concerning AR type rifles - No Lefty Models! You’ll be fine with a standard AR. You don’t even need Ambi controls.

Everyone makes such a big deal about it like it’s voodoo or something. Eye dominance issues are pretty easy - • Shoot handguns with your dominant hand • Shoot long guns with your dominant eye Just know that it is OK to shoot handguns righty and long guns lefty and vice-versa. Yes, you absolutely can train your other eye to take over - but it takes a lot of time. That time translates into a lot of ammo and, bottom line, that is expensive. It is faster and more efficient to train your weak hand to match the proficiency of your strong hand than it is to get your non dominant eye to take over for your dominant eye 100%. It is a much faster solution, and more cost effective, to work the repetitions on your weak hand than your weak eye.
