We got one of those Sunbeams and while it works, I hate it. It bubbles loudly and keeps me awake. Is yours quiet? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yea, a mallet, brass or plastic punch and some patience. Hard to find universal movers for under a hundred bux. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep, my P30S model seems to be almost like the VP, but not quite the same. Hard to explain. I had the P30 before the VP9 and I'm in love with both equally. Leaning slightly towards the VP9... But I try not to compare them too much. What I need to do is swap around the grips to see how close I can get the feel. Just haven't had the time. The safety is a tad high when engaged but after owning several HKs, I have adjusted and it has now become memory. It's no doubt, takes a tad getting use to. But the work well. But then again, I'm an HK fan! I have IWB for both and kept at 4... Too much spare tire for AIWB.... Lmao. That might change soon though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shane, not to offset the thread, but why not a P30? It's the closest thing you described that is very similar to a VP9. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you do a hard reset by holding down home and power at same time till logo appears? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The shadow box works well. It's what I used for mine. It can hold ribbons, medals and other small items like dog tags.... If you just have them loose, see if he can help you order them on their bars. Also tell him thanks for his service and wish him well for us. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Distressed? This is actually called Beat Down on my Colt... If ya like it, why not? Don't have to trash a gun to make it look different than the norm... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea, I know. But I shoot alone, eyes are going bad and there is nothing worse than having to break to look in your spotting scope. Figure I'll see that bullet hit now. I would never put that type of scope on a lower end model AR... The M6 is a very accurate gun compared to my other ARs... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Finally finished my LWRC M6.....Added Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-1 Retical, Aimpoint T-1 2MOA, PRS Stock, Monopod by Accu-Shot, etc.... Now just have to get it to the range for sighting in..

Was just gonna say, I put one on my lightweight and it's a flame thrower. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just remember. This is not really for what ifs. The exercise is personal to each individual. What I want people to grasp is whether in any scenario in their home, can they execute a plan. Age and experience can either be a downfall or advantage. HE, you are an exception to the rule. You are highly experienced. Others, not so much. This exercise is intended to mark failure and to correct with proper techniques. I said it before. I can almost bet most people only think they can perform this. But with different hurdles, they won't know until they try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok folks! Been awhile. How about a SitRep? Any try these tasks in your home? How have you done? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They can afford guns and most likely cell phones, put their own steel door on. Maybe this would not have happened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seriously... I'm guessing the good guys won not knowing names, etc. On a joking note, if the bad guy was the whiner... finish the job, shoot him again to shut his arse up. (j/k) What a cheap shit door!

I continued this in a separate thread and apologize to the OP. Here is the link: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/74674-personal-home-defense-scenarios-exercises/?p=944365

Purpose of this thread: To determine how you would/could handle a real life scenario in different facets and times in your home. Preparation: Stage various types of weapons and/or carry if you do that already. If you stage your HD weapons, try staging the ones you use now. At the end of this exercise, if you felt in any way uncomfortable and was not able to control your current weapon, try a different one. What I mean is, if you stage a Shotgun or AR and that didn't work, stage a Hand Gun. Or Vice Versa.. Procedure: Set up various scenarios in your home involving different times, points of entry by intruder, getting to your defense weapon of choice, etc. Determining Outcome: Was your drill successful? What can/will you do to get to the end of the a successful scenario? WHERE/ARE YOU READY TO KILL OR BE KILLED to protect your family? Expectations: I don't expect any replies to this unless you have fullfilled the excercise. Please refrain from anything not pertaining to this exercise unless you have done a similar one before. I would like to see any experts in their field, ie.; LE, etc... to lend a helping hand. Summary: Did you learn what you only thought you knew? How can you plan better? How can you practice in your home. Determine what tools will aid you in this endeavor. Disclaimer: I am a qualified instructor in another world, but I'm by no means an instructor that trains any HD techniques. I assume no responsibility in anything you do or cause in your life. That means you get hurt, shot or anything of a sort, I am not responsible. Most of what you will read in this particular post is food for thought and some of my personal obstacles. DO NOT USE LIVE AMMO! THIS IS NOT A LIVE FIRE EXERCISE! Please warn any family members to stay clear or do it while they are not around. Comments: This thread was created out of necessity IMHO. I see so many questions here over the years like, but not limited to: Which HD weapon is the best? Where can I get trained? etc., etc. What someone considers the best, may not be the best for you. What you need to do is determine what is best for you in all scenarios. I will list some below but before I do that, please understand that I am not under minding anyone's recommendations or comments. Please also, do not make this thread into a who is right and who is wrong pissing match. I also don't expect comments of what your house looks like, how your furniture is set up, etc... What I want to see is how you would handle common day obstacles in your way of creating the best outcome. Couple of my problems and scenarios, (copied from my posts in another thread and edited for clarity and spelling)... - I got hypothetical questions for yaz. (I know the answers, but want to see your responses).... Using any weapon in your home for defensive purposes. Has anyone considered, the 'when and where' you'll be using your HD weapon? Now where, is almost obvious. It will vary by room. The 'when' is more of the question. And have you trained in the various locations. Here are a few to consider. I use these examples because we ARE all different.. Scenarios will also vary depending on type of your home. For example, a Ranch, a Colonial, location of bedrooms, locations of staged weapons. There is also the bloody hand not being able to open a bio safe or any combo vs staged guns. But let's answer that one separately. - You don't have to shoot. I want you to use your own house. You can use snap caps if you desire. Or don't use any type of ammo. Just your weapon of choice. Quick Note: I do not carry in my home. Most of the time I'm in gym shorts and a T-Shirt. Scenario 1) Ok, here is what I mean. I take naps on my living room couch. Where would my mind be, where is my weapon staged compared to my couch? What condition am I in when I wake up? Is my head in a fog? Can I get to my gun without tripping over the ottoman if I'm not fully awake? How much time did it take to get my weapon ready and draw down or investigate? Scenario 2) I'm older than most. I have to take meds before I go to bed and depending what time I'm arisen due to noise, dog barking or whatever, I'm a little dopey/dozy... Can I get to a weapon ready status? Can I get out of bed without shooting my foot? My 2nd flr. bedroom is tight as I'm not a bedroom person. I sleep and whatever and I leave it when I'm done. This means I have no room to swing ready a shotgun or AR... Hence, my 1st line of defense is a 45, then if I can make it to my closet, the AR is ready. Is the threat already on the 2nd flr? Did he only make it half way up the stairs, etc...? ------ There are 2 for you to configure to your situation. This is how I train in my own home. Sometimes they are just dry runs, others might be with a laser system. Reason why I bring all this up is because I can almost bet that hardly anyone takes these things into consideration. This is why I question people about HD and what weapon they will use. There is always the best weapon, but it may not work for everyone. Hence, I try not advise people what I think is best. It may not be for them. ------ Please only post your full scenario and your out-come and do you feel your current training is adequate. Run and gun training, tactical training and other types are all fine. But will they work for you in your home? If you do not have any or much training, can you save your life or the life of your loved ones? THIS IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT! What you may fine is your weapon of choice may not be good for you after all. Please take everything I typed here in this post into consideration. Because most of the time an invasion might occur, you might not be at the ready or be able to respond like you would if you were. Use YOUR HOME as the only example. Use or avoid your walls, furniture, safe rooms, or any obstacles. Think how you awaken from a deep sleep. Can you handle your weapon safely when you do awake? Can you see good enough without your glasses if your wear them? Can you get your family to a safe room or similar? Forget about the dog unless he/she is willing to step in. Forget about hiding and waiting for the threat to come to you, especially if you have a yappy dog, you are toast! This is about you as your family's main line of defense. CAN YOU DO IT?! Outcome: What was your outcome? Don't be shy... you are here to learn. Was your first weapon of choice the right one for you after all? Did your drills all work successfully or fail? Do you need more training? Did your training help? Final Thoughts: I've learned a lot in life in all types of crazy tasks. I'm retired, but I've been involved for many years as a first responder and in various types law enforcement. I am in no longer an expert. Techniques have changed over the years. For example, I trained using the Weaver stance and am good at it. Today, Isosceles is the recommended stance and even though I can do it, I'm better at Weaver and my muscle memory just automatically goes to it due to the original training. There are many here that have extensive knowledge of weapons and training in many facets. From Law Enforcement to Military. I've learned in my life, I'm not as good as I use to be. This is not because I don't train. It's because I'm getting old and more broken as I do. I have had multiple injuries over the years that are getting worse. Some that cannot be reversed. My eye sight is going. Not super bad yet, but for pin point shooting, I have to wear my glasses. But I train home without them. Beings I don't wear them all the time, I may not get to them if I'm in bed or have to fumble for them. ( I can make head shots anywhere in my home! ) Again, don't be shy. We are all here to help. Just PLEASE try keep this thread on track. No arguing or flaming please. Links to some training tools/courses: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=laserlyte+training&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Alaserlyte+training http://gunforhire.com/home-defense-shotgun/

As mentioned, most use the bullet tip. I found that most of those tools are made cheap and will not fit various configurations. If you can find a good one, you're lucky. If the manufacturer gives you one with their sight, most will work. But third party, forget about it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
