Thanks for the education- I have no experience to draw from. I gather DDGs like the McCain do not have them, but would the ships that warrant a permanent complement of Marines also have segregated...
How does it work with marines assigned to a navy vessel- do they maintain their own arms room separate from the ships’s own armory? Given the vcog, I’m assuming the rifle in the photo-op was Marine...
You’re right that the current status did not appear out of thin air and we must remember the history that got us to our current place, but we must also keep continual ongoing evolution in sight. Just...
Yes. Safariland rates it for duty use and I practice retention including the QLS.
Personally I use the QLS for this (and other) situations such as entering a correctional facility where the gun must come off. QLS or no, if in an unsecure facility the entire belt needs to be under...
Greatly appreciate it. Have one of the factory direct mill guns sitting in the safe for lack of holster.
Any chance you know what specific duty holster(s) they’re using? Safariland only lists the 6xxx-2222 fitment for the 4.25” M&P, but it says it only works with open emitter optics. Are they just...
Incredibly frustrating given both Glock and S&W now have factory equipped Acro bundles and minimal (Glock) or no (S&W) Acro specific holster fits that protect the optic.
Semi-annual check-in on Acro compatibility- last year there was mention of it, and a rep I spoke with verbally said the new enclosed specific hood was supposed to be ready 2023/Q4. Unfortunately I...
Specifically the Acro direct cut factory gun. Only other experience with the m&p line is a 1.0/45 from 2009 and I can’t remember any issues with that, although it was 15 years ago. I’ll try to find a...
Are there any alternatives for slide stops? I’ve got a very thumbs high/forward grip and I’m both activating the slide stop prematurely and not reliably getting slide lock on empty. For Glocks I...
The trigger and trigger bar absolutely are solidly connected. However, the trigger bar and sear are not- they are held together through spring tension. The early (pre-VUP) system could allow the...
Like many who already posted, my track record for CPR as a small town cop is not good. I don’t know how many losses I’ve had (at least 20), but I know I’ve had exactly 1.5 saves as part of a team of...
Another thing to keep in mind is the 320 is essentially hamstrung by using 250 architecture, so a lot of parts were designed to fit in the space the 250 already had. Fundamentally the 320 is a...
I have shot both examples (with 15lb springs) WHO on the clock with no observed issues, but it’s not thorough testing.
Best I can tell it was likely overcharged ammo. The unanticipated loud noise and auto eject mag was 2 rounds into a stage and both hits were visible on target, so definitely no squib. Fortunately it...
Wow I was wrong about the striker drag. Completely concur with OOB in light of the pictures. Glad it worked out and if it helps for your library, here’s my only case rupture: 105606105607
Curious failure mode, usually there’s either noticeable pressure signs or obvious out of battery indicators. Primer doesn’t look particularly flattened and the hit, while not perfectly centered,...
Worked on refining the zero on a new-ish Tikka CTR with Burris XTR3 and chrono-ing the S&B ammo I have a fair bit of. Ended up with decent data- ES of 20, SD of 8.01. 105447105448
After doing some freeze framing of the video and comparing action profiles with the Mark V and Vanguard, I think its a different action. There is a gas relief hole on the right side of the front...
It's been a thing for agency purchasing with the G45 for the better part of a year or so. They have a number of options for direct mill with factory mounted optics- RMR, SRO, 508T, 509T, ACRO.
Conceptually that looks very similar to the Tikka CTR- blending the field/hunting/PRS influences into a jack-of-all trades while leaving areas for a shooter to grow/modify to suit their tastes. It...
Not sure that's accurate for agency purchasing. I spoke with a regional LE sales rep 2 weeks ago who advised the 47 was available with the same direct mill/optics packages as the 45. He did say...
On the lighting quality front I’m in agreement with Cowen, but there is one factor he doesn’t discuss that might lead to forcing the -7A (or -9) into duty use- the gap around the trigger guard with...
