    Hit factor = 10.46 today. Slow, but OK accuracy. Still working on that balance of "what can I get away with".

    Yes, it is a harsh opinion. I stand by it. In short order, the Modwing took a decent portion of skin from my middle knuckle. Took ages to heal. And I don't have big hands.

    The Modwing, IMO, is an absolute piece of shit. I've torn up my middle knuckle repeatedly during relatively short dry fire sessions. Im surprised and disappointed it has gained so much traction in...

    Love it!

    And FWIW I also had an aunt who was incredibly important to my development as a human.

    I had the chance to put a mag through one of these recently. I really liked the gun. Good accuracy, and a crisp, nice trigger. I liked the Platypus much better than the Stacatto C2 I also shot...

    I have a DPP plate for a G19 & 509T. Works fine, but that particular gun only has a few hundred rounds through it so I can't speak to long term function. I got it from Amazon for roughly $35. ...

    FWIW I broke a SCD from Tau a few years ago. I mentioned it on PF, but don't recall which thread. The plate broke at the point the roll pin goes through it.

    No big deal, parts wear out and...

    Not a medical dude or a gunslinger, so out of my lane. But it seems like a lot of the high level military guys, including KD4 and Pressberg, emphasize the upper chest.

    This drill was discussed in @Tom Givens August 2023 Rangemaster Newsletter, and also in this recent thread

    I think this is an important point. I was shooting the FAST drill today, with 0.25 - 0.3 second splits on the body shots. For me, that is basically predictive shooting - I was predicting that the...

    Thanks, I was just curious about the rationale for super short, unsuppressed rifles. They don't appeal to me, but I'm fairly sensitive to noise and blast. I've gotten more sensitive as I've gotten...

    Bill Blowers described a very similar OIS that he witnessed as a young SWAT cop. Exact same situation - the bad guy received a cranial shot and dropped like a rock. Several follow-up rounds passed...

    Agreed with all the above. For me, this is a much nicer setup than the GPT, or the Apex Duty kit. Different strokes, etc.

    Just curious, what's the appeal of the super short 5.56 rifles, like 7.5" inches? I was under the impression that 5.56 mm became pretty anemic in barrels shorter than about 10.5".

    I don't see too many short barrel rifles, but I do see (and hear) some obnoxious muzzle devices. As mentioned upthread, I think brake, compensator, and flash hider design has a huge impact on how...

    Recently installed the Performance Trigger in a Gen 5 G19. It's light, but spongy. And the trigger shoe just looks and feels cheap. I'm not a fan, and will give it to a friend.
