I've been really hard on a couple of Lifeproof cases, several in the household. Normal life, hard outdoor use, etc.

This is also as much art as science when you're playing with wind speed, direction, air temp, altitude, terrain, condition of objective, dispersion/dilution, proximity, and the particulars of the dog...

There are a lot of ways to disappear in the backcountry, and tech/dogs/search ops/etc aren't television. You don't have to be far off the road to be gone for good if you fell in the wrong spot or the...

I look at it this way... The wobble in the dot reinforces that the wobble across my irons is okay, and to focus on my press. In the same way that shooting my J frame reinforces a good trigger press.

Yes, that's handy.

Last several experiences with Streamlight CS exceeded expectations.

Below applies to a CONUS "normal" context.
Comes up a lot in active shooter/MCI training and exercises - more than ever with RTF/TEMS push out to line troops.

Buy a 580-series, newest version.
20rd OEM mags only.
Run wetter than you think it needs and relube proactively.

I see your reasoning, but wonder... Other than the annual training requirement, does participating in your program obligate you to do any of the things that you're concerned about? Why not keep your...

Mags are interchangeable until you swap mag catch. You say "range mags" so I wonder about wear. Check mag lips, mag catch notch, follower, spring, and seam along the back wall for unzipping. Try a...

Which HB load matters. The bullets and OALs are obviously different, with some combinations of sku/gun more compatible than others. (PCCs, long OALs in micros, etc)

I've not seen any indication...

The Tango Down plates are GTG and good options for what you're doing.
I prefer orange (OEM or TD) for live-fire training mags, but I'm obsessive like that.

Dean Caputo's MEAL acronym is true for handguns as well as ARs. Useful. For those unfamiliar...mags, extractor, ammo, lube.

Saying 1911 is like saying AR15, both nearly meaningless without...

Good stuff already posted. Some thoughts:

Starting from pouch size rather than required contents is backwards, but sometimes reality.
Mag pouch isn't an IFAK pouch, and slightly bigger gives...

Thanks. My search-fu sucked I guess. :D

Nashville PF'ers- Can you kindly supply your current recommendations for eating, entertainment, and unique experiences to cover ~72 hours on the ground. Both for the typical tourist traveler, and...

Unless nerding out on them, I mostly just put them through a practice session. If they work, GTG. For more...

Vidda Pro is a great pant, regular and the vent. Durable in the brush. Getting the right wax build for conditions can be a nuisance, but the pant is solid.

It's a pretty good thread. Here's my post from it, and my views haven't changed.

I've used the SAS sights and have had them come through CCW and BUG training. They can work, but are harder work....

Mine: ~8000 rounds, battery every 3-4 months, retains zero, stays put. No complaints.

Oh, ok. I see that, old Stiletto vs new. I was thinking in terms of Stiletto vs others.

If you ever posted why, I don't remember seeing it. Say more?

Garden hose, brush, and hang in the sunlight.

Cool. I don't have any of those, looking forward to your feedback.

The pants are GTG if you do any more shopping.

Fjrallraven makes some good stuff. Which pieces are you looking at?
