At 15:54 in the below video, Dan from Federal talks about why a few of their most popular (with people like us) products have been hard to find, including 12 gauge 8 pellet 00 FC as well as #1 FC....

Wow, that's sketchy. They're essentially selling proof loads as "match grade."

Does anyone have experience with this particular load (55gr Barnes JHP BT) or 55gr JHP's in general? What can be expected from them as far as terminal performance? Do they tend to behave more like an...

What mount are you using for your light on the supernova in this picture?

Mine has proven to be solid. It's definitely a huge upgrade from the longer LOP on the original stock. As others have pointed out, the grip angle is less than ideal, but it doesn't really make a...

I second this. I've found LAPG's clothing to be just about the best value around. I've had really good luck with their pants and polo shirts, which fit true to size (a rarity these days it seems)....

I did read the whole thing, and I'm glad that I did! :)

Thanks for the information! This is definitely the route I am taking.

This looks like a great setup! I have a question about adding the DCC clips that you might be able to answer. I see the option on the order page to add the clips to the 2.5, but their FAQ says that...

As much as I appreciate LuckyGunner for their tests and YouTube content and try to support them when I can, those prices are absurd. The 8 pellet is available by the case for $1.20 per round here:

Just saw an advertisement for a (new?) Federal shotgun load that claims:

"Its nine copper-plated 00 FX2 buckshot pellets are specially engineered to split into two equal-size pieces on impact....

Good to know, this will save me some time. Thanks all.

You're not the only procrastinator. I've been putting off unboxing and photographing all of the individual box UPC's. I'll have around $200 coming back to me though, so I'll buck up eventually.

The rebate is applicable to any HST boxes, unless something has changed. I know people who have received rebates on both 20rd .38+p HST and the 50rd boxes of .45. I'm currently waiting on rebates for...

Does anyone here have any experience with Freeze +P? It's what I've been carrying for a few years now based on the recommendations of a few LEO's with experience using it.

Also, from what I've...

I recently tried out some of the new Carhartt hot weather cargo pants and I am very impressed. They are ridiculously comfortable and seem very durable for such a relatively light weight fabric. They...

They are ceramic/UHMWPE according to the manufacturer. They are way too light to be steel, and are about 0.8 inches thick. They feel comparable in size and density to the high end SAPI plates I was...

This is good to know, thank you for clarifying. The Hesco plates aren't that much more expensive but are definitely heavier. I guess I'll just bite the bullet and deal with the extra weight.

What are the typical issues with these brands? Is it poor QC? If they meet the same NIJ standard shouldn't they be acceptable? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm genuinely curious.

Botach has level IV hybrid plates for $100 each or $90 each for 2+. They are 5.5 pounds per plate and have nice padding around the edges for drop protection. This is the best deal I have found for...

In smaller ED's and larger ED's that are understaffed it's quite common to give IM sedatives to people that are a danger to themselves or staff. It takes a few people to hold them down and one to...

Just wanted to note that only the newer TDI knives have locking sheaths. The older ones with the sharper handle angles don't have locking sheaths. It's a shame, too, because that's what I most liked...

With or without the sheath? I found the sheath to be too sticky, half of the time I pulled the knife I ended up pulling the sheath with it out of MOLLE. I ended up tying the sheath to the MOLLE webs...

Mine is the serrated version, but otherwise yes, hence my reconsideration. Ironically, I almost passed on this knife because it doesn't have much of a handle and can be relatively difficult to access...

It's one thing to carry a fixed blade knife on your vest or carrier when it's obviously a knife (i.e. a big obvious handle). It's another thing to have a knife that is low-profile and would be...
