Great info, thanks for taking the time to write it out.

I wonder if you commented to those guys in advance, a warning and they rolled their eyes and then it happened. Or depending on the context,...

Curious to hear about bad ideas for AR rail configurations. There’s a handful of good ways to do things, depending on context and arm/torso length of the shooter. I’m curious what are some universal...

Of course, the physics makes perfect sense and I have an old upper with a 16” barrel and carbine gas tube and 7” rail and I thought I was being smart moving the light as far forward of the rail as...

When you explain it, I can imagine it Happening now, so thank you for for the clarification. May I ask your context? Have you seen this in the military (and if so, what kind of unit, maybe entry work...

What’s the exact issue with lights past the front of the rail?

Is it ever a good idea to have the rail be flush with the end of the barrel’s flash hider/muzzle brake?

I’d be afraid of grabbing the rail too far down, near the end, and hot gas burning me.

I...

I found some threads here and on ARFcom discussing this but I’m still confused.

How do I determine the correct/optimal rail to use on a given upper?

Back before folding sights, everyone was...

My biggest concerns for the next 20 years are widespread droughts and utility grid disruptions. Our utility grid sucks and SCADA systems are easily hackable by bad actors. I'd like to put resources...

They’re both stupid guns.

The g43x is stupid because you need a longer holster, that is g48 sized, to avoid muzzle flip over the belt. So if you’re carrying a holster that fits/prints the same as...

G43x is dumb because if you’re going to actually carry it in a concealed holster, you need a holster that’s longer than the muzzle because the slide is on short and could easily flip around over your...

I didn’t say anything about fighting laser equipped opponents. I’m talking about people holding an iPhone up, with the camera on, and using that as a form of NODs. If you haven’t seen what the newest...

Yes, interested in passive IR work against NODs equipped enemies. May sound like fantasy but there’s at least some AntiFa buying NODs with their stimmy checks. And newer iPhones can pick up IR...

dogcaller and rob_s,

Your thoughts/experience is what landed me to buying the magpul fixed MOE stock which is a modern day A1.

I lack the depth of AR experience you both have but I’ve fired...

One of the instructors a while back I took a handgun class with said that a lot of people shot a 26 better than a 19 because the pinky was gripping the gun and jerking the front sight down.

I...

Thanks for advice on instructor list, I’ll keep a look out for them coming to my area.

A local instructor and SWAT friend independently suggested a 2.26 mount when I mentioned I bought dual tube...

Not sure why everyone always assumes a poster hasn’t taken training classes. I’ve done an average of 2 per year for the last 15 years.

3 or 4 of them were carbine based.

Sorry, I don’t...

What accessories do y’all suggest for the night vision storage pouch? I picked up the TNVC storage pouch and it has a small amount of space for accessories.

I don’t want to overload it, but I lack...

If it’s possible to break something, I can break it. Truth be told I should only own AKs :p

Has anyone done any durability testing on buttstocks to see if a fixed stock like the newish magpul A1...

Thanks for the last few replies. It’s making a ton of sense now.

So Unity made/makes products targeting military who are forbidden from permanently modifying their guns so they buy a whole slide...

This makes a lot of sense. So Unity developed the 2 before MOS was released and rather than abandoning their R&D they decided to put it forward even though most intelligent consumers would likely...

Sorry but I don’t get it. If the gun us about $500 to $600 and the red dot is about $500 to $600, then a custom cut might be $1k to $1400 factoring in the cost to mill.

If you bought an MOS you’d...

I’ve only been casually following the pistol red dot scene over the last decade. Getting closer to wanting to buy one. I think whenever a V2 acro comes out I might pull the trigger.

When things...

I learned how to shoot AR15s a while back with nose to charging handle on A2 iron sights. And I’d run the buttstock fully collapsed if wearing armor or one notch out if no armor. I bought into the...

If I put an acro on a gun I’m not carrying regularly, can I turn the optic off to save battery or will the battery drain even when off?

doesn’t look like safariland makes holsters for glock mos with acro on them, at least not in their product finder.

Perhaps it’s not listed but maybe a different red dot sight safari land holster...
