    Don't know if you're aware, but Caracal offers a decent discount over MSRP as part of their pro deal: https://caracalusa.com/cop/

    I'm personally not convinced of the merits of the piston system...

    As noted by WobblyPossum, there wasn't anything really groundbreaking in that post. The person behind Vermilion China seems to just be discovering the whole firearms/training niche, and while is...

    Well, some of the really cheap, shitty holsters are often manufacturing-centered designs, rather than human-centered. It's like saying a chair was designed using human factors engineering; sounds...

    How about practicing with a Simunition or UTM conversion kit (so you can keep your grip exactly the same) or getting a G19T? Probably will have to scout around used on GunBroker or something, or else...

    Typically, the ~1.54" mounts are labeled as absolute. The problem is that there's not an actual standard for each height, so there are plenty of companies besides Scalarworks that also go with the...

    Much more minor one in this one, but still a pretty good one:

    I think the only difference between the HL-X and HL-X Pro is the tailcap; the Pro comes with a combination clicky/tapeswitch tailcap, while the non-Pro you have to choose between the clicky and the...

    V0 comes with a spurred hammer and decocker, so you could decock it, while maintaining the weights of the V1 (or V3 SA) during normal use, while decocked it has the weight of the V3 DA. An odd beast,...

    Light is relative. It will be around the same weight as the V3 DA. That being said, shooting LEM in DA defeats the point of LEM (although I guess some folks want it, given that V0 does come with a...

    Given that the old LC and new LC are such different creatures (the new one is really just an LC Prado, rather than an actual LC), a more apt comparison might be to the new Lexus GX, which has...

    Yeah, my 20 MPG is mostly around town stuff, where I try to stay below 70 MPH even on the freeway. Long distance drives, I typically average ~17 MPG.

    Don't see the numbers up on https://www.fueleconomy.gov/, but the Toyota website states 22/25/23 MPG for city/highway/combined.

    Wonder what I could get with my driving habits; I am able to average...

    I do not remember where I saw the 50% figure (I swear I saw it somewhere reputable), but quite a few studies have shown around a 20% prevalence.

    There are certainly some advantages for that phone over your standard Android or iPhone, but at the same time, you could just as easily have a more privacy and/or security minded phone that'll have...

    Define "rare". Phoria's prevalence in the population may be as high as 50%. As @Failure2Stop noted while he was an instructor:

    I don't know what the pricing is on the VS API-BZs direct from VS, but you can find places selling the Tencate/Integris CR6450 more easily, and they're the same plate.

    I think the point that DocGKR is making is that you absolutely do not need a level IV plate, but if you get a level III plate rather than a special threat, you absolute need to make sure it can...

    There is no real relationship between temperature and CRI. An obvious example would be sodium lamps, which typically are in the 2000 K range, yet also have CRIs well below 50, which is substantially...

    The problem is that nothing outside the official NIJ standards is, well, standardized. Level III+ is typically used as a short-hand way of saying a plate does defeat both M855 and M193 besides the...

    The ShotStop Duritium III+PA are not rated for M855. As a pure UHMWPE plate, they provide minimal protection against it.

    I asked about NIJ certification only because I've heard of some departments...

    Based off of what I've seen/read, the FLOW 556k is going to have a larger visual signature in terms of flash than an RC2, and probably more than an RC3, but that's much more a function of the RC2...
