Sorry, but even if you served you can't this perceived "systematic oppression" into a reality.

I agree with basically everything you just said. What I want to know is, what are you going to do about it? I mean, I see exactly where you're coming from but all this finger wagging on here will do nothing. All the voting in the world won't turn that around.

Please, tell me what you suggest.

He got what he wanted, attention. Wether it was truly to draw that attention toward what he claimed or if he is simply a once was star on a rapid decline looking to grab some spotlight who knows. Kinda strange how he went from a Super Bowl contender to someone who may not even make the team this year. Best comment I've seen on the matter was "he should have taken the opportunity to stand, even if he makes the team he'll never get off the bench." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry, but you're wrong.

I actually like how the fusion performs in meat, but I just couldn't get it to shoot accurately enough for me to rely on it.

Got ya. Didn't know if maybe there was another brand you wanted them to model it after or something. I agree though. Gen 4's screw my hands up if I take an actual course with them and fire for an extended amount of time.

What are you thinking?

If you need ammo to stock, look no farther than Wolf Gold. It's loaded to 5.56 specs, and it's accurate enough out of every AR I own. In my experience it is one of the cheapest brass case rounds so I load up on it and buy "match" rounds in smaller quantities for when I want to shoot small groups. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure. I don't even open carry, I just get tired of the moaning and gnashing of teeth over someone open carrying a firearm as if it automatically marks them for death.

You said it all when you said "proof or no proof". Which is the point, there is no proof to back up the statement. I don't care if it's true, I asked if they could prove it. Which of course I knew the answer, because there are no facts to support it. My point of civilian vs. uniformed police officer is that it literally takes zero to no situational awareness by a bad guy to see a badge and uniform. They may not be as astute to see a handgun on a guy's waist. Entire outfit vs. one thing on a belt...no comparison. I don't really care where you stand on open carry. I simply wanted someone to prove that there was substance behind the "he'll get shot first" garbage that gets repeated every time the open carry discussion gets had, and of course there are no facts to it.

Dave, surely even you can see the difference in carrying as a plain clothes civilian and as a badged and uniformed officer

If you're going to present it as anything more than your opinion, yes. If that's your opinion, fine. Presenting facts and proving it is a different matter. If you don't have any stats to back it up, it's an opinion, and that's ok.

Can you prove that?

Is he the smartest? Nope. Am I going to whine about how someone carries if they're doing it safely? Nope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have seen it all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does the military teach you which rifles under $1,000 are best in the civilian market? Guess I need to tell my buddy that was SF that he got screwed, he came out knowing little to nothing of how to put together an AR. How to maintenance one, sure. But actually disassemble, upgrade, and reassemble...no sir. OP, If you're looking for actual info, you're in the right place. As far as budget friendly options I don't think you can go wrong with either the Ruger 5.56 or the S&W entry models.

Right, that's what I meant. The "M" designations won't be available to us cake eating civilians, but that this could very well be what they rebrand as "gen 5". Agree on the front serrations. It's on my list of things to do for a couple of my current slides.

Some speculate that this will be the Gen 5 once offered to civi's. I haven't bought a new pistol in a couple years, I may need this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This thread is over a month old, but I do want to submit a suggestion that I've tried recently. If you're serious about using irons to hit targets at distance, I believe the KAC 600m rear sight should be in the conversation. They can be found for around $70, it's my new go to rear folding sight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry, but I owned a set of these for about 2 days. They aren't even playing the same ball game that magpul is. My set had side to side wiggle when deployed, and were made out of very thin polymer. They were so bad I wouldn't even sell them, straight to the garbage they went. Not my video, but similar opinions

Uncle Tom is what you'll hear him called.

But I'm a tin foil conspiracist, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just screwing around, but at a tad over 50 yards you need about a 3-4" holdover to hit one of these Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
