  1. If I'm pushing my gun into someone then trying to shoot them afterwords, a whole lot is already wrong. I don't see this as a "flaw". Well, no more a flaw than polyagonal rifling or non fully supported chambers.
  2. I'm kind of impressed your company would care enough to track down post on local forums, half way around the world to correct misinformation. May have to take a look at a Girsan.
  3. To a politician, anything that is intended to limit them is an obstacle. Eventually all of the constitution is a problem.
  4. I can't speak for David, but after seeing his initial response bout going for the C&H plate. I did as well and it was a wise, if not costly choice. It sits a bit lower, has a "recoil" shelf at the front and uses threaded post to get a better thread engagement for the optic. I have the Walther plate as well and would work just fine, but the C&H "mil-spec" is much better.
  5. They'll be enough alcohol to neutralize any virus and it'll be hard to tell if it's the virus or a hangover. BTW with that demographic, I think the virus is the least of the concerns. haha
  6. You sure are fired up about peoples perceived take on this story! Context is hard online, but my comment was a tongue-in-check shot at the hypocrisy of the "narrative". Not about Georgia killer or Watson. Sadly, whether Watson is guilty or innocent will make no difference. Much like the true story of Atlanta. It will be how the narrative directs "justice (social)" and how it can be used to further an agenda that only cares with the ideological outcome, not reality or real people.
  7. Protected class. He's the victim of the NFL Elite owner system and his addiction. His addiction will matter.
  8. It's an RPK clone. Com-block answer to the m240/249. Basically an AK with a longer barrel and bi-pod. That particular one is a VEPR, which is built in the Russian special weapons military factory. They are definitely capitalizing on the current state of American politics and import issues. $6k? not a chance. In the past RPK's were usually higher priced and a VEPR would have been a premium version (for some) but mainly because they were a niche collector market item.
  9. (Yeager) Well, it is hard to use an optic ... or a firearm laying facedown in a ditch. He does have experience.
  10. The original/breaking story was 3 dead and read like a small crime gone bad scenario at a low level psuedo prostitution joint. Most big cities, its not even front page. Truly curious why it got so much national traction. It's not a national story, maybe not even a regional story.
  11. At least he was wearing as mask or it would have been alot worse!
  12. The IAC, HAWK, and Pardner are arguable better 870 clones. The steel is measurably better than US produced 870 steel. Some barrels take a little fitting, Mainly the barrel ring spacing, but never found it to be a problem.
  13. I personally think the Walther's are some of the best looking polyguns out there. Online. Its early in a gun rush, so they are hard to find and prices vary from $589 to over $800.
  14. Made it to the range today and it is a pleasure to shoot. Very consistent and grouped tight.
  15. PPQ M2 mags, not M1 mags
  16. You could also possibly knock the iron sighs out of alignment, not have night sights for a low light shoot, tritium expire, tritium fall out, FO tube break, sight break. There are lots of hypotheticals and nothing is perfect, except using a point shooting base. For years the military and police taught point shooting, mainly ignoring irons, shooting from the waist. Revolvers barely had sights, as well as 1911's. Think Fairbairn/Sykes. Then they taught sight shooting with one eye, highly reliant on tactical/precision irons. Now we are back to sight shooting with an optic. I believe that is what Dave was pointing to with Leatham and Enos. Point shooting is always the best technique for speed, accuracy (both eyes), awareness, next target acquisition, multiple target awareness, etc. Optics are used an as aid for the effective shooter, not as a necessity. Over reliance on any sight is a crutch. Irons alone > Optics alone Optics with irons > Irons alone Point Shooting > All sight/optic
  17. Picked mine up today. It's everything it was hyped to be. Trigger is fantastic. Short clean break, definitive short reset, and light but consistent pull. Grip/ergonomics are phenomenal. Basically it took a great PPQ platform and accentuated all the good parts and made them even better. Have a Holosun 407c to mount as soon as I get the mount plate. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow!
  18. That's kinda of the point. Everything you can do with iron sights, you can do with an optic... plus more. If irons and optics are at least even for most scenarios and the optic gives you those scenarios plus more scenario possibilities where the irons are limited... It doesn't make good sense not to have an optic.
  19. I understand the idea of optics being hard to carry. I felt the same way when they first came out and to be fair, the first mounts and red dots did have some odd edges.Especially since a lot of them were dovetail/rear sight channel mounts. Once that was figured out and figured out quickly it's not a problem. It seems a bit counterintuitive, until you carry a modern pistol with an optic. It truly carriers no different than any other handgun I've ever carried and has never snagged on anything. I do have "truck" guns and stash guns that do not have optics. That is purely for simplicity and the fact I don't get to check and change batteries regularly. However, on a carry gun it does not make sense to not have an optic. Especially in low light and adverse conditions.
  20. I've had several, and the FN's I've had were absolutely beautiful. So beautiful I felt guilty just handling them. They are still on this board... somewhere ! I started my gun journey with an FEG PJK-9hp. I let that one get away because I didn't know what it was. Found another one years ago and it's a keeper. Love these things. It's a shooter!
