  1. IN my picture the last half of the lights are "standard" size Everyday carry lights. The left half are actually really small in comparison and that first one is down right thin. That being said, the S2R is actually fairly small. I didn't get the S1R because it was TOO small.
  2. You CAN cycle through settings by holding the button down but it remembers your last setting. So, unless you intentionally attempt to change settings, the switch works basically works like and on off switch. I to have been frustrated by the single button issue in the past, but the Olight isn't finicky like some others I have tried.
  3. I personally like: 1. S2R Batton II for everyday carry. It's small, light, flexible but functions like a fullsize. (3rd from left) 2. The H2R Nova - basically the same as the S2R Batton II but has a right angle head and a head band. Best headlamp I've ever used and I love that I can take it off the headband and clip it on a shirt pocket, belt etc and use it hands free. 3. M2R Warrior Pro - the one I don't have, but would love to have on my go to rifle. Great full-size light, yet still a compact body and you can add the remote tailpiece (4th from the left).I'd also love to have that Seeker 2! I also really like my PL2 Mini on my G19. Super compact but super bright. Buttons are easy to work and intuitive while keeping it simple. Awesome handgun/weapon light.
  4. In Range - Troy Sellers is TN local and really great with the unique and Krink stuff as well as standard issue builds. Robert Forbus - is another local TN guy that could do something easy like you need. He mostly sells parts and machines, but does excellent work if he takes it on. Outside of that your shipping and it'll cost a bunch for something fairly easy. Either of the above are local and world class.
  5. Not often would I post something from GMA, but what say you this? https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/video/realities-facemasks-fight-coronavirus-exposure-69252522
  6. I was trying to stay out of politics
  7. So it's over-reported and underreported. It's seriously deadly and is also >.05 death rate. Cases are skyrocketing while testing is skyrocketing but percentages of test vs. positives are down. It affects churches but not protest. If you wear a mask you are scared sheeple but morally superior, if you don't you are a selfish, unconcerned, anti-vac conspiracy nut. Also, if you believe mandates attached with criminal code penalities without legal criminal code are unconstitutional but you agree with the idea at the moment you are normal, but If you stand against it in principal and practice, you don't care about other people and blindly follow Trump. CDC and other health officials have admitted they lied and fudged numbers, yet science and their stats are irrefutable. If you debate anything, you hate whatever the opposite is.... Have I missed something?
  8. I've got the SR2 Baton II, HR2, and a PL-mini 2 (on my G19) and love them all. Even got the wall mounted charging stand. Great stuff and Willis is a great guy to deal with.
  9. One post from Boston Mass on a state gun forum and this is the thread? Interesting.

    TICS Denied

    Typically, the inital TICS check flags anything that might be suspect, like two names, one with a felony and issue a denial. Usually, in these cases, the appeal will actual verify you using the social, address, etc and get overturned. If you consistently get denied you will have to submit your fingerprints to keep on file and they will them give you a number that you will enter on all future TICS forms to clear the issue. It's debated, but I've have seen denials based on DUI's. It's murky but does happen, although it's inconsistent. Best thing, is to see how the appeal goes and then you'll have a better idea.
  11. The standard for this and virtually all current shooting principles is rooted in the Sykes/Fairbain study/book "Shooting to Live with One Hand Gun". Their study still holds water even if semi auto techniques have changed some of the application. Second I would use the FBI study of the 1986 Miami-Dade shooting. Plenty of info there. Here is a current assessment and some facts pulled to explain the move back to the 9mm. https://sofrep.com/gear/the-reasons-why-fbi-went-to-back-to-9mm/ Yet another http://gundata.org/images/fbi-handgun-ballistics.pdf None of them will give a simple outright answer, but it's all there if you look j through it.
  12. You're right except for the fact they did rewrite the Civil rights Act in blatant unconstitutional form ... unless that is the kind of action you referred to in paragraph 3.
  13. Everything about Roberts is now clear after the SC rewrote the Civil Rights Act without legislation, over-site, or legality. Same as they did with Obama-Care. The Executive (ironically not somuch Trump) and Judicial branches are moving without checks. It may be better that they ignored the 2a cases at the moment. Even Gorsuch's own words contradicted and confused themselves in an attempt to make an illegal ruling seem appropriate. Yes, ignoring the 2a cases is probable a good thing at the moment.
  14. Pricing an AK is easy. Gun-broker/Armslist or check the classifieds on the AK Forum or the AK Files, but you'll need to check the sold ads. Yes, people ask a lot more for things they think they can, Childer's receivers included. What they sell for is a different matter. Don't mean much on a personal build. As to your response to Magiccarpetrides, a new dude with 15post would be better off to receive info or PM a trusted source than posting an obvious forum tactic of newbies to sell stuff without a proper add. Magic has been around awhile and knows pricing and sales far better than you could imagine. As well as how to be part of a forum community.
  15. Prosecute the thief's. We have a real problem in my area and it's generally the same small group that are arrested and turned back out in the judicial process. There are three teens that have stolen and wrecked over 5 vehicles in this small area in the last 6-7 months and have never seen jail time. Not to mention the dozens of property thefts from cars. Confirmed from the officers patrolling. They're known, roam openly and freely, on numerous security cams, and nothing. This is the real problem.
  16. I personally use TruGlo TFO/TFX on all my pistols. Night sights are great especially in the green/yellow combo and the FO works especially well in day light or low light (indoor). I'm also intrigued with the Ameriglo Combative Application sights for quick combat type shooting.
  17. If you go the pistol caliber route I'd highly recommend the Stern Defense adapter. I've had the 9mm for awhile now and it is awesome.
  18. I've had and worked on them all. I currently have, among many others, a Riley and a PSA (forged version). I mainly got them just to see how they stacked up. They are very much quality AK's. The irony on American made is that US makers tend to make parts TOO precise. When you tighten up an AK you loose the beauty of AK reliableness and start having problems. It's one of the reasons the Kalashnikov got away from milled receivers almost instantly and went back to folded. It's just recent that US makers have started figuring this out and loosening the tolerances. A great AK has loose tolerances, forged gas/FS/Trunions/BC/barrel, straight mounting of parts, folded receiver, and a good paint job. Quality AK! BTW - most any thing that isn't straight .... just get a dead blow hammer.
  19. Some of my current guitars. The Tele and Strat are parts casters I put together with my specs. Mainly '59 type necks Changed everything on this one as well. Mad Hatter Terminator wiring (coil split), SD PG bridge/JB Neck, Gotoh Locking tuners, Tusq Nut Only one that stayed factory, well ... locking tuners.
  20. Ah, "mental illness" the new catch all so that everyone can be a victim of a disease. Problem is that "mental illness" in clinical standards is very finely defined. Once they start changing the definition there are no boundaries. Once you label it; you can tax it, medicate it, arrest it, jail it, and most importantly control it with the government.
  21. Yeah, I sent an email as well as called and canceled my Simplisafe services. I'm not a big boycotter but this is getting stupid. The quicker they feel the impact, the quicker this stupid, knee jerk, reactionary, idiocy, will cease. I don't care what they believe, but using their company to punish me for what I believe is just bad business.
  22. Bellshire had Anderson's for a decent price as of today. Don't remember the price but I remember thinking it was about what they should cost after shipping and transfer
  23. This is in fact true. The billet trunions are marked with a star stamp on the left side. I picked up a "blem" today for $499 shipped. Hard to beat at that price. Good thing is that if something goes wrong PSA has a lifetime warranty on their guns.
  24. I've got four on the shelf right now. I can't see them getting any cheaper and they can only go up.
  25. Ruger LCR it's what your are looking for by your requirements. Caliber is up to you.
