Understood. The gas tube running beneath the forearm makes a nice hand warmer.

That worried you?

Thank you. It works great. I'm ordering another one for my SBR soon. Danke. The AFG makes perfect sense on a carbine as it requires your support arm be at full extension to maximize the benefit of natural bio-mechanics. I've seen a few run on short barrels and wondered WTF the person was thinking as a regular vertical front grip makes better use of both your muscular-skeletal system and physics, and presents a smaller shooter profile... but to each their own.

Shoot it first and see. For me on two of my three M&Ps it made a huge improvement. My M&P40 was a freak of manufacturing and just has the most awesome trigger I've felt yet from an M&P out of the box. It must have been made on a Wednesday or something.

From all of the stories I've heard about those guys, and from the email the guy who owned the place sent me when he saw a negative review posted by a member here, they should have been driven out of business a long time ago. Some people have no business being in business and, based strictly on my personal opinion of him from what he said in that email, he's definitely one of them.

This.

Agree with Fallguy. Post the names of these instructors so that we all know who has no business teaching the HCP class.

Massive bonus points.

I'm thinking about rebuilding my latest stick with a billet lower and I've liked the C3 Defense stuff since they came to our Expo in 2009. Hit me with a PM if you don't want to post publicly for some reason.

I shoot rifles left-handed, so it's on the right side of the forearm as close to the rear of the forearm as I can get it.

Giggity. Actually, I plan to go shoot it tomorrow. I've got a full plate today.

I have edited the first post to add some photos and to also add an update of sorts.

Military Times Gear Scout I'm sure that he will be very successful in his future endeavors, and I'm likewise sure that Magpul Dynamics will continue to very successful.

Every day. M&P 40 in a TT Gunleather / Occidental Leather Stronghold Phoenix inside the waistband holster or a Raven Concealment Systems Phantom outside the waistband holster.

Holy crap.

Heh... I lived at the Overlook for a few months back in 1998. As soon as my lease expired, we bailed and bought a house in Rutherford Co. It wasn't so bad when we had two Metro officers living in the same bldg on opposite shifts from each other, as a squad car was always parked outside and must have acted as a good deterrent. As soon as one of them moved out, the thugs started in with the parties all night, every night, etc. Antioch should be nuked from orbit. Just make sure you're out before they do it.

THAT... is badness.

Panties. Out of your ass. Remove them.

Couldn't care less about this one. Sorry.

Very cool.

Hope all turns out well. Hate to hear about a beloved pet having troubles.

Did I say that? I don't believe I did. I'm not even sure how you made the jump to that conclusion. I guess being pelted by plastic BB's has made you a little jumpy. As for the .MIL and LEO use of airsoft, perhaps - but I bet they don't play capture the flag and I bet you don't need to practice squad maneuvers. Like I said, the realism you take from it will depend on the realism you put into it. I hope you guys have fun. It's just not my cup of tea for the aforementioned reasons, and I guess I missed the request that we not use this thread to share opinions. Carry on.

Someone will probably take offense to this, but I've avoided traditional airsoft because I have no desire to hammer bad habits into my subconscious. I quit playing army dress-up when I was a kid and the guns I carry these days have the real ability to hurt or get you hurt. Airsoft played for recreation tends to be more about reliving childhood "war stories" than being about teaching you anything worthwhile. Would it be fun? Sure. Could it be a great team building exercise or just good exercise in general? Sure. For me it's a personal decision. If I'm going to run around with a gun and shoot at things, I'd rather do USPSA, IDPA or take a defensive class. Most Softies probably spend as much on their gear as you'd spend on solid kit for a defensive carbine class anyway. Now, if someone wants to organize some force on force action where it's geared up toward teaching the individual how to clear their house at night, or how to use cover properly, etc. then that sounds worthwhile. Further, I bet the cost of kitting up for that would be a lot lower too. YMMV.

Defensive anything classes in inclement weather, FTW. And I'm going to guess most of the class used Glock 19's.
