I will include an IWB holster as well -
$900 $800 The biggest one they make. 6 inch barrel, double stack 10mm, 16 round capacity. This is in the Pro line, which is Rock Island’s custom shop, so gunsmith built, not factory assembled. Surprisingly easy to shoot, probably because it’s not exactly light, but it sure is fun. would also consider trades on a quality AR or AR upper

Looking for a TLR7 light

Looking for a Holosun 407c. The regular foot print, not the k. Solar panel or not, doesn’t matter to me.

So, not at all arguing. As with all of my points that more is better than less, gun is better than no gun, so if its a small gun that gets you to carry, then by all means, carry that. My experience comes from that of a Marine reconnaissance type unit where we occasionally had to ditch rifles, but needed to have a fighting pistol tucked away concealed, so I've sort of stuck with that mindset. I was a marksmanship instructor in the Marines and am a handgun instructor now, so these are my observations from that perspective. And of course everything comes with a concession. I too occasionally carry an all steel 1911. It only has 8 rounds in the mag, so I double up on magazines. A mag in the back pocket isn't heavy or bulky and gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. All things considered, the G48 is slightly narrower than the G19, but it only holds 10 rounds to the G19's 15. The Shield Plus holds 10 or 12 and is only marginally larger than the standard Shield that holds 7 or 8. So, carry as many bullets as you reasonably can. When I speak of grip I'm referring more to how much grip you can get on the gun, not necessarily the form factor. I can grip a small gun with a lot of texture better than a larger gun with minimal texture, so its all a balancing act. Often people want a tiny gun to conceal, but can't get a good handle on it, we see it all the time with women. Or people will go to a slim profile grip with the argument that their dominant hand can get a firmer grip on a smaller frame, but they leave no room for their support hand to help out. My only caution with the light is that the weapon lights are very intuitive, and often times unobtrusive. If you've never done any low light shooting training, its worth taking a class. Handheld lights are pretty awful to try and shoot with and almost always compromise your grip in some way (see above point). I'll concede on red dots, with the caveat, that astigmatism issues can often be trained out. No, the astigmatism doesn't go away, but reducing the dots brightness, using some of the circle dot options, and learning to target focus can mitigate some of the issues. Objectively, red dots are better as they are a more natural aiming method for your eyes and brain. Your eye can't focus on multiple planes at once, that's why you have to have a crisp front sight and blurry target and rear sight, your eye physically can't focus on all 3 at once. A red dot superimposes the dot on the target, so you just look at the target and you're good to go. In my experience (and this is not specific to you, its lots of folks I've worked with), people try a red dot once or twice and decide its not for them. So, you've got how many thousands of rounds and years of experience with iron sights and yet you just write off the red dot as inferior after 2 hours and a couple hundred rounds? (again, you as a general term, not You as in papa61). You basically have to totally retrain how you aim a pistol when you move to a dot. And from a size perspective, I'm 5'6 and 170 lbs, so I'm on the smaller side, and I manage to carry a full size pistol everywhere with no issues. Its all about holster, belt, and flowing garments. But, and partially because I'm smaller, a pocket pistol stands out in my jeans or jacket pocket.

My must haves these days are a fighting pistol. I don't carry pocket guns and I don't carry any thing sub-9mm. If I've got to draw my pistol then I'm already in a bad situation, so I don't want to limit myself with 6 or 7 rounds out of a gun I can marginally shoot. A fighting pistol for me is a full gripped pistol, 4 ish inch barrel, light, and red dot. Currently running a Staccato C2 with a Holosun 508T and a Surefire X300. I've carried smaller guns before, but generally have no use for them now and I often find them less comfortable to carry. It sounds counter intuitive, but when I pack around my wife's Hellcat, even in a good holster, the gun seems to flop about as I move around. Having a longer gun (particularly with the length of the light) really helps in planting a gun in place. More bullets is better than less bullets. More grip is better than less grip. More light/visual acuity is better than less or none. Red dots are better than iron sights. We carry pistols because we can't carry rifles, so why not carry the best pistol we can.

for-sale BG Defense TYPE A 13.7 Contractor AR-10 .308
Thursty replied to TangoDown's topic in Firearms Classifieds
It’s not that we can’t picture it, it’s that we see the picture and we see the price and and we get excited. That seems like a great deal. And that’s because it is, but then we see the accessories are not included. But again, it’s totally fine, but it’s generally accepted to include the price of everything shown. It just leaves you as a bad taste in your mouth, but that’s more of a marketing thing, that’s all I’m saying. Also, that’s a Razor and an RMR in a Badger Ordinance mount. I’d have more faith in my gear that it’s not going to lose zero. But you do your thing man. Good luck with the sale. It’s a sweet rifle as she sits. Just trying to offer some advice on how to get it moving. The more expensive it is the harder you've got to work to sell it. -

Thursty replied to TangoDown's topic in Firearms Classifieds
I dunno. I’m with @RED333 I saw the post and was excited as a potential buyer in the market for a 308 then I saw the accessories could be negotiated, so I got less excited. That, or it would be nice to also see the price as she sits. Or at least prices for the accessories. Just some friendly advice. I saw the post and was a buyer, then I got disappointed and lost interest. Seems a little deceptive, even if unintentional. -
