Refleks

Biggest difference between defensive use and all other uses is the potential to have to shoot from compression / retention / pectoral index. Before proceeding further, consider dumping a magazine from such a position and use that to help guide your decision making process. I would recommend safety glasses over safety squints.

Is this Gen 1 or Gen 2?

Temp work assignment in Washington State, they honor Utah but not TN

Are there any classes available in Tennessee that meet Utah's BCI certified familiarization course requirements for non-resident permits?

In search of an SKS Timbersmith stock, specifically the black conventional (not thumbhole) version, right handed. If anyone has one gathering dust and would like a good home

Years and years ago, I had an XD sub compact and was considering a G26 because of how the shorter grip length concealed for me. So I rented a G26. I felt the XD pointed more naturally, and felt better in the hand. With slow fire I was equally accurate with both, so it seemed like the XD was a no brainer, but importantly, as I started picking up the pace and shooting faster I found that I shot significantly better with the G26. My guess was that because the Glocks point slightly high for me, it was easier to keep track of the front sight throughout the recoil sequence and since I never "lost" the front sight it was quicker for me to get back to the correct sight picture to break the next shot with the Glock. This may be a non-issue to others, your mileage may vary, but that was the dawning for me that how a gun "feels" in the hand doesn't matter as much as how well you shoot it and there's no substitute for renting and trying different ones. It felt like I was choking out spongebob with the Glock, but I couldn't argue with the results, and swapped to the G26. I still have Glocks but since then I've switched to a P365 for daily carry

Thanks for the replies everyone! Sold pending meet

Great work. Shades of Sr Airman Andy Brown and the Fairchild AFB Shooting

Has anyone used an LPVO on a milsurp like an Enfield, or would the eye relief not generally be sufficient for the recoil?

10mm hard cast from underwood will impressively penetrate greater than 64" in 10% ballistics gel, over 5 feet! Should be a viable choice for protection from wildlife anywhere in North America. As an interesting aside, 9mm hard cast also exceeds 64" penetration (plus the benefits of follow up shot split times and capacity)

All the humidity, wish we at least had a beach to go with it!

Was down there for recovery operations Tuesday with our fire dept, it was amazing to see how many people came to donate and help.

Mine used to be a bag full of outdoor woods stuff, but it's mostly just transitioned to a bag capable of living out of for an unexpected trip (non outdoor oriented) for a few days. It does have a few items still but they're mostly relegated to a small pouch. I do still have a different daypack for hiking in case of an unexpected overnighter on the trail but it's a different focus. I would say take a hard look at ultralight hikers, check out their forums and groups on FB and see if there's anything useful you might be able to incorporate into your own planning. These people crush miles... for fun. My pack isn't ultralight, but by incorporating some of the lessons learned I've been able to lighten the essentials enough that I can bring other things I want (such as firearm, solar panels, etc) and still be light enough to enjoy the trip - or if it's serious, at least not gas myself hiking a few miles.
