smoky mtn concealment makes a lot of canik stuff, but I don't think they offer one with active retention.

I am a big fan of the Holosun 510C, open reflex style sight window and excellent batter life. Can be had for around $250-$275 if you shop around.

what was your setup 20 years ago?

I've got a PA 1-6 ACSS that I got on a Black Friday sale a couple years ago. For the money it has been a champ, I typically shoot my shorter guns more so don't get to pull it out much, but have always been impressed with the clarity. I haven't read many bad reviews of the PA ones. Might want to take a look at the swampfox offerings as well.

I love that the two options up for consideration here are either an ultra concealable "single" stack 9mm or an MP5K in a shoulder rig.

Just got done looking through the pictures, this match looks amazing! I'm sure getting all that setup is a ton of work so kudos to you and your crew.

I recall their .22LR prices during the last ammo shortage were laughable, have not been on their site since.

I don't know about the concept of using bluetooth to unlock a safe I wanted rapid access to, if I am thinking about this right I would have to unlock my phone, open an app, and hit unlock before I could access the contents of the safe? Seems like a lot of potential pitfalls there and more interfaces than a simple 4 button lock. I have a sentry fingerprint model that has been a stud for a while now, has a 4 button backup should the reader fail for some reason.

299 i think and rumor was they only had about 50

if your max distance is 200 yards I would look into something cheaper to shoot than 30-06. I know .223 is hard to find, but even at today's crazy prices it is still way cheaper in the long run. I know precision rimfire is a worm hole on the cost side, but could be fun alternative if you're not looking for stopping power at 100-200 yards obviously.

what is the intended use? I hear FIL and I immediately jump to a traditional style knife (think buck 110) but see Benchmade and that is typically a more "modern" look

There are a handful of companies who are putting Hesco L210 Special Threat rated plate sets out regularly and they are in stock. Trex arms and Kota tactical are 2 that I know of off hand. The special threat level plates seem to be a good balance of basic rifle round stopping power without the weight/cost of going with a full rifle plate designed to stop 30-06 and other "high powered" rounds

I would get a set of fixed Daniel Defense sights and call it a day. I wouldn't be too concerned with folding since you aren't putting an optic on the rifle as well.

I kick myself regularly for not picking up a couple hundred PMAGs back when you could get a 100 case for $8/ea. I would simply setup a table at a gun show with a hand written sign "30rd PMAGS - $12 Each" and would leave with a 50% return after selling them all in 30 minutes

where did you get the 507K?

They have bolt action rifle listed in the "assualt rifle" page. Website seems pretty sketchy to me, I would at the very least use one of the online generated one time use CC numbers and be willing to accept that I would never see that money again. I would rather give my business to a reputable dealer than risk it with this setup.

Ive recently become a big fan of the olight offerings. The little i3 version is my go to pajama light, I used to use a streamlight microstream USB, but the lower low setting was really nice for me. I EDC either of the two Baton sizes, just depends what I am feeling that day. That being said I have an M2R Warrior Pro headed my way soon.

Sage Dynamics posted their 507K review. Looks like it stood up to his tests the same as the 507C. Looks like a winner to me.

if the K versions have the same durability as the C/T variants they will be a hit for sure. I was bummed when I got the notification my pre order was delayed again.

Now that I reread that I can see that could be the interpretation! I ordered it weeks ago and it just came today.

well hot damn, I just got my order at the mailbox for the Desert Tan and purple S2R Baton IIs I ordered from them this morning. Let me look into some of their tailswitch models and I may be reaching out.

if you can be patient and happen to get items in stock I think you can put together a pretty nice build for $700-800. You can save yourself a lot by picking up a lot of the parts used, but the secondary market lately has been pretty crazy with more people looking to buy than people looking to sell.

Basspro has been getting Herters 9MM in 500Rd boxes for around $0.18 CPR shipped. Usually in and out of stock in less than 10 minutes so you have to be quick!

to get the lightest possible you are likely going to have to build your own and combine all the "minimalist/lightweight" offerings from different companies for everything.

those are the go to suburban dispatch rounds. I have a couple boxes of the CCI Quiets and the Aguila's are much quieter although haven't had any issues with the effectiveness of either.
