Not sure how to “sight in” my glock

I guess what I’m looking for out of this is, has anyone else had iron sights on a custom Glock be off? How did you fix it? I don’t know of a place to get different height sights for glocks like 1911s and I really don’t want to use an adjustable sight or a red dot.

if it groups good (?) then it's as simple as drifting the back sight left or right, and getting a different height front sight (and possibly a diff height back sight depending on how much it's off). as mentioned above, hit dawsonprecision.com or call them and they'll let you know what you need in your situation. if it's not grouping good, then i'd fix that before messing with the sights (shooter error, crap ammo, bad or mismatched components).

I'm in the bigish city so I don't wear nice watches.

No need to draw attention as some folks - very few get robbed while wearing a $20-$40k Rolex.


Standing joke about spotting a banker - their left sleeve of their dress shirt has a bigger cuff. Drop your arm and hide your watch.

People who work in banks will throw their wallet and watch into the trash when the places get robbed.




I was given a shotgun for duck hunting in 8th grade with a condition I carried a knife daily.


I have traveled a fair amount of the world and kept a knife on me.

I also carry body armor panels in my backpack that is also my carryon bag.

I've had the bag searched at least 6 times
African, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America and they are curious about flashlights and other gear but never the "spine pads" I have in my bag.


Has anyone mentioned knife sharpening?

I have a few kits and just picked up a 1 x42 belt sander as I want to try something faster.

Also want to make the MDF wheel coated with carbide as well.

Laughs while setting the jig on the Tormek.

I agree that watches are a status symbol, but only for people who care, which is a small minority. The only one worth having, for me, and that’s recognized by non-watch people, is the Rolex GMT Master with the Pepsi Bezel. Growing up on James Bond movies it’s the only watch I ever wanted. They’re like $12k now just for a regular one.

Truth be told quartz watches keep better time, but they’re effected by the Earth’s magnetic field. Only mechanical watches are unaffected near the poles.

Dive computers are more conservative than tables, but you actually get more bottom time because they’re constantly recalculating and you are not penalized for travel time at the bottom time rate.

I used to do an advanced class on saturation rates, and the old Navy tables are considerably more conservative than the Padi or Naui tables. Yes, a few more minutes on a first dive, but look at the sit times! Navy tables are controlled by bone, and you drop letters very slowly. The dive agency tables are controlled by cartridge, and you drop letters fast, which makes sense for multiple, shallow resort diving (max what 140). You are much more likely to get bent off gassing from soft tissue than firmer tissue.
Again,
