    Sidearms & Scatterguns Crossbreed holster squeaks

    Re: Crossbreed holster squeaks I've used a Supertuck for 3-4 months now carrying a S&W M&P Shield. It squeaked for a day or two until I gave it a good application of Obenauf's leather preservative. Since then it's been silent and comfy.

    Remember to buckle up!

    Re: Remember to buckle up! Wearing a seatbelt is an absolute given for my family and I, no question. The thing that get's me, is seeing a motorcyclist buzzing down the road not wearing a helmet. <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">WTF?!?!?</span></span>...

    DIP 25 MOA Rail question

    Re: DIP 25 MOA Rail question Are you measuring the base taper with it mounted on the gun? I don't trust the depth (beam end) of calipers to measure anything closer than .01" tolerance. If so, are you taking into account any difference in the barrel and action diameters? With the front of the...

    DIP 25 MOA Rail question

    Re: DIP 25 MOA Rail question Every manufacturer sets their own tolerances on machined parts. DIP may have sent one out the door with less than advertised MOA. I wouldn't sweat it honestly. Do you need a true 25 MOA base or can you get by with a 21-ish MOA? My opinion, just mount it and rock...

    Re: DIP 25 MOA Rail question Stop and think for minute. Approx. .03" worth of taper over 5 inches of base right? That's roughly .006" taper/inch (.03" / 5" = .006) .072" taper/foot (.006" x 12"=.072).... 300 feet in 100 yards right? .072 x 300 = 21.6 21.6" @ 100 yds! Pretty fuckin close...

    .17 HMR Tracer Ammo

    Re: .17 HMR Tracer Ammo Nobody makes tracer bullets for the HMR and probably won't anytime soon. I don't think there's enough market for them in this loading. If you want tracers, look to other calibers to fill your desire.
