    Need help with a bet regarding Fed Air Marshals, do they train SA in holster draws?

    So I have been having a dispute with a buddy of mine and can't find the answer online, was hoping maybe one Hide member might have an idea if this info exists out there. The question is: Do Federal Air Marshals train to draw their weapon, DA/SA P229 357Sig, in SA from holster? Not exclusively...

    Night Vision Photonis Echo vs OMNI 7/8

    A 1.0 EBI on a Photonis tube would be more like a 10 EBI on a gen 3 tube. Lower the EBI the better it can differentiate the darker things. There are lots of good videos comparing the 2.

    Night Vision NOX-18 Review

    I believe the reticle on the nox would need to be sighted and used. The scope would turn into a magnifier.

    Night Vision NOX-18 Review

    Seems to be clear up to 3.5x but too bad the POA shifts with and without the nox-18 in front. Maybe I can still use the digital cross hairs on the thermal. Will try and report back tomorrow.

    Anyone found a small DVR to record videos from the NOX-18 yet?

    Night Vision NOX-18 Review

    How hard is it to twist the focus ring on yours? Mine seems to be very tight to where I think i'm unscrewing the unit open.

    “Precision” AR accuracy expectations?

    This is the advise I followed about a year ago when I started loading for precision and it has been spot on. As a recreational shooter that likes to shoot much more than reload, I do very little in the way of brass prep and checks and am happy with the results. Thank you for your guidance.

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    My gen 1 SH4 has parallax issues as well. Cant focus beyond ~150 yards. Would have been the best sub $400 scope ive ever used if not for that.

    “Precision” AR accuracy expectations?

    600 yards, 20 shots, same home made rifle with an 18" WOA barrel, same load I was testing. This time only the 1st shot went left 0.2 mils. Lots of experience in this thread. Does anyone know why a rifle might have a cold bore POI change sometimes 0, 1, 2, or even 3 shots? Would love to know and...

    “Precision” AR accuracy expectations?

    Must be a cold bore shift, the barrel was shooting good all day, and i had 10 rounds left out of 50 for the day, decided to dry fire a bit and noticed how much the crosshairs jumped when the hammer dropped. I found that by firmly gripping the stock with the left hand side to side, I minimized...

    “Precision” AR accuracy expectations?

    So what causes a gun to throw the cold bore shot, or the first 2 or 3 shots in a different direction? I have a home built AR15 that will do maybe 0.5 MOA when the cold bore shots are not included. Its annoying that i dont know if the gun/barrel will throw the first 1, 2, or 3, shots left...

    Night Vision Is there too high spec for a tube?

    Some of ya'll just collect/trade these like commodities. I'm still in the market for a clean pvs14 with good overall specs.
