GLOCK Sight Comparison: Ameriglo vs. Meprolight vs. TruGlo TFO - The Truth About Guns Just some info on sight heights. Like what was said before, go to the Dawson page for sight height calcs. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/images/Instructions/FrontSightHeight.pdf The sights with FO tubes, Gun...

I visited their website, looks like they are fans of the drop-leg pistol holster set-up. The main/only advantage I see in a drop-leg is clearance when using a chest rig/body armor, otherwise it's just slower and many of the rigs bounce around. Ear-pro was mentioned before and a cheap version...

I took the SIG academy Patrol Rifle Instructor course (5 days) and max distance was maybe 75 yds but the qual was 50 yds and in so irons would have been fine. If your class is similar here is my advice: Red dots were common but I would rather use irons over a red dot unless shooting in low...

OP, Great job man, keep it up! Hope the hunt goes well for you. I don’t know more than the average person about nutrition but the extreme low cal diet seems off to me. I have been doing a Paleo challenge for a little over a week and am eating like crazy; veggies, lean protein, fruit, nuts...

7018, we called "Low Hydrogen" back in the day, was the standard for most any/all serious mild steel welding where a 70,000 psi tensile all position (what the "1" stand for in 7018) rod was needed. It also has pretty good abrasion qualities. Back in the day it was DC- only but today they make...

Your plates look good. Did I see some pin holes from the side view? Bend test is good for structural stuff next is radiography where nothing can hide! Good luck. 1976, vocational school, did my first 7018 bend test. Worked as a welder for 4 years then went in the Navy. 2 years structural...

Miker, I think I'm in for both days. Will it be possible to check zero/dope on Friday? Will most likely be camping again. Thanks, David

This is kind of what I was thinking. In any case, it might be the next spring match before I make it out your way again. I have a week long 3-gun match commitment in Sept and other local matches lined up for Oct/Nov. So to keep the wife happy I limiting myself to one more big match this year...

Miker, Thanks for putting on the match, it was a great learning experience. I had a great time with a great bunch of guys. Looking forward to the next one and hope to be better prepared. David, The new guy

Sounds like a plan. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one there "embracing the suck". David E.

Just checking to make sure the match is rain or shine? I'm driving 6hr to get there and plan to be there Friday just after noon. Still hoping to have a chance to check dope on Friday, I understand match setup and weather may limit time available? Thanks, David E.

Post some pictures of the fired primers and those that failed to fire. My guess is they installed reduced power striker spring and with harder primers they ignite inconsistently. The light striker spring reduces trigger pull. That's why may Glock guys running reduced power striker springs run...

I can't believe you made a human error! I am perfect and have never made a mistake of any kind!(sarc) You do have me (most of us I suspect) beat when it comes to recognizing we made a mistake and fixing it. BZ

I spent a few minutes with Rob at the range the other day and asked him about this. I have been watching the training videos here and it seems there are slightly different thoughts on this. After watching ROB shoot I'm going with "no muscle" influence. Now if I can load the bipod a little by...

I think back some time ago S&W used Laser etching for a few serial numbers on their guns until the ATF said no go. Seems the laser was not permanent enough as in it didn't change the structure of the base metal enough. I guess with stamping, even if it is ground off the, metal has a deep...
