    what do you think of AK?

    Having owned a couple over the years, here’s my $0.02: 1. Accurate enough for what they are intended for which is to consistently hit man sized targets out to 300 yards/meters. With decent brass cases ammo 2 MOA isn’t unreasonable and the better steel cases brands still shoot 3-4 MOA out of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig p320 lawsuit

    I have had and seen similar incidents with Safariland SLS and ALS holsters. Still wouldn’t carry in a SERPA due to the poor quality plastic used in their construction and the poor design of the cant feature leading to suboptimal placement unless you carry with a straight cant.

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    The issue with that is the insurance company is going to nickel and dime all that to death in any way they can and Arken will be lucky if they even manage to break if it’s a short term issue resolved in a few weeks. Anything past that can be a killer to a small business without the money in a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 9MM Wins - Thanks FBI

    The military has been going back and forth between .36/.38/9mm and .44 and .45 caliber handguns for 170 years. As much as people want to cite the "effectiveness" of the .44 and .45 caliber handguns and cartridges and the "ineffectiveness" of .36/.38/9mm, I can find just as many first hand...

    Two stage trigger decision

    Better triggers for most people in field conditions. A two stage trigger with a three or four pound pull allows the shooter to have a trigger heavy enough to make snapshots without having a trigger so light overall that the shooter accidentally pulls it before he means to and it allows a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns m&p pro trigger question. gritty?

    Funny, I've been carrying a M&P on and off duty for six years with only a couple of issues. As far as departments going to M&P's and then ditching them, the only one's I've heard of are the one's trying to make up for poor training and/or officer incompetence by buying new gear. All these...
