    Any recommended wrist watch or similar gadget?

    Got a Suunto Core All Black. Love it. It's my daily wear. The functions are accurate. My biggest beef is that I go through a battery every 9ish months or so, and the storm watch function is annoying if you live in a hilly area. I replaced the stock rubber strap with a set of lugs and a nato band.

    Night Vision TSA & PVS14 - What are the rules ?

    Carry them on. Take the batteries out so that they don't get turned on and fried when some dumbass TSA twerp decides to finger bang it.

    TAB GEAR Larger Bag

    Based on the use of my 26oz., I would think the combination of a 26 and a 35 would be most beneficial. You can always shift the filler out of the way and make the bag smaller, but when you need that little extra, you can't make the bag bigger. I've taken to carrying a little Red Tac 1/2 Pint...

    New scope cap introduction

    I think a spacer system (think silencer mount shims) or a 2 part system with a set screw (think circular polarizer for camera lens that you could lock) would be better to index the cap.

    Big Hands/Big Feet.....Know What That Means????

    Had a pair of Redwings that fit the bill. Don't remember the model number though.

    Experience with Arcteryx Khard 30 or 45 Backpack?

    I've got a Khard 30 in whatever they're calling grey these days. It's good, it's my daily carry. I like the modular nature of it, but it can be a little ungainly trying to get just one specific thing out of the bag if you need to. It splays open pretty easily for quick access, which also means...

    Rifle Scopes Why No Elcans!!

    I have one. I haven't babied it. I haven't had any problems. I am a sample size of one, and I am very likely to believe I got lucky. I think in general they're marginal across the board, but I got it for a song and it's been functional and reliable. I would not pay real money prices for it, that...

    Night Vision Let's talk Peq15s

    But the substantial difference between your example and mine is that mine does not inherently have any effect on other people simply through its basic operation. That's the individual part of the individual liberty idea. YOU have the freedom to do what YOU want as long as it's not messing with...

    Night Vision Let's talk Peq15s

    The silly thing is that I have used far more powerful lasers than any of what's being discussed in here, and have the FDA paperwork to prove it. Yet being more qualified to safely utilize laser systems than even the guys that get issued this stuff, I am unable to purchase one from the...

    Night Vision Let's talk Peq15s

    The high-powered illumination IS a laser. It's a laser-based illuminator. Low is still higher than allowable by the FDA.

    Night Vision Let's talk Peq15s

    What's the NOHD of a .45? .308? A .338? A .50? Point is, the idea that something is too dangerous when dealing with a bunch of firearms owners is pretty silly. I'd pick up an IZLID if I could. For the same reason I'd pick up a ma deuce, shits and gigs. Neither of which are "useful" to me, but...

    Night Vision Laser Devices DBAL-PL class 1 IR pistol Laser

    Thanks for the clarification Vic. I hope the changes are the switching methodology. I'm so ready to pull the trigger on this it's nuts, and the only thing that would change my mind is the switching. I think this is sort of on the edge of either being the absolute best pistol light/laser on the...

    Night Vision Laser Devices DBAL-PL class 1 IR pistol Laser

    I really hope the purchase by Steiner has the happy coincidence of unfucking the switchology to something that's actually useful.

    Rifle Scopes Switched from Aimpoint to EOtech thanks to US Optics!

    Glad you've found something that works better for you but most of your conclusions are either wrong, or come from a poor understanding and/or implementation of the equipment. Hell, look at the Funker videos showing MEUSOC guys using Elcan's as an example.

    ear muff wraps

    Triad has some that are good stuff, a friend of mine owns a couple of the Triad ones. I personally own the OC Tactical ones, purchased before Triad started making them.

    Night Vision Elcan Specter DR night visions question??

    A clip-on like a PVS-24 or CO-X are different beasts from monoculars like a PVS-14. While you can mount a PVS-14 behind a day optic, mounting it in front will have all sorts of issues when it comes to point-of-impact shift.

    SW AMMO UPDATE THREAD

    Called about a week ago to ask if they had a retail front as I'd be in Phoenix for a day and thought I'd swing by if I could and pick up some stuff. Jenna was very nice and had me call back when I was close so she could talk me in as they're a little bit around from where their address is...

    S LOCK, POD-LOC comparo and RotaPod

    You have to appreciate Terry Cross' ingenuity and recognition of the ability to use this hardware to make the Harris more functional, but he didn't invent the hardware, he simply figured out how to adapt it to fit his needs, in this case tensioning the cant adjustment on the back of the bipod...

    They're rebranded LDI lasers if that helps.
