    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS HD 1-6x24 Tactical Scope For 3 Gun?

    I think that your problem is that you are testing the scope out without mounting it to your rifle. I get that you don't want to mount it and then not be able to return it but you cannot properly evaluate a scope by holding it up and looking through it. Doesn't work that way. Mine is on an...

    JEC vs. ROSS muzzle brakes!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have two of Ross' brakes and am very happy with both the performance of the brake and the service I got from Ross. I forgot to ask him to relief cut the threads for my AR and I sent them back to him and he fixed my oversight and shipped them back for free. I had the brakes in my mailbox in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns question on grip stippling

    I sand it down with the Dremel until I get the contour that feels right to me, then stipple it.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns concealed carry holster for xds45

    I'm not a fan of either of those holsters, but that's just me. You might as well be wearing a fanny pack, IMO. I use Dale Fricke Holsters - Custom Kydex Holsters and Mag PouchesDale Fricke Holsters (Archangel AIWB for the M&P Shield and the Seraphim RMR AIWB for the fullsize M&P). Dale has...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Trijicon RMR?

    I have the RM02 and am very happy with it. I wouldn't (personally) want to go any smaller on the dot on a handgun. A buddy put a dual illuminated one on a rifle and I was very underwhelmed. WAY too bright in sunlight and then not bright enough in the dark, IMO. I also like the RM02 because it...

    Otte Gear vs Arc Teryx

    I've been in search of a new softshell as well and now may be a good time to check out WT as they are having a winter sale. Also, you specified that you are looking for MultiCam so if one of the WT Military/LE softshells doesn't quite have what you want there is also a "design your own" option...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns S&W M&P C.O.R.E which RMR is best?

    You can co-witness with the RMR... Also with the JPoint but I would not recommend that optic for use on anything other than a dedicated range gun. Smith & Wesson CORE with Trijicon RMR Review

    Sidearms & Scatterguns S&W M&P C.O.R.E which RMR is best?

    I would go for the RM02. You said mainly shooting steel so the RM07 would be OK but if you were thinking of carrying it simpler is better. With the RM02 it is always on and you just change the battery every year or 18 months. I for sure don't like the dual-illuminated version as it seems (to me)...

    Here is a list of holster makers that you may find helpful...Kydex Holster Makers I like Zero Concealment: Home. for OWB/range work for a bigger gun. I have one for my FS M&P w/X300 and really like it. For AIWB carry (my preferred method for concealment) I really like The Archangel...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns AIWB Holster Options for SIG

    FWIW Mjolnir23 I would look at some other holsters designed to carry AIWB. Not trying to dog your holster but it is made to carry strong side 3-4 o'clock with the amount of cant built into it. If you look at AIWB holsters they are made to have zero cant so the draw is straight up. Your hand can...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns AIWB Holster Options for SIG

    The Archangel Appendix Carry© - Dale Fricke HolstersDale Fricke Holsters Just get this and be done. It's a little spendy for a kydex holster but it's as good as it gets for AIWB carry. Plus Dale is a hell of a nice guy... If you want to do a bunch of research on holster makers here is a link...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns EDC Auto Knife

    I carry the Benchmade 5000BT and have never had it open in my pocket. It differs from the other Benchmade autos in that it uses the Axis lock system to deploy the blade instead of a push button. This way you can deploy the blade from either side with the familiar Axis lock. I like it mucho and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Need a Holster for S&W M&P 9mm 5" CORE AND 4.5" Standard M&P 9mm

    What are you planning on doing with it? Will it be for gun+light or gun only? If you are looking for a Safariland holster for the M&P CORE+WML you need to get the SLS only holster (6280, 6285, 6004, etc.) as the ALS system will interfere with the red dot sight. You will then need to modify the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns At a total loss trying to get a Safariland holster for my Sig 226

    The 6280 is SLS only and WILL NOT secure the gun without the light attached. The ALS and the ALS/SLS combo holsters will secure the gun with or without the light attached.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns need a holster for pistol self defense class

    In addition to the advice already given, I would recommend that you run the class with the holster/gun combo that you will be carrying CCW (if that is your plan). If that is not your plan, the class or range won't allow drawing from concealed or whatever, look at a good quality belt holster that...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 9mm carry gun

    I have to say that I actually like it. I also have the M&P Pro Series and I think the trigger in the Shield is better than the full size Pro. I had an Apex duty/carry kit in my wish list at Brownells for both the FS and the Shield but deleted the one for the Shield the other day. Still probably...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 9mm carry gun

    I have carried the G27, Kahr P9 and just recently switched to the M&P Shield (9mm). Out of the three I like the Shield the best. I did the Glock thing as a BUG/CCW and like Slapchop said the G22 mags would fit in the G27. I found myself not carrying a spare G22 mag anyway and the main detriment...
