    How do you carry your BUG?

    P3AT in a mercharness, situated for non-dominant hand draw. Great for driving, gives options during a struggle over my primary.

    9mm Carbine?

    BC, I have a Sub-2K in the S&W mag configuration, as well as one in the Glock configuration. They've both run well for me, with my only complaint being the front sight being such a pain to adjust. I'm in south central WI. If we can arrange to meet up, you're more then welcome to try the Smith...

    Stephen King's taken some flack before, but...

    Ran across a video that made me remember this thread. Seems Mr. King doesn't hold our enlisted troops in very high esteem. http://www.breitbart.tv/html/90023.html

    Ex-Air Marshall:Air Marshall Training a National Disgrace

    I haven't seen such a belief put forth. However... I perfom fine motor tasks under significant stress routimely as part of my job, often after having to physically exert myself. A solid level of underlying physical fitness is a huge asset in being able to do so. If a person wants to be...

    Stephen King's taken some flack before, but...

    King lost me with the "cop killer dum-dum fragger bullets" the "Gun Nut NRA member" neighbor kept his guns loaded with in 'The Cell'. If you don't think King's an anti, read the passage in that book where the protagonist raids the gun nut's home for weapons and get back to me.

    I couldn't make this stuff up...

    I read a Dean Koontz novel involving monkeys with genetically enhanced intelligence and an extremely bad mean streak several years ago. One of the protagonists was carrying a Mossburg 500. My 12 guage has been referred to as the monkey gun ever since.

    Checking into a mental facility

    In one of my jobs, I adjudicate Social Security disability and medicaid claims. How is it that you think a voluntary admit to a psych facility wil get you benefits? Simply buffing a claim, or is there a state specific aspect to your situation that I'm missing?

    Buying first AR- Get the M-4 type or the M-16 type?

    You can actually manage to swap out buttstocks without ending up with a frankengun, as hard as that might be to believe. People tend to swing from one extreme to another. The extreme of frankenguns is buying each spring, detent, etc seperately and as cheaply as possible, leading to the...

    Buying first AR- Get the M-4 type or the M-16 type?

    It's an AR, the Lego® of the rifle world. You can configure your Stag any way you want to.

    Buying first AR- Get the M-4 type or the M-16 type?

    A lot of (most?) carbine instructors are teaching a squared up stance for carbine shooting instead of the more traditional bladed stance. Lends itself to more effective firing on the move, makes for nice transitions, offers the full face of any body armor to the threat area instead of the less...

    Cup and Saucer

    Please note that in pic 2, the muzzle is in plane with the target and well controlled despite the brass making it obvious that the weapon was just fired. A decent thumbs forward two handed grip gives excellent recoil control allowing for extremely rapid follow up shots. Anyone shooting with a...

    30+1 ok with an AR?

    High End AR Advise Needed, Please.

    I'm a pretty serious training junkie, and started my carbine classes with a Rock River. Pretty early in though, I was exposed to Defensive Edge's SLR-15 rifles. The SLR design was based on the features that actually worked for shooters. It uses a flat top upper to allow for optics as the...

    Street price of Defensive Edge SLR15

    I'm in Madison, but we have members of the DE crew in the Milwaukee area and I'm only ~ 90 minutes from there. I imagine we can set up a shoot at RCLR, very near Milwaukee. Just let me know when, and we'll make it happen.

    Mini 14 Wolf ammo issues?

    I wish I had a good answer for that. If I knew even 5 years ago what .223 prices were going to do...
