    Offhand shooting practice

    Thanks all for the feedback. Other than having fun, my personal focus is work and meat hunting purposes. I’ve kept my work AR one click off from fully collapsed for years since I suck at room clearing with a rifle and want as short as possible. The group picture was shot that way. I still...

    Optics on handguns

    Absolutely a RDS makes one better at mid to long range shooting. Unfortunately that’s not where defensive use usually occurs with a handgun. After thousands of dry and live fire reps over several years, my previous issued Glock .40 is still faster / more accurate for up close point shooting...

    Bad News for Deer Hunters: CWD in 2 Men

    From the article: “And ongoing studies do not show an increase in rates of CJD in hunters in Colorado. "Results so far have been reassuring," he said. "The number of cases of CJD or other prion disease in this hunting population has not been higher than what we would expect in the general...

    Bad News for Deer Hunters: CWD in 2 Men

    I live where CWD mulies are a possibility. We kill healthy looking deer and I’ve never seen one that appeared sick with the disease based on their behavior. Could it infect myself or my family, yes it’s a remote possibility. Same can be said of beef, and the sheer number of animals thrown...

    To red dot or not to red dot...

    I’ve tried both standing in light area and aiming at dark ones / standing in darker area and aiming into daylight. Both work fine with the RMR. What’s the alternative anyhow, messing with very tiny adjustments on a small optic during an “incident”? RDS isn’t working, better revert to both...

    Optics on handguns

    I get the comparisons between rifle and pistol optics, but it’s genuinely not the same thing. The AR gives a cheek weld while drawing a pistol from the holster causes genuine issues that require A LOT of reps to mitigate.

    To red dot or not to red dot...

    I was forced into the RDS thing several years ago when my agency adopted them (along with stepping back from .40 to 9mm). They can be nice but have a big training curve, particularly in acquiring the dot on the draw, even if you’re damn proficient at practical handgun fighting. Sounds like you...

    Beyond "a Gun for Protection"

    Very few shooters in southern Louisiana don’t get arrested? That seems odd unless “arrested” includes being detained in cuffs until LE figures out what is going on.

    Optics on handguns

    This has been exactly my experience with optics on defensive handguns. I wasn’t given the choice and following a two day training, got issued the RMR equipped Glock. It is a big improvement on distance accuracy, no question. Immediately 25 yard headshots became very doable and repeatable...

    Offhand shooting practice

    Thanks for all the responses, honestly I wasn’t happy with that group but guess it isn’t too bad. The Geissele two stage trigger definitely helps, I would be all over the place with a mil-spec one.

    My Carry Routine

    Thanks for posting one of the most PC and irrelevant things I’ve read here in a while (and that says a lot). In addition to your tactical writing instrument and reinforced phone, does a rape whistle get a spot as well? How’s your fitness level, training, and exposure to pepper spray...

    Offhand shooting practice

    Did a few standing unsupported strings at 100y with my AR today with the LPVO set around 3X. Very humbling and the below is my best “group”. Whether for hunting or training, get your gun off the bench and work on practical skills!

    Rmr 75gr bthp over rl15

    Not the exact bullet, but Rel 15 has proven unexpectedly accurate with my chrome lined AR 16” barrel. Groups are 50 yards (sighting in the low power scope for a 50/200 zero). While 23.5 grains has proved safe for me, be aware that going up towards max has shown pressure signs in hot weather...

    Pistol light out past the muzzle?

    Just past the muzzle is a good thing on a defense pistol, helps keep your gun in battery if a contact shot is needed.

    Wouldn't fit in my lap

    Nice rifle! A little Leupold 1.5-4X20 is a good fit on my old Marlin .35 Rem. I really appreciate a good LPVO on my AR but it’s hard to beat a lightweight 1” tube on a lever gun.

    .22 revolver?

    No pictures unfortunately but my Ruger single 6 (4 5/8”) has been a fantastic shooter over the years. Thousands of rounds with no issue and damn accurate in my hands. I’ve handled a Wrangler and it’s fine but not a Single Six.

    Beloved 30-06 Anyone?

    Sako A7 has accounted for 10 head of game from pronghorn to elk. 50-320 yards it’s never let me down with 180 grain Accubond handloads. Put a lightweight Swarovski on it last year and love it more than ever.

    ATF Raid on Airport Exec in Ark, update

    This type of warrant service is not how real day to day local law enforcement does business. Unfortunately the pencil pushing Feds seldom get to “play cop” and seemingly too often overact and use piss poor and overly aggressive tactics.

    New toy Rossi R95

    Very cool! The idea of a reflex sight mounted low like that is excellent for a lever gun like that. If you end up using it a lot, consider picking up a used RMR over the clone. That sight has proven remarkably tough in my experience and the auto adjust brightness is super practical.
