    EDC Backpack Options

    I appreciate this, and you’re right, it might be asking for too much out of one bag, but that’s why I did ask. What if I can’t “get home”? Then I want the bag to at least partially fill that role. The bag would be mostly daily carry, back up firearm, spare mags, first aid, flashlight, knife...

    EDC Backpack Options

    Why do you say they suck? Having the organizational aspects with molle, hook and loop, elastic binders, and velcro backing for a separate back up gun make those bags more efficient and easier to access emergency gear. My current edc bag has been great, but it screams tactical and so now want...

    EDC Backpack Options

    I‘m familiar with the Osprey. But it lacks the dedicated concealed compartment with rigid velcro backing to secure my back up. The LV18 has no 5.11 logo, it is very non-tactical in appearance.

    EDC Backpack Options

    Maybe I wasn’t clear in my OP. Yes, I’ll be carrying, AND will have a back up in my bag. The whole point of finding the right bag for my purposes is so that I don’t have to have two bags. I don’t want to have to “get to“ my SHTF bag. So the bag I’m looking for needs flexibility if possible...

    EDC Backpack Options

    Been narrowing choices on backpacks that could serve as both EDC and emergency scenarios. After research, currently leaning toward Vertx Gamut 2.0, and 5.11 Lv18. I carry daily, but pack will have a separate back up gun. Bag needs to have tactical functionality while looking unassuming. Bag...

    DPMS Panther Arms - Anyone familiar?

    Honestly, after reading everyone’s feedback, I’m more confused now than before I posted. Being unfamiliar with DPMS, I’ll probably just pick up another pre-assembled lower, bcg, upper, etc., and put together myself. I do appreciate the insight and feedback. Most interesting.

    DPMS Panther Arms - Anyone familiar?

    The ad I was sent was for a DPMS Oracle, and until then, I had never crossed paths with them. Appreciate the insight on Trinity. Based on the consensus so far on the advertised AR that I should look elsewhere.

    DPMS Panther Arms - Anyone familiar?

    Actually not new, I’ve just never come across them before. Got an ad from a subscription I have and it’s the first I’ve seen from them. And I meant don’t have time for stripped lower/upper..., build right now. So picking up another at the price advertised I at least thought I’d take a look...

    DPMS Panther Arms - Anyone familiar?

    I’m looking for insight on the DPMS Panther Arms AR style with Trinity Force upgrades/parts. This is a completed rifle. I don’t have time for a build right now. Does anyone have any experience with this brand/company? Any insight or help is appreciated.

    SCCY CPX 2 - Anyone have this?

    Thank you to everyone who responded. SCCY is offering a $25 mail-in rebate right now, so that gun can actually be had for $125, which is insane. But the bulk of comments tells me that wouldn’t be a good purchase. What’s the point of owning if it just doesn’t perform - thanks again.

    Thanks, I own this model already.

    Sheesh, comments are ranging all over. But thank you for the input.

    SCCY CPX 2 - Anyone have this?

    Hmm, that’s good to know. I have reliable guns in my line up, but thought would it hurt to through an extra in the truck or go bag..., but maybe not.

    SCCY CPX 2 - Anyone have this?

    Good to know - thank you.

    SCCY CPX 2 - Anyone have this?

    Does anyone have the Sccy CPX 2 that can comment on it? They are available for $149 right now, so thought “what the heck,” but not if they are junk. This would not be a primary use gun, just another to add to collection.

    Anyone familiar w/DPMS with Trinity Upgrades

    I keep getting ads touting the Panther Arms DPMS with a variety of Trinity upgrades or should I say parts. Does anyone have any familiarity with the three models they are touting, and if so what is your take? Looking for a pre-built for now as I do t have time to build from scratch.

    AR Builds -- What Parts Did You Choose and Why??

    Thank you for that. Gives me something to consider.

    AR Builds -- What Parts Did You Choose and Why??

    May I ask what your total was for everything you put into your rifle? Also, do you believe the same shootability could be obtained with a slightly lighter barrel and brace?
