IMHO,
Large windows on pistol optics are over rated. The shooter should not look through the optic. But focus on the target. Let the eye and brain do its job and reconstruct all the visual data points into one picture.
As I’ve indicated. You can even tape off the front of the optic and still...
How about the Glock’s horrible grip angle? I had the recontour the glock’s grip to somewhat resemble the grip angle of a 1911. But it’s still not perfect. So I ditched the Glock as a host for a slide mounted red dot.
I have a slide mounted rmr on a 1911 and never had an issue of losing the...
I’ve been experimenting with RMR/Glocks for a long time and for some reason , iron sights are faster.
But…………….
I was completely wrong in terms of using the system. Yes, it’s a system. If you can come up with a good pistol / red dot combo and proper training, the red dot equipped pistol may...
Not rifles, but excellent HD long guns:
Consider the following semi- auto shotguns.
Benelli M4
Beretta 1301
Beretta A300 tactical
These are easy to use , light recoil, reliable, accurate and extremely effective. The magazine cut off feature allows the user to switch out loads. ( buckshots to...
I think the owner of that rifle used it for competition. They’re not as fast on the reload as ARs.
Bullpups are not optimized for timed sporting activities.
I prefer the bullpup platform.
They are SBR short, without the need for tax stamps.
A bullpup in 5.56 -loaded with varmint rounds is an excellent short range weapon. It will limit overpenetration as the 5.56/.223 in a 16” or longer barrel will fragment and lose energy quickly. That also...
I like the older HK stuff.
I still carry the USP45 on a regular basis. Sometimes the tactical or the USP compacts when the weather or cover garments allow it.
I do not like the newer offerings. Not a fan of the finger groves and Batman style texturing.
The USP is an awesome pistol. But a...
I have glued on a rubber doorstop onto a kydex IWB holster. It works. Especially when carrying appendix position and sitting down. The wedge pushes the entire setup towards my belly and prevents printing.
The wedge also prevents the threaded barrel from digging into my thigh.
The Dpt trigger also made a huge difference in terms of accuracy.
In terms of the weapon itself.
This platform was designed with slide mounted optics in mind. The ergonomics of the weapon , the optic the grip angle work together to index the reticle instantly to your eye.
There is no...
I don’t have a lot of rounds on this set up yet.
Once I get 1K rounds down range. I’ll do a more comprehensive review.
For now , I think this platform is one of the better offerings from a reputable company that’s not a Glock.
But I have to warn you. Once you feel the trigger , you will end...
What’s in the box?
The pistol extra back straps
3 each , 18 round mags
Empty chamber flag
Useless gunlock
Mag loader
Extra recoil spring ( suppressed)
Instructions and propaganda material
Nice molded case
As for optics.
I decided to go with the holosun scs/ pdp specific sight.
Mounts directly to the slide. No adapters needed. Fits like the slide was milled specifically for this optic with no gaps.
The optic also sits low enough to 1/3 lowe co witness with the Glock like factory plastic...
Holster hunt.
New gun, another set of holsters. Lol
Funds are tough nowadays. I did my research first before getting a holster.
I ended up with an Adams Tactical Solutions kydex IWB holster that was custom made for the weapon/ light combo.
I have also opted for the stream light TLR-7A to...
