      Adjustable BCG

      To be honest I’d prefer to have a civil conversation with Chad about this topic without nanny goats butting in and spinning everyone up. I tend to learn things when he posts, and would rather have civil discourse, but you do you I guess. I’m absolutely open to being corrected here, no need to...

      Chad, I’m a little confused here man? Are we talking about the same thing? I’ve literally used your services and am well aware of your background and expertise level. I don’t question your expertise in the field. Is the name change throwing you off? But we are talking about the bizarre...

      Adjustable BCG

      That’s certainly one perspective on it. I would say it depends on the suppressor (there are cans that specifically mitigate back pressure, and how much gas goes back through the barrel depends on how early the excess back pressure that does make it through the gas tube causes the system to...

      Concealing fixed blades with a W&C permit?

      It’s a good question. For me personally, anytime I subject a folder to really hard use where I’m moving around a lot, I seem to end up with stitches in my hand. Having not personally exsanguinated or disemboweled another human being with a knife, I can only assume I am going to similarly...

      OP, what kind of 11.5” pistol do you have? Did you build or buy? What kind of barrel is it? Is it 5.56? What kind of suppressor do you have? What specific issues are you having with your setup now?

      Adjustable BCG

      No you’re right, I should have specified that I was talking about bootleg (or the old gemtechs). I haven’t personally used the sharps, but adjustable gas keys (which the sharps appears to use) theoretically restrict gas at the key and push it out the front of the upper receiver. That’s kind of...

      To OP: Why are you suppressing your rifle? There are several reasons to do so: noise moderation (either to the user or to people nearby), signature reduction, and to look cool tend to be the typical reasons. If you’re only interested in the third, an adjustable carrier is fine. Adjustable...

      Experience with Suppressors?

      I actually don’t recommend anyone get a pistol can as a way of dipping their toes in the suppressor market. I think I have somewhere around 20 suppressors at this point, and only three of them are centerfire pistol cans. The Aurora II, which sometimes goes on a pistol when I’m hiking, I...

      Experience with Suppressors?

      I have a gemtech Aurora II. They come with some serious downsides, but there aren’t a ton of more compact options on the market. I think we are just a few years away from hearing safe suppressors that don’t require a Nielsen device for the gun to function. I know HUXWRX just put one out that...

      Recommend an AK-47 Pistol as an SBR Candidate

      Good to know. That’ll be way less terrible looking than what I suggested. Thanks for sharing.

      Recommend an AK-47 Pistol as an SBR Candidate

      For the ZPAP you would need to do something like this: https://stormwerkz.com/stock-adapters/yugo-m92-m85-adapter-type-1/ https://stormwerkz.com/stock-folding-mechanisms/stock-folding-mechanism-standard/...

      Data analysis of 1800 Shootings by Caliber

      As Biggfoot44 pointed out, this is a secondary analysis of the Eleflitz data. I think a lot of the questions being asked in this thread are discussed by the original author: http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/an-alternate-look-at-handgun-stopping-power He discusses why he thinks some of...

      I understand stressing the 4 Rules of Gun Safety

      Without a news article or police incident report, it is hard to know if this incident happened, but I’m willing to take OP at their word for the purpose of this discussion. My thoughts in no particular order: 1.) Firearms have the potential to be very dangerous, though responsible shooters...

      Pistol Red Dot Sight

      Good to know. I have in fact destroyed a good number of optics (mostly at work), but I know what happened to them. I tend to avoid optics when they first come out so that I can avoid getting surprise kills on them, if at all possible.

      Pistol Red Dot Sight

      I agree that a single datapoint isn’t a good reason to buy/not buy a product, but am interested to see if there are more reports like yours. Any indication it was a bad battery, or are you thinking your experience will be the norm? I like to give optics a good year or two on the market before I...
