    Your instructor is an idiot.

    I don't prefer RMRs on a ccw for a variety of reasons - court is definitely not a valid one. It is either a justified shoot or not - how you aimed your weapon is immaterial.

    Never heard of them but I had a short PSA 9mm upper and their mag block that worked well.
    Probably be right in your budge and cheap to shoot if you went with one of theirs in a lenght of your choice.

    CZ Scorpion would be another great choice with a pistol brace.

    Scorpions are sweet. I wanna do something with this lower i have sitting around though. I'm looking at an upper in 6.5 grendel, a couple 9mm uppers and a can cannon.

    I need to call about a couple of the 9mm uppers because i cant find a mag block specifically for them so i dont know which one id need.

    The karri's guns one looks promising but reviews are less than stellar. I cant find any newer than 2014 so idk if theyve improved or not though.

    Yea...a meth head stealing your lawnmower from an outbuilding is not imminent danger to yourself or others. You won't win with a stand your ground/castle doctrine defense. Enjoy your time in prison.

    Get cameras and insurance.

    Your instructor is spreading nothing but rumors by saying a RMR would be used against you in court. Also remember the people saying using a non-stock trigger or using reloads would be used against you too? I always tell those people to point me to an actual court case where any of those were used against someone.

    Other than a court case where those were more just thrown on after the fact and the guy was already in trouble for other things. Ive never seen a case in a "good shoot" that the gun was even brought up.

    I love the internet sometimes. I say im buying a light to put on a rifle and suddenly its been turned into i plan to shoot someone for breaking in my shed.

    Im still trying to read where i said anything about shooting someone breaking into my shed. Go ahead, keep bolding my own post and tell me where i said anything about that and NOT just about having something i could use outdoors in the event i needed to be outside for some reason.

    You have the right to investigate disturbances on your property. You have the right to be armed when you do such. You have the right to defend yourself against actions, or imminent actions, that will cause serious bodily harm or death.

    You do not have the right to shoot people who do not represent a threat of serious bodily harm over property (in most states).

    No castle doctrine = need to be able to articulate how the person was a deadly threat. Caste doctrine = the act of being in your home constitutes the threat.

    If you don't understand the difference between bringing the best possible tool for the potential deadly force encounter and strolling out the backdoor intending on ventilating whatever the source of the noise you find is, I don't know what to tell you.

    I realize now that I may have interpreted it differently than was intended. Given the context, my mind took the whole handgun is okay for house, rifle is needed for outside as needing something more accurate to take shots from a window or something if they ever came back. I apologise.

    Agreed, I took that as him recognizing where his current home defense plan may have some holes if the situation presented itself again and it escalated to a shooting situation. I'm sure most of us agree that we hope it never comes to that but if it does you better believe I would want the most effective and superior weapon possible, if you enter a shooting fight with it being "fair" then you failed to prepare.

    depends on the state you live in also...it also applies to your vehicle.

    exactly!Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

    Well one thing I need to do is under cut my glock, because this glock knuckle sucks.

    Should I do it myself ? Or have someone do it, then stipple ... what are your guys thoughts ?

    So I ripped apart my 300 BLK bolt gun and dropped a heavy barrel 20" threaded 308 action in it. Added an AAC brake and it's ready to hit the range. Bought the action at Dick's last week. Was in there looking at duck stuff and noticed what seemed to be an AAC-SD Remy in an ADL stock instead of a Hogue stock. Price was $499, not the $699 of the AAC-SD. So, now it sits in a B&C stock with detachable bottom metal and a 6-24x Vortex PST on top. My 300 BLK was always just a range toy and an early experiment to see if I could build a reliable bolt gun before they were available from AAC (Remington). It was crazy quiet but just not very useful. This rig will punch paper and deer and get a lot more use at the range and in the field. I'll snap some pics later.
