What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

Awesome! How is the quality?

Haven't had one in my hands but just to look at those, i’m not particularly a fan of how they look

 

Quality looks great, to be honest I haven’t shot the gun yet but it’s a 2nd gen which has a lot of good reviews.

 

I was going to buy a Panzer bull pup also but a local gun shop had a Rock Island Armory bull pup in stock so I bought it.

 

Bootleg Benelli M4?

 

I picked up 500 rounds of 223 today.

 

Panzer bought rights to the pantent, which has finally expired. So it is a 99% clone of a Benelli M4, yes. But $550 instead of $2000.

So i’m sure it’ll feel cheap, but if it runs 75% as well as a real M4 for 1/4 the money, i’d probably be pleased.

 

It was supposed to say “my 10.5” shouldn’t be just a bare pistol”, I like your 10.5 and one day I might have a very similar copy

 

I made that one thinkin it’d just be a toy and then realized it was a few small parts away from being an incredible tool

 

The only “toy” I have is the 7.5” 556 upper, I’ve found I enjoy building my guns with a purpose and only a dash of “hey, that looks cool”.
I’m still not sure where I’m going to mount the TLR-1 on my pistol, I don’t necessarily care for them at the 6 o’clock position but it seems the best place to have it if I’m pulling out of a concealment bag.

 

Why not at the 12 o'clock? I only have one of my ar's that has a trl and it seems to work well at the 12 spot.

 

Same. 2020 was the transition of my mindset from having firearms for fun to having them each be a tool. For training and learning more so over just fun and shooting for the sake of shooting haha

Everything got lights and slings this past year lol


Well you saw I mounted mine at the 7-8pm position but i’m also a lefty with long guns so everything for me is a massive process of trial, error, and figuring shit out since so many people in the firearms industry just dont give a shit about lefties.

 

I could do that and just scoot my front sight back a few slots, I’ll try it and see how it works. Thanks!

On my SBR I have the light at the 3 o’clock with the tape switch directly opposite (I hit the tape switch with my left thumb, right middle finger can also move the switch on the light from momentary to constant on) because at low ready (with the rifle rolled left) I get the best beam spill ahead, but I think it would stick out too far to be slick inside a bag.
If I don’t like 12 or 6 I’ll try using one of the offset mounts.

P.S. sorry you’re wrong handed.

 

The one favor i’ve done myself is shooting pistols right handed but cross dominant (left eye).
So yes, i’m all sorts of wrong

 

I'm a righty but left eye dominant. I still shoot right handed but with both eyes open it's not so bad. I'll also cock my head to the right a little which helps also.

 

Thats what i do. Cross dominant. Both eyes open, head slightly tilted, firearm naturally comes up in front of my left eye, while both eyes are open. Depending on the lighting conditions (say if its really really bright out for instance) i’ll occasionally wince my right eye almost closed, but i never want to get into a habit of closing it, since i need 100% of my vision to scan for stimuli not 50%

But i grew up running long guns and shotguns left handed. So people’s heads explode when they see it...and i never think anything of it.

 

I do the same with long guns. For the life of me, I cannot close my left when and keep right open. I shoot pistols right handed. I have been keeping both eyes open when using a scope on a rifle,,, I haven't tried with a pistol.

 

I dont see a problem if it works for you and you’re safe and confident with it

There are a few instructors videos and different things out there but its not prevalent enough, at least as I see it

 

I used to shoot archery competitions and work at a pro shop. I saw people with the attitudes that things have to be done a certain way much like things I see on here. I was always of the mindset that you should figure out what works best for you and roll with it.

 

Received confirmation of shipping . Estimated arrival to my FFL is by end of day tomorrow. So hopefully my DMV appointment tomorrow will have my license straightened out
