    So much wrong with this post that I'm not even going to start.

    I agree w/Beavis? :eek:

    Batteries slowly lose their charge over time and there's really no way to predict when it will die. Murphy's law will say that it will go down when you need it. Trusting your life or that of your wife to a laser is just silly.

    I can't recall the manufacturer but they're quite popular in Israel since carried rifles are the thing to do and the mags can't be seated. You'll see this style mag holder which they practice with to be able to pop them out and swap them in quickly for use should the need arise. Not sure where it would have it place here but if that's something you want to do you shouldn't have a hard time finding them via Google w/the deets I've supplied.

    I has far more practical application than a laser does that's for sure.

    I also wouldn't have to sugar coat it to avoid hurting your feelers like I have to do with all the mamby pambies 'round these parts. I'm used to real gun forums for gun discussions where sensitive little skinny jeans wearers don't get all butt-hurt when you tell them how needless something is. Oh well, people who feel that the more accessories they have the more tacticool they will look online the more shit they buy that nobody else wants. Industry profits and the wheels on the bus keep rolling. Everyone wins! I just sometimes can't bite my tongue and feel the need to try to help someone new to shooting out and 9/10 they get all defensive and want to explain why it's so bad ass and 100% necessary to the mission. Whatever. 1/10 times it gets through so I guess that's why I keep trying every now and then. Most of the time I don't have the time/patience and just let them rock stupid shit on their gats to try to impress the ladies. :D

    Ah I see now that it doesn't have a second mag, just the mag well block and a mag on the bottom. Side by side more practical...two mags vs one

    Laser becomes a crutch, a false sense of security as mentioned. Use a laser for bore sighting and that's about it. I don't know of any LE here in CO at least that use lasers on weapons. That's what point of aim shooting training is for.

    And flick flash light on and off, less chance of giving away position and the flash prints a brief image on your retina. Trust me, I've trained at night, its tough but pretty damn awesome to see what your mind and eyes can do together if you train em.

    Great looking piece. Never cared for the two tone polymers, but that is great looking!

    Ammo!

    My favorite online ammo retailer, SGammo.com, is once again fully stocked on Speer (Gold Dot), Remington (Golden Saber), and Winchester (T Series and PDX Supreme). Plus they have practice ammo (FMJ) for most calibers including the 9mm (hard to find since Sandy Hook). Most notably, they have a bunch of the Speer Gold Dot for .38 Special in the 135 grain short barrel. That's been out of stock everywhere for months. They also have a bunch of stuff in .223/5.56 and .308 for your so-called "assault rifle." Cheers.

    Yes. I use FBI technique when I train on night shooting. There's even a right and wrong way to hold your flashlight in your hand too. When I learned the right way it made a big difference for me.

    We look at things differently. That's cool. If you don't agree with it that cool also. I'm open for any type of discussion you want about weapons and it doesn't bother me.

    What does put me off is your condescending attitude. I made a mistake yesterday about your scope on the BST and took it down and apologized for it. But I've received nothing but grief from you on most anything I post in here from you.
    It's my weapon and it functions exactly as I intend it to function. If it's not how you would do it that's fine. I don't say anything about it. But you certainly don't have a problem saying something about it.

    So... I'll leave it at that and let you guys have it. I'm all for hearing different opinions but not at the expense of being berated each time I post.

    It's all yours my friend. I'll check back from time to time for some ideas.

    He may very well know some shit. I don't have a problem with that. His style is not a style I appreciate so I have no use for him. There are others out there that know as much if not much more and can come across in a much less dick fashion. I'm much more inclined to listen to them. I'm in no mood to argue and I'm too old for childish games.

    When you end your sentence with playa.... that's really all I need to know.

    Who's being childish? You're the one who can't take constructive criticism regarding something you obviously aren't very well versed in. I'm also equally sure there are TONS more people out there that know TONS more than I do but they normally don't post to try to offer guidance to people. I'm beginning to see why. At no point have I attacked you personally and yet you posted that I 'berated' you at some point. You obviously require a version of kid gloves that I'm not capable of so I'm not sure who's the one playing childish games but it sure as shit ain't me.
