    Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US supplied missiles to strike inside of Russia

    The Army Tactical Missile System is not a weapons system in of itself, it is a munition that either the track based M270A1 MLRS or the smaller wheeled version, the HIMARS, can fire. The graphic in the article is incorrect, the HIMARS can only hold and fire 1 ATACMS at a time before reload, the...

    First batch of 7.5x55 Schmidt-Rubin

    I think I read somewhere that 7.5x55 actually uses a .308 diameter bullet. Is this true? I guess it must given your bullet selection.

    Nice piece. I have been on the fence about getting an M&P 2.0 for some time and the Carry Comp finally pushed me over. The Carry Comp is just a gussied up 2.0 in the end. The EPS seems like a very nice optic, fully enclosed without having what seems like a mailbox atop the slide and the view...

    I wish he was here to see my new rig, I think he'd really dig it. Especially once I get the TRL-7 HL-X on. He was always one for the latest and greatest tech.

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    Y'know, I have been operating under the assumption that the EPS Carry was intended for use on slimline guns like P365, Shield, G43 ect, and that the wider EPS was meant for full width double stack guns. Observing tge way the EPS overhangs the top contour of the Carry Comp's slide I'm wondering...

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    The DPP plate while thin does not allow for a co-witness with these sights. In fact even with a direct mount I don't think I'd be able to see more than the very top edge of the irons. I shoot the gun for awhile while I decided if I really want a co-witness. If I do I'll get some plain black irons.

    Balls of Steel standing up for gun rights or dumbass??

    The line between brave or dumb is a fuzzy one and may be entirely dependent on one's point of view. My view is that these audits can serve a usefull purpose if done properly, can be counterproductive if done improperly and is a brave act if the individual recognizes and accepts the risks of...

    I ended up getting an adapter plate from a company called DPP, a quick search revealed no real complaints and word is that the DPP Titanium plate is thin enough to just allow for co-witness on standard height sights. Also a litter cheaper at $40. Oh I have settled on the EPS, seems like one of...

    I think I'm just gonna purchase from my LGS so whichever model EPS they have available. The ones on display were all the solar ones and they are asking $395 for those.

    The T-Rex Ragnarok is an excellent holster, I have one for my G19. I do think it's better suited for range or competition use, or open carry situations but that might just because I have it on a Tech Mount which has it sticking out from tge belt a bit.

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    I'll start with the plates but I see that CH also can modify the factory cut to allow for direct mounting of the optic and at a cost that seems cheaper than a new set of tall sights. And yeah, the TRL-7 HL-X is what I'm targeting. The Carry Comp has an overall slide length that is the same as a...

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    Hokay, did my research. The EPS series are a low profile optic designed for direct to slide mount applications. The EPS Carry uses the Holosun K footprint for use on slimline guns such as the Glock 43, Shield, P365 ect. The EPS (just EPS, no carry or any other follow on nomenclature) is an...

    Mini-30 is NY compliant also. The Ruger is the better gun too but very expensive now as I stated above. I checked on the magazine situation too. 10 round Ruger factory magazines are available and prices ranged between $30 to $40 online so that's all perfectly fine. If you can stomach the high...

    Could it be that the more guns you have, the less proficient you become?

    I wrestle with this too. Every gun I buy I think I could have bought an equivalent amount of ammo and thus more range time. But in actuality what really happens is that new guns stimulate more frequent range time and more ammo purchases. For example I recently got an S&W 586 L-Comp. Prior to...

    Yugo SKSs are still the cheapest but are rising in price due to a lack of imports. The SKS was long the bargain basement value option for semi auto rifles but now are as expensive as any other self loading rifle. $700 I'd about a median price across all types for a good but not great condition...

    Cheaper to destroy military ammo than bring it home?

    It would be much better to re-sell that ammo on the surplus market yes................. however the more I learn about the M855A1 cartridge the less interested I am in ever putting any through my own guns. High pressures wearing out parts faster, especially increased frequency of bolt and...

    BTW New Yorkers- NYS went from a D+25 to a D+10 in this election. Trump got 44% of the NY vote. That is a MASSIVE shift and you all played a huge role in securing the poplar vote for Trump. WELL DONE PEOPLE!
