I know you have a scope now, but in answer to your questions, I like both! The Fastfire III is small and light, under 2 ounces, a lot like a pistol red dot. Very rugged , especially with the protector mount. The Sig is probability 3x the weight but still light. Shake awake is cool but in a long...

I run a Romeo 5 on one of the ARs and it's perfect. Light , Shake Awake, holds zero. I keep going back to it because of the features. I put on a Vortex Strikefire, an older EOTech, and a Burris MTAC before but the Romeo 5 is pretty much perfect for me on this carbine. One of the other ARs is an...

Yeah, facts . . . Or it's just an urban myth

I can't even see the target at 300 yards . . . The problem about youth is that it's wasted on the young

Inquiring minds want to know . . . tell me more . . .

Never sneeze during a vasectomy . . .

Yeah, where is he lately? He was on the red dot thread and I fired off a couple of questions and . . . zip

Oh shit! Yeah I'm just going through this thread again and the Holosun SCS was mentioned in post #1106, 7? on Apr 2nd. I knew I'd seen something but I didn't remember. It was right around the time I was moving and I wasn't even thinking about red dots. The review that @MikeyCNY linked gave it...

You're gonna love it! I bought my first one here in AZ years ago and brought it back to FL. When I moved back here to AZ, bought another one again. Runs up to 575-600° pretty fast for good searing.

I guess a G17 wouldn't be too bad . . .

To clear up something per the OP's posts and state IDs. If he lives there part time, he is entitled to obtain a state issued ID. He has stated that he owns properties in PA and that he is in PA every weekend from Friday to Sunday. Or secondly per the instructions on a Form 4473, Section 26.b...

A little more on the Canik METE SFT . . . got out the next day to shoot. A quick lube and a full mag dump just to warm it up, no target. 2nd mag first shot at target, iron sights - dead nuts on! Love this trigger! Best of any striker fired guns I've shot, with possibly a Walther Q5 Match. Just...

Wonder what brand it was? Gun show?

Ok so it's here finally. The LGS ordered a Rival originally but got the wrong one. So after researching instead of guessing what I wanted I ended up with the SFT Mete. The Rival is more of a competition/race gun and I wanted a defense gun. The Mete has white dot sights (vs fiber optic and...

This right here! I've lived in two states for years (NY and FL, NY and AZ, and FL and AZ) and have purchased guns in those states. In the OPs case he should keep his NY drivers license and CWP for his regular use. He can get a PA non driver ID and use it to purchase firearms in PA. At that point...

The future is worth it

I have a Benjamin Nitro Piston air rifle in .22 that is the quietest air rifle I have ever shot. It was about $100 a few years ago. Took woodchucks and raccoons with ease.

Grey man, redundancy, teamwork, supplies. Keep a low profile. Wrangler and Carhartts, not multicam and moral patches. Have multiples of like models - Me? 2 each of Glock 19, Sig 220, Beretta 92, S&W J-frame, 1911, AR15, pump shottys, and at least 3 mags for each. Just starting out? Multiple...

Love it! A Rubenesque figure for sure! Looking at a blue Orca for my next horological purchase . . . Someday one of the Seamasters . . . Are you getting the adaptors to rock it with a NATO?

I've bought and sold dozens of guns through the years and most had a purpose more or less. Some made more sense than others. Some I bought with "intentional use" but never used them for said use. But there was a plan. And then there was the .357 Magnum derringer . . . what a great idea! I could...

This is an outstanding deal if you think about it. A decent rifle and pistol for way under a grand. Been thing about grabbing a Dagger, wanna hear a couple of "local" reviews first. Waiting on yours . . .

When I moved from Chautauqua county to Florida permanently I just packed up the unloaded guns in the truck, in the safes. Kept two loaded ones on me because I already had a Florida CWP . . . a few months later I received my forwarded renewal letter from the NY State Police telling me what I had...

None, everything is the same. All I did is unbutton the pants and adjust the belt accordingly. BHP, 1911, Sig 220 and now a 365, which is way easier and rarely unbutton . . .

Yeah, I'm thinking you're shitouttaluck when the sun goes down . . .

No, no, no . . . the solar panel is only powering the red dot during daylight in case the battery dies. LEDs need very little power. For example, most of these red dot sights use a 3 volt CR2032 battery and have battery life exceeding 10-20000 hrs. Some as high as 60,000 hours. Not much power...

It says motion sensor, 3 MOA, auto brightness, 60,000 hrs on lowest setting, 2032 battery, aluminum housing, glass lens, auto shut off and TCF (Tactical Concave Face) which allows for racking the slide on a belt. No solar and a bottom battery would be negatives but at $249 retail possibly...

Any opinions on the Canik MeCanik red dots? Just ordered a Canik Rival and it has one the these red dots. There is a new Burris Fastfire out too, the IV, looks like the MeCanik red dot . . . .hmmmm

Resurrection . . . was in my little LGS and there was a couple of SFx Rivals in stock a few weeks ago. They came with red dots made by Canik . . . been thinking about them soooo I went back. I ordered something like what I saw and it should be in soon. I'll let y'all know . . .

As far as customer service goes, this is getting to be the norm. Mediocre at best. I bought myself a new Beretta 92X Compact for my birthday. For a couple of weeks I tried to figure out the mounting plates by myself because I couldn't get CS to answer the phone. On hold for long periods of time...

FWIW when I lived in Florida I worked a Christensen dealer and a few of the staff owned them. Absolutely loved them. Well built, top of the line, aerospace technology rifles. Super light weight and match grade. Do the break in procedure. Now I've never shot one, but I do have a Ruger Hawkeye...

Anyone have a take on the Palmetto State Armory Dagger glocky gun? Seems too go to be true. Looking at the slide packages, especially the extreme carry slide with an RMR cut, threaded barrel, and tritium night sight front (suppressor height) for $250-270. Got a spare G19 Gen 3 laying around...

Ok just looking for opinions here. I'm trying to thin out the herd a bit when it comes down to scopes. AR number1 is an old school Mforgery - Colt SP1 receiver with Picatinny hand guards, 16" fluted barrel and an original Trijicon TA01NSN that I've had forever. So old that the tritium is barely...

Follow up: another 100 rounds . . . Bushnell customer service came through like a champ, my lost mounting screw showed up just in time for a short range session. Here's what I'm playing with right now. Bushnell RXS-100 4 MOA Leopold DPP footplate 8 brightness settings (no NV) IPX7 water...

Oh oh, now I'm gonna need something else. . . . It was $29 plus the thread protector

. . . 17 . . .

Haha hahaha!! Many, many moons ago I worked as part of an executive security detail for a family in Florida. We were "issued" leather fanny packs because the #2 (wife) wanted us to blend in with the tourists. Glock 19, extra mag, small asp and handcuffs (why?) #4 (son) called them fag bags. #3...

I've had a number of Mark IIIs through the years, including a 50th Anniversary (1999) and a bull barrel 22/45 that a student gave to me years ago. That one I installed a Majestic Arms take down kit that allowed you to unscrew a hex head bolt to remove the bolt for cleaning. Always hated...

Herein lies one of the problems. The Beretta website lists 5 plates: Leupold, ACRO, Burris/Doctor/Vortex, C-More, and Trijicon. If I want a Holosun 407/507 it has to be a "C" not a "K"? And my plate will be Trijicon. There is a fair amount of overhang with a Leupold/Bushnell RXS-100 etc. I was...

Superman t-shirt on the range while training . . .

Very freakin confusing! Is there a chart somewhere? Beretta sells adapter plates for their RDO model guns but I barely figured out the info. Happened to see the Bushnell RXS-100 on Prime day on sale and it said Leupold Delta ProPoint footprint. Order in! It worked. But was thinking about a...

The worst thing is I had no idea there were different mounting options and have a low budget to start. What a cluster fuac! RMR, MOS, DPP, and couple others I can't remember. What the hell!

Head shots - slow fire, single action. All in. Right upper - Double action only fast Left upper- original DA only slow Main center target - mag dumps All at ten yards first time back in over three years - still got a lot of work to do

Tip toeing into red dots . . . Beretta 92x compact RDO and an inexpensive Bushnell. It's been almost three and a half years since I have even shot a gun (a lot of shit going on but I digress). Found a range out here in AZ and ran a box through using irons . . . Settled down a bit and mounted the...

Congratulations deplorables!

So . . . when's the next one?

Good deal. Moving back there very shortly . . .

How long did it take?

THERE ya go!

Chautauqua county was like that. FWIW Florida is different. If you have a CWP show it and do the 4473. If you pass, take it home. No permit? A three day wait is in order. Put money down and wait three business days, no holidays, no weekends. Come back, do the 4473, pass it and take it home...
