Re: Red dot suggestions please

Had RMR's on carbines and one on a work pistol but never had really had the chance to dive into a red dot on a carry pistol before. Took part in a class today (amazing conditions lol) and not only learned a TON about the pros/cons, but with the instruction and support from the staff I'm hooked. I sh...

Re: help with AR bcg

Most commonly gas tube out of alignment with the gas key. Can come from both parts; gas tube can not be secured properly or is bent AND/OR the the gas key is not properly staked or on an out of spec BCG that has the milled surface that the gas key mounts to "off of table". Seen both. Try a...

Any gear outfitters in the valley?

Looking for recommendations for any reputable shops in the valley that sell quality brand shooting belts, pouches, kit, packs and the like and that keep it in stock. Think of an OP Tactical kind of place. I'd prefer to touch/feel/size some stuff before just firing off into the internet. Happy to buy...

Re: Panic Buying Over Yet?

Two things: Haven't been on here in a bit but man, what's with all the pissing and name calling? I wonder if you all would talk like that in front of each other in public? wtf Also, manufacturers are no longer considering this a "panic". This is a recognized state of continuing scenario in...

Re: Independence Training course discount codes

I just tried to buy Defensive Handgun and Defensive Carbine for my wife and I.... coupon code did not work. Bummer. Yeah code must be discontinued. Training classes are selling out right now. If you're able to I'd sign up as soon as you are able. Remember that once you complete any IT course that y...

Looking for Safe sellers in NW Valley

As title states. Time for a bigger safe. Looked over the internet for a while, buying used on OfferUp looks to be a PITA. Don't need a Cadillac of safes that's and armored humidor, just looking to protect dry goods. Any reputable businesses that sell quality safes near the NW Valley? Showroom would ...

Re: Independence Training course discount codes

In case anyone is still interested, the coupon code is still live but it won't be for much longer as things slowly get back to normal. Independence is being welcomed back quickly to the ranges it regularly uses and is required to follow prescribed protocol per each individual range but that's not sl...

Re: Thoughts on AR pistols

It's my opinion that every tool has its' application. Some tools even require specific application. And some tools have multiple applications. Ex: sockets and ratchet wrenches are the best way to install a screw. But did you know that many screwdrivers have boxed handles so that a box wrench can be ...

Re: What tiers would you assign AR-15 builds to?

White labeling has been going on a lot longer than you would think. I'm not talking about a Criterion barrel that is being stamped BCM either. How many BCG makers are there actually? LPK's? Stock charging handles? Does Colt really makes it's own waffle stocks? A2 compensators, and ETC? Nothing to b...

Re: What tiers would you assign AR-15 builds to?

I always wonder and try to balance out where different manufacturers fall on pricing, reliability, accuracy etc. Who would be top tier builds? What are middle of the road builds? What are pretty much the "jennings" and "lorcins" of AR builds? I have mine lines but others would b...

Re: Independence Training course discount codes

Re: 2011 work

I know that i am old and my mind is not as good or sharp as it once was but what is a 2011? It is a 1911 style framed pistol that is chambered in calibers other than .45 and most often 9mm. These frames also tend to have wider magwells that allow for double stack style magazines that are popular in...
