Some new stuff
Glock 43 Mods, playing with the idea of getting a Agency Arms Slide for it or not. I just used a Dovetail/RDS Adapter.
New M&P Pro C.O.R.E. 40S&W I picked up new for $380
I have only just got it but I added a RDS, will be "Smithing" this one as well. The RDS has a perfect Co-witness, its just hard to make out with a camera....
My super dooper Mall Cop Agent V2 Pro EDC. I havent got all the Molle attachments in yet but will have Pistol mag/AR mag/Shot Shell Holsters + Pistol holster/First aid/Tourniquick. CATI 11x14" IIIA+ Plates, will also be adding Trauma Plates (IIA Rated). The plates by themselves should stop M855 out of a 18" barrel...Im hoping the added IIA plates will increase protection if a longer barrel is used or M855A1. I have been wearing this setup anytime I go for a walk or work out, its 27lbs as is and I would like it not to slow me down if it comes time to put it on for real. I have a few different carriers but I havent found one that doesnt restrict movement putting my arms together for pistol grip, the Testudo Gen2 seems to be the next vest I try.

Sure, but is there really any practical value to being able to shoot a 3" group at 25 yards with a handgun?
An 8" group is still "minute of bad guy", and if you shoot someone at 25 yards, I wish you lots of luck trying to convince a jury that doing so was an act of self defense.
I believe in having fun and doing what I like, I dont need a real reason. I just like the look and they help me with issues I have with my astigmatism/eyesight and distance between the iron sights. The dot is slightly starburst in shape but I have an easier time just focusing on my target and laying the dot over it without having my eyes adjust back and forth creating more fuzz on everything.
Optics on Pistols, iS tHat NoT FookIn KooL lOokIn ore WhaaT???
I like all the Gucci looking firearms and I think they are works of art, I can't afford them...but I would like to. I try to do all the work myself and I think that if more people accepted that everyone likes different shit and people should encourage them into this community regardless of what we like or dont....anyone that has any positive interest in firearms is a win for us, another person on our side....we have enough enemies and people that are against what we like already. Some people like Raised vehicles, others like slammed cars that hop, I like most things that people have dedicated time and effort into. I like wood/steel guns, lever and bolt actions up to the raced out 2011's and have a similar view for cars and other things. I dont see many people around me invested in anything...no hobbies or real interests and these people seem hollow and narcissist - its appalling. These communities draw in people in need of help or just to talk, we all have a similar interest and we obvious care a good amount about it....lets find common ground and respect that.
I dont look or want to shoot anyone - but if it comes to that day I would like to be able to lay a quarter sized group onto where I want it so I dont have to worry about bystanders or friendlies. If its a threat thats within 8 yards you should be able to hit where you want without using the sights at all but anything further than that is good for target practice or STHF and I do see shit hitting the fan some time soon....if not then I see a grim and dark future ahead of us and this is why I have dedicated myself to working out intensely, shooting/drills almost every day, and learning as much as I can. If nothing ever happens then Ill be happy Im making myself a better person but if something DOES happen then I should be somewhat prepared for most situations. Call it survival insurance.
Some pistol shooters get so fixated on "target shooting" that I worry whether they would be able to hit anything at all, even at close range, when their adrenaline is pumping during a time of need. With a handgun, I like "threat focused" shooting. Some people refer to this as "point shooting", which may or may not be an accurate description depending on situation. Bottom line: Eyes focused on the thing you want to hit, not the sights. The sights may or may not be used, but in an "Oh Shit!" situation, chances are you won't be able to focus on them anyway.

I think this is why 3Gun is growing at a dramatic rate, people love the adrenaline and intensity while still having to nail targets at varying distances quickly over terrain under pressure the of time. This is the type of shooting that would play into many defensive roles or "gun fights"....and its very VERY fun.

This is exactly why I feel SHTF really soon, things are escalating and by background influences not mentioned. Soros and other Anti-American groups are funneling cash and firearms into these antifa and extremist groups and they are walking down the street - Armed and waving the Communist Flag. People laughed when it was predicted this would happen last year and we are a golf swing away from a shot being fired and people getting enraged. Prepare yourselves, stockpile armaments and ammunition and wait for when it will be called for...YOU ARE IMPORTANT. This cannot be allowed.
Infanticide is being proposed in legislation and passed in NY already, if they can exterminate their own babies for any variable then what do you expect they would do to people with opposing views? Why do you think they want open borders and heavy gun regulation? Socialists are speaking out publicly and have you seen the new people in congress????? I could go on and on with the Red Flags (no pun) seen and its getting to a point where it's daily insanity....this will reach a boiling point and "a shot will be heard across the nation".....

The democrats just announced that the next Democrat president "may" use a National Emergency to forcefully take the guns from citizens to help with "gun violence". They are publicly declaring civil war at this point and people need to know so they can prepare for worst case scenario. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND SPREAD WORD. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4YnwcB4WN/
I know this will sound serious and most likely foolish but just sharing some information others may find useful.
Grab alot of Dark Clothing now, Black Pants and Shirts/Hoody that are non-reflective and loose. Find Holsters that make it easy to retrieve your sidearm easily without looking. Make sure you have a really good set of boots that will last. Gloves and Balaclava are optional.
Boots I recommend are Maelstrom® TAC FORCE ($65ish)
I highly suggest getting a pistol and Pistol Caliber Rifle that use the same round and magazine. Like a 9mm Glock Mag 7.5" AR/ Extar EP9 and a Glock 19. That way you have a magazine and round thats found in almost every household. They are great out to 200 yards and that's more room than you will need for this type of scenario. Stock up on FMJ rounds as you will need as much penetration as possible.
Both or these Firearms can be on your body while your moving without much restriction, having a second AR15 (5.56) with a barrel of 18"-22" loaded with X193 rounds will punch through any Armed Combatants wearing the majority of Plates available, less than handful can withstand these rounds at the velocities they travel using a barrel size of 20" and over. Try to make these Rifles as light as possible without hurting its reliability and strength.
Stock up atleast 1000rnds per round type, not including the rounds you will have in your firearms or on your carrier. Even if they aren't used they will be good forms of currency if it gets bad.
I like using Pistol Red Dots on my Rifles for these distances as they are very quick, small, and do not block your field of view at all. The ADE Red Dots are a good place to start to see if you would like them...I have had 1 out of 4 fail on a pistol slide (none lost zero) so on a Rifle you wont have any issues and they arent more than $60. The Python is $40 and is the one I use on my pistols but I use their RD3-013 Bertrillium on my Short AR's.
Grab a Plate Carrier, both Soft 3A Armor/3A+ Hard Plates and wear the soft armor outside of the Hard Plate. Get used to wearing the weight, this combo will stop just about everything up to .338 Lapua. I suggest getting one soft plate for your front and lightweight steel plates front and back for best protection/weight ratio. DO NOT FORGET TRAUMA PADS.
Examples:
Soft Armor: https://scorpiustactical.com/shop/b...r-soft-armor-lightweight-level-iiia-sapi-cut/
Hard Plate: https://www.ar500armor.com/ar500-ar...weight-10-x-12-level-iii-alsc-body-armor.html
Outfit your Plate Carrier (I suggest a Condor MOPC) with Molle Attachments for Magazines, First Aid, Torniquik and the most important part...PATCHES
Next is all Drills and Training/Working Out and Diet - Stock up on MRE type food just in case you or your loved ones do not have a garden or immediate source of food if things go south. Water is one of the most important things on your checklist, 2 Liters of soda are less than $1, after using them refill with water and store.
Remember, this is worst Case Scenario prep. We still have some time so dont stress about getting everything you need "this moment", but dont shrug it off. Get it in small bits and slowly grow your inventory.
Thats like pimping out your favorite AR, on the way to the range and you forgot that you have no money or ammo. Every part is important, skills sit above those important parts and pieces....If you cant use it under stress than you are about as effective as a steel gong in the fight.
Have you seen the new Flux gear for the Glock?? They make a Brace and a Magazine /Flashlight "holder", it's still a pistol with no stamps but fills the role of a truck gun perfectly.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_ybdrn8Yu/
Might get a new G36 Gen5 MOS just to throw it all on it, better than the RONI Brace or the Strike Industries system.
The use of a flashlight shouldnt be continuous, in fact it can be very effective in blinding people effecting their vision and also serving to locating objects and family members when in need. It should never be on unless its called upon....but if you look at the construction of that light holder...its not just a light holder...
It was mentioned that it would be a "Truck Gun"
But if you miss, and the perp wasn't staring directly at the flash, you will be one momentarily blinded. Also consider, any caliber greater than 22
indoors will likely make your ears bleed.
Never liked lights myself but if you could defuse situation by simply blinding/disorienting them before firing, wouldn't that be better?
I've been trying to point it out for a while that he's changed his position on firearms since Parkland...
When I posted that, I missed the fact that the tweet was exactly one year old.

I didnt like the stock trigger, the break was kind of like a Sigma 9mm. It just wasnt clean and kind of long. Swapped that out and now it is a favorite.
That's my biggest problem.We have a few indoor ranges close by,but they run like $30 an hour and only allow 2 people.When we go,there is me and my 2 sons,so that eliminates the indoor ones,so we have to drive about 40 miles to go to an outdoor range.Because of the distance we only go a few times a year,saves a ton of ammo that way though haha.
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means with zero co-sponsors. I doubt that one is going anywhere.
OTOH, HR8, with 232 co-sponsors will likely get consideration.
I don't put any faith in something not passing, these people don't play by the rules anymore...Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means with zero co-sponsors. I doubt that one is going anywhere.

A lot of us are not as fortunate, I'm jealous.
