   We do one called "F" your buddy where buddy loads mags and tosses in a couple snap caps randomly and inserts in your holstered firearm.
Tap and rack dance.
Some "buddys" will fill the whole mag with dummy's, but after 3 or more, I automatically change mags

    I like iron sights but I (or should I say my eyes) finally broke down for the dot on my HDS.
G19 with light and holosun, it does not conceal well on my slim  :rofl:  figure for CC.
I do well with my smaller frames from concealed but usually don't go anywhere, maybe town once or twice a month and feel the CC need more when returning home and entering my house.

  My range bag always has extra battery's for all equipment that requires them, including ears, but I've given them more to others than needed myself.

   Our qaul times are all under 2.5 up to 7 yards (one guy under 1.5 but he's an alien),  around 5 sec @ 10 yds and a hair over that from 15yds (alien is faster).
USUALLY 100% or 10 points off if trying to push it.
Have not shot test with HD gun yet but will this weekend.
Which Holosun did you end up going with? 

I am going to try to shoot the CCW qual again this weekend with Glock 17.4 with irons and maybe my M&P with irons, just to try. 

Does the alien's name start with D?  ;D

Everything is propaganda.
Even the truth?
Especially the truth.

This is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment -- government censorship of individual speech.

That's the nature of freedom. People are at liberty to post lies (the government does it all the time), and everyone else is free to believe the lies or not.  Most of us ignore them.


I'd ask those in the legislature one question:  when the Democrat Party under the leadership of Hillary Clinton's campaign created the Russia Collusion hoax, and the FBI illegally obtained FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign, and when their lawyer lied about Carter Page being a CIA asset, and then continued their hoax for years to disrupt the Trump administration, is that the level of scrutiny we can expect from this Hawaii government based censorship board?

Has anyone bothered to apologize to the American people for silencing the people who refused to believe the lies and misinformation coming out of the White House and DOJ?

If government can't get the big things right, how can we trust them to get the little ones right?
Yeah, that's what I was getting at.  I have always been interested in WWII (history, events leading up, etc).  Been watching the "in color" shows of the events recently.

To your question, if those being asked are already biased by the propo, then what's the use?  [rhetorical]

biden's response to this tragedy irritated me.  Not one pip about investigating and holding those responsible accountable and thereby responsible for it's re-build.  Not one pip about prioritizing the insurance process.

But quick to state about the Federal Government will do whatever it takes to get the bridge up and running.  Translation:  Federal money.  Tax money.  Our money.

By the way, it's an election year........ ::)

Time and time again, biden has shown (me at least) why it seems like he's not in charge of the nation.  Just an old man figurehead that needs to be clarified every now and then when he talks crazy.  I don't see him as our leader.  More like a talking head for the man, men, woman, wife, or diversity monstrosity that is behind the proverbial political curtain.

His handlers need to "walk back" his statements time and time again.

Yes, I believe the Federal Government needs to be involved in the re-build.  But his cavalier attitude toward Federal Funds shows the lights are out and nobody's home up there.
All talk. . . definition of propaganda, at least from what you described above. . .

I've been seeing Weekend in Bernie's being on tv here and there lately  :rofl:

This happened to me as the tray is very snug for my Holosun. So when I popped it out, IDK which way the batter was because it flipped like a coin.
You have a 50/50 chance of being ok, or test yourself as if the dot went down. Flip the battery before every course of fire.

That reminds me, watch the screw on the battery door. I was in a class where two guys lost the screw for the battery door. Range ground was all rocks, so no chance to find.

Another possibility is upside down battery.
Someone asked him that.  :rofl:

He reported it was working previously and just went out. Did some research and seems like some reports of bending contacts and short initial battery life. I use all Duracell or Panasonic batteries, and will change if it comes with another brand.

I've had mags blocked through LGS and variety of ways.  For polymer mags, a blocker in the follower, typically with epoxy.  That said, the epoxy has varying degress of "not readily restored".  Not sure if was the epoxy or the work to install, but some fell off before too long.  Of course, I made sure to make it "not readily restored" again. . .

For metal mags, they typically made a dimple that allowed only 10 rounds. 

For competition, I have some mags with extended baseplates.  Yeah, better to have standard cap mags though. . . When traveling for competition or classes to free(er) states, standard cap mags are essential.  Otherwise you're jamming mags way to often.

You know what I liked about Tyson?

He wasn't that big for a heavyweight.  Chiseled, but not big.  What was he, 5'11 or so?

But that anger.  And determination.

And his ability to channel and focus all that anger.

I wonder if they got that phrase "Eye of the Tiger" by watching his face when he fights.
He was scary quick and power (or so it appeared) in his hands.  Style of fighting 'inside phone booth' and combo of body/head hooks, plus that upper cut.  Yeah, bigger guys could probably take punches, but most couldn't move like Tyson did.  I used to watch his mitts sessions with that old trainer.  His punches were a blur!

Not sure reloads have anything to do with red dots.

I've never had a RD stop working.  I make sure to turn them off when in the safe, and I replace the batteries once a year.  For the AimPoint PRO, it was a 2-year schedule.

In the grand scheme of things, batteries are a cheap, expendable item.  If you're waiting until it stops working it so you can save a dollar, you're setting yourself up for a visit from Mr. Murphy.
There’s also quality in batteries. And prob how long said battery was on the shelf.

A buddy has their battery die when on the range recently. It was Holosun that he bought new recently. I would also expect the battery to be good, but no idea how long the battery was on the shelves at Holosun (or whichever company).

But yeah, best to change regularly. I have battery meters, but even those aren’t super reliable indicators.

But, if you’re like CMO, you’re proud when the optic fails and can experience it.  ;D

My RDS went down multiple times on my AR. Which was good becuase I got to practice flipping up the back ups to finish the exercise.  I kind of want things like this to happen, so I can get unpredicted reps in real time. Which is why I'm not a fan of 1R1.  When I practice reloads, I put random amount of rounds into the mag, this way I'm not counting.
Separate topic, but you can setup double feeds as well.  In a SB a LONNNGGG time ago, your partner has to setup your mags.  General intent was 2 randomly spaced casings inserted to simulate double feed to occur randomly in a COF.  My partner happened to put like 4-5 in one mag. . . ended up being during the portion of the COF where I was at the bottom of the VTAC. . . evil. . . I could hear them laughing. . .  :grrr:  ;D

Tulsi's daddy switched from republican to democrat.  Tulsi switched from democrat to independent with conservative values.

Scott Saiki said there are two kinds of people who do that.  Basically one switches because they no longer support the party's foresight and values.  The other one switches out of convenience.

Happens all the time but all of us individually need to decide for ourselves what is their motivation that made them decide to genuinely switch.
:rolleyes: on Saiki. . . that guy is the "I know what's best for everyone. . " mindset.  Grown too big for a "Gov't for/by the people". . . sound familiar?

Back in the day we used to design all our own courses of fire.
This thread makes me think it might be fun to design an action pistol stage where you intentionally obscure your sights.
It would be a simulation of catastrophic failure of electronic and/or iron sights.
It does happen.

In fact, you could design a whole match centered around gun failures.
There are groups that already do that, or used to.  Not a match though.  Sometimes happens inadvertently, like when an optic or battery goes down, but that's a good topic for a separate thread. . .

This fight is getting the attention of a wide range of folks.  I think true clash of generations.  Was talking with some folks I work with yesterday, with some in the mid-20s and range to 50s.  Interesting convo as those in their 20s weren't alive when Tyson was champ, but many of them were pulling for Tyson.

If it works, it works. . .

I shot the qual course of fire yesterday with the 43x with half par times, just to see.  Tried to post the target here, but getting errors.   :(

Funny how you people work on the forums. Go look up so and so. OK. I did and read it. Posted parts of articles for you to read and you didn't read it. I searched for "TLDR" to understand what it meant. In my opinion, it should stand for TFLTR.
I've read and watched Zins opinions on handgun shooting with a dot. Don't work for me. I've also listened to Gunny Roxburgh for rifle shooting and his points don't work for me either. I shot better on both pistols with red dots (bullseye) and rifle with a 4x dot by focusing on the dot. Tighter groups overall. In the end, you can drop names all you want but its just you and the target. The only consistent advice is the mental aspect and environmental considerations from most shooters I've shot with and received coaching from. Some mechanical aspects work for me some don't. Every person is not built the same. Lanny Basham's book "With Winning in Mind" I've read more over than the USAMU guide.

I opened the link prior to your quote, and that was lengthy.  Was just saying it was long and didn't read it all before replying, so may have missed something you were trying to say. . .

I "dropped a name" of AMU shooter since you appear to have held that group in high regard. 

Great that you found a method of shooting tight groups that works for you and your chosen style and shooting interests.     

How far are those targets?
Close. . . not where atmospherics, wind, spin drift, etc matter. . .

Shot the 43x/EPS Carry combo today. Still getting used to the micro pistol grip. The grip length on the 43x does help though. I’ll have to shoot more timed against the 17.5/EPS and Acro setups. Overall like the EPS.  Plan to shoot the 17.5/EPS in carry optics soon, and might try the 43x as well.

Shot variety of courses of fire. Bill drills, FAST, etc. Shot a little on USPSA reduced size targets, but don’t know if I like those yet.
