    Bicycle Handgun??

    my bad...i neglected to pick up on the fact that it was loaded touring. hell no 25mph is poss with rondonne. Century rides are not terribly difficult with a bit of training...but 25 mph average is way over the top. on a GOOD day i can keep 18 for a 40 mile ride.

    What good are sights in a real situation?

    def keep sights! for anyone recommending ramp sights..try to manipulate your hg with JUST the dominate hand..left hand is 'shot' for example..or hanging on to your child. a type I or II failure requires you to work the slide. tap the mag on your knee, thigh, hip whatever. invert the gun...

    Not the sort of thing that makes you feel warm and fuzzy about national security

    i do not recall what site i read it..so its with a bit of salt, but it said his AAR stated the 'vest may have been entangled with the trigger during holstering'. i had read a few threads about elastic keepers from jackets and such entering the trigger guard and when the gun is holsters...

    upLula magazine loader +1

    no doubt! i took a high round count class last nov and would not have been able to 1. keep up with " retape, reload, rehydrate " and 2. fingers would have been blood stumps half way thru day 1 without the uplula. best $ i had spent in a while.

    Code word

    ^^ agreed. ours are driven by commands only. DROP! RUN! etc... any situation where a set of quiet code words with some implication of necessary action are hollywood in my opinion. In a time of crisis...code words will be replaced with clear and direct commands. The idea that I...

    No tritium illumination in Trijicon TA31 ACOG

    i doubt your 31 has been around long enough to lose the tritium..as you'd prob notice the wear and tear elsewhere... but it is poss. Trij will take care of you/it. mine is not as bright as the EO but within a second or 2 in a dark room the cheveron becomes more visible.
