I don’t pack a pistol when rifle hunting. Bow hunting it’s a J-Frame with 180g .357 in the front pants pocket. Not ideal for bears but hopefully better than nothing.

I’ve had a decent amount of room clearing training over the last two decades. Half the time I can’t beat my kid in nerf hide and seek. Clearing is terrible, especially done alone.

30-06 is the most powerful I own. All I hunt is steepish local public lands for pronghorn, deer, and elk and she’s put A LOT of meat in the freezer. Maybe I’ll get a bigger bore when I draw a local moose tag but I doubt it. Ain’t sexy but stainless, synthetic, and a bit of electrical tape for...

Off duty I don’t carry my Glock 17 with reflex sight but I do almost as well with an Sig P365XL accuracy and speed wise. As far as 25 yard headshots, well at the range I’m pretty damn good at that but under stress God only knows and I hope not to find out. I try my best to pack more than a...

Well said sir.

The group pictured is from my Daniel Defense 16” Chromed lined barrel with no load development (but good components and solid reloading practices). One would expect about the same from a similar Colt barrel. Stainless barrels crafted well will probably do better but with some trade off on ease...

I buy/sell higher end knives (on eBay as peakbagger46) and have had ALOT of blades in hand over the last few years. The Chris Reeve Umnumzaan is my absolute favorite and has been for a long while.

Thanks all for the feedback. Other than having fun, my personal focus is work and meat hunting purposes. I’ve kept my work AR one click off from fully collapsed for years since I suck at room clearing with a rifle and want as short as possible. The group picture was shot that way. I still...

Absolutely a RDS makes one better at mid to long range shooting. Unfortunately that’s not where defensive use usually occurs with a handgun. After thousands of dry and live fire reps over several years, my previous issued Glock .40 is still faster / more accurate for up close point shooting...

From the article: “And ongoing studies do not show an increase in rates of CJD in hunters in Colorado. "Results so far have been reassuring," he said. "The number of cases of CJD or other prion disease in this hunting population has not been higher than what we would expect in the general...

I live where CWD mulies are a possibility. We kill healthy looking deer and I’ve never seen one that appeared sick with the disease based on their behavior. Could it infect myself or my family, yes it’s a remote possibility. Same can be said of beef, and the sheer number of animals thrown...

I’ve tried both standing in light area and aiming at dark ones / standing in darker area and aiming into daylight. Both work fine with the RMR. What’s the alternative anyhow, messing with very tiny adjustments on a small optic during an “incident”? RDS isn’t working, better revert to both...

I get the comparisons between rifle and pistol optics, but it’s genuinely not the same thing. The AR gives a cheek weld while drawing a pistol from the holster causes genuine issues that require A LOT of reps to mitigate.

I was forced into the RDS thing several years ago when my agency adopted them (along with stepping back from .40 to 9mm). They can be nice but have a big training curve, particularly in acquiring the dot on the draw, even if you’re damn proficient at practical handgun fighting. Sounds like you...

Very few shooters in southern Louisiana don’t get arrested? That seems odd unless “arrested” includes being detained in cuffs until LE figures out what is going on.

This has been exactly my experience with optics on defensive handguns. I wasn’t given the choice and following a two day training, got issued the RMR equipped Glock. It is a big improvement on distance accuracy, no question. Immediately 25 yard headshots became very doable and repeatable...

Thanks for all the responses, honestly I wasn’t happy with that group but guess it isn’t too bad. The Geissele two stage trigger definitely helps, I would be all over the place with a mil-spec one.

Thanks for posting one of the most PC and irrelevant things I’ve read here in a while (and that says a lot). In addition to your tactical writing instrument and reinforced phone, does a rape whistle get a spot as well? How’s your fitness level, training, and exposure to pepper spray...

Did a few standing unsupported strings at 100y with my AR today with the LPVO set around 3X. Very humbling and the below is my best “group”. Whether for hunting or training, get your gun off the bench and work on practical skills!

Not the exact bullet, but Rel 15 has proven unexpectedly accurate with my chrome lined AR 16” barrel. Groups are 50 yards (sighting in the low power scope for a 50/200 zero). While 23.5 grains has proved safe for me, be aware that going up towards max has shown pressure signs in hot weather...
