I carried a SP101 4in cross draw in a Mernickle Field Carry holster in the field and long driving trips. But, I carry it in the front, appendix carry, but with right hand draw from the left side. That way I didn't have a muzzle pointed at my own leg, or other precious parts, at any time. Real...

It's clean, and it seems like they've got decent QC. Shot it out of my MVP, was really hoping it would take to them. But, no. Couldn't get better than 1.5 moa out them. I'd consistently get 3 almost touching and then 2 fliers. They also shot 2 inches higher at 100 than any other ammo I ran...

Yep, that is a legitimate way to estimate wind speed. Not exact, but good enough for most applications. A method still taught by AMU instructors as well as in the Squad Designated Marksman course in the army.

I like the direction Cupp chose for this article. She believes that the feminist movement should be screaming herrsy about the denial of rights for women, and I agree. It shows the hypocrisy in many's belief about freedom with this, but no freedom with that. It will also hopefully spark some...

As it appears you were in the military, the safety feature of the AR allows you to cycle the weapon with the safety on, however the Army expects you to unsafe and squeeze the trigger when clearing. Kinda negates the logic of having a mechanical safety if your gonna squeeze the trigger anyway.

I found myself staring at my ceiling for hours trying to fall asleep hearing some of those noises after Iraq and the only peaceful sleep I got was by turning on my Xbox and having call of duty gunfire playing in the background. After Afghanistan I would sit on my couch in silence and just listen...

If your referring to the scene with his finger on the trigger in an exchange with his wife, while probably not something a SEAL would likely do, the scene was about the difference in personality and how far emotionally he had come since his time in the navy. That scene is absolutely relevant. I...

Handguns(m9) are not issued to every soldier. It's just not in the military's interest to buy one for everybody. Most e-4 and below in the army will hold one long enough to qualify at the range and clean it and turn it in. However, they are generally issued to vehicle crew members, senior...

Guns galore, the shop that the media highlighted over both ft hood shooters. I served in Iraq with the owners son. Owner is prior service too. Your probably not gonna find collector type stuff, but you'll get to see the "evil gun pushers" the media likes to mention for yourself

I,'ve got m&p vtac2 and its double firing and failing to eject second round and having light primer strikes. Sent it back to S&W they say they fired 60 rounds through it and had no issue. I haven't been able to get out to the range to see if it's still doing it. Previously had 16" bull barrel...

Just one tracer round will usually do it, you don't even have to hit the vehicle, jus t make sure the driver sees it. Cars stop pretty darn quick with that. :)

2000m from the hip, mind you the rounds were splashing around in a 50 m radius and probably only saw 3 or four hits without of an entire mag. Still impressive to do that with an AK at 2000 plus meters. I only know the range because he was just outside my mk19 max range of 2200m. But with terrain...

I have seen guys accurately engage people at ranges past 1000m with ak47's. I had a taliban fighter engage me from over 2000 firing from the hip managing to drop rounds all around my position. So factory specs, manuals and doctrine that says effective range dont mean much to me. Know your...

Oh, I'm sure they did on many an occasion. I probably got a whole lot of "cuz that's what you're told to do" too. But with privates, it's in one ear and out the other with most everything told to you. It's when the lesson sinks in the hard way when privates generally tend to "get it". Myself...

I thought it was pretty silly my first year in the Army, spend an entire day cleaning just one little m4, then turn it in, only to pull it out the next day and do it again all day. Then, when I deployed to Iraq, it all hit me. I knew every nook and cranny of my weapon, all of my weapons. I knew...

So wanted to let folks in the Colorado Springs area, and from what it sounded like, there are others in other cities, about U.S. Virtual Training Center. For the prior service guys, think of it as the new and improved EST 2000. It's cordless and uses co2 for recoil. For everyone else: I...

There are full auto and burst fire variants in both the M4 and M16 line. The military is currently using burst fire variants, but the army has an order for 120,000 M4A1s which are full auto. The M16A1 and A3 are full auto as well.

Got a crossdraw holster that sits at 45 degree angle so it works real well as an appendix holster too. Mernickle leather\holsters, can't remember their name. I just know its Mernickle. Great folks, and it only took a about 3 weeks to get it. 120ish with tax and shipping. Look in the field carry...

When I was in Iraq, I got designated as the troop "sniper/marksman". Given that this was a cavalry troop and we don't use snipers much there wasn't a lot of support for it. I got handed an m24, m14(synthetic plaino stock), and an m82a1. No spiffy ammo, just stuff I had to pull from belts, m80...

the concept behind this sight is that your brain will naturally align the sights easier and quicker by having "imaginary" crosshairs subconsciously used by the brain from the diamond shape, thus allowing you to center the front post easier. Don't know if it actually works, but it's an...
