It shouldn't, but probably depends on the mood of whoever receives your firearms sent in for warranty. I own a s&w m&p 15-22, that had a factory headspace issue recall. Two years before the recall was officially announced, I blew up the bolt due to an out of battery detonation. S&W repaired my...

I want one of these, but I have a hard time justifying guns like this. I know I'm not going to carry it, and especially not suppressed. Author admits he went months with it without even owning a holster for it. I already own a XD9 4" with threaded barrel, and suppressor sights. It's been solely...

Yea, not a big deal if you're building DIY like I am. But for a factory gun, with a factory warranty, it's an oversight.

Gun collection goals

I'm building a 7.5" AR right now, I'm surprised 5.5" barrels are even available, had a hard time just finding 7.5" in stock. I thought about going with the Maxim cqb brace, but didn't want to mess with non standard BCG. Anyway, weapons like this fill a very specific niche. A vehicle gun, with...

I'm in Vegas, I get my gas from Sam's club, which somehow always manages to be $0.25-50 less than everywhere else. As a result, there's always lines, even last year when gas went under $2, there were lines. I went today to top off just in case. Same line as always, and price was same as my last...

There's a trick to shooting tight groups at 100 yards with an un-magified red dot. What you do is look through a rear backup iron sight, aim with the dot through the small aperture. The dot should be finer, and sharper. With good trigger and breath control, you can get really close to scoped...

You make a good point, regarding a gun safe needs to be layered with an alarm system. But my original point was, bolting down a residential security container type "safe", into a corner, with door opening facing a wall, adds a significant amount of time to the brute force method. The video was...

I went on a cruise vacation in the FL keys 2 years ago, coast guard came out to meet our ship in the open waters, and escort to dock. At the dock, they were practicing these maneuvers.

ffwd to the 5:00 mark. I guaranteed it will given enough time and effort

My electronic lock has a mechanical key backup. My other safe is a mechanical lock. The most common way of beating these entry level safes is not with fancy tools, and special skills. It's just using brute force, and prying them open with large pry bars. That why bolting these things down in a...

I'm working on a similar build atm. 7.5" barrel, gonna use a QD muzzle brake with QD blastcan, so I keep suppressor compatibility. I'm thinking of using a Romeo 5, with the low mount. Building it as a vehicle gun, so trying to minimize snagging on steering wheel.

I get the same sight picture with a Romeo Zero.

Huge chunk of a cost of a gun safe is the shipping. So the best deal is going to be what you can find local to you. I recently bought a Vital Impact from Sportsman's Warehouse for my mom, and I was impressed by what you get for $300. IME, they're heavier, and nicer built than the Harbor Freight...

I'm partial to the streamlight TLR-6. Do you have a holster supplier in mind already? I would start there when looking at options. If you opt for kydex holsters, the light you choose becomes the retention device.

The heat? Oh it varies from might need gloves to shoot, to hell on earth. The pictures were taken in Jan 2021, probably around 60s, but the sun will still burn you. In the summer months, I'll bring a cooler of coconut water, and a small vial of pink salt. I learned the hard way couple years ago...

I went shooting with a friend last month, who brought a derringer that fired two 410 shotshells with one trigger pull. My strong hand went numb from firing that thing.

I carried a 3" XD9 for years, before replacing it with my hellcat early this year. The increased recoil affected my shooting at first noticeably. But now, I shoot the hellcat just as well, if not better as I didn't run an optic on the XD. I can't see myself going back to carrying the XD now. The...

I rarely go to indoor ranges nowadays as well. Usually only because I've come into possession of gift cards for one of the tourist ranges. Or my wife wants to shoot, but doesn't want to be in the heat. The private range I like to go to is this one. It's only open to veterans and active service...

Looks like I am. But still lots of reports of the WASP choosing too dim a setting. Which is still a deal breaker for me personally. As I shoot in bright daylight, and regularly go to an outdoor night range, as well as an indoor range. The Romeo Zero is bright enough I can use it in bright...
