    Body Armor?

    Oh it's not even close, I've got 50+ orders with PSA over 7-8 years. I've had a shipping issues once, and 2 warranty issues. Every order I made with Botach never shipped, and when I called them, I end up telling them I'm just gonna come get it in person. Twice it wasn't even in stock, and I...

    Body Armor?

    Botach often has major shipping issues. I still buy from them, but only because I pickup orders in person.

    Hellcat primer drag?

    I get the same with my hellcat, and both my XD9sc, and one of the XD9 has had thousands of rounds through it. I think most pistols this short are going to do this to some degree. Also, the hellcat striker is shaped differently than most, it's got more of a spear point, I'm not sure how that...

    Let's talk about uppers shall we?

    As someone who's built a lot of PSA rifles. It's kind of a roll of a dice what you'll get regarding BCG. If you're lucky you'll end up with a toolcraft, with a MPI/HPT c158 bolt. Which will likely be as good as anything the higher tiers are offering. If not, you'll get some mystery BCG. They...

    US Army Invents New Heavy Barrel for M4

    I've wondered why more haven't adopted POF's barrel nut heatsink approach.

    AR "lack of accuracy" and CMP style shooting?

    I think there are just too many variables that affect a particular AR's accuracy. But when those variables are right, 1moa or better accuracy is totally possible. First time I've ever shot a sub moa group was with my 20" 224 valkyrie build, and it was shooting the cheapest ammo available in that...

    Talk about ammo gouging

    It's been the opposite for me, hard to find training ammo at a decent price. But I've found hollow points at pre-covid prices a number of times.

    Bank of America Gave “Weapon-Related” Purchase Data to the Feds

    I wonder why no firearms retailers have implemented paying for purchases with bitcoin, or Ethereum. This is going to be an issue with all banks in the future.

    Talk about ammo gouging

    That's the "new normal", I've personally been buying ammo through private sales. They're still gouging, but way less than retail, and online stores.

    Hellcat Purchase

    Odds are it's going to be fine out of box. But the possibility of receiving a lemon is always there. Personally, I shot about 500 rounds over 2 months before I was comfortable enough to replace my edc with the hellcat. I probably would've shot it more, if ammo were more affordable. I carry it...

    Body Armor?

    I would probably avoid something like this, as imo one of the advantages of soft armor over hard armor, is greater coverage. Though something like this will likely be more comfortable with the right carrier.

    Ruger’s New MAX-9 Micro-Compact Carries 12+1

    Hopefully these new options spur Sig into offering the non XL p365 with an optics cut.

    Body Armor?

    Sounds like concealable soft armor is most suitable for your use. As mentioned, it'll only be suitable against handgun threats, and will probably fail against handgun rounds like a 5.7x28. Wearing one daily for extended periods of time is not going to be comfortable period. Worn properly, it'll...

    When Money Is Worthless: Barter Economy Prepping

    I think the biggest issue with cash is it's simply constantly losing value, and current political climate is accelerating that. Sure, it may never become worthless, but it's already requiring more of it for basic necessities like food. Everyone I know, myself included has been moving their cash...

    What Ammo do You Carry and Why?

    9mm Federal HST 147gr (this been my carry for years) 9mm Super Vel 115gr+P SCHP (I discovered these recently, and wanted to support local business)

    What is "Point Blank Range"?

    My LE friend told me they consider "point blank range", when it's close enough the victim will have powder residue on them. It's about 3', like part of confirming a suicide for example would be checking for powder residue around the GSW.

    Revolvers vs. Semi-Automatic Handguns

    My best friend used to be LE, and he told me most criminals, at least the smart ones, still prefer revolvers, because they leave behind less evidence. It's also much harder to match a spent shell to a revolver than a semi auto.

    Any thoughts on Walther's new PDP?

    The glock19 was the CCW benchmark for a long time. But it has long fallen by the way side as a dominant CCW choice primarily due to size and weight compared to other option, even from glock's own line. The PDP is essentially an updated answer to the glock19. People who still carry such a size...
