Red dots are to pistols, what ducks are to Jeeps

Middle one is both ported and comp'ed.

Beautiful. I'm waiting for Vulcan to come out with their HD grip before I get my HD P4 ported and/or comp'd.

What is the camo you did on the left? Standard multicam or desert? Looks like desert but sometimes pics don't do it justice.

Not sure what it would be called, just had a guy I shoot with do it up for me.

Came out Nice though.

Bet you any one of the guys or girls at the training sessions that I go to would out shoot 94% of servicemen and LEO.

My husband and I took an Advanced Pistol Class last summer. We were the only ‘civilians’ in the class surrounded by law enforcement & various service men & women all decked out in their uniforms. We took the class with our little 3” barrel carry guns.

One of the guys said….”You guys shoot better than most of the people I work with”…….

Being able to shoot isn’t the hilarious part. Its acting like you are Johnny Combat Tacticool but will never be in a situation like that. I guess if roll playing is your thing, more power to ya

I equate it to weedheads that wake -n- bake, use all day, obsessing with the eventual legality and health benefits of the stuff while being completely enveloped in the Bob Marley gear and about the only thing they can talk about.

Delusional

I learned over the years to “Keep it simple stupid” and I will always be a shotgun guy, solidified by a guy I served down south with a few times named Thomas Daniel (Dan) Capel.

And with most people in the military being in support positions how is it that I have met more SEALS and SF since I have been out than when I was stationed at FT Bragg?

Because when on Bragg you needed to look for the button ups and flip flops. You wont see em in uniform.

That reminds me of getting ready to close out RUFMA. We had some, IIRC 19th group guys attached that were trying to turn in their vics without going through inspection. They come in wearing hawaiian shirts,shorts and flip flops, trying to cut line asking for the motor warrant so they could turn their vic in. Our motor warrant, a big burly farm boy CW4 ignored them because they weren't in uniform and were trying to cut line. Finally one of the SF guys pipes up and says "hey man, we need to turn in our vehicle! Dont you know who we are?!". Motor warrant turns around and at 6' 6" he towers the SF guy and barks back "I don't care who the fuck you are. This is my motorpool and you won't get any special treatment. Come back in uniform and wait in line like everyone else.", and walks away. Dudes came back in uniform and waited in line.

lol it's always like that. I train with a company that trains SWAT, LEO, military contractors, etc.. and most (not all) of those guys aren't up to the same standard as a civilian who does this stuff for fun.

When we do vehicle threat training classes, the cops are always the ones to shoot the training car. Mechanical offset and height over bore are lost concepts to many of them. lol

That's awesome man but true wisdom is learning that everyone has their own perspective and none of them are "wrong".. just different than you.

Calling people names about it or acting superior is immature.

The best weapon for your defense is the one you train frequently with.

Cosplay is a big deal to a certain demographic of fake tough guys.

Shotguns are great for home defense, but not at all concealable. Assuming you actually leave the house (and your vehicle) from time to time the pistol is the only option. I don't care if you choose a revolver, a compact, or a full size. Red dots and comps are functional and proven. If you're well trained and better without them and too lazy or old to learn then YOU are better off without them. Pretending everyone is is foolish at best. It makes you sound like the carburetor guys when I was a kid or the manual guys 15 years ago. Now the autos beat even the pro drivers both at the strip and in mpg during daily use... and at least in the Jeep case durability and reliability too. Times change and technology/tactics evolve. Doesn't mean you have to, but it doesn't make them less effective if you don't.

I can shoot like a #]^}^}}!~%| with irons, but I’m even better with a dot.

I’ll happily keep my dot.

Ducks are still stupid though.

Hey, I chuckled at the “wisdom” comment

Folks are free to have whatever perspective or hobby they want and I’m free to laugh at it

I’m at peace with my “wisdom”

 

[Rcoe]

As a retired GI its always hilarious to me folks always being TACTICOOL talking about ”tactical“, like gear clothing and courses…POSERS !

Reminds me of the weenies on a paint ball course.

Quite the condasending prick aren't you.

I served 12 years all infantry, I enjoy getting out shooting with like minded people. Most of the shooters I compete with are vets, active duty or law enforcement, who know the only way to stay sharp and get better is to train with people who are better than themselves they need to be pushed. Plus getting more people out to the range so maybe we have less people trying to take our rights away and getting some of the younger generation out to the range rather than playing video games is something we need more of.

We still have a couple old FUD's like you at my range but are slowly weeding them and their terrible attitudes about anything they don't understand or agree with. So sit back in your rocking chair with your 12ga like a typical FUD and part time internet tough guy saying things you would never say to us in real life.

I don’t care what others do.


Hope you don’t get as butt hurt over ducks Maam
