BigK started following Opinions on High End AR's

I worked at a REALLY cool IT shop about 12 yrs ago that was run by mostly vets. That being said, bringing "toys" to work to show off was not only welcome, it was encouraged. Seeing who could build an AR the cheapest was a fun game. One guy brought me a box of parts to assemble that literally cost him $279. It ran like crap no matter what I did to it, LOL. Another guy wanted to see how prissy an AR could be and brought me about $1300 worth of parts to assemble. In his defense it ran like a top and never had any problems, but jeez that's a lot of bucks for a DIY AR. Despite that one being so smooth, most of the $500 rifles ran just fine too. An adjustable gas block and a CHF barrel were the 2 parts that I feel affected performance and accuracy the most. A good trigger helps too, but discipline and some polishing can mostly overcome that. A crappy barrel or poor cycling, not so much.

I have three Daniel Defense AR's. 16" lightweight model, Mk18 and PDW in 300 blackout. All three are shot suppressed. I did have an issue with the 300 blackout caused by my laziness in cleaning, so it was very dirty. The issue was found by Daniel defense to be the trigger I installed, a cassette type unit that was very gunked up. I changed to a geissele and no further problems, but the warranty situation was some of the best customer service I have ever had. They were responsive and called me several times during the process letting me know what was going on. I even suggested that I should pay for the service since it was my fault and they said absolutely not. I'm happy with the Daniel Defense warranty department and their customer service, my other two have run flawlessly, although I do clean them a bit more often now. Another thing to keep in mind on higher tier guns is they have always seemed to retain more value in the long run, which is important to me, as I have a tendency to impulse purchase shiny objects and then end up with more than I can use or store.

There is finally something a person should stop carrying faster than USCCA insurance.

Trigger are was a little tight for my big digits. Galloway precision

Slingshot is the way to go. I have the same 92FS Compact. No problems at all. I always use slingshot. The only time I use the slide-stop is to hold open the slide.

Look like rabbit to me. I had to put chicken wire around my beds to keep them out. That won't work on the deer.

Since you brought it up. Yes, finger dicipline is of utmost importance especially when holstering. However, clothing, elastic tightners around the bottom of jackets also must be certain to be clear of holster. With any handgun, but especially those that have had trigger work, amatuer or professional and reduced pull weight it is important to use proper technique when reholstering appendix position. I see it all the time with IDPA. One should slightly flex the knees, forward thrust the pelvis and slowly and visually place the gun in the holster. That will angle the muzzle away from the body and feet in the event of a ND body parts will be missed. Sloppy and fast reholstering is a dangerous event.
