  1. My RMR Type 2 arrived yesterday, looking forward to testing as soon as I can remove the rear sight. My experience is when I reach about 15+ yards, my sights are so large, the POI is covered, so precision is a greater challenge. Will the glass fog, break and batteries die at the worst possible moment, of course. I haven't read a volume of reports of failed dots in gun fights, but hey, I carry a second pistol, so I can overcome mechanical dot or firearm failure.

  2. I've had an extra Anderson Lower receiver and PSA lower Parts Kit, as well as a generic carry handle laying around here for quite some time. I decided I'd order one of these upper receivers from PSA. Bargain Basement Upper It showed up today, not quite a week after I ordered it, so I ran a patch through the bore, sprayed the BCG with oil, and gave it a go. I fired a couple of shots from about 20 yards offhand to verify where my sight were. That checked out ok, so I moved to the 100 yard bench. The only frill on this carbine is the ambi safety, as I an southpaw challenged. Here are the first 3 shots from the 100 yard bench. 2 clicks left, 1 click up, and I should be good to go. Ammo consisted of various range brass, bulk 55 grain 223 fmj projectiles, CCI small rifle primers, and a max charge of IMR 4320. This is a sample size of one, but based on my experience, I would recommend this particular upper. I haven't found the blemish.

  11. Beretta supplies 4 plates (Trijicon, Leupold, Burris, and C-More) with the RDO model. I was going to remount my Burris FF3 until Best Gun Buddy gifted me the RMR. While not a big deal right now in the journey, Beretta does not make suppressor height sights, assuming because the APX didn't catch on.

  12. I held the compact model yesterday, the texture and the ergos were perfect for me! The 800+ price tag scared me off. when prices return to normal and a 5” barrel is in stock I’ll get one.

  13. We have raised chickens for the past 6 years and they are not that much trouble. You can make it easy or hard. Clean water is a priority, they can last for days without food. I have had 2 batches of red sex links and they are superior layers. I currently have a small flock of Black copper marans and also a flock of Dominic's. Dominic's are considered the oldest breed of chickens in the U.S. As mentioned by others, most critters like chicken. Domestic dogs are the #1killer. Do some reading at backyard chickens they can answer any questions. A 8X8 coop is big enough, the run where they spend the day needs to be big enough that there isn't much fussing and fighting. I have a rooster of each breed and they are gentlemen, it amazes me how they look out for the girls. One thing I have learned to use pine shavings in the coop under the roost and it keeps cleaning up easy, smell down. Don't use cedar shavings as chickens are susceptible to breathing issues with it. PM me with any questions.

  15. Gun guru Jim Cirillo had a system he called silhouette point shooting. Here the gun was raised to eye level, pointed at the target. But you didn't use sights. Instead you focused on looking squarely at the back of the gun. The sides, bottom or top should not be visible. What this does is make sure that you are square with the target and the gun was square with you. Or simply put, the gun was pointed where you were looking. The man survived over a dozen gun fights. I tend to listen to his advice.

  16. TGO has unfortunately, from time to time, been visited by those who lack morals and ethics and would like to take advantage of the good graces and trusting nature of our fine members. This activity almost always seems to increase when social conditions are turbulent, especially if the turbulence is centered around the ability to find and buy guns or ammo. Lately we have had to boot a few people who were exhibiting suspicious behavior. We want you to be aware of this fact and to be sure to check a person's status on TGO before you commit to doing business with them as either the seller or the buyer. This is especially true if the other person encourages you to take communication with them "off the forum" and to email or some sort of instant messaging service. Before you buy or sell: Look to see whether they have have an active account or if they've been banned since you started talking to them. If you are going to meet to conduct business, do it during daylight hours and in a heavily trafficked, very public, neutral meeting place. Don't invite people to your home. Don't agree to meet people at theirs. MOST police and sheriff's stations have space at their parking lot where you can meet for selling and buying with strangers. Other good places are parking lots of busy business and in sight of their security cameras. Trust your gut instincts whether just when communicating online or meeting in person. If something feels "off" or "weird" - trust your gut. Feel free to involve me, @MacGyver, @Chucktshoes or one of the other moderators in a private conversation with the other party, or just contact us off to the side if you have concerns. Some of the suspicious activity that we've seen includes: People answering a Want To Buy ad claiming to have what you want, or that they know a friend or family member who does, and offering to broker an exchange between you and them. When it is fraudulent, this sort of thing often quickly becomes ridiculously complex and harder than it should be to do a simple transaction. Your warning senses should start tingling. We insist that people never list an item for sale for a friend on TGO for a reason. First Person is simpler, easier and often safer. People asking if you will ship a gun to them out of state or if you require proof of residency. Shipping a gun out of state always requires that you send it to an FFL in that state. An in-person buyer has to be a resident of your state. Again, heed your warning senses. People asking you to send money to them via PayPal "Friends and Family". Remember, first of all PayPal doesn't allow you to pay for guns and certain other things with their service. If you do and you get hosed on a deal, you may have no protection with PayPal. Second, sending money via Friends and Family saves the recipient a measly 3% charge but it also means you get zero protection via PayPal if the other person hoses you. Strangers insisting that they meet you after dark, or at a remote location, or at your house or theirs. This is a big NO. Don't do this. People asking if they can send a friend to pick up a gun from you instead of meeting you themselves. This is also a big NO. It can quickly become an illegal "straw purchase". Again, trust your gut instincts. You have them for a reason. It's safer to heed them and risk offending a person than it is to ignore them and end up the victim of a scam or worse. And always, always contact me, @MacGyver, @Chucktshoes or another moderator if you are concerned and just want a second opinion. We're glad to help. Stay safe out there!

  20. This would certainly get me run out on a rail in some circles - but I think it probably rounds to true. Good barbecue is about a good pitmaster. And while you can scale a business model and franchise all day long - good pitmasters don’t scale. So, you can have locations across chains that have widely varying quality of food. Mind you, any chain worth opening the doors ought to be able to do a decent pulled pork sandwich - but even that’s hard to do well when you do 150 shoulders a day. I can’t even count the times I’ve had brisket or ribs in some famous place and thought - mine is better than this. If they’ve got more than one location, it’s almost guaranteed. So, honestly if I’m eating in a chain, I’m often going to weight the sides in there as well. Sides are easier to scale up. If I’m eating in a place that I know has more than one location, it’s a pork sandwich and whatever your two best sides are. That’s the minimum bar - table stakes. If you can do that okay - I might come back and try something else. If you can’t - no hard feelings. Here in Nashville and over in Memphis, there’s no lack of tourists to eat your mediocre food and buy your shirts.

  23. UT. She states that she wants to be as far away from home as she can and since we are basically forcing her to do in-state because of cost, that is it. We are not going to pay for her to go to some out of state to get the same level of education but cost twice as much,. We are going to drive over if she is still insistent and let her drive the entire way there and back. I am hoping that that will press the point that if she needs anything or has to come home that it is a LONG drive. Going that far is not going to change the bad choices she made over the last few years either.

  25. Picked mine up today. It's everything it was hyped to be. Trigger is fantastic. Short clean break, definitive short reset, and light but consistent pull. Grip/ergonomics are phenomenal. Basically it took a great PPQ platform and accentuated all the good parts and made them even better. Have a Holosun 407c to mount as soon as I get the mount plate. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow!

  26. There was a thread. But no one cared it would appear. Or at least it lacked the panache of your posts that get folks to respond I picked a couple up, but I got the impression the folks here are more interested in PSA AR’s as more worthy of their time.

  30. No it's not going away unless the Chinese makes a more potent disease. Mighty suspicious to me that you rarely hear of the flu anymore? And since this chicom flu is going to be just like the common cold, there is no cure. The shot that people are taking won't cure this virus.

  31. Leroy, I remember those days as well. To get my first handgun permit (1992) I had to write a letter to the Sheriff explaining why I wanted a permit, take a class, be bonded and even then it was only good in my county. Getting it was left totally up to the Sheriff's desecration. Fortunately at the time, our Sheriff was pretty open minded about armed citizens. However, in many counties a handgun permit was impossible to get because the Sheriff was against it and rejected all applications. As for the Tennessee Sheriff's Association, these guys are politicians, not law men. Never expect them to side with the citizens or for that matter, their own rank and file officers. They're all about the power game.
