I didn't realize they went modular with these now, that's incredible. -
As I said, with enough training, ya know, like the kinda training a SF team gets, haha. My original comment itself was meant to be a joke. Reasons why I said, can be about as fast, even then, it doesn't beat condition one. I've seen numerous videos, and there was once a nice video that I could find where someone took some footage of the then fastest Israeli team and compared it to a low level IDPA match with slow motion. Shot times were faster with novice IDPA shooters by more than half a second on average than the fastest recorded condition three shot times at the time of the video.

Oh so pass it off to "user error" huh? What s shameful twist. Sig might as well start releasing videos on how to carry condition three. Don't get me wrong, with enough time and training, condition three or aka "Israeli carry" can be about as fast as a loaded chamber, and with the right technique does more to put someone in the mindset of moving out of the firing lane of an opposing target.

Gas tube lengths are available in 4 different sizes, pistol, carbine, mid length, and rifle. Couple things to consider when choosing what best suits your needs 1) barrel length, 2) what round your AR is using, such as 5.56 vs .223, 5.56 puts out more gas. 3) is it canned? There's a helpful diagram available with just a short Google that helps a lot.

What Ammo do you have in your HD AR mags?
scatman replied to 22lr's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I hand loaded my HDs, If barrel is shorter than 14", Hornady V-max for 5.56/.223 loads. I had a 7.5" setup, I now have a 20", that would deliver devastating results on gel, at 10-200 yards without over penetration, I worked up a similar load on my brother's 14.5", and my dad's 18". I eventually traded up to .300 blackout for my setup and use their sub-x projectiles as well as the V-max projectiles. Reasons for trading out setups is I also own an AR-10 and Rem 700 in .308, since I load, it made sense to trade out setups and only have to buy .308 projectiles for those setups and lock up the 5.56. -
Personally, if it's just a range toy, and you're not looking to add a bunch of stuff, get a plain 92. You won't be disappointed, from there you can figure out more of what you desire in the platform, and then down the line pick up one of the more "fancier" models.

I've done some ballistic testing with 5.7 on my own and done comparisons to other rounds, imo 5.7 is great for a precisely placed shot, but it's a round that is very projectile type dependent, the newer generations of FN's models have been greatly improved, but I feel the original 1st gen had the best size for edc, though it lacked on many other aspects, rough trigger, not so smooth pull. S&W's M&P 5.7 is actually a great competitor to the market, it boasts a slim design that allows a firm grip even for those with smaller hands. I like their frame design over Ruger's, but due to the M&P's newness, it doesn't have much aftermarket as opposed to Ruger's or the FN. New gen FN models come optic ready as well, which makes their current price point compared to other 5.7's much more appealing. In total, here's my advice, find a place that has either or, if not both, and shoot both an FN and S&W model. Outside of all that, I still carry my Kimber Ultra in .45 every day because she's never let me down and I've never heard a story of a guy taking multiple rounds of .45 and still be standing, just saying.

I'd like to add a note to this video, Nighthawk 1911s and 2011s, along with most other 2011 designs, don't have a firing pin safety, like series 80 Colts and series II Kimbers, so seeing them go off due to being dropped isn't that surprising.

FRT's to my knowledge are currently not banned by the ATF, but I have heard rumors they are "flagged" by them, meaning they're keeping track of who is buying, where they're being shipped, and how many are ordered, I'm not exactly sure how true these rumors are, but with the previous administration's attack on 2A it wouldn't surprise me if it was occurring.

Negative, there hasn't been any issues with the 365, I attribute this to them building that design from the ground up, and not just taking one frame, literally the 250/320 frames are interchangeable, and converting it to striker fired.

The manual safety isn't the end all solution, there's been a confirmed report of AD in the military since they've been issued, involving a Sgt. in the Army, with another dozen or so "unconfirmed" reports as well that are currently under investigation throughout the other branches. Sure there is room for negligence, holster could've pushed the safety off during re-holstering, and then unwanted pressure on the trigger, a lot of people seem to be attempting to blame holsters as the main issue, but I've carrying for 8 years, all manner of handguns and carry platforms, even made my own holsters for awhile, without issues, the simple fact is, Sig took the 320 design from the 250 platform, took away the hammer fire action and replaced it with a striker fired one, and made no safety precautions while doing so. The first run of the 320 was proven to drop fire, not just by civilians, but also gun professionals, cops, and the military. The military proving this is what caused Sig to do the whole "upgrade" thing where if you sent it back they'd make it "drop-safe." Then for military trials they needed to incorporate a manual safety. Cue Sig's design team, doing the bare minimum. It's very sad to see them come from a company that produced the 226 and it's many proven variants, as well as some of the earliest advancements in handgun design along with CZ, HK, and Walther, to making a design that can't compete with a gen2 Glock in terms of reliability.
