    Anybody got an online store they like?

     

    I am thinking of buying a 3 inch spyderco of some sort. 

     

    Carried small knifes for years but ended up with a 3" old timer that has served me well, but I think something with a flatter handle might be nice and it is so fun to flip the spyderco style knife blade out.

    I got my delica4 from Amazon

    Heard the same thing.  do you know which model flashlight it was? @Qawee

    I have seen photos of the larger one (pl2 I think is the model) which have exploded but if you search Google for "exploding olight" i found a guy on reddit who claims his mini blew up while he was shooting it, but there were no pics of that one

    I’ve seen quite a few pistols posted here with red dot sights on the slide.

    Admittedly, I know nothing about them. I do go to an outdoor public range on occasion, but it’s not usually a social event or atmosphere. That being the case, I’ve never seen one in person. So what’s the deal? Do you have to have your slide modified? I thought briefly about getting a G19.5 MOS - that would allow a red dot, yes? Once you add a red dot, can you still use the iron sights?  Do people use them for carry guns? Do you have to switch them on when you draw? What is the actual benefit of a red dot over iron sights? Are they useful at night? I’ve looked a few up online and they look to be expensive. I’m assuming this is one of those “you get what you pay for” things.

    Some info or pointers to a good site to get info would be appreciated. I may never get one, but I’d like to know more about them.

    You can get your regular slide milled to accept one or you can buy an aftermarket slide, brownells sells gen3 glock slides milled to take trijicon rmr. Many people carry them. Glock MOS is a good solution so you're not married to a specific optic footprint, but you should get an aftermarket mounting plate either by CHPWS or forward controls designs for best results. Generally holosun and trijicon are the most widely used, aimpoint has the acro optic which is nice but doesn't have great battery life. I've got a holosun 507, it has a shake awake feature which will turn it on when it moves otherwise you can keep it on all the time. Battery life on the holosuns and trijicons are in the 10s of thousands of hours 

     

    Edit: full disclosure I have my holosun on a brownells slide but have not shot it yet. I have suppressor height sights on it so if the optic goes down you can still see the sights through the optic window

    Nice piece but be careful with those olights, I've heard of some exploding 😔

  5. My dad had symptoms on saturday but nothing since then, hes currently waiting on test results, I saw him 5 days prior to that so planning on going to a testing site tomorrow to get tested, but I just saw a video of a local testing site which looked fucking crazy, people standing mad close to each other and a dude with his mask pulled around his chin, if shit looks like that when i get there i'll just try and go with one of the mail order options.

    International shipping is weird to me man. Theres some one with their hand out every step of the way.

    Seems though when you have enough juice you should be able to negotiate that down, even getting to where you can split costs. probably more difficult when you're just starting out though

  7. I definitely fuck with the vision! You might want to think about other colors for the t-shirts imo, i am always leary about wearing my white shirts because i know I'm eventually going to spill coffee/burbon/ketchup on them. Curious to hear what others think

  8. On the subject of goretex I love arcteryx stuff, from the regular line to LEAF to Veilance. I would like to get a beta sv or AR jacket but none of their colorways have been super appealing as something different. I saw this on reddit today which I thought looked great which I believe is a beta SL, i dont think those are as durable as some of the higher end models unfortunately
