trijicon

Alright….Jason from BigDawg Tactical hooked me up with this rig and it arrived today. I immediately took it to the range for some testin’.

First off I’ve owned TA31’s, TA11’s, Trujicon Compact ACOG’s, Aimpoints, EoTechs, and a few variable scopes in between. I recently decided to ‘dumb down’ my AR’s to make them SHTF ready, rugged, and obnoxiously easy to use. Flip the safety to "fire" and go. Given the TA33R8’s BDC feature, BAC feature, chevron reticule, and overall lightweight construction, THIS is the only magnified optic for me! It’s like a TA31 hooked up with a TA50 one wild saucy night and conceived an illegitimate child!

Beretta 92 Magazine

‘ve been looking for a blued Beretta 92 Magazine (80’s production). I have read reports and "talk" about the locking block being prone to breakage. I’m not a high volume shooter and have always been interested in getting a Beretta 92F.

I’d like some feedback from users here about there first hand experience with the Beretta 92 Magazines. I’m not looking for a pistol that will last 100,000. I just need to know that it won’t have a cracked slide or something after a thousand rounds.

he locking block issues seem to only occur with VERY high volume shooters, and even then it’s not like it’s super common.
If the beretta couldn’t go 1,000 rounds without failures, the army wouldn’t be issuing them to their special forces, PERIOD. Beretta’s have a good reputation for reliability, buy with confidence

He’s an instructor at Magpul Dynamics.

I doubt he would say he has any claim to fame, just a guy with some skills that likes to teach them to people and happens to be very good at it.

Trijicon

At first I was hesitant about the smaller Trijicon but now that I’ve tried it out - I completely get it. This scope is SO much easier and I can see myself being ‘faster’ with this ACOG than I could be with any other. Beyond that Trijicon, I’m sure the BDC feature will prove itself useful and entertaining when time permits.

Eotech

Bluedog,

I appreciate you taking the time to post that. Now I know for sure the 3 components will not fit together on a 6920.

Mind you….."DEBORAH" and "JOHN" OVER THERE AT EOTECH CLAIMED THIS WOULD WORK.

But, I was on the phone with her and was suspicious of the validity of what I was hearing because she didn’t even know what the 517 looked like. (I had to explain to her that unlike the 512, the 517 was recessed to fit over an M4 handguard) When she had to relay my question to some guy named "John" in the background who never got on the phone, but told her "Yea, it’ll fit", I didn’t take it seriously! I WASN’T BORN YESTERDAY TO NOT BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE WHEN I’M DEALING WITH INEPT OR INCOHERENT PEOPLE!

Man am I PISSED WITH THAT COMPANIE’S LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Thanks again for your time and help.

AK-47

I have a Kvar set with the standard length that I am getting ready to install. It appears to be good quality, but the standard/short stock is really short. It was designed for smaller people who may be wearing heavy coats and AK-47 (think Chicom style chest rigs).

beretta mini-cougar magazines

Like JohnStoner, I have two M9A1s with beretta mini-cougar magazines. Accuracy, reliability, and totally dependable in all weather- snow, rain, dry, heat and dust- whatever, NEVER a problem. About 4,500 rounds fired between the two of them. I’ve retired my Kimber 1911s, in favor of my Berettas. The Kimbers are strictly for loan WHEN TSHTF… The M9A1 is my "go to" handgun, and unlikely to change.

Yeah, you want two. One for each hand. That gives you forty-two shots before reloading, and two different direcions to shoot… Easy with a 9mm, but try it sometime with a pair of 9.5" Ruger Super Redhawks! I have, but I’ll stick with the M9A1’s, thanks… In all seriousness, the 9mm with the proper ammo, AND proper placement, is just as well going to take-out the trash, as my dusty Kimber Beretta 92 Magazine. I won’t change back- no reason to.

Nope, the M9A1 is the choice of the Marine Embassy Security Details, and my choice as well… So too, are the Mec-Gar 20rd Anti-Friction Coated magazines, and the Pro-Mag 33rd Beretta 21Magazines, though I load only 32 in mine… Both magazines fit both of my CX4 Storms perfectly…

rparrish, I use Gold Dots, both 124gr and 147gr, and know that whatever I hit, is going to go d-o-w-n… Having 21 rounds in either gun, makes for a warm feeling… I can’t really imagine a "real life" scenario for using 32rd magazines, but WHEN the SHTF, who knows? Having interchangable magazines with the CX4s, is a "good" thing…

To those who would try to compare the 1911 to the M9A1, I’d say, "beretta mini-cougar magazines, to yah, Buddy!" and "Why have only 11, with a Chip McCormick mag, when you can have 21?" Nah, that’d be petty. As I say, mine, my Kimber 1911s are now for loan-out when the SHTF… My best, I’m keeping for myself…

Rifle Scopes

I remember the thread unvieling the Rifle Scopes. most of Arfcom supported the man in his endeavor. I remember SMGLee supporting him enthusiastically which carries some weight apparently. Back when SMG was trumpeting EOtech and the masses lined up to fellate L3 there were a few who said "I dont like EOTech" while flamed roundly time vindicates us all. Similar story with this scope. Many of us wanted to like it but i remember a lot of people saying "please dont have it made in china"

The truth is, it is horrendously overpriced considering its the nicest NCStar you ever saw. I would have liked to have seen him license his awesome reticle to a reputable company instead of going with the Rifle Scope.

Lack of support
Seems to be a trend for the anti-gunners. Someone staged a gun buyback. But had it turned into a giveback because organizers were hoping to collect $5,000 to $10,000 in donations, but the money never materialized.

Despite Ruling, Washington Council Still Attacking the Second Amendment
Nearly six months after the Supreme Court put an end to the District of Columbia’s decades-old ban on handgun possession, the City Council here passed a sweeping new ordinance on Tuesday to regulate gun ownership. The legislation would require all gun owners to receive five hours of safety training and to register their firearms every three years. In addition, they would have to undergo a criminal background check every six years.

M4/M4A1 Carbine Reliability Issues: Why They Occur, and Why They’re Our Fault!

I fired 15,000 rounds through a semi-automatic M4/M4A1-type direct-gas-impingement (DGI) carbine in 31 weeks without a single malfunction attributable to anything except bad ammunition or bad magazines, with a grand total of 9 malfunctions. The least number of rounds fired between cleanings was 960 rounds, and the only parts replaced were gas rings at 8,860 rounds. And you can, too.
