Re: Rossi R95 Lever-Action

Because coincidences are all around us, a few hours before you posted yesterday I got this in email from Brownells: https://www.brownells.com/promotions/contest/ . One week left to register for a tricked-out version of your Rossi. I have no lever action rifles, so with the odds about like being stru...

Re: Seeking Holosun Advice

Many thanks, TAM. Jose: Yeah; I'm kinda expecting to be in a potentially trial-and-error area with adapter plates and desired cowitnessing for "irons." But at least changing an adapter plate or the factory iron sights will be a lot less expensive than spending $500 on the wrong optic. :???:

5 Minutes with Rob Leatham

This one was posted over 7 years ago, and it's reminiscent of the way Vince Lombardi used to start off every new season by holding up a pigskin in the first team meeting and saying, "This is a football." Always start with, go back to, and train the fundamentals. There's often an "us v...

Re: Seeking Holosun Advice

To make life a little more complicated, I found this site last night: https://www.badassoptic.com/holosun-507c-vs-509t-x2/ In their testing they noted: "The core difference is that the 509T features a 0.5 MOA / Click adjustment while the Holosun 507C only features 1 MOA / Click adjustment."...

Re: Seeking Holosun Advice

My son carries a G43X with a Holosun on it. I’ll ask him which one he uses, because it should fit your 48. Yep; exactly the same RMSc footprint. I appreciate it. And do I remember correctly that you made the EDC switch some years ago from 1911 to Glock 9mm? I haven't carried IWB in a long time, but...

Re: Seeking Holosun Advice

I have the Holosun 407 x2 on my 48. I went with the Green. Love it. As for mags, I have started using the PSA MicroDagger 15 round mags and after about 500 rounds have not had any issues with them. Thanks for that. I didn't know about the PSA magazines . A couple of the reviews were sort of mixed, ...

Removed to where, exactly? Does Kentucky have some 200,00...

Re: Seeking Holosun Advice

Rapid response! Thanks, guys!

Jose, that link to Freedom Gorilla is spectacularly helpful. I wish my Googling had found it. It even includes some installation info (like I'd need to buy different screws for the best fit) that I'd never have known about otherwise.

Seeking Holosun Advice

I've decided to make big changes to my EDC. I'm going to 9mm, which has never been a standard carry for me, I'm moving to appendix carry, and I want an optic from the get-go. I've settled on the gun, a G48 Gen 5 MOS. It ended up being between that and a SIG 365XL, but the SIG felt just a little too ...

Re: Book Review: The Art Of Modern Gunfighting

I haven't seen Volume 2. Amazon doesn't show any other books by Scott. It's hard work writing a book, so that may have slowed down his plans for a sequel. I'm betting the sequel was most likely to have addressed shotguns and rifles, maybe even small-team tactics since he had done a pretty good job ...

Re: Book Review: The Art Of Modern Gunfighting

Paladin: I nabbed that book a couple of years ago. Mine's a 2012 publication, 2nd edition. Do you know if there was ever a "Volume 2" since this one is subtitled "The Pistol: Volume 1"? I don't want to dissuade anyone from the book--it's excellent--but what made me an immediate k...
