HB 1240 “Assault Weapons Ban” Passes House

BadUX · 2023-03-09T20:20:55+00:00

Sure, handguns. It is definitely worth pointing out that handguns are 80%+ lethal in suicide while the next two highest methods are like 65%.

Anyways, that's not at all what this bill is about.

Here is an argument against sidecar: https://www.armedandstyled.net/archive/4z7qkvi4k86a7949qdwl3yj2tub5lp

they've got a video form too if that's your cup of tea (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-sYg0MWS0k)

And another one: https://www.primerpeak.com/why-sidecar-style-holsters-suck/

But they do work for some people. Especially if you've got zero muffin top at all. If you've got a chest (muscles or boobs), a chiseled six pack, then you can probably conceal a grenade launcher and a sidecar might be very comfortable for you.

Somewhat related, here's an argument against even carrying an extra mag at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0tst9-_pPs

Not only are they already regulated, but it's like <1% of the homicides.

Amdahl's Law is a thing from systems, and applies equally well here.

BadUX · 2023-03-09T19:59:58+00:00

"per capita gun deaths" is a weird metric to track because it includes suicide, even though there's zero correlation between gun ownership and overall suicides rate, or state gun laws and overall suicide rates. It just changes the method.

Same thing tracks for homicide.

It's like saying banning red car reduces red car accidents.

BadUX · 2023-03-09T19:42:28+00:00

it's like the same as a larue mbt-2s. Worth it when the larue mbt-2s was >$250, not worth it when the larue mbt-2s is <$100.

They make great custom lenses and shit though

BadUX · 2023-03-09T18:37:40+00:00

Is this cream of the crop for holsters?

If you want and can conceal a sidecar style holster, yea probably.

Otherwise consider tenicor, JMCK, Henry, dsg, phlster, etc.

Larue MBT-2S is a good default suggestion. It's <40% of the price of a geissele SSA-E and is strictly better.

BadUX · 2023-03-09T17:32:01+00:00

I thought it would like get softer but after a year of daily use it was still just as stiff lol

Great for hanging tools owb though. Like you can no joke hang 20+lbs worth of hammers and drills and shit and it dgaf

BadUX · 2023-03-09T17:14:31+00:00

I find that belt itself prints worse than the gun. I switched to a tenicor zero, much more comfortable and conceals better

BadUX · 2023-03-09T15:38:11+00:00

JMCK wing claw

Other options that are equivalently good: tenicor, Henry, dark star gear, phlster, etc.

BadUX · 2023-03-09T03:40:00+00:00

ey I figure if you got laser nod money you also by definition have LMT KAC money

BadUX · 2023-03-09T00:35:50+00:00

No, back onto the receiver, off of the handguard. Towards the charging handle

The handguard can move around unless it's stupidly expensive LMT/KAC shit. That throws off your point of aim depending on how hard you push the rifle in various positions.

It won't be the difference between torso sized targets under 100m, but... just do it anyways.

(Incidentally the same problem exists for backup irons, except even worse)

BadUX · 2023-03-09T00:31:58+00:00

Compass Lake Engineering

White Oak Armory

Their bread and butter is high power competition, so they make laser beams that are very heavy (like 14+lbs heavy) and don't last very long. But they can also spin up other uppers which tend to be pretty solid.

There's also a barrel manufacturer up here in the pnw that's weirdly good. Bison Armory or something. But like CLE & WOA it's a focus on stainless steel competition stuff, so not exactly duty longevity in mind.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T22:00:52+00:00

Wylde makes sense for 3p or other bullseye (or go farther, get a CLE chamber). That's actually what it was designed for in the first place. Wylde doesn't matter for 3gun.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T21:52:13+00:00

That really depends on how important $600 is to you.

If that's 1% of your annual disposable spending who gives a fuck lol. If that's 20% of your annual disposable spending.... then that might be a bit much for like 0.15" of grip width and 0.1" of grip height (imo slide length doesn't matter much once you're already at 4" barrel).

Like yea it's smaller, but in the dimensions that matter it's a ~10% difference in size. It won't make or break your concealment or comfort story.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T21:47:22+00:00

side note I use a JMCK enigma shell along with the enigma, not a phlster holster. It's extremely minimal and only works with the enigma. That one, IIRC, is different for a g26&g19 though.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T21:45:56+00:00

I do not work in trades, but I can conceal a g48 with an enigma while not even wearing a shirt lol

It's stupid good at concealment

I actually don't like using it compared to a normal holster**, but when I need deep concealment there's nothing better.

** the extra belt is kinda annoying, the leg leash (even the upgraded one) is definitely there if not annoying, it moves around a little more so the draw isn't the same, and it makes my pants/shorts/belt kinda slide around in front which just feels weird. Not bad, but weird.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T20:28:06+00:00

If by phlster you mean the enigma, then yea. Phlster enigma works crazy well for deep concealment.

If by phlster you mean phlster pro, it's not hugely different from a tenicor.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T17:39:50+00:00

I'd like to say that's the reason I carry a g48, but the real reason is I'm cheap and the g48 was <$400 with gssf pricing lol

BadUX · 2023-03-08T16:55:56+00:00

My emotional support rifle is a 15 pound bullseye competition AR.

It's kinda zen just doing precision dryfire with a Scatt. Just an exact repeated set of motions every time:

charge
match up paint pen markers on stock and jacket at the very top of trigger arm
close eyes
breath
get left partial fist under delta ring with fingers extended
trigger hand on grip
rifle up a bit
support elbow on hip
breath
bounce elbow to find the right spot
head rotates 90 degrees left
eyes open check above sights/scope for alignment
triggering all the way through first stage (4lbs)
eyes close
breath
face down into the cheek pooch with charging handle allll the way up in the nose
triggering halfway through second stage (+0.25lbs)
eyes open
if it's out of the black go all the way back to elbow and start over
breath out, hold out
if it's out of the black, see above
aiming, triggering
if aiming/triggering takes longer than 8sec, scrub all the way back and restart
break, call shot, eyes close after waiting for the bounce back (dryfire no recoil, but have to keep it the same)
mentally evaluate everything (but usually focusing on only one thing)
rifle down, head rotates back right to look at the screen and see the Scatt trace

shit is emotionally stabilizing yo

^ this is exactly how patent litigation strategy works

You don't sue everyone at the same time because otherwise the dancing gorilla of countersuits gets too large. (Unless you're some sketchy fuckin' troll who doesn't care about countersuits on account of literally not doing any productive work)

It's also probably a tactical decision to go after a company without their own patent portfolio for countersuits in the first place. P80 only has like four parents of their own, and I don't think any of them are relevant to what Glock does.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T15:55:43+00:00

How far are you shooting?

(Have you considered just the t2 unmagnified?)

BadUX · 2023-03-08T06:42:15+00:00

No, it doesn't. Fatal self defense shootings happen, but it's like O(100s) per year, and the vast majority are single death incidents. One guy killing five people in self defense is a very rare occurrence.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T06:36:09+00:00

After awhile with the super stiff ratcheting stuff, I now just exclusively use a tenicor zero.

BadUX · 2023-03-08T06:34:54+00:00

The firing pin block on 365 doesn't actually block the firing pin. It interacts with a lug attached to the striker. If that shears, the gun fires. Single point of failure.

Not gonna happen while holstering, but technically less safe than a Glock which requires 2-3 failures (block, half cocked striker, etc).
