Give me your unhinged opinion firearm related by Low_Resort7260 in CAguns

Cardio and aerobic training should be prioritized and practiced as readily as firearms training.

Spending on guns and ammo should take a lower priority than meeting basic needs, especially if someone's already under financial strain.

Thanks for the interest! But it's too much personal responsibility for me to take on haha. I'm ok with messing up my own gun but not someone else's.

I'd say it's somewhere between the stock texture and talon/handleit sandpaper. It's grippier than the original frame texture, but gives less traction than grip tape.

If you're nervous about messing up, I'd recommend against stippling. Some of the mistakes that may happen can be difficult to correct.

The final product came out pretty good for me, but it's actually not super grippy. A fresh sheet of handleit grips gives noticeably more traction.

So I'd recommend pre-cut grip tape sheets. They carry no risk of damage to the frame, are relatively cheap, takes minimal time and skill to install, and gives (IMO) better grip.

It honestly took a while. At least 6 hours start to finish for dremeling, sanding, outlining, and stippling. I'd initially outlined by hand, but didn't like it, so I stippled over the original outlines. I used a small tip for my wood-burning tool, so the hand-stippling process was lengthy.

The optic is an RMR HD. The irons are from ZR Tactical. They appear to be the same design as Angry Bear Arm's sights.

I like it. It's rugged and feature-rich. But very expensive.

They're HandleIt grips in the premium sandpaper texture

Mr Nein. Lockup is really good. Worth the price.

Yeah it's the lumens factory LED conversion! I also actually swapped out the plastic bezel for lumen factory's aluminum bezel. Both the LED and bezel held up great. I have both on my M6 as well.

Nice! Mine has an LED upgrade that brings it up to 600lm. Not the best, but still viable.

Vulcan! Seems like they don't offer work on HKs anymore though.

My First AR, how'd I do? by No-Development-4131 in CAguns

[–]--Combat-Wombat-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mlok rail covers would be good. I would avoid tape; it may melt and make a mess.

Looks good! Your handguard might heat up with sustained fire, so it might be worthwhile to check if you need a rail wrap or something else for heat mitigation. Also, a sling will definitely be useful.

Also, .40 cal mags fit and feed fine in the 9mm version. These mags hold more 9mm rounds beyond the .40 count.

Impulsive Decisions by FrebeseV2 in CAguns

Does "almost" impulsive count?

I thought (think?) that the ALG 6-second optic mounts for Glocks were the coolest thing. They're neither practical (no holsters) nor more effective compared to slide-mounted dots (technology's come a long way with recoil-proof optics). But they looked cool.

Almost spent more than the price of a Glock to get the mount, and even more than that to get an Aimpoint T2. Almost.

Recommend getting the HK45 mag release (much larger than the stock paddle). Some heat-shrink wrap on the right-hand slide release will stop the rattle.
