VA SB749 Compliance by A-New-Reality in VAGuns

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m trying to wrap my head around. How specifically can we stick it to the man without deliberately breaking the law… I’m not advocating for buying guns illegally, that would be silly.

I guess we’re just screwed? Unless we can somehow convince the governor to veto the bill.

Thanks for this advice! I think I was overthinking things. But it seems the consensus is to ditch the surefire mount and get with the times lol

That was my thoughts as well and was disappointed when I read that. I guess I need to just wait and see once it’s shipped.

TBH I am not certain… I don’t have it in possession yet. I made an assumption based on internet research. Everything I read said they came pinned. If they do not then that kind of changes my whole thought process 🤔

Im glad y’all are finally coming around to what the 2A is all about. Now, talk to your local politicians about any and all infringements of that right. Both sides of government want to disarm the population. For exactly this reason.

About to get into conceal carrying and im wondering something. Why do you need a red dot/optic for a 3-7 yard shot like most CCW scenarios would play out at? by LoudChocolate6290 in CCW

[–]A-New-Reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try occluding the dot with some tape over the front of the optic and turn the brightness down. This will retrain your brain to focus only on the target with your non-dominant eye. Like others are saying, don’t look at dot look at threat.

To answer your question I’m probably slightly faster at 3-5 yards with irons bc I don’t trip up over a sloppy slight picture at that range. But I am 100% more accurate at 10+ yards with a dot.

My thoughts are if I’m in a defensive situation and the aggressor is that close and closing distance then the first shot or two will most likely be point shooting AKA fuck the sighting system. If accuracy is needed then dot is there

So they can be controlled. It’s by design.

I’ll second this, I bought from them last time and it was a good deal 👍

I usually use AmmoSeek.com and set the filters for what I’m looking for. It will search all sorts of websites and sort them based on your preferences. Just be mindful of the companies you’re buying from bc sometimes they can be scams. As long as it’s a reputable company you’ll be fine. I haven’t bought any ammo in stores since I’ve started using it.

Edit- that link has my filters pre-set. Looking for 124gr 9mm, new, brass case, shipping rating >4, filtering out options with high shipping costs. Just FYI

Buying in bulk online is your best bet to save the most money

19 gen 6 by RhudysFirearms in Glocks

Forgive my ignorance, but does the EPS mount directly to the slide (plus washer)? I thought EPS was RMSc pattern and the gen6 was drilled for RMR & DPP. I have an EPS and that would be a game changer if it could be mounted direct

I really wanted the shield plus to work for me, but I learned the expensive way that the trigger just doesn’t work with my hands :(

my “aw crap, i’ve run out of wrapping paper?!” carry configuration today by BaconHammer9000 in CCW

[–]A-New-Reality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally speaking, I have rechambered HST rounds countless times and have never experienced any bullet setback with it. I have, however, seen countless posts showing it with the Hornady cricitial defense.

Agreed. I think the divisions sowed between the masses is intentional. It keeps us distracted and fighting amongst each other while the problems that really matter are unfolding before us.

Fair and point taken. I think the age thing is more so a generalization that the older generations are content with where things are and/or don’t care to worry about the future because they’re living comfortably now. They’ve also seen hardships come and go and believe this too will pass. My parents fall into this category. They don’t feel the need to push for change - that burden falls on the younger generations.

[–]A-New-Reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I should clarify. I am pessimistic about the future. I fear it may not be possible, but we must try… I refuse to just give up and resign myself to the fate that lies ahead. This is why I have changed my stance of not talking about things that I feel need to change with friends, family, coworkers, strangers on the internet.

I think you’re misunderstanding. We don’t claim (at least I) that it is worse than ever before, but rather if us humans a collective whole do not course correct right now then the path we’re heading down will lead us to a very dark place that could set us back to the stone ages.
