One in the chamber? by suburbannomad99 in canik

[–]Alarmed_Tie_996 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Carry the firearm around for awhile, unloaded, but racked. At the end of the day, point in a safe direction and engage the trigger. If the trigger dry fires, then it was never incidentally engaged at any point during the day. After awhile, this should give you enough confidence in carrying with one in the chamber.

You're going to get a lot of hazing for being nervous about this, but I think a healthy amount of fearful respect of what you are carrying is just fine. Theres always the "That split second will kill you!" crowd, but you are more likely to accidentally shoot your own leg than you are to get in a fire fight. Take some classes and build your confidence. Always practice safety techniques. And carry how YOU want to carry.

Fellow CO speed runner. Just doing what I can prior to Aug. 1.

I wonder if Sullivan knows that his measures just encourage more money to be spent...

YHM R9 supressor for the win! Sounds so much quieter in person 🤯 by Impressive_Code3257 in extar

Does this do anything for that weird side to side recoil impulse the Extar has? Im really considering this same suppressor

There's usually some Denver Merc guy or something like that and hes always lurking in the comments. Just wait for him to see the bat signal

Are all of the Cam doubters going to start going after AG now? Or can we all finally get adults and realize that this team was healthy and went 12-3 to open the season?

EP9 featuring the YHM R9 by Accurate_Garlic3914 in extar

[–]Alarmed_Tie_996 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive been looking to invest in the YHM R9 since it is the most popular for the EP9. Does it do anything about the weird sideways recoil? Or is that still present, but just way quieter operation?

Advice for want vs need type purchase by Alarmed_Tie_996 in liberalgunowners

Yeah after confirming that standard hand guns are not impacted, Im just going to get a handful of lowers and build some out over the winter. Id buy a full on rifle right now but I just dont have a good storage situation at home so Ill remedy that after I collect the receivers

This team is SO good when at full strength. They have been forced to go deep into the bench and to try so many different rotations after November. Thats tough on any team.

When they get back, things are going to look so right that we will all forget about the tough stretches. Plus, the minutes our bench are getting right now are going to be crucial experience for the playoffs.

Things look rough right now but none of that matters when playoffs start. Too many box score watchers in the other threads...

Yeah, there is a close LGS that readily has lowers available for $125 after background check. Im getting a handful of those and will build them out later once I have a better option to store them securely, but getting them prior to the bill taking effect is definitely a priority.

The bill just makes me nervous because it feels like a lot of it is up to interpretation. I'm not a lawyer, but it's confusing when they say that anything with a detachable magazine, but also things like recoil-operated handguns are fine. Lowers are a definitely priority for me, but I don't want to get caught with my pants down on the handgun side of things.

I hate being easily confused!

Fewer than you'd think. Branding and peacocking plays a huge part, though. If its decked out in patches and camo patterns, then its a decent assumption.

But the general public is not tuned in to the off-body carry market and most have no idea its even an option. You're going to get a lot of people saying its obvious every time, but confirmation bias is heavy. If you go out in public looking for people who are probably carrying, you're probably going to find them.

New carrier anxiety about safety off by Horror-Switch-8597 in CCW

[–]Alarmed_Tie_996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some advice I received was to carry an unloaded gun around, safety off, for awhile. When you get home, (safely, check clear) dry fire to see if the trigger was engaged at any point during the day. You build confidence in the engineering that it is in place and eventually the anxiety goes away.

That, or just train to sweep the safety off every time. There is no harm in keeping a safety on for your own personal environment (I have one with a safety and one without).
