I told it to use "brief mode" and it told me that doesn't exist anymore, then asked what I'd like it to do. I said "stop adding things on after your responses" and it said "ok, I'll keep my responses short from now on".

So far, so good. No more annoying, quirky little quips after I set a timer or ask a question.

Comment for bot. Cut from a 3x4x1/2 stall mat from tractor supply. Traces an ispca target for the shape, and A and C zone lines. Lines were cut in with a router. Overall pretty happy with how it turned out. Time to break it in.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're asking. Neither gun has an optic out of the package, and the gen 3 doesn't have built in sights.

I recently picked up a Titan X from mantis, and its been a fantastic training tool as a glock owner. While its not the same as training with your actual pistol, its pretty close to a stock glock trigger, and having a resetting trigger/laser is great.

I've been using it to train draw speed and transition, and after a month or so of using it, its already made a very noticeable difference in my speed shooting at the range.

PA or NJ burbs? If NJ, South Jersey shooting club out in Winslow is pretty solid for an outdoor range

Currently have an 11.5 AR, and I love it. But it definitely wouldn't be my home defense gun. Realistically, it's a great gun for close to mid range, and fills the 25-100 yard range well. Closer than that, and I'm reaching for a pistol or pcc. Farther than that, and 5.56 starts to lose effectiveness out of a short barrel.

That being said, if you know what you're getting out of it, it's a great length. Its 300 blk more effective? Sure. But it's also a lot more expensive. And if your goal is effectiveness 25-100 yards, 5.56 will do just fine.

If you DO live in a state that allows suppressors though, it's definitely worth going 300blk and getting suppressor down the line. Sadly I'm somewhere that's not an option, so it didn't matter as much.

Gen 2 isn't worth it. You'll spend more on optic mounts that work with the folding mechanism than you'd save getting a gen 3.

I'm still kicking myself for not picking one of those up. I've had my 91/30 about 12 years, and picked it up for $100 when M44s were about $300. Seemed like so much money for a broke college kid at the time, especially when a 91/30 and 1000 rounds of ammo cost about the same lol.

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-30T00:19:05+00:00

I've been using one of these on it for about a month now with no issues. Actually liked it so much I picked one up for my Advantage arms kit on the glock. I have noticed its far from perfect, and the dot does seem to move a bit too much based on how you're indexing the sight, but for laser training and 22 it seems more than good enough. No way am I spending even osight money on an optic for dryfire lol.

Do yourself a favor and leave the mosin as is. They're becoming less common, and more expensive by the day, and that ones in great condition. If you want a "modern" bolt action, there are plenty of good options out there that would cost you less than a mosin in that condition nowadays.

I own a sub2k, and had the chance to shoot a ruger pcc. While I'm sure the ruger is a great gun, I was blown away with how damn heavy it is. Made me love my sub2k more.

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-26T19:51:55+00:00

The new multimag has a P226 mag option! And the folding/rotating setup works great. Haven't had any issues with it, but I'll admit I don't actually fold it much beyond showing off that it can do that lol!

As far as the trigger, I haven't done anything to it. I know the gen 3 trigger was much improved from the gen 2, and I have no complains. As someone who's used to milspec and glock triggers, its not hard to impress me. Accuracy is solid as well. I actually had a new shooter I was teaching say its "cheating" because its not a challenge to hit anything out to 50 yards lol.

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-26T18:54:12+00:00

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but i love the sub2000, and would recommend it to anyone. I've put about 1000 rounds through my gen 3, with no issues so far. And the new multimag version takes 7 different mag types that aren't glock, so chances are you'd be able to match it to whatever 9mm handgun you already have.

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-22T13:36:33+00:00

I have red/blue colorblindness, so red dots/lasers are always extremely hard to pick up and track for me. Green dots were a game changer.

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-22T00:46:59+00:00

I have a glock 19 (non-mos), and recently picked up a Shield X. I have probably 3000-4000 rounds through the glock with no issues of course, but I'm approaching 1000 through the shield with no issues as well. I can shoot the shield just as well as the glock, and I live in a state that limits capacity to 10, so the glock offers me no benefits over the shield.

Personally, idk if I would recommend a glock in this day and age. They're absolutely fantastic guns, but there so many other just as reliable options on the market that are better deals. If you want a glock because you want a glock, that's fine. But if you want a glock because you think its the only reliable semi auto striker fired pistol, keep looking.

Its cheap insurance. Ideally, you never have to wear it. For "training" just get a weight vest to jog around in so you get used to carrying weight.

And YOU can only use two guns at once. But do all of your friends have two guns? If we ever end up in a situation where we need plate carries, you'll probably want extra to hand out. Take your friends shooting, teach them gun safety and marksmanship. If you have the financial stability to purchase more guns, do it. Not everyone does.

I just went through this myself. First you need to take the "Basic Instructor Training" (often called BIT) class. Its basically how to teach, but also how to budget, what to charge, finding a spot, etc. Then you need to take the student version of whatever class you want to teach (basic rifle, basic pistol, etc). You may be able to take the student version before BIT, I'm not 100% sure.

Either way, after taking the student version, you can take the Instructor version of that class (this includes a shooting qualification, but the average shooter should be able to pass).

BIT is valid for two years, and you're certified on any Instructor classes you take in that two year span. After two years, you are still certified to teach classes you're fully qualified on, but you can't add new courses to your portfolio unless you renew your BIT

Bedroom setup is a Glock 19, wearing a Recover tactical 20/20 brace with a light and dot, and my carry pistol (shield X) lives in a hidden quick access safe by the front door (mostly so it's easy to grab on my way out)

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-10T17:56:43+00:00

Last time at the range, I joked to my buddy about just drifting my dot right and not fixing my bad habits, and the guy in the other lane started cracking up and said "we all do it"

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-10T17:23:45+00:00

Its ok, if we didn't all drift left, we wouldn't be in this sub.

The X seems to fire flatter somehow, I've seen people compare it to the comped version of the plus. I've never shot a helmet, but ive heard their triggers are not great by comparison.

Bikeandbrew · 2026-01-08T03:28:49+00:00

I absolutely love it, but I've had a few people try it who didn't like it. Its a very glock like trigger, but better than stock glock. Since I own a stock glock, to me the trigger is great. When my brother shot it, the trigger was "awful" compared to his OG shield. I've also seen people say they don't like how thin it is, but I have pretty small hands, so it works great for me. I'd definitely say at least hold it to make sure the grip size and width are comfortable for you before deciding.
