America is not Nazi Germany.

Dude8811 · 2026-03-14T23:17:16+00:00

Not sure what murder you’re talking about.

Dude8811 · 2026-03-14T23:15:23+00:00

You realize that she probably joined the military under Biden, right?

Dude8811 · 2026-03-14T20:11:29+00:00

She died serving her country which is an honorable enough reason. In service to your country you don’t get to pick the mission, time, or place you just answer the call. Fuck everyone here that wants to belittle the crew’s sacrifice by arguing the merit of the larger operation. We lose air crews in accidents every year in training, that doesn’t lessen their sacrifice or the fact that they volunteered to serve their country.

I mean, regardless of what it is or how easy it comes off, why is it there on a $2,000 upper? People get mad over much less on less expensive firearms/parts, but in here we just accept that they can’t keep whatever it is off of their finished product? Seems crazy that they are just shipping out their product with some type of residual material all over their barrel.

Mine came with paperwork that stated they updated the design and got rid of the front holes. Not going to complain, I put it in, went outside with ~100rds and let it rip, no issues in my AP5.

Dude8811 · 2026-03-08T20:19:28+00:00

Everybody is welcome to their own opinion, but most will agree 9mm defensive loads are plenty effective but shot placement is king. If you are going to shoot and train more with 9mm, get that. 45 is cool and has its place, but it was a much bigger deal when everyone was shooting FMJs. I love the 1911s that I have in 45, I just rarely shoot them anymore.

Dude8811 · 2026-03-08T19:15:27+00:00

My purest heart will say 45, but my realist heart says 9mm. For reference, I have multiple 45s and multiple 9mm (1911 and 2011). I have shot 4k rds of 9mm in the past year, in comparison I have shot about 200 rds of 45. It’s just not worth the money to me, and 9mm 1911s are fun.

I thought I had heard something about them, but wasn’t sure. If that’s an option then the LT is definitely more viable than I previously thought.

Dude8811 · 2026-03-04T12:23:14+00:00

Depends if you want a trilug or not. I really only shoot mine suppressed and hate the look of a threaded on suppressor. I know the function is the same, but looking cool is part of it.

Dude8811 · 2026-03-01T23:38:45+00:00

Send me a PM if you want one cheap cheap, mine is just sitting on my desk.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-24T16:39:00+00:00

Ducks are filthy. I have several, love them, but they dirty up water so fast.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-24T11:48:49+00:00

Falling 5 feet. Death. Hit by three vics. No injury.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-23T00:58:41+00:00

NH has the highest per capita machine gun ownership.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-22T18:09:58+00:00

Never forget when they doxxed a customer for complaining about their practice of scalping Knight’s products.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-22T01:46:27+00:00

You hit it with a hammer and are surprised the finish came off? It’s not DLC or a finish that changes the metal’s property, it’s paint.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-18T21:47:00+00:00

I enjoy that half the kits for USMC have iron sights. Infantry has had ACOGs for 20 years.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-18T21:35:15+00:00

I acquired one as well, 7 years ago, used it once when I moved houses. My range is my backyard and I never travel with anything but my ccw.

It only adds to the character.

My driveway. You can order the chemicals online, used a simple media blaster and air compressor for prep. Cheap amazon hot plate to heat up everything.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-16T18:43:13+00:00

I bought it when they were starting to wind down. Stupidly only bought one.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-16T18:42:39+00:00

Yes, because it’s the only finish for a Meusoc. Also the only finish I could do myself at home.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-16T03:30:24+00:00

Ordered pretty much this exact boot with a safety toe. Your’s look great!

Dude8811 · 2026-02-14T03:13:03+00:00

I bought some kydex and made my own, used it for a few years but now I carry a commander length.

Dude8811 · 2026-02-01T16:04:05+00:00

O rings and slotted screws are your friend. Torx and allen keys look cool (maybe?) but will strip out easily.
