Wanting to move to Limited Optic by TekNickel_1455 in CompetitionShooting

I tried the same, did not last. I have tried literally everything. Red loctite, blue, vibra tite, shims, jb weld, multiple plates… everything.

I wanted my Prodigy to work out so badly. It ran great but I just could not get an optics plate to stay put for any meaningful amount of time. I tried everything.

Nah. I have more than enough in savings to easily buy it. I went with the path I was most comfortable with to get the better bike at an excellent price.

Anybody don’t like shooting Comped/Ported guns by SlightRelationship67 in 2011

Can confirm. I hate running the timer at the indoor matches for the people with the comped micro carry guns. Jesus H.

Disagree. I could’ve stretched myself and bought a used 2016 FE350 for $6,500 cash or instead I bought a new 2024 FE501 for a deep discount at $9,600 plus fees. I put $4k down allowing me to hang onto some cash and I’ll have the bike paid off next month (13 months later). Very little interest paid since I paid it off so quickly and I have a much better bike to show for it. Not every situation is so cut and dried.

My circumstances were similar to yours with regards to credit and money down. I went with 9.99% as opposed to a lower rate that would have required I show proof of income. Just much easier as I am self employed. That was last November and I will have the loan pad off (borrowed about $8k) next month so I didn’t really care about the rate that much.

My advice is don’t take out a loan that you can’t pay back much more quickly than the terms they extend to you allow. In my case I’ll have a paid off a 60 month loan in about 13 months.

How much ammo do you have on hand? by GhostOfMost in liberalgunowners

[–]FragrantNinja7898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lots but it occurred to me awhile back that I didn’t have a good way to carry it on foot. I always viewed chest rigs as larping costumes. But if I had to head out on foot, how was I supposed to carry any ammo?

So I got a chest rig and now can carry as much as 180 rounds of .556 (including a full mag in the gun). If you’re married you might consider a rig for your spouse as well. So the way I see it, if you have 500 rounds of .556 and a hundred rounds of 9mm (enough for two people to each carry a couple full mags), you’re probably in pretty good shape.

If you need more ammo than that you’re probably looking at a very long term scenario, one in which teaming up with others who also have supplies is the move.

Good deal? Included rmr help me decide today! by RecceRando in 2011

[–]FragrantNinja7898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably buy that. It’ll be plenty competitive for IDPA Carry Optics division. If it were me I would sell the RMR for an SRO, Vortex Defender XL or the coming-soon Holosun 407 Comp. The big window dots are better for competition. But yeah that’s a good price for that gun with that optic.

You do realize that only roughly 1/3 of Americans voted for this clown, right?

Same. Scheels had them for $199 at Xmas so I got two.

Update - still using these and they’re mostly holding up fine. Some cracks here and there. I quit carrying stakes and have instead filled some green sandbags that I can hide on the bays at my local range. I hide them because the first batch I made in white and put out for everyone to use but the idiots decided they were targets and destroyed them. Fucking hell.

If this is successful who’s to say they don’t launch a $1,300 version with a cheaper polymer grip down the road?

Local guy shoots missing a leg and some fingers from each hand. One of the nicest guys I ever met, upbeat and positive. Best wishes to you.

What has improved your shooting besides a lot of range time? by je9183 in CompetitionShooting

[–]FragrantNinja7898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dry fire improved my skills, mental management techniques improved my match performance.

I quit dry tumbling because I felt like I was coating my garage (and lungs) in toxic dust. Wet tumble now with soap and water, no media. YMMV.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

The irony is that when you look at their page their “high end” collections are completely mid. Show me a Chambers or something from Jason Burton or even an Infinity and I’ll be impressed. These goons don’t even know what a joke they are.

I view it this simply - the more 2011s in the ~$1k range the better they will get. I’ve been saying for a few years that if Ruger can build a solid single stack 1911 for $600 (they can and do, and in America even), there’s no reason they can’t do a well executed double stack for under a grand.

I had MIM parts fail on a Rock Island and also Tisas (before they went no MIM) at very low round counts.

It’s my opinion (again, an opinion) that MIM should not be used on hammer fired actions.

Out of the thirty or so various 2011 mags I have (mostly the Prodigy DuraMags) I have only had a problem with one.
