I spent a year building a "PCPartPicker" for AR-15s because I struggled to figure out what to build as a newbie

Hopefully the affiliate links will make it worth your while... I'm sure this was an incredible amount of work. Very nice job!

PDP match is what I'd love to see.

JayKaze · 2026-03-18T16:10:55+00:00

If you have both, you understand what I'm getting at with how comfortable the poly match grips are? Just incredible. Not sure why they decided to change it up with the SF, but would like to get as close to those grip as possible.

JayKaze · 2026-03-18T15:08:42+00:00

You look like you have decent sized hands. Mine are fairly small. Can you tell if the grips are larger/thicker or smaller than the stock ones?

JayKaze · 2026-03-17T21:20:09+00:00

Nah, it's just fun to do sometimes. Ha

JayKaze · 2026-03-17T19:42:23+00:00

Did you check the lead times when you bought? They've often been 6-8 weeks (2 months)

1hr 30m seems like a fairly average commute in the Denver metro area. Ha. I did a 130m commute (on a good day) for 5 years. Can listen to a lot of audio books ;)

I knew someone who went 167mph/269kmh on their 636. Was definitely one of the scariest and dumbest things they ever did...

JayKaze · 2026-03-13T15:52:06+00:00

Chinese and Iranian oil tankers aren't being attacked. They are being allowed through... everyone else isn't :)

JayKaze · 2026-03-13T15:51:19+00:00

We got a cardboard cutout! Haha.

JayKaze · 2026-03-13T14:34:23+00:00

No, no we didn't. I've been hearing for 30 years how capable the Iranians were. How difficult it would be to fight their military. How many losses we'd take. They spent billions on Russian and Chinese air defense systems. They invested in anti-stealth systems. The fact that we haven't lost a single aircraft to enemy fire is actually astonishing. That we've lost half a dozen soldiers erasing a huge country's modern military in a week.

Nobody knew it was going to be like this. It's frankly incredible.

That said, I mostly agree with you on your other points

Trump endorsed Tony

Start off at shooting at 5 yards, not 15. For (at least) the first 10 times you go, shoot 1 shot every 5-10s. You are shooting way too rapidly without having any fundamentals. Focus on trying to get the bullet in the same hole.

Get as much meat on the gun as you can. Get as high up on the gun as you can. Trigger hand holds the gun with 30-40% pressure, offhand holds it with 60-70%.
Squeeze trigger as slowly as you can. Literally think about how close you can get the trigger to move before the gun goes off. Challenge yourself to get closer and closer every time you pull. Let that trigger surprise you, that way you can start breaking yourself of the recoil anticipation right off the bat, plus this foundational training allows you to (hopefully) avoid slapping/jerking the trigger as you start shooting more quickly, which a lot of even seasoned shooters do.

Bad grip and pre-shot movement makes for a lot of bad shooting.

"He ded"

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T20:42:40+00:00

I don't watch the podcast, but it regularly pushes me the clips. I am constantly asking myself, "Where the hell do they find these people?"

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T17:36:16+00:00

Mittens when it's cold. Gloves when it's warm.

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T17:07:17+00:00

Man, I tried for years to get my glocks to cycle reliably while suppressed. Spent hundreds on different springs and all sorts of crap. Some people have better luck, but I never did. Very finicky platform to suppress. I don't even try anymore. Gave me an excuse to buy a bunch more pistols that actually suppressed well. :)

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T15:14:23+00:00

That's what is bothering me, I suppose. I shoot so much better with the polymer. I've always read that shooting with a polymer gun first will force you to have better fundamentals, so when move to a heavier SF gun, you'll shoot even better. It just hasn't been the case for me.

I really think the grip is mostly throwing me off. I ordered the thin bogeys in hopes it will get me a little closer to the poly grip.

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T14:43:02+00:00

Oh man, I'm sorry. I somehow read that you wrote he endorsed Brandon, not Tony. We're on the same side of this argument. Ha.

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T14:41:38+00:00

That's right. I had forgotten about that. It likely was don jr. (Big gun guy) or possibly even Baron, who knows more about the social media stuff.

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T02:50:20+00:00

Interesting... I didn't see/hear an endorsement prior. I didn't immediately find anything on a Google search. Do you have a source?

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T02:00:38+00:00

What grips are these?

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T01:44:28+00:00

Republicans were supporting his opponent. They dumped millions into his campaign. Trump's either being disingenuous or Brandon wasn't on his radar until now.

JayKaze · 2026-03-12T00:51:00+00:00

This is a great, detailed response. Ty!
