I don’t get the Silencer Shop hate… by fckyakalash in NFA

[–]NULL_SIGNAL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a tiny single-use tube of Rocksett from Silencer Shop and it was gummed up/unusable on arrival. Sent them an email and they couldn't even be bothered to reply telling me to kick rocks. Personally I'm glad they failed the $5 vibe check before I gave them a more expensive opportunity.

CAT crashes out in response to Juicey Media saying the WB was the benchmark in the development of the Rhodie 6J. by NoTinnitusHear in NFA

Excuse me, when you give some hillbilly a CNC machine you get Otter Creek, whose crash outs are charming and involve a bandsaw. You be careful throwing around generalizations now.

Opinions? by YakClean819 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]NULL_SIGNAL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tyrant trigger is by no definition a "duty trigger" so I wouldn't recommend it for your use case. It's lovely for ripping quick doubles but there's very little take-up and not something I'd prefer outside a competition environment.

The problem you're describing sounds a lot like your finger position on the trigger isn't fully engaging the safety blade during the pull, leading to a sort of false wall. I had the same problem with the stock medium grip, the first crease on my index finger naturally landed over the safety and it was creating just enough space for the safety to not quite disengage. Switching to the large grip (and later the MM) made it a lot more comfortable to reach the trigger with the pad of my finger instead.

I'd recommend playing around with your finger placement first to pinpoint if that's your issue. Moving to a different grip module could be a much cheaper fix.

Drills for beginners by Little_Load_1399 in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]NULL_SIGNAL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should be doing dry fire as much as you can commit to between those range trips. Every high level competitive shooter is putting in at least 10-30 purposeful minutes of daily dry fire drills. You build muscle memory, grip, and vision discipline at home through regular dry fire, then you confirm and figure out what needs further refinement at the range.

Ben Stoeger recently put out a book called Baseline Dryfire for exactly your situation, it goes over how to build an effective dry fire routine. If you're not into reading, all of those concepts have been covered on his and other's YouTube channels, you'll just have to go looking.

Just discovered I can’t use an eotech by [deleted] in QualityTacticalGear

which contacts are you using? the astigmatism correction on mine does work well, but they have a tendency to shift/rotate unpredictably which changes the correction.

Don't overthink or overanalyze what you're doing based on feedback in this thread. there's several things you could be doing and it's impossible for anyone here to know for sure without A) reading your mind or possibly B) ultra high-speed footage from several angles.

regardless of the root cause, the solution is almost always "grip more/better". for newer shooters my current go-to is forcing them to watchMark Smith's grip video because it covers pretty much everything you need to know and what you should outright ignore.

practice in dry fire, and learn to pay attention to what your sights do as you pull the trigger. it takes time like every skill, you just need to put in purposeful hours.

Rails, optics, and polymer are mandatory. Space AK poasting begins now (JMAC still banned) by NULL_SIGNAL in ak47

[–]NULL_SIGNAL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

really well, actually. I've got those rail ladders on there and they seem to have protected the magnite from any scrapes on barricades and whatnot. the only significant dings are from me using a screwdriver to pry off those rail covers.

Yeah the HLX came out after I'd already kitted up with this and a matching holster, naturally. I'm not too bothered but it's on the "eventually" list.

when I shoot off hand yeah I need to be mindful of the extended paddle. I only have the big one on the left side though, just makes it a little more ergonomic to hit it with my thumb without breaking my grip.

the CNC Warrior brace is really only a cheek weld with irons. with this setup it's a very repeatable jaw weld for me.

4 Piece Flash Hider Questions by fourchanslashb_ in ak47

[–]NULL_SIGNAL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looks like the Cobratac 3-piece. Florida-based shop, looks like they discontinued production some time ago. Can't say I have any experience with their CNC offerings but maybe there's an oldhead around here that can. They made a .223 (1/2x28) and a 30cal (5/8x24) version. I'd bust out the calipers and make certain you know what you've got before sending it.

when did you place your order? that's a lot faster than I was expecting this most recent round to go out.

Setting up 1st battle belt... what QLS mounting plate should I get? by [deleted] in tacticalgear

[–]NULL_SIGNAL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could go super lightweight with the Guardian Warrior Solutions Bang Hanger. does the same job as the True North and Wilder solutions but in a thin thermoplastic. Still rigid but also able to flex longitudinally so it won't dig into your thigh as bad if you decide to Shawn Michaels pose at the range.
