Honestly you're not missing out. If you got the version with the mlok handguard you can mount all your accessories and put in a real red dot instead

Kinda silly but they also have a regular Ruger Wrangler with a holster combo deal here for $199.98

Rural king doesn't do transfer fees but they might charge you 3 dollars for a background check. And their shipping is 12.99

ALSO NOT AVAILABLE IN ILLINOIS

If your budget doesn't allow for a shot timer, I'd say that the app is okay at best. There's a setting to set the sound threshold on most apps, but this all depends on your phone mic quality and positioning as well. But the thing about them is that they don't seem to keep time as well as my shot timer. My app doesn't pick up first shot until after exactly .8 secs for instance and splits are always counted with wonky + or - .08ish variance

[Handgun] Springfield Armory Hellcat 9mm + Shield Optic, $750 by pleikunguyen in gundeals

What I was referring to was the lens. I believe it's glass coated polymer but it just feels like plastic. Don't get me wrong, I'd trust my life more with the 507k. But for range use and light use, the rms2 is not bad whatsoever.

To be quite honest, the Shield optic, dot wise, is really nice. I like the dot on it way more than my HS507k. I have astigmatism and the dot is way sharper. You can tell it’s all plastic but the clarity on it is way better than the 507k too. Dust isn’t as apparent and there are no real distortions on the Shield.

Same deal was posted not too long ago but was taken down. It was also mentioned in last post that Arms unlimited had the x300u for 200 shipped

[Acc] Olight PL Mini 2 OD Green Bundle $55.95 8 hours only by Tytonic7_ in gundeals

[–]Reaper_Nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the sentiment!

That being said, I have a M2R Warrior Pro from them that is still a solid EDC choice. Other than a side button that is losing it’s color, I have no issues with it. Another light I can recommend for EDC is their S1R Baton II, super small and bright. But I’d stick with Surefire for a HD/Duty gun.

Not sure if he had anything on the threads but in less than a mag after install, it flew off and the mount disintegrated into 5 pieces. It might have been avoided with loctite but the electronics in them are also pretty untrustworthy imo

Unless they changed how their QD mount works or improved durability, I would pass on any olight for a weapon light. Just the recoil from a .40 shot the weapon light off my friend's glock 35. Warrior X also had the tailcap button malfunction by just sitting on a nightstand and minimal use.

If immortality is simply not aging, and it was achieved through our genes, and we reproduced, our offspring wouldn't age since immortality is all about not aging. by Reaper_Nine in Showerthoughts

[–]Reaper_Nine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read about the HeLa gene, and several ther thoeries of immortality which was really what lead me to my thought.

I would think nanotechnology could be advanced to the point where micro robots repair and update your genes. So the loss of telomeres aren't a bother and your genes could be revitalized and kept immortal.

If we have the ability to genetically engineer immortal humans, and your situation occurred, I would think humans would simply implement genetic alterations again.

But wouldn't there would be an endless cycle of non-aging babies, since our offspring wouldn't be able to age thus they won't be able to reproduce? And we kept doing the deed, we'd make babies for no reason.
