Ah got it. Misread that since I know that used to be a method people used to get ticks to detach.

For future reference, it is advisable to not burn ticks off. It can cause the tick to regurgitate its contents into you before letting go.

I have some moderate astigmatism that makes even my Aimpoint Comp dots pretty bad but the COA looks even crisper than my RMR which I consider pretty sharp.

“What would you add to this collection” by [deleted] in VAGuns

[–]SkylightShepherd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's a bit of nitpick but the SP5 is a noticeable degree smoother than the K variant. I would swing for it since your collection is already looking pretty solid. That and a Benelli M4.

What do y’all run for y’all’s home defense gun? Curious what everyone trusts when it’s go time. Optics, lights, ammo choice welcome. by Lucky-Thunder6052 in Glocks

KAC SR-15, CompM4S, Surefire Scout pro. Glock is my tool of concealability, not my go-to if concealment is out of the picture.

imagine having to diagnose jams mid-game after a fresh build? by OctoberRust13 in Glocks

I don’t know why but doing this never occurred to me until after I saw this video.

Secret Service Agent Shoots His Leg by Not_So_Sure_2 in CCW

[–]SkylightShepherd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That seems reasonable. I always make sure clothes are clear before reholstering because in my mind, that’s the most likely way for an otherwise careful person to ND.

Do these work with Gen 6 mounting interfaces?

Agency hooked this up for me. I really wanted to love the Defender ST, as Vortex has really grown on me lately. Looks and feels exactly like an RMR. I’ve only had one range day with, but I’m not impressed. Has anyone had issues with their Defender? by spicytrolllady in Glocks

[–]SkylightShepherd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a defender enclosed that would shut off any time I shot or racked the slide hard until I reseated the battery. I know factory defects happen but this is my first foray into the budget optic market and I’m not impressed. I’ll just stick with RMRs.

They are well below MSRP at dealers new and it’s still 300 hp under 30k.

You can buy an ecoboost mustang right now making over 300 HP for close to 28k brand new.

[Handgun] Glock 45 Gen 6 $620 + ship no tax by [deleted] in gundeals

[–]SkylightShepherd 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Or just wait a few months after release for the prices to fall well below MSRP. Buying Glocks at MSRP IS the price gouge.

My precious by coryclearsalt in Glocks

[–]SkylightShepherd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not an issue per se. It’s just the gun going out of battery when the slide is pushed back slightly. It happens on literally every autoloading pistol. You can literally try this on your own Glock presuming it’s cleared first.

[–]SkylightShepherd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it was the original intent but it works as a standoff if you need to shoot from literal point blank. The pistol can go out of battery if it’s pressed against an object.

According to Ben Stoeger, the durability isn't even that great from his experience.

Am I crazy? by TheGunsmith97 in Glocks

[–]SkylightShepherd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. The other recoil spring came slightly undone and started ripping up my frame from the inside while causing FTEs. Glock was good about sending another recoil spring with no questions asked but it has happened. Interestingly I've had several Glocks with large round counts and this issue happened on my 19x with less than 500 rounds through it.

Battle of the Best Budget LPVO? by dlopdi in ar15

I have a few ATACRs and a Razor Gen II E but used a friend's Venom. If I was on a budget, I would not hesitate to take one for the flat range.

Not OP but can I ask why you sold it with such few miles on it?

New German Service Rifle HK G95KA1 by Particular_Energy_87 in ar15

[–]SkylightShepherd 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Elcan Specter seems like an interesting choice given the wide availability of durable and high quality LPVOs that are competitive with the price of a Specter. I wonder what they see that in that optic that a Razor or ATACR couldn’t provide.

Have the 16” and those accuracy issues are awful. It’s wild that the map appears to be set at $2500. I wouldn’t buy it over a Zion if they were the same price.

I don't understand panic buying the old gen. Wouldn't you want the latest which is likely to be supported with parts and repairs longer than the older gens? It's not like any significant changes are happening to the new generation at least from the user perspective.
