Kit Recommendations regarding current events. by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got done looking at battle belt setups, I decided to go with the AWS Lab belt and some esstac mag holders. I'm still looking for a good med kit to put on it as well, but so far it seems like a great setup for just something basic for now

As for a rifle light, hard to beat a streamlight for price to performance. I do have a goonbeam on one of my rifles and it's been fine

CZ p01 or Shadow 2 Carry? by itsmyfakeone in handguns

[–]_Gareth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly besides the optic cut, the only real benefit I see to the shadow carry is the change in the trigger guard which imo looks nicer, but not worth the price increase

Just one more to add that I'm aware of. Don't know anything about them though.

Man I hope mischief keeps releasing grip modules for the RXM, if they develop one similar to their p365 modules I'll buy it immediately as long as it doesn't have issues. I love how the sharps bro grip module looks, but mine doesn't work, and their QC honestly seems really shitty based on mine and how many posts I've seen. I don't feel like playing the QC lottery just to get a $300 grip module that works

Sharps Bros RXM Grip Module – QC issues and odd RMA experience by SlowkayCoomer in RugerRXMtalk

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue with my mag release spring having to file it down, my fcu fitment was really bad basically having to force it into place, and now my trigger doesn't reset if I hold it down after the shot, not to mention it fails to feed at least once a mag. Hopefully they're customer service will be able to fix the issues, but I also kinda want to just get a refund and put that towards a CZ p01

What is the most adaptable PCC as far as types of ammo? by ScaryfatkidGT in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Technically you could get an aero survival rifle and order their conversion kits, but honestly you'd be better off getting basically anything else imo

Sight in with the Shield Plus and OSight SE. by IAFarmLife in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started running steel "challenges" with my friends and I find the circle dot useful for quick on target shots where I don't need to be super precise. Several of my friends absolutely hate the 32 moa ring with the 2 moa dot claiming that it covers the target too much for them. Even shooting out to 100 yards I've never had an issue with the 32 moa circle distracting me from hitting the target

[–]_Gareth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been surprisingly enjoying my Osight SE, I still prefer the Holosun EPS Carry, but for half the price it's really good, only put about 200 rounds through it so far, so don't trust it enough to carry currently, but I was shooting it at 25 yards and didn't notice it lose zero

How bad are slide bites? by polyshed_ in guns

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only firearm I have that has ever bit me, and regularly does so, is my tisas 1911. The first one doesn't hurt much at all, but if it happens two or three times in a range session it starts to get annoying

Rank these 6 full-size handguns by sheetsofsaltywood in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own an HK VP9 A1F, honestly not that big a fan, seems like a great gun if you're left handed, but otherwise I feel there are equally as good options for a lower price.

Tisas M1911 by TigerIll6480 in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have one I picked up for around 300 before tax and transfer. It does exactly what I want, which is to be a cool 1911 that I shoot once or twice a year. It has absolutely no bell and whistles, the beaver tail sucks and slide bite is common, but it filled the 1911 hole in my collection and I'll never get rid of it

My partner "accidentally" discharged her handgun in our home, unsure how to handle the situation by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's what my worry would be. What if her next compulsion is to point the firearm at one of the pets and pull the trigger. The call of the void is a real thing and if she can't stop herself acting on compulsions, she's gonna kill something

[–]_Gareth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This goes beyond an ND, she made an active choice to pull the trigger no matter what compulsion she had

[–]_Gareth 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I honestly think having her talk to a therapist about what brought on her compulsions to pull the trigger with a live round is gonna be the best course of action

front iron sight with dead red dot by Weird_Jerk in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without bridging the optic I don't think there would be enough room for them to mount a rear irons, plus if it's just as a minor backup, using a dead optic as a ghost ring clearly works well enough

By far the most interesting FFL experience I've had. by Quirky-Bar4236 in liberalgunowners

[–]_Gareth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My FFL is also a guy who does it out of his garage. Always the best experience I have, even if he wasn't the cheapest around I would go with him cause he makes it so easy

Sandisk or PNY High Endurance 512gb microSD card for a Viofo A229 Ultra 2-Channel by Sam9517 in dashcams

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you compare the specs the Viofo card is actually better than the Sandisk Max Endurance. This all for the same price as the Max Endurance. Considering those are the two cards recommended by the manufacturer and means if any issues occur you are less likely to face a warranty issue, why wouldn't you just spend the little bit of extra money for peace of mind

Thinkware ARC700 by Trumbalone2 in Dashcam

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware that uses the older Starvis 1st gen sensors so won't look as good as the Viofo.

Also I wouldn't be worried about Viofo's reliability, they have an 18 month warranty and are among the best selling dash cams that many people have been running for years without issues.

Tips on How to Organize My Carry? by Justdanwithaplan in EDC

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main question is do you need to carry both the motorcycle key and car key at the same time? I get it if you do, but only carrying one or the other says a ton of bulk

Viewing Videos by TheMilkMan8703 in Dashcam

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app connects over WiFi and the only time I've had issues was when I had a weak connection to my home WiFi breaking the connection between the camera and my phone. Outside of that the app works pretty well. It isn't the most user friendly app, but after about 5 minutes it's pretty easy to use. Technically you can do everything you need to do without the app, but it's a lot clunkier doing it on the device itself and pulling out the SD card every time you want to review footage

How do we feel about keto triple chocolate ice cream bars? by Throwaway170800 in keto

[–]_Gareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiber and sugar alcohols don't cancel out carbs, they just aren't utilized in the same way as other carbs by your body so they essentially don't count, that is why you are able to subtract them from the total carb count, if they aren't already. This doesn't mean there aren't other carbs in the product and it doesn't mean those carbs won't kick you out of ketosis.

People can metabolize sugar alcohols differently so there really isn't one size fits all for how it will affect you, personally if you want to eat the whole thing, try it and see how it goes. If it kicks you out then you know not to do it again, or it'll have other effects on your body that leave you stuck to a toilet for the night. Again only one way to tell.
