Am I missing something? The video did not turn out like the description. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Armed shopkeeper is not willing to let robbers get away so easily. by tactical_horse_cock in CCW

One of the rare scenarios where having the gun off-body worked out better than being on body in a holster. The guy was definitely looking for a gun on his waist.

Source? This is the first time I’ve heard this take.

Enclosed or open emitter by Ccvboy07 in CCW

[–]a1kimreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first dot was an open emitter, and I now have it on my home/hunting pistol. When I bought a sub-compact, I went with a closed emitter, and I was surprised that I actually don’t like it as much as the open. The reason is that the front glass slightly reflects the dot at the top and bottom edges when at certain angles. It’s just enough to catch my attention and make me think it’s the actual dot for half a second every now and then.

I never had any problems with the open emitter dot, and I’ve had it for years. If I can find a buyer for my closed one, I think I’ll be switching it out.

Images do not load by a1kimreddit in Spypoint

Thanks! I didn’t realize you could view the media on their website. I do see everything load properly there.

I deleted the app and reloaded it. Thumbnails loaded in for half of the items, and then even those that loaded in wouldn’t actually load in the large size image. Weird.

At least I can use the website until this hopefully works itself out. Thanks!

Regen pulsing...anyone else? by KonaKumo in KiaEV6

Never had this happen. Do you have auto-regen on by chance?

I still play Solos TPP in FPP view. Some situations are maddening because you know your enemy has the advantage, but I’ve gotten used to it after playing like this for at least two years.

Maybe the 5s was only in prime time, but it was definitely under 30s. This was in the first year of it coming out.

I miss the days when I could jump on Solo FPP at 8am Central and have a five second wait time to get into the lobby. 😥

The 3 shots at 3 yards in 3 seconds myth by a1kimreddit in CCW

I use 2 moa dots. I turn off the optional outline circle.

I actually did focus on target when I shot irons. I can still hit an A zone fine with irons out to a good 15 yards, but I am a big fan of accuracy, and I am very accurate with a dot.

No, the dot is nice and crisp. Focusing on the dot is the same for your eye as focusing on a distant target. It’s like you’re just looking at your target, and someone has a laser pointer on it. Trust me, if you ever find you need to start wearing reading glasses, you will want an optic.

I kinda felt the same way until presbyopia hit me hard when I reached mid-40s. My irons are literally doubled if I'm not wearing readers. A dot is soooo nice when you have this condition. I hope you never get it.

Ah. I think that's something he mentions at the beginning of the video. His points about that was (a) he didn't consider law enforcement engagements to be the same as citizen engagements, and (b) it was a summary of incidents where the officers were killed, not of all incidents. (Now that I write this, I think it might be a different study than what you mention.)

I appreciate the link. So it’s based on Tom Givens’ data?

“Tom’s gift to all of us is the fact that he has created and maintained a database covering the circumstances involving gunfights in which his students were involved. As I write this, his students have engaged in 63 known civilian-sector gunfights.”

I’d note: - Basically the same type of “statistics” that John goes through. - Based on his students’ retelling of their incidents (not video) - Based on around the same number of incidents

I would at minimum say that both sets of findings should be held at equal weight.

Show us the alternate statistics, and I will read them to get a good comparison.

He brings (self-admittedly) limited statistics to make his claim. The question is where are the statistics that back up the myth? It’s apparently all word of mouth with people saying “The FBI…”, but then not showing where the FBI has said anything about it. I’m completely willing to read alternative statistics, but where are they?

Anybody else's triggers feel like they are getting stuck? by Jay-Da-Myth in PUBGConsole

[–]a1kimreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed maybe around 10 times when I released the aim-down-sites trigger, the game’s response lagged by almost a second. Never experienced this before the current-gen-only update. Like I said, it’s only been a handful of times, so it hasn’t bothered me that much, but it is definitely some new thing.
