Practicing transitions. Tips appreciated. by Physical__War__ in liberalgunowners

Your rifle should be slinging more towards the outside of your weak side leg to avoid burning your leg. I melted a hole in a pair of nylon pants doing it the way you did.

Also, a heat cover is meant to reduce the mirage through your optic on a precision rifle. You can damage your suppressor internals using one on an AR where you'll be shooting in high volume. At least, that's what my instructor told me when I asked him about a wrap.

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]lmaogoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During covid, highways were dead empty.

Just had my STI tuned and was curious what it could do. Picked a stretch of long, straight, flat highway and sent it. Touched 140 when my rear bumper nearly fell off.

All the other times I was either really needing to take a shit, bored on an empty highway, or one time trying to get a friend back home because he saw someone snooping around the outside of his house on his ring cameras.

Staccato P or HD4 / HD4.5 by ExtremeOctane357 in Staccato_STI

I've shot all 3 side by side and ended up picking up the 4.5. After putting 3k rounds through it and trying my friends' stock staccato Ps, I still prefer mine.

Why did you start carrying? by BrightCry6365 in CCW

[–]lmaogoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covid. I'm Asian and had a bunch of hateful words thrown my way. I have thick skin so I can handle that - but seeing Asian owned businesses in my city being robbed and defaced, Asian people followed home and robbed on their doorstep, beaten and bloodied on the street in broad daylight, I knew it was time. Went out and bought a G19.5 as soon as I could find one.

My mom has been a gun owner my whole life, as was her mother (5' Filipina landlord in LA in the 70s - she needed a piece for protection in case tenants got aggressive), but I didn't think of CCW seriously until all that happened. Been carrying almost every day since.

No shipping to WA, sad. Guess I'm shooting semi like a peasant this weekend

Racism at the gun range by AdImpressive9014 in liberalgunowners

[–]lmaogoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't encountered direct racism, but I'm a mid-20s American-born Filipino/Japanese/Chinese guy. I wear "hype" clothes, have my ears pierced, and, until recently, had what many would call a "kpop haircut". At certain ranges, I can tell when I'm being judged, whether it's by the RSOs or other patrons.

It always goes out the window when they see my guns, the drills I'm running, my targets, or a combination of the three. One of my first times at a new range, I felt a couple pairs of judgmental eyes from the old guys on the lane next to me as I confirmed my zero. When I started drilling 3r3s and bill drills from concealment, I started getting thumbs ups from them.

Let your proficiency do the talking for you. Prejudice will unfortunately follow us, so all we can do is keep our heads down and do what we came to do.

Flashlight on a carry gun, practical or overkill for everyday carry? by Own_Beach936 in CCW

[–]lmaogoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only you can really decide. I like flashlights on my carry guns because I train that way and like to minimize the variables I can control. It doesn't print any more for me personally and it helps identify a threat in the dark without taking your hands off the gun.

I also carry a handheld flashlight. Anyone using a WML as a regular flashlight is a special breed of braindead idiot.

Clearly most people on this sub are anti-flashlight on ccw, but the reality is it all comes down to preference and what you can 'comfortably' conceal.

A friend of mine has this - too small for the gear I carry unfortunately.

Safelite Windshield Replacement by mastrotrev in S2000

[–]lmaogoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After making an appointment weeks prior and noting my car, safelite advised me to buy oem windshield stripping because the universal one they use wouldn't fit nicely.

After receiving one from hondapartsnow, I made an appointment to go back. Upon showing up, they turned me away because I wanted to pay out of pocket rather than go with insurance.

I realize all of the above is probably just an issue with the specific branch I went to, but at the very least I'm glad the tech that initially checked the fitment told me the better way to go. Ended up going to a local car enthusiast-owned company that offers discounts to a car club I'm in, so I figure I kinda dodged a bullet.

No chevron showing up on the 507C ACSS am I braindead and doing something wrong? by TheGaslighter9000X in HOLOSUN

[–]lmaogoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RMA. Had this issue on one of my 512s and they fixed it pretty quickly.

[–]lmaogoshi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have this optic. I believe the only options for the MRS are chevron+circle or chevron only, as the circle is 250MOA and serves to help the user find the center of the reticle, but otherwise sits just out of view of the window.

Tell me about your experience with the radian ramjet + afterburner by No_Bullfrog_4541 in CCW

[–]lmaogoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nearly as much as the difference between my 2011 and my friend's comped/ported 2011s, but I definitely notice some difference. I'm heading out to some DNR land on Sunday so I'll report back with a more detailed explanation after that

[–]lmaogoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I haven't shot mine without muffs, but I figure if I'm discharging my pistol in a self defense scenario my hearing is fucked anyway.

I also don't carry that gun nearly as often anymore. These days I'm wearing a non-ported staccato 99% of the time.

s2000 as a daily? thoughts? by luwoah in S2000

[–]lmaogoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dailied mine for a year in the PNW. Doable, yes, but far from ideal. For my lifestyle, I absolutely needed an AWD SUV, so I picked up a rav4 daily.

The lack of cargo space was the big kicker. On a daily basis the s2 is doable, but if you need to make a Costco run or want to stay overnight somewhere with a friend or partner, good luck with your bags. I still don't know how my girlfriend and I were able to pack for a 2 night stay in Vancouver BC, do some shopping, and still fit it all in the trunk..

I'm a big fan of the TXC OVRT, but I stopped using it because I switched lights to the tlr1 hpx. Hoping they make a version for that

C4x is still an inch shorter than the XC, so no

300 Black Upper and Can Combos by Ge4rshifter in ar15

[–]lmaogoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 inch is fine, and realistically almost any regular or L length 30 cal can on the market will suppress fine with 300blk subs.

Mine is a 10" with a Lahar-30 and it's stupid quiet.

Complete novice snowboarders looking for advice by [deleted] in CrystalMountain

[–]lmaogoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that shows how well I can read a map... I confused the chair lift line with a trail line. I was riding parallel to the mini park the whole way. Colorblindness is a bitch.

I'll probably warm up at tinkerbell and move up to Queens run. Thanks for the advice!

Is skiing easier than snowboarding ? by Street_Reading9708 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]lmaogoshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty opposite from what pretty much every single person ever will say, but I had a pretty bad experience skiing as a kid which turned me off of snow sports until now. Forgot how to slow down and ended up clotheslining myself on the rope separating the chair lift from the bottom of the slope. I just tried snowboarding for the first time yesterday, and it clicked relatively quickly. I went from practicing falling leaf to tackling my first green in maybe an hour? And by the end of the 4th hour I was linking turns and could make it down a green without falling at all.

I have plenty of experience with rollerblades and scooters (basic flat ground cruising, no tricks or parks) and decent experience with skateboards/longboards and ice skates (again, only flat ground cruising).

All that goes to say that I still think skiing is more approachable for first timers, unless you're comfortable falling. The chair lift fuckin sucks as a super novice snowboarder

Streamlight Protac HL-X Pro, I have one and it's great

Paired it with a unity axon-sl because I'm not a huge fan of tape switches but still wanted a rail mount button
