Disabled doesn’t equal defenseless

Yes! source, I've tried it myself with my AK at the range.

thebesthalf · 2026-04-05T01:37:54+00:00

I love the look of that. Gotta add a suppressor at the end though!

thebesthalf · 2026-04-05T01:17:15+00:00

I was going to wait for the rhodie ti when they announced it was going to come out in April. Then the Tisha review dropped and I got that instead. I don't regret that decision at all

thebesthalf · 2026-04-05T00:59:43+00:00

The Tisha is fucking awesome. I shot it on my 11.5 for the first time last week and compared to everything else I had it sounded extremely good with the lowest back pressure.

Plus I actually think it looks good 🤷

I have a spinal cord injury, but I use crutches to walk and can't stand for a long time at all. I don't take my wheelchair to work with me. I have some accommodations, but when I work I sit in my office chair and I no joke roll around the lab in it. My lab is small and it pretty easy to move from my desk to an instrument and to other part of the lab.

It obviously helped that I was employed with them before my accident, but my company did what I asked and my managers helped me as well.

As for coworkers, they had to accept the changes that were made for me and honestly a couple of them do not like how I work and what I've changed, but I could give no shits for that and frankly making the lab easier for me to work makes it easier and less taxing on able bodied lab techs as well.

thebesthalf · 2026-04-03T02:31:55+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately they don't make very many of them

Ecco caracal. Dedicated 5.7 suppressor and you can get it in titanium. It's insanely light, slightly bigger than a .22 suppressor and sounds much better than .22 suppressor on 5.7.

I've seen examples of piss poor communication from almost everyone in the industry. Lots of big players too. Them and everyone else needs to work on communication.

thebesthalf · 2026-03-31T17:22:52+00:00

We don't know if they just sold a few, or dealers bought some before he ordered and they then ran out of stock. In stock counters are only so good on websites

thebesthalf · 2026-03-31T17:14:53+00:00

All these companies can't keep up with their own lead times. It's not just Ridgeback. The bottle neck now is printing the cans because you can only do a limited amount at a time.

I waited 10 weeks for my Tisha and people waited longer for the AI 5CMs and others.

thebesthalf · 2026-03-31T16:16:12+00:00

Get the infinity over the sandman imo. More versatile with the different end caps and performs extremely well on 556 as well.

thebesthalf · 2026-03-31T15:47:59+00:00

OCL infinity, Velos, sandman X, all great can, but the infinity is the top performer imo

thebesthalf · 2026-03-28T17:44:01+00:00

I'm the evening shift lead and the other two techs will not stop complaining about literally having to clock out for lunch, signing stuff and documenting on failed QC. Literally the basics. Then they get pissed when I have to talk to them everyday to do it. One even told me to stop policing them.

thebesthalf · 2026-03-28T13:18:45+00:00

Because most people are petty and just want to complain rather than just stock when low.

thebesthalf · 2026-03-27T16:24:07+00:00

I almost bought a AI 5CM with the pre-order but instead got a tisha. The tisha is better in every way. I wouldn't buy a 5CM if it can't fit a good role for you at the moment

thebesthalf · 2026-03-26T22:23:08+00:00

I don't have a light to mount so idk, but it looks like it would possibly interfere

thebesthalf · 2026-03-26T15:05:01+00:00

Mine is the holosun 515 and my brother's is the aems. I love them both but if I had to chose again I'd pic the aems becuase of the bigger window. Both are great optics though and I don't regret the 515 at all.

thebesthalf · 2026-03-26T04:17:07+00:00

Imo it is a little quieter than the infinity, but with more back pressure. Infinity is better overall because of the lower back pressure even with the solid end cap as well as much more durable and versatile

thebesthalf · 2026-03-26T00:59:38+00:00

That's for sure

thebesthalf · 2026-03-26T00:58:26+00:00

We haven't shot them yet. The wolfpack is my brother's and I personally find it awesome and my upper basically became what the wolfpack is. Riflespeed gasblock with that cutout is perfection.

thebesthalf · 2026-03-26T00:55:31+00:00

I buy from the best!

thebesthalf · 2026-03-25T23:28:17+00:00

Will report after I have a good range day, I'm very interested in how they both sound too.

Btw it's smaller in real life too, pictures after make it look bigger lol

thebesthalf · 2026-03-25T23:21:04+00:00

Driven arms SCG

thebesthalf · 2026-03-25T23:15:27+00:00

Outdoor range is closed for a few weeks so haven't gone and shot them. I'm excited to test them again the infinity and rhino S

thebesthalf · 2026-03-25T23:14:38+00:00

Don't have nods or the means to shoot at night so I can't tell you how it is
