Maybe I'm missing something... In practical terms, what did you notice that was different between the two? You said the difference was minimal, but from what I understand, the difference was that the HP model has a focused spot that was only visible at close range? Is that correct? The reason I ask...

RE: ACOG reflex sights, that would be my hoice, too. They're dual-illuminated, fiber optic and tritium. If the fiber is too bright in daylight, you can slap some tape over the receptor (on the front for the reflex sight.) I've used an M150 on my service rifle and always kept all but a half-inch of ...

The MOE stock isn't bad or anything, it's a good stock. It's just basic. If it works for you, it works! You may not need the extra onboard storage space or the sling mount points. They're just kinda handy, I think. Really, the main reason I like the MOE over the T6 is because you're less likely to ...

UncleJoseph

Sorry dude. If it really is that bad, the best you can do is be there for her as much as you possibly can, and try the best you can to accommodate any of her needs. If you're struggling with the whole "be there for her or be there for work" debate, well, only you can decide what route to t...

UncleJoseph

Ah. In that case, I'd either go with the Magpul STR or the Vltor IMOD stock. They're both pretty similar in that they have the QD sling mounts, storage built-in, rubber buttpads and are a nice shape to put your face on. I put the Vltor IMOD standard on mine and it has absolutely no faults. An extre...

UncleJoseph

If you can upgrade the stock to the CTR rather than the MOE, it has a QD mount for a 3-point sling built right in, which makes taking the sling off really easy. But if you have a strap adapter that goes around the top of the stock, that'll work fine too. The CTR was not an option for us to purchase...

In short order, I will be acquiring a new AR-15 for duty use. We will be purchasing these new rifles ourselves, but are being given an interest-free 2-year loan to purchase the weapons through our work purchase program. This is being done because it will outfit more officers with patrol rifles, and ...

This is a really, really, really good piece and is probably worth a good chunk of change as is (over $1k). Thought you'd appreciate that one... The question now is, do we keep them or sell them? I'm keeping the BPS as a hunting gun, since it is a modern design & has choke tubes instead of fixed...

Hmmm, let's smack Evans, David to begin with. Who is C2? Who is C1? (Is C for complainant and W for witness?) Is C2 the complainant listed on p1? If so, why does the narrative say he was bitten but p1 lists abrasion and scratching as his injury. And a refusal to seek medical attention? Give us a co...

Also, Bone, did you read the police report? And, did you know this was from 2010? If you believe what the officer said in the report, then the amount of force used sounds appropriate to me, given what I know about police procedure and policy. Of course, if he's lying...

Now, another question has been kicking around in my head: why did the cop throw the dog over a bannister, or down a corridor, or set it free in any sort of way? I don't quite understand that: the picture included in the article shows the cop with his knee on parrot's back, apparently restraining hi...

Another reason I'm quick to start explaining things about law enforcement, is that I really, truly want people to understand what it is we do and why we do it. I just often find that folks have made up their minds, and aren't interested in any explanations. Sometimes I get frustrated and just ignore...

UncleJoseph

I agree with that completely. Sorry, I was on my way out the door and could have worded that better. Parity is necessary. Disparity is not. While I believe precedent has been set that makes it reasonable for police to carry rifles in their vehicles, I think places like California and Massachusetts ...

UncleJoseph

So, you think you might need AP and, due to your peculiar environment, the increased range often enough to warrant a 5.56mm rifle. And the various pistol caliber carbines are too expensive. Ultimately, it's your employers who make that call; if they don't mind AR15s.... Not that I really have a pro...

UncleJoseph

Personally, I'm not enamored of the idea of camo on guns. I makes them look cool, but I don't think it's really necessary, particularly in an urban environment. I might go with a flat color on the rifle, probably tan/FDE as the furniture is already that color, but I don't think I'm going to go to t...

Which one? The Benelli SuperNova Tactical with rifle stock...I went back and forth about the rifle vs. pistol stock. On a pump shotgun, the rife stock, for me, is easier and more balanced than the pistol grip. If I was getting the M4 semi-auto, it'd be pistol grip all the way. The Mossberg 500 and ...

I was thinking about these today...it'd be interesting to have a system of some type (say an aircraft or space craft or car, etc.) that, instead of using one dedicated central brain, used several of these smaller computers, dedicated to a few specific tasks.

It's an early 90's W-body, right? My 1992 Regal GS showed a simple brake light when I had a hole in one of my front brake lines and lost hydraulic fluid. It didn't show the ABS light...just the regular brake indicator light, and not the parking brake light, IIRC.

UncleJoseph

Bad switch or stuck brakes maybe? Not sure if he has rear disks or drums. One of my patrol cars had stuck rear brakes at one point. They stuck so badly after coming to a stop that I couldn't move. But I don't recall if the brake lights stayed on. Even if there's a mechanical malfunction at the brake...

Yeah, not every place will have the machine to do an internal cut [or "laser cut"] key like that, but I suspect if you call around, there'll be locksmiths outside the dealership with the machine for it. Well I don't know what the hell I was thinking...the key is just a double-sided key li...
