There I can run the IR illumination and laser from the ATPIAL and switch to white light as needed (although I never have).

Congrats on the kids (and also on the lack thereof, @Dyzastr), gents. Son #2 and kid #4 is due to arrive in a couple of months. So far, the cloning and guns in general remain largely unaffected.
I'll be laid up with nothing to do here in a couple of weeks after the snip. |

So I just finally got my "in stock notice" fro brownell's for their b5 gov contract stocks. I know @krdt said they are pretty delayed but damn, is been about 3 weeks since they actually re-stocked. They must've had a lot of people click for the notification.

I know this has been covered before, but i may need some clarification after reading. I was always under the impression that when measuring a pistol length, it was from the end of the threads to the end of the receiver extension. But I just read that when using a pistol brace, it's from the end of the threads to the end of the brace. So that would mean I can add a vfg to my pistol as long as the shockwave blade was pulled back and tightened to a length over 26"? Any thoughts? Was I just under the wrong impression when I thought it was threads to buffer regardless of having a brace or not?
Eta- so I just got some tax money back and am really thinkin about a sf suppressor. Between the SB, the mini, or the monster/ mini monster, what would you pick and why? |

^^
the only laser I've owned so far was a pistol mount laser. Figured I'd tip toe my way in with somethin durable, yet less$ which is why the dbal caught my attention. Eta- if money were no object, I'd go with an an/peq16. The an/peq15 would def do the trick too. At this point I'm without nv capabilities so it would primarily be for the visible laser. (Also why I don't mind the dbal since the ir beam is not slaved to the visible beam. That wouldn't bother me.) |

To be honest, I have no need for on at this point. It'd mainly be because clone. I definitely agree there's a right and a wrong way to train. I don't think it's neccassarily bad to train with a laser for specific indoor cqb situations. Definitely Not to be used as an every shot sort of situation where it remains on constantly. I've think of lasers as kind of a back up if the situation calls for it. But you have to train to be ready for that situation should it ever arise.
