Quote HistoryQuoted: Forward cocking serrations. THIS, times one million. Forward serrations first came into being on "race guns" where the frame-mounted RDS being used interfered with using the normal cocking serrations, and putting ones near the front allowed equivalent purchase on the slide. Then every a-hole and his brother decided it was essential to have those on virtually all pistols, even if they don't have an RDS on them. In general, grabbing the slide up near where the bullets come out isn't a real good practice, especially under pressure. Putting features there to encourage doing so when no RDS is present is just ASKING for someone shoot themselves. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I agree with everything… That said I still like my CF barrels. I’ve found they are extremely accurate, consistent, and string less than pencil barrels. That said they are not meant for sustained fire and anyone who believes they handle heat better than equivalent diameter steel barrels is an idiot. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Piston driven - DI is lighter, more accurate, and more reliable CNC - Marketing gimmick, practically everything is CNC nowadays MPI - Almost meaningless unless you know the rejection criteria and detection rate Billet - Actually inferior to forgings but cost more so must be betta! Spiral fluting - Rigidity of a pencil barrel with 2x the weight. Benefits of head dissipation is practically worthless and pushed for idiots to eat up Carbon fiber barrels - If you think they dissipate heat better, you are a gullible idiot. Also prone to stringing due to differences in coefficient of thermal expansion between CF and steel. Delamination is an issue at higher temps I agree with everything… That said I still like my CF barrels. I’ve found they are extremely accurate, consistent, and string less than pencil barrels.

CF barrels only work if you have a cool barrel sticker on both sides for the gram. |

I agree on the optics comment but on comps, well I used to feel the same way. Thought I was doing really good when a guy pulled up next to me at a match and offered to try his comped G45. It felt like I was cheating and I gotta admit, if god forbid I should ever have to use something in self defense with a handgun, I'd want to have that cheating edge and put more into them, especially failure to stop into more than one bad guy. Now I want to comp all the things. |

Neither of my guns with IR lasers has a vis laser and it wasn’t a problem. The vis laser is absolutely fantastic for keeping NPCs out of the picture. Rolling up savages at night overseas could often draw the curious and various others purposefully or cluelessly coming along- We specifically went from PEQ2s to 15s for adding the visible. People get the dot and GTFO. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No, it absolutely does not. I want my CH to work for a lefty the same way an OEM works for a righty. For the record, I am not using it wrong, it's wrong for people that are not right handed. And I've already gotten a different CH. I know that you think that you are helping, but you are not. The people that make the ignorant comments that we don't need anything other than OEM CH's are ignorant right handed people who lack critical thinking. The A2 does not do anything better than what you're saying. Over 1/4 do indeed perform better than an A2. After seeing a bunch of Smith and Surefire pronged MD's alongside some A1 and A2's, the A1 and A2 were lightbulbs. The BCM Gunfighter hybrid while not being great at flash, does a better job at compensating. The A2 can't beat at comping and can't beat at flash suppression, so it's just cheap. Cheap isn't a function, it's a form. Function matters more than form. If what the right hand supremacists think is true, then we should be able to give them a left handed rifle and not have them utter even a peep in complaint. Just train more bro. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just how large of an optic are you using (and how far back) that you can’t use the two finger claw motion? Maybe I’m using mine wrong, but I have full access to the CH from the top on all my rifles. If it doesn't work for me, then it doesn't work at all for me. This isn't hard to understand really. Use it how you like and leave the rest to how I like it up to me. The claw is old school and a bit outdated. Plus when running a folding BUIS like a Troy or a Magpul MBUS, they're in the way from being able to effectively use a claw as fast as a pinch that righties do. Pinching the charging handle with your support hand’s index finger on the latch with the thumb backing it up at the tail end of the handle is more modern and more effective. This cannot be done with a left handed person using an OEM. The pinching method allows me to keep my left hand on the fire controls and back up and gunning in no time. Reaching over and clawing it is rather gross in function to me. I want ease of use, which is why cheap and effective isn't effective and is being superimposed without a critical thought. It explains why this is so hard for many to understand because to those taking this with any difficulty are not thinking this through because they're being stuck in their ways and cannot think of anyone else doing it any which way but theirs
