But again, opinions are like a-holes and that's just mine.
Ill look into it! Thanks for the advice! true not looing to spend a ton, but 100-200 is not bad, just not throwning 500 out for a eotech .

One would like to think so, but, sadly no. Too many other photos of the same guy with the same backward sight.

Who likes a quality rifle for 10 dollars? Well a charity that is very near and dear to my heart that focuses on fighting veteran homelessness, suicide, and unemployment is holding a giveaway for a frankenstein rifle. 10 bucks per entry, and it goes to a good cause. Just check it out at Decendants of Sparta Giveaway Rifle | Monderno

Thank you guys. This isn't a huge charity, it is very small still and very grassroots, but with veteran suicide so high, I constantly worry about my veteran brothers. for the price of a pack of smokes, you can possibly win this nice lookin rifle.

Thanks for putting up with this plug.

If anyone is interested, I have made a spreadsheet that shows distance to target given height of object and milliradians. Set up as a table with object heights across the top, mils on the side, and distances in the middle. Excel5 format (should import into most spreadsheet programs, including OpenOffice). You can download here. Feel free to make suggestions/comments.

buying a full-size pistol, debating .45 vs 9mm and trying to figure out what I want.

Shot a G21, liked it, would prefer longer sight radius

Shot an XDm 45, would prefer better trigger and price more inline with the glocks

Shot a G34, liked it a lot, wish it shot big bullets.


ugh.

My father just got an XDs, and I intend to get one eventually now that my XDm will be in my hands soon enough. That one will be legal regardless of new legislation, so I can drag my feet on it.

You mean, XD Compact? There isn't an XDs "Compact", I believe - just an XD one...no?

Yeah, on the 4.5's. I'm really only interested in the comp model. I'd like the extra sight radius if I'm going with a big gun.

XDsc=XD subcompact. Kinda confusing.

What's up gents! Wanted to share my latest purchases. Still have my RRA LAR-15 Operator Elite on order. However when I was home in January I picked up an Ambush Firearms (by Daniel Defense) 5.56. Still pretty basic; added flashlight and forward grip. I only had time to put 100rds through it before returning to Iraq. I think I'll sell it when my RRA arrives. Basically wanted it in case of the ban coming through but think we're good there now.



And my most current additions are for my Benelli M4...

ATI's Raven M4 Stock




Ordering today; Stock, Forend, Heat shield and, Mag Tube Picatinny Rail Shroud.

Also picked up CarrierComp's "DG" PARKERIZED Tone Titanium (7rd) mag tube and SideArmor's Quick Detach Standard Short Rail with 6rd Shell Holder.

Might add an EoTech as well.
