Re: Israel and Iran ???
I hope Israel blows the shiite out of them before it’s too late! Has the world not learned anything from the nuclear armed North Korean situation?
Its harder to deal with those bastards now than ever before. The same will hold true if the Iranians get the bomb!
Re: Sick of level 1
I would pay to watch that test! Can we youtube it? My level 1 test was the hardest test I’ve taken including Phase A, and IKMF instructor training. Mainly because of the stress involved since it was my first test, not knowing if I would pass, etc.
Re: Great Km Book
That’s the most pathetic KM video I’ve ever seen. That guy looks like he took his first intro to KM class for 1 hr, and then made a video.
Re: Keep in touch!
Just because you’ve made a business decision, why can’t you still post on this forum?
Re: hats, headbands, something to stop the sweat
I got my ass chewed for trying to wear a headband during phase testing in L.A. a few years ago. I guess I looked like an idiot with it on or something, but I thought that was my normal look.
Re: AR-15’s
I was shooting from a bench rest sitting down.
I was using new Federal 55gr .223 ammo. I know I have a lot to improve on…..
Re: AR-15’s
The rifle really is only going to be used at the 50-100 yard range once in awhile. So I think you’re right and I just just practice more and leave it at that. Part of the problem last Sunday is we were using the old worn spotting scope the range has at each bench. Next time I’m going to do it right and bring a nice pair of binoculars to see what the heck I’m doing.
I don’t remember how large the targets were on each corner but I guess they were 1/2 the size of the center target for whatever that’s worth.
Re: AR-15’s
Thanks, that’s good info….
At 50 yards I was shooting 2″ groups. For me that’s pretty good considering it was the first time I tried to shoot in over 10 years with a new rifle and a newly sighted in scope. At 100 yards it was a lot worse…so I need to sight it in better.
Maybe my eyes aren’t the best because at 100 yeards I could see the center target fine, but not the targets on each corner. That’s why I was thinking I needed a more powerful scope.
Thoughts?
Re: AR-15’s
Hi,
So I took my new Ruger SR-556 to the range on Sunday for the first time. It was the first time I shot a rifle in at least 10+ years and I wasn’t that good back then.
My Ruger has a Leupold AR Mk 2 1.5x4x20mm scope on it.
I felt the Ruger preformed very well all in all.
I shot 200 rounds of new Federal 55gr .223 ammo and about 50 rounds of various other 13 year old .223 ammo.
The gun was slightly oiled in the bolt and piston before I went to the range.
The gun jammed only once surprisingly with the new Federal ammo, NOT the 13-15 yr old ammo I had! I’ll chalk that up to anything could have happened.
My first major concern is that at the 4x setting at 100 yards, the target seemed very small!
At 50 yards the 4x setting seemed OK.
So my questions are —
1) What range was a 1.5x-4x scope designed for?
2) What is the largest scope that should be put on a 16″ AR?Thanks!
Re: Lasers for Handguns
Jeremy, just curious but what brand has your department been using?
Does anyone have experience with green lasers yet?
Re: Any other gun nuts?
Hi Jeremy,
In your opinion, what is the intended purpose of the XDM series? I would think it could be used for duty carry, home defense, range time, etc.
Are handguns also listed as mil spec and non-mil spec quality? If so what’s a mil spec handgun? Sig 226, 92fs, Colt 1911, etc?
Re: Any other gun nuts?
That doesn’t look like its for me. For starters, the first time I view the pistol online at the site, there’s a big factory recall warning. Not good.
Re: Any other gun nuts?
Talk about a gunaholic, after buying the sr556 and not even shooting it, I’ve been now looking online at the xdm9 because of all the neat features and the price. I’m probably going to control myself and not do it. However the one thing I don’t like about it is the MADE IN CROATIA on the side of the frame. I think I would feel guilty if I bought it since I just bought the sr556.
