Critical Duty is worse than the Rangers or PDXs you had. If you go Hornady, go Critical Defense. The Critical Duty is meant for cops for extra penetration through auto glass and doors, etc. It has shit expansion and a little too much penetration.

My shitty little security cabinet can't even hold my AR with a scope on it properly, much less if I had a mag in it. Same with my AK. My mossberg light primer strikes 50% of the time, I don't have any ammo for my enfield, so that leaves just my .22 marlin. Also I live in a nice neighborhood.

>>30079423
Btw, some of those fuckers are really hard to find, and according to one site that I got some of the 147gr HSTs from, it's because the major manufacturers sometimes get pissy about selling them to non-LE-only distributors, and will take measures to try and block its sale to us mere civilians.

Hilariously, the 147gr+P and 124gr non+P HSTs are fairly easy to find.
>>
>>30079412
If you could get anything else, do it over again, would you stay with your choice or get something else? I'm a collegepoorfag so if I get a light I can't have it fucking up after a few range sessions because I wanted to make sure it could handle the recoil before a real life HD scenario.
>>
>>30079432
Hornady makes the shittiest defense ammo on the market, short of perhaps the truly budget option hollowpoints offered. I've seen enough gel tests to never want to buy Hornady. I swear people must just buy it because it looks cool and it's hard to find the info about what ammo is best.
>>
>>30079394
Same could be said of keeping guns loaded that you have no intention of using until you bring them to a shooting range.
Inconveniencing other people = more likelihood of a friend or loved one accidentally shooting themselves
Social pariah = "You keep 10 guns loaded all the time you gun freak!"
Get you arrested = transporting loaded guns and long arms in your car is illegal in most instances, which means you would have to unload it before you transport, which means why keep it loaded in the first place.

Stop being a contrarian cunt.

I have a different Inforce on my AR with a REALLY nice form factor/user interface (momentary on only, very flush design). A year after I bought it I found an arfcom thread with a bunch of posters talking about how theirs had broken due to crappy polymer, even in some not very harsh environments.

So I'm since less inclined to trust their products.

Pistol is always loaded and within reach, AR is also ready most any time that I'm at home.

>>
>>30079186
AR is loaded with good defensive JSP's and locked in a quick-access rack on the side of my bed.

CCW is always loaded, and always on me assuming I'm wearing pants. I generally only wear pants an hour each side of leaving my house though, so pretty much 7am-6pm M-F and 6am-noonish Saturday. Rest of the time I'm in boxers.

This also brings up a funny story:
>be 22

>sitting innaapartment bare-ass naked at like 11am on a Tuesday, fapping to some hardcore anal on my TV

>hear SHEEEIIIIIITTTTT as he jumps down a flight of stairs
>call cops, put on boxers
>spend 20 minutes filing police report with the 7 officers that showed up in nothing but a pair of boxers with a raging hardon
That's what convinced me to buy a house in the 'burbs. Mortgage ended up being more or less the same as my rent anyway, even if utilities are killing me.
>>
>>30079641
Nah this was the WML. The APL may be a fine light or it may be garbage, I have no idea. I just can't bring myself to trust Inforce again.
>>
Have this loaded in my G19 car gun. Is this okay personal defense ammo? I already saw the list but I want to just get a review on this.
>>
>>30079641
the WML is shit and will break fairly soon. Not sure on their tubular, traditional flashlights.

Anyway, I recommend a ring mount plus a Surefire G2X/6PX. Should be under $100 total, especially if you lurk ebay.

Both the G2X and 6PX can take their pressure switch tailcap too if you wanna upgrade later. A G2X plus their tailcap and pressure switch is pretty much a 300-series Scout without the integrated mount.

As the guy with one, I might add that this pisses me off to no small end because that's a lot of ammo I could have bought instead, thinking that I was getting a quality product for my HD AR.

Amazon carries both of them. They're not quite as expensive as a Surefire but they're definitely still expensive, if budget is more of a concern than fast shipping I'd look at Ebay.

Also, I snaked a demo 5.11 flashlight from work 2 days ago, decently impressed with it so far. Also has a 1" body. But since I've seen literally nobody espouse 5.11 as a weaponlight I'd be pretty hesitant to use it as such.

>>30079746
You're right, that or Armslist is the proper move. Such a shame, if they hadn't fucking cut corners to save a few pennies on materials this would be the absolute ideal HD rifle light.

>if budget is more of a concern than fast shipping I'd look at Ebay.
Just be very very careful about counterfeits. The Chinese are insidious about this and they're getting smarter about it too, you used to be able to tell the counterfeits just by noticing the price was 1/4 normal, but now they're pricing them just a few bucks lower than the real stuff. Not to mention making copies that look darn close to the real thing (but are much much worse quality, of course).
>>
>>30079779
>pistol light
Well this changes things a little bit. Those aren't as cheap.

TLR-1 is probably the most widely used pistol light in the world. It's bomb-proof, bright, and has an intuitive switch. But it's expensive (though still less so than an X300).

Pelican doesn't make a dedicated pistol light.

I always thought he did a decent draw and reacted well. His firing is a bit wild but it was good. Probably nailed the guy with 5-6 out of the 9 or so rounds loosed. That's decent pressured marksmanship.

His call partner though....fuuuuck.... That fat butch threw her pants on her head, poured spaghetti in her pockets and started licking windows. Her only contribution was to shout "Gun gun gun!" After the Sgt. was already drawing. She pulled her taser and fumbled it then went off her gun and flubbed her draw. Guy was down and the fight was over before she got sighted in. Fucking fail.
>>
>>30079837
>>30079852
Light autist here, if you're going to use a strobing light you want it to come on immediately upon single button press. IIRC the TLR-1S doesn't do that (but don't take my word on it). [Particularly worthless are strobes on flashlights that require a bunch of button presses to get to.]

They DO seem to help cause a slight delay in reaction time for many people who have them shined at them. You DO need to train with them, especially since the main use of a light--to thread ID--is harder with a strobe.

If you're using a light, you should be illuminating for a quick press and then moving immediately after, hence momentary-only lights (with constant-on, if available, requiring some fucking with to get) being a good idea.

Inconveniencing other people = more likelihood of a friend or loved one accidentally shooting themselves

If your loved ones are completely retarded and go around handling personal items which they know can be dangerous, which aren't locked up.
Social pariah = "You keep 10 guns loaded all the time you gun freak!"

So don't go around telling everyone you see in public. Shitting in a parking lot isn't exactly a secret you can keep.

Get you arrested = transporting loaded guns and long arms in your car is illegal in most instances, which means you would have to unload it before you transport, which means why keep it loaded in the first place.

Depends on your local and thats one of those situations that only matter if you get stopped.

So maybe you stop being a contrarian count by defending your stupid as example
>>
>>30079936
Classes are worth more than gear. Hell, apparently people having taken night fighting CCW courses are saying that night sights are worthless since you can see your sights anyways if you have/use a weapon light, and if you don't have one you can't properly ID your target anyways. And if it's too close/fast to use a light, you're point shooting anyways.

I dunno, just what I saw a number of people saying. (Of course, I see this after buying night sights.)
>>
>>30079967
The night sight meme. I too fell for this.

I live with others so the only ones we keep loaded are the bedside ones. Everything else stays unloaded, but ready to load in the unlikely event a pistol won't do.

I at least made mine express sights with XS Big Dots so there was some upgrade. I'm still learning on them but it does seem like I'm faster at getting them on target from the draw than a 3-dot setup, thanks to only needing to line up 2 things instead of 3 and not being able to hide my front sight.

I get what you mean, but really In my experience it's just 1000% easier to keep a small flashlight on you. In the dark where you can't identify your target night sights really don't give you an edge. Maybe I'm retarted but I feel like I spent cash on something that really just doesn't cut it if I have to pull my CC in a low vis situation.

>>30080016
Basically see above. It may be for you. I'm not gonna shit on it if you want them, I can just say personally I feel it's a bit over hyped.

It may also be worth nothing if you CC I've had 2 different lawyers tell me to keep your pistol stock. If you Jimmy with it and have to use it, the prosecution will attempt to use that to paint you as someone looking for trouble.

If I had it to do over again I might have spent the sights money on a Crimson Trace laser. I've heard good things about them including an anon here saying he tagged a burglar in his home after being shot by the burglar and on the ground. Couldn't really line up the sights properly from his position, but could still put the red dot on the target and pull.

From what I've heard from reading about this subject but not asking lawyers, this isn't very likely for things like sights or stippling. Removing a safety, huge no-no. Adjusting trigger pull, could be problematic. Sights? Nahhh.

I keep a small flashlight on me all the time but it definitely is not as easy to deploy it as the gun, much less in concert with the gun.

Also, if you DO want night sights, while I like the XS Big Dot, the Trijicon HDs were REALLY nice to shoot with, felt super accurate. Mind, having a 3-dot night sight setup with all green dots is a GREAT way to get confused about which one is your front sight in the dark.
>>
>>30080055
No. No you can't. Assuming so means you've never shot under pressure before. Besides the highest chance of something to go wrong with a firearm is when you're racking in a round.

As someone who has had to draw on an elk charging me when I was bow hunting I can tell you first hand that the thousands of dollars of ammunition I've spent trying to train myself didn't mean shit when I had to draw, rack, aim, and shoot.

It's like the movies when you see the blond girl who is about to be murdered and she is fumbling with her keys. It's something you have done 100000 times, but under pressure it's a whole new experience.

TL;DR Fuck off with that shit

I like how you just assume you're going to have both hands free and won't be getting shoved, grabbed, punched, choked, etc.

Have fun trying to rack that slide while getting wailed on by 2+ urban youths. And by that I mean I hope the police can get your gun back after you get laid the fuck out before you even get a round chambered.
>>

Instructors are just as prone to common myths as anyone else. Hell Massad Ayoob himself has suggested not modifying your gun for legal reasons--yet when pressed for a case study to support this he apparently couldn't name any instances of it happening.

I considered that anon, but desu it's a roll of the dice I'm willing to make. I did want to fuck with my G26's trigger but I said it's not worth it and left it alone. I'm a man of color with a weird name, I'll have enough trouble lol.

As I recall, there's one that's on the grip (which is what I want), and one that's mounted in front of the trigger guard. They also have a light called the LightGuard that mounts in front of the trigger guard.

Live in an apartment that actually does keep every outer door locked. I keep a mag loaded and near the AR which is near me whenever I sleep or am at my desk. If someone is trying to break in through my door they'd have to break it down, I figure I could load it and have it ready before they'd get through the door.

Too much of a pussy to actually keep it loaded 24/7 chambered since I like to fingerfuck it occasionally

I'm indifferent to safeties. I have no problem with manual safeties, so long as they are GOOD safeties (IE 1911 style, not slide mounted garbage). I love the manual safety on my shield, I train with it, and it has become second nature for me.

Carry what you want, but a safety is a valuable thing to have when you need to reholster under stress. If you ever need to draw your weapon on someone, you WILL need to reholster whether you shoot or not.

The greatest chance of you shooting yourself is during draw/holster. There's nothing better than hearing the reassuring click of your safety engaging before you desperately try to shove the gun back in your pants, so cops/bystanders won't think you are the crook.

Every gun I have except the ones in the safe have a loaded mag in them. However, only the defense guns have a round in the chamber. For example:
In the safe:
>M1A, magazine on shelf above it
>M97 trench clone, shells in attached sling bandolier
Around the house:
>Saiga 12 w/ 3" 00 buck, closet gun
>HK USP 45 w/ Ranger-T+p, couch gun
Defense:
>Glock 21, nightstand
>Beretta Tomcat, CC
>Beretta Bobcat, other CC

Duty gets 16" from a duty length 4.25" barrel, it will get under 12" from a G26/M&P Shield/XDS length barrel. Critical Defense uses a faster burning powder and a projectile that will expand at lower velocities so it will do better than Critical Duty from these guns.

Also, GZ was using Sellier & Bellot 115 grain, which I believe uses the Winchester Ranger bullet.

I have more loaded upstairs, and even more unloaded upstairs. Generally I will keep a loaded magazine in every gun, unless its an antique or something. The chamber generally remains clear in all my guns also, except for my carry gun/ guns. I really don't see a reason why I should have every one of my .22's always loaded, or keep all of my Krag Jorgensen's ready for battle.

One of the first things I noticed when you or the other anon suggested it.
