    Gunfighter Moment – Larry Vickers

    Saturday, November 26th, 2016

    I often say you can learn more about shooting in one day on the range with quality instruction than you will learn in a month reading about it online. The process of zeroing your rifle is a perfect example; the skills and knowledge you gain from actually doing it, instead of reading about it, are immeasurable. You will also learn very quickly with quality range time that a) many of the techniques you might think are valid are actually stupid and b) a whole lot of the gear you might buy and think is cool is trash. Get some training before you go out and waste a bunch of money on equipment that is solely designed to separate neophytes from their money.

    LAV out.

    Cards Against Humanity – The Holiday Hole

    Saturday, November 26th, 2016

    Every year around the holidays, the Cards Against Humanity team comes up with a new gimmick. Last year, for Black Friday, they sold literally nothing… for $5 a pop. Unabashed capitalism at its finest.

    This year, they’re digging a hole. And that’s pretty much it.

    The reason we brought this up is because our friends at Tacticalgear.com donated a $1001 towards this funny but ultimately pointless endeavor. In fact, here’s the email they received after their donation:

    Griffin Armaments – Micro Modular Sights (M2 Sights)

    Friday, November 25th, 2016

    1

    Griffin Armaments’ Micro Modular Sights are, as the name implies, low-profile and modular rifle iron sights. The sights, thanks to a patent pending interchangeable mounting plate, allows the sights to be configured either in a traditional vertical mount, or in an angle mount.

    “We have owned almost every sight set there is, and there really wasn’t a do it all product, especially since we’re running a lot of offsets on our personal rigs.” -Austin stated, Lead engineer and primary owner of Griffin. He went on to state, “ Often times we found ourselves running sights for a while swapping out to something else, reverting back, etc depending on what we were doing with the firearm.”

    “Ambidextrous feature functionality was important to us as well. Often time’s lefties are left out in the cold without good product support, especially in this category. Making the set ambidextrous for angle application ensures that these sites are applicable to any shooter with a Picatinny rail to support it,” Austin stated in detail. “We also thought that supporting the A2 post was pretty critical to customer satisfaction. The A2 is the 1911 of front sights; It has a lot of aftermarket options and we wanted to ensure that customers could use those options.”

  • 17-4 stainless steel and Ordnance Grade steel
  • Melonite QPQ treated
  • Low drag slotted windage screw
  • A2 sight tower supports A2 posts
  • Patent Pending modular base plate system
  • Scant 2.5oz system weight
