There's obviously a lot of pouches that mount to the M4 stock to hold ar15 mags, but are there any that will hold 5-6 shotgun shells? I just put a mesa conversion on my 870, and was hoping I could put some slugs on the stock in a pouch.

Shock buffs just treat the symptom. The cause of battering is a worn out/improperly weighted recoil spring. If you have the right spring in your gun, it won't batter the slide or the frame. And shooting is a lot more pleasant too.

How can someone justify spending that much on pants? I'd be afraid to wear them. Maybe frame them?

The 19 is more shootable due the longer sight radius, and you're able to get your whole hand on the grip vs. having the pinky hanging off. Higher capacity by about 3 rounds, and the size isn't all that much bigger. My carry is a 19 with a streamlight tlr1 in an IWB by raven concealment. It is ridiculously comfortable for how much gun I'm packing. When I went in to get it, I was torn between the 19 and the 26. The salesman steered me towards the 19, and I don't regret it at all.

It's all preference. They're all awesome, but the little things make a difference. Personally, I like a wide u-notch rear with rabbit ears, a la warren. However, the only reason I know that is that I've tried a lot of other options, and to be honest, I bought a used glock 35 with the warren rear, fiber front, and I love it. It's completely subjective, and you will have to figure out what works for you, your vision, and what helps you concentrate the best. This is the same as the whole "which color of fiber optic should I use" question. There are very few wrong answers, but it takes time to figure out the right answer. -Paul

This interests me too. If anyone has both and could do a comparison, that would be awesome.

Most freefloat tubes make you take off everything: front sight/gas block, gas tube, flash hider/brake, etc. You need a "clean barrel".

I have a dan wesson 357, and am experiencing some pretty major timing problems. I was wondering if there are any gunsmiths who work on these?

If you tune your recoil spring to your load, there won't be any battering at all. Doing it right will make it so the slide just "kisses" the frame. This will help your muzzle flip too, a lot more than a buffer.

I like the adjustable single pouches from blade tech a lot. For my L10 rig and my Limited rig, they work really well. Get them where you want them, loctite the screws, and go.

I don't think there is a single micro red dot out right now that doesn't have a glock mount.

I would check the mag catch tooth which engages the mag, and also the magazine notch that is engaged by the catch. Those should be the only two potential sources of your problem. Either one, if worn enough, can cause an over-insertion.

I'm sure something could be done for the trigger, but you should probably just dryfire it a lot. The triggers on a lot of guns improve dramatically after a few hundred dryfires. Of course, shooting it a lot works too, but dryfire is a lot cheaper

I'm not sure who will import them to you, but they're fairly easy to install. Depending on which one you pick, they install differently, but none are all that difficult. The ones that bolt on come with a tapped MSH, so you just install it in place of your existing MSH.

I wouldn't. I know that most (it seems asinine to say all) light holsters need the light to retain the gun. I have a really nice light holster, and I hoped the same thing you are thinking of, but it failed miserably. A plastic bag retains my gun better

As long as it's gas operated, or a benelli, you should be good. Definitely shoot samples of both though. Gas operated shotguns will usually recoil less, and the gun functions basically independently of you. It would work well for you, since you can't "push back" as much as a heavier shooter.

On a firearms note: never do ANYTHING AT ALL firearm related without glasses. I've been aerosoled in the eye with rem-oil, shot in or near my eyes more times than I'm willing to admit with springs, etc, etc,... I've found that if I'm going to get injured in any way shape or form, it will be my poor, defenseless eyes. Or my junk, but that's a given.

I love the RO notes: If the shooter objects to shooting while naked...umm, yeah. And we all thought catching occasional shrapnel to the face and arms was bad

I've found that just about anything besides a black rear is distracting. The setup I have on my glock 19 and s&w m&p 9c carry guns is the same: ameriglo operator rear (tritium lamps, no white outline, looks like a black rear during daytime), and a proglo front (tritium lamp with dayglo orange outline). As fast as a fiber optic front with black rear, but turns into 3 dot night sights in dark. The glock especially: during daytime shooting, it's easy to do very accurate, very fast shooting, and keeping track of the front sight is instinctive. I love this setup, and highly recommend it.

Looks like that one's made by Champion. Definitely a good option. I wonder what the notch size is?

Well, I really like a wide rear and a narrowish front. My glock 35 has a .140 rear with a .100 front fiber, and I love it. I was looking really hard at the K-1, but all the breakage issues are making me kind of nervous. I think it's between Dawson and Infinity. Infinity's rear sight looks really nice.

The SV's look perfect. I'll look into them. Keep the suggestions coming. Thanks y'all.

So, I have a Les Baer premier II with 3 dot tritium sights, bomar rear. I've been kicking around my options for replacing the sights. I love the gun, but the sights are just wrong for me: too narrow rear, too wide front, and I hate 3 dot sights. The obvious fix would be to get the rear switched to a solid black bomar, and the front to whatever, probably fiber optic. However, a fixed rear could also be an option, a la Harrison Custom. Are there any other options out there? I just need to know who to look at. Thanks.

I went the "build your own" route, and I can't recommend it enough. You will learn the ins and outs of the system so much better that way than any form of reading or listening to experts. If you can think mechanically, as far as how the entire system works together, you will be better served in the future. Plus, I enjoyed the heck out of it, and really feel like it's truly "my" rifle.

Something else to think about is what your surroundings look like. I prefer green, and it works really well for me because I live in the desert, where the backstop that I'm shooting at is reddish, so the green doesn't ever get lost. I wonder if the people who live and shoot in greener areas prefer red for the same reason?
