I have zero complains. You know firearms people - they will nit pick anything. "Yeah but if a Martian invades with a 40 watt plasma rifle, the nickel cadmium coating will stand up to one more shot than a standard glock........."

I am also old and getting blind - the sights on the SAS I can see with or without my glasses - day or night. Great setup.

Hit the NRA in Houston in a few weeks and see one in person........

I have not carried another gun in street clothes since I found this combo.

They nailed it.

DITTO on the Kore belt... I don't know that I can ever go back to a "standard" type belt ever again ?!?

I have a few KORE belts and you're right, there's no going back.

I have bought 4 Kore belts for my friends that laughed at me for going on about "a belt" - even when not carrying. I told them to wear it a month and if they don't like it - I'll take it back as a back up. I didn't get any of them back and 2 of them have already bought more of them.

I really wish I would have tried them earlier. ALWAYS the perfect fit - no in-betweens.

I finally broke in my HK SP5 last weekend & then realized why the optics did not cooperate while trying to zero...the rail was canted lol.

Fixed now and will start over next range trip. Hopefully, will get to break in my Century Arms AP5-P on that trip too

From the photos the fire controls have either safe or semi. Note the difference in a fire control switch for select fire.

I am going to off topic this thread for a brief moment because I am genuinely curious how us gun owners are felling about expanded background checks, and raising the minimum age to purchase a fire arm? It's sad that it takes horrific events for us to consider these changes, but I for one really can't stand thinking about little kids being gunned down. Literally gives me chills.

As some background, I am a new Texan, firearms owner, including AR-15s, and am in support of expanded background checks and a higher minimum age to purchase a firearm.

According to NBC I am not alone, in fact the majority, but am never really sure if I can trust those polls.

What are your opinions?

PS - My favorite gun to shoot is my 6.5 Ruger Precision Rifle

I ended up spending almost 3 years in the US Army after being drafted in 1967. I was qualified on the M-14, M-16 and M-60.

I spent 12 months in the 25th Infantry Division in Vietnam, out near the Cambodian border. I have witnessed up close and personal what assault weapons can do to the human body. Once you see it, you can't forget it.

When I returned home I sold my .22 rifles and pistol, only keeping the Marlin .22 bolt-action tube feed rifle my dad gave me. I eventually gave it to my son. I lost all taste for firearms.

As to assault rifles, I don't see the need. There are plenty of non-assault firearms on the market that are suitable for game hunting and target practice.

The intent of the 2nd Amendment is not game hunting and target practice.

It's just an opinion. And if enough of you have it, I suppose there will be an "amendment" to the "Second Amendment".

So what's your stance on expanded background checks and a higher minimum age?

[tomjonesBT33]

The 2nd amendment was written over 200 years ago due to "the lingering resentment over the widespread efforts of the British to confiscate the colonists' firearms at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War." (source Wikipedia)

Honestly - does anyone here seriously feel that at some point in their life they'll need to need to take up arms against a foreign invader?? Tell me why an individual really needs to be able to own gun. Home invasion? A baseball bat will do. Protect yourself at a shootout in the Walmart parking lot? There wouldn't be a shootout if individuals weren't allowed to own guns.

It's completely dumbfounding how selfish so many conservatives are because they prioritize their individual 'rights' above the greater good. Above the safety of innocent children.

Society is about compromise. Everyone needs to give a little to make things work and make things better for all. No one should expect to get what they want 100% of the time.

[Dpc2u]

Careful, its getting political which the mods will end.

Anyway, went and put some rounds downrange with my Armalite Rifle today. Yep, doesn't stand for Assault Rifle.

Pro gun here. Own multiple firearms. That being said, it is way too easy to purchase a gun. We need:

Mandatory training, written, and firing tests. If you’re not accurate, you shouldn’t own one;
Doctor’s note of mental health check;
Waiting period minimum of 30 days; and,
Extensive background check even for private sales.

That’s just a start. It bothers me that there’s more paperwork to purchase a car than a firearm.

How much more difficult does it need to be? In California - one of the most anti-2A states in the union - you have to pass a written test and complete a background check with the DOJ. That is reasonable. The second amendment isn't a right given with contingencies (…mandatory training, accuracy, etc.). The onus is on the owner, just like everything else that requires proficiency to be good at. We already have background checks for private sales here and we already have waiting periods (…Why the arbitrary 30 day suggestion? What makes 30 days any better than 10 days?). Mental health is an issue, but now you're sliding down a slippery slope when you start mandating medical records. You start giving the government that level of control and it won't be long before it's infringing on areas of your life that it wasn't intended to.

Ask the citizens of Australia or Cuba that question. I'm sure you'd get a mouthful. The second amendment was written for BOTH foreign AND domestic invaders (…which could be an assault from your own government). There's a reason the U.S. is the last true free society, and that's because, as a people, we have a means of defense.

You are naive as hell if you think a baseball bat is going to do anything for you. It's apparent you are anti-2A, but this country was founded using firearms. It's engrained in the culture of this country.

….and stop blaming guns and gun owners for that tragedy in Texas. Disgusting!

This isn't an issue of age. Age, in and of itself, does not necessarily coincide with being more or less responsible. Training, education, etc. have far more to do with that than age, and training/education begins in the home. How much more expanded would you like the background check to be? Serious question.

"Assault rifle" is a misnomer used by the anti-gun crowd. AR-15's aren't assault rifles. Arguably, it is easier to be accurate and efficient with an AR-15 than it is a semi-automatic handgun.
