AR-15 Magazines
I’ve checked with distributors and at your web site and the only versions I see of your SS AR mags are with CS springs. Is there an option to order them with SS springs?? I know you guys are slammed right now and don’t expect an immediate response but I’d sure like to add to my AR-15 Magazines "collection" if I can get "maintenance free" mags (SS bodies and SS springs). Thanks for providing the products and services that you do.

Trijicon
At 3X30, the magnification is supreme for Trijicon Minute of Man shooting and my eyes adjust quickly using the BAC. The glass is perfect as you’d expect from Trijicon. For testing I used a different lower than pictured…one with a Geissele trigger so right off my 3 shot groups were 1.5MOA using 62gr SS109. This gun shoots 1/2 MOA easy so I just need to spend more than 1 box of ammo and practice some.

AR-15 Accessories
I’m completely and absolutely new to the AR-15 model rifle, and I only own a German K98k.
I’m looking into getting once of these magnificent firearms, but I have no idea as to where to start, can you help a clueless newbie?
I’m trying to get one before the price goes up anymore that they already have, but I’m not looking to spend a ton.
thanks in advance.
That being said, I have a midlength gas system on my 6.8 AR15 accessories SPR.

I carry my G23 (same size as the 19) in a Galco gun holsters SkyOps. I want to try a C-TAC or M-TAC but this one works fine for me. I like the fact that just the edges of the Y-hook show. If you dont know what to look for, cowboy holsters will never be
After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "Closing Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB Shoulder holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my Pocket Holster. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an Pistol Magazine. It was $80 and it came in a week. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.
One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon Shoulder holster is subpar, IMO.

Eotech
FWIW, Van, I talked to Russ McCallester (his phone number is listed under "Contacts" on EOTech’s site), a factory contact a couple of weeks ago. He answered the first time I called. I had similar questions, more related to a magnifier mount that would line up behind a 512 and still clear a BUIS (Troy). I have a LaRue upper, and the 512 will mount farther forward because the quad rail doesn’t stick up as high as your handguard. Russ told me to keep an eye on EOTech site in 2009. He couldn’t tell me anymore, but that leads me to believe that there are more mounting options coming for magnifiers and holosights. Maybe I just got lucky that Russ was near his phone when I called, buy you gotta remember that since November 4th, everyone in the firearms and accessories industry is extremely busy. They’re burning it at both ends. Heck, you mentioned LaRue’s legendary customer service. It’s still great, but 6 months ago I could call up with an order or a question and have a 5-minute BS session with whoever answered the phone. Now they don’t have time for that, because they’ve got a million other things to do. Just bear in mind that all these guys are working hard to make sure that we’re getting what we want, but there are only so many hours in the day.

Taurus 24/7 oss magazines
Purchased one recently and like it. I have run only Taurus 24/7 oss magazine rds only so far, rem 115 jhp and my reloads with 0 failures. I like the trigger, very short reset. I also like the manual safety which is very close my CD Hi Power, which makes for similar handling.
A lot of shooters don’t like the Heinie sights, but they are similar to Taurus 24/7 oss magazines sights on my HP and the factory sights on my Kahr, so I am familiar with them.
buy one if you can.

Blackhawk Holsters
I have no issue with Fobus Uncle Mikes Holsters. I trusted one to carry my M9 around various FOB’s in Afghanistan, granted when I left the wire my pistol holster moved up to my body armor mounted Blackhawk Serpa.
It was plenty comfortable for walking around and sitting down and such Blackhawk Holsters (it was belt mounted) and I never worried about my weapon falling out of it.

I’ve got an older Fobus roto-paddle holster for my Glock Magazines. It’s ok for range work or screwing around at home. Never thought about using for CCW even before all the talk about being able to rip it off. It just doesn’t conceal worth a damn unless you wear a bulky coat all the time. All in all, it’s worth the 20 bucks I paid for it 5 years ago as it’s held up fine for what I bought it for.

Browning Magazine
Got it yesterday. Shot it, fifty rounds of browning magazine 115s on steel. No problems, cept the steel was calibrated for .40 and I had to hit it that much higher to put it down. Hell, I finger fucked it so hard before I got the paperwork done I had already bled on it. I’ve bled on every one of my fighting pistols, its only the revolvers I don’t bleed on.
Somehow FedEx shipped it to QUEBEC first. How they did that I do not know. I was fortunate that they did not discover the contents of the package before they flew it back to the United States!

I wish they would’ve sent it here first instead!!! I am happy for you. Now where’s your pics?
Now don’t flame me for asking this and it’s kind of off topic, but I was thinking about it the other day. Would you dare shoot Wolf through that? I don’t know why I thought of it, I don’t even own any. I’m just curious. I have shot some through my browning magazines and even my 1911, but hobbs said I shouldn’t back in the day.

AR-15 Magazines
his, some folks like a bright follower, me I hate anything bright, I don’t even like stainless AR-15 magazines (to shiny).
Any chance Larry might give us a hint on how far backordered the SS ar-15 are, I’m still waiting on my order from 6 Nov. (I Know things are busy, the the e-mail said 2 weeks, and that was 4 weeks ago)
The stainless steel magazines are backlogged about 4 weeks. Again, we set aside each day internet orders and distributor/OEM. Each department is alloted a certain amount.

Uncle Mikes Holsters
Recently I have taken the time to purchase all Galco carry pieces for my Colt 1911 carry gun Holsters and also more leather Holster for the High Power….let me tell you, there is a WORLD of difference between Fobus/Uncle Mikes type stuff and Galco/Mitch Rosen/SafariLand type stuff.
You absolutely cannot afford to buy cheap leather/kydex for a carry piece any more than you can afford to put a Simmons scope and 12 dollar weaver mounts on a Steyr PSG….and expect decent results anyhow.
I’ve had 2 and love them. I had one for my Sigma and it didn’t hold it well but it did hold it. My Uncle Mikes Holsters Glock 22 locks into mine and will stay in through just about cowboy holster. Only problem with them is that they can be two hard to get off my Tactical holster. Not really that big of a deal.
I got news, don’t like cheap stuff, fine, don’t buy it. That Video is BS, because those two are obviously trying to break that holster. I suspect I could do somehting similar with most any brand of paddle concealment holster out there. Paddle holsters are about convenience, not ultimate security, if you want 100% security, buy an UM pro-3. Personally, I own a Fobus for almost every pistol holster I own, and just placed an order for 3 more. I have been Using Fobus since they came out, weekley, for IPSC and 3gun competitions, and have abused the heck out of them with ZERO problems. About a year ago, at a 3gun match, I fell during a stage. I was wearing a Fobus C21 1911 paddle Uncle Mikes Holster. I fell hard, directly on the Handgun Holster, with the rear sight of my pistol digging into a barricade. The concealment holster was strong enough that it ripped my jeans and flipped me over as I fell without breaking.
FObus haters are Just like Wolf Haters, they cannot be reasoned with or dissuaded. They feel if you didn’t spend as much money as possible or at least much as they did, then you are inferior as a human being. It’s your money, spend it however you like.

Gun control advocates play fast and loose
Now consider this statistic: Concealed handgun permit holders have killed 107 people since 2007. That news, from the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C., sounds pretty bad until you put it in context. How many Americans have been issued a permit to carry a concealed weapon? The Violence Policy Center doesn’t say. And it’s probably impossible to pin down a precise number, because records are kept on a state by state basis, and reporting criteria differ from state to state. But NRA estimates put the number in the neighborhood of 5 million, as of a couple of years ago. (The NRA adds that permit applications have jumped 50 percent since the 2008 elections which seems borne out at least here in Virginia. At present there are 211,435 active permits in the commonwealth. Just this year, Virginia courts have granted more than 62,000.) If that’s true, then the percentage of concealed carry permit holders who have killed someone with a firearm comes to two one thousandths of 1 percent.

CZ 75 magazines
A friend bought two boxes of WWB 9mm FMJ for me since I was broke and we went to the range. The CZ 75 magazines didn’t hiccup once. His PA-63 (9mm Makarov) was… interesting. The recoil drives the thing right into the web of your hand. Shoot it often enough and I can see some chafing occurring.
As for accuracy, I seemed to consistently hit about six inches low and to the left at 15 yards, though occasionally I was spot on. I think most of that was me and not the pistol though; my groupings were more like shotgun patterns. I am NOT at all in practice with handguns of any category. Fortunately, I’ve always been able to hit what I aim for (even drew my dad’s .357 revolver, cocked it, and put a round through a hog’s head at ten yards all in one motion. Without aiming.), and when I begin ranger training we’re going to spend a lot of time at the range with our handguns.
Overall, I’m pleased with my CZ 75 magazine. My only complaint is that the beavertail pattern on the plastic grip plates chafes my hand; I either need to toughen up my hands or get hard rubber grip plates. I don’t like the Hogue wrap-around grip.

After Heller case, D.C. homicides hit lowest number since ‘64
With just two days left in the year, according to preliminary numbers from the police department, the District has had 138 homicides compared with 184 at the same time last year, setting up the city to record the lowest number of homicides since 1964, when 132 were reported killed.
Pistol Holster
Crossbreed IWB is what I’ve carried my P228, G19, and G21SF in with great comfort. The clips on crossbreeds are a wear item, myself and two of my friends who all got crossbreeds about the same time all had to send them back for clip replacement around the two year mark, but we got excellent safariland tactical holsters.
All that said, when I get my next ccw piece, It will be the MTAC.
Are you using it the right way? It’s a retention holster. You have to pull the pistol forward and then up to get it out. Most of the problems I see with these are because the shooter is trying to pull the pistol straight up. The holster is designed to resist that so I can’t grab your pistol from behind gun holsters .
It takes a little practice to make it a natural cowboy holster.
if you plan on foot pursuits, strap it tight or your gun will end up in front of your thigh in about 2 strides. I usually kept mine real snug but unsnapped the top strap if I was not about to jump out because it can get unconfortable when its on for a lTactical holsters.
