I paid $70 + tax for a 200 round pack of CBC M193 today (35 cpr + tax) because good LGS is good.

Even though I probably like the gen4 more than gen5. My LGS has it for sale for $455 but no deals on sights.
Does anyone even notice the U notch compared with the square? Only tried the U once and didn't notice much, but some guys swear it's better

I mean, Ameriglo night sighted G19 Gen5 for $508...'course there's the old reliable Gen4 for $425 with stock sights too.

Yeah I think I might have to do it. A real world in-my-hands comparison between my Gen4 and the Gen5. As you say, worst case, I decide I don't like the Gen5 I'm sure I can get the money back or trade it on a Gen4.

Looking for a decent scope for my mini 14 (I know, I know, check my location and it will all make sense). I'm looking at a Nikon Prostaff which seems to be getting decent reviews on Amazon. I don't want to spend a ton of money because it is a mini14 after all. I know Leupold makes an excellent product... pricey, but awesome. I don't know too much about optics yet.

I didn't expect him to know more than 75% or so of what I put in the review. Not fun but worth the effort for me.What kind of stupid evil sh!t is making you review yourself for your own job? There is no way that has ever had a positive effect on job satisfaction or productivity. I'm so glad I don't have to do that crap any more.

You don't want to build the habit of just shoving it back in right away after drawing/shooting, it's good to be in the habit of looking around, and re-holstering is a great time to have an ND with most popular modern pistols IE striker fired so a little extra care is warranted, especially appendix.

Yeah I doubt I will carry both at once. I was just trying my new belt out and decided to put them both on but I will 95% be likely carrying at 4 o' clock with one of them and not appendix.

Whenever i'm training holstering/re-holstering, i always yell "DRAW!!!: as i do it so it gives me the urgency.
so then if i'm ever fighting for my life and have to pull the gun, i'll be conditioned to yell 'DRAW!!!" and make it that much better and faster

I have no idea how to find a video or picture example of this, though, so hopefully you know what I mean.
