    what r ur 2 handguns of choice?

    Which one made you pro

     

     

    Hopefully you mean proficient, and not professional. I am barely one and by no means the other...

     

    Anyway, I should have said the HK .45 (USP Elite)

     

    It may have something to do with the 6 inch barrel...

     

    This is in comparison to my Kimber Raptor and Springfield Armory Operator .45s.

    I'm not tryingto be a smartazz. But can you tell me that you had the best of everything? You need the best when fighting for are coutry

     

    No, I can't say that I had the best of everything...but I can say that I had the best that was offered at the time the decision was made to purchase item "x".

     

    Like anything today, equipment and technology is outdated almost by the time it hits the store shelves...it is hard for the military to keep up without spending an exponentially larger amount of money. A compromise has to be made somewhere.

     

    So, sorry for mistaking your comment for azz-hattery. I think the DoD is doing the best that they can. (Trying to get a wheeled vehicle to do 60MPH with the crew in relative comfort and withstand a high order blast from a 6 pack of EFPs is a daunting task.)

    does any of you have either a HK mark 23 or a HK 45? if so, how satisfied are you with them?

     

    Straightest shooting pistol out of the box that I have ever seen.

     

    I'm a pretty poor pistol shot, and this thing made me look like I knew what I was doing.

    I've had one since 2005...carried it for an entire year in IZ, and it never failed to perform.

     

    Of course, it was issued while I was in the Army, but I've heard that doesn't mean anything. :)

    just think what would happen if the bayonet got stuck in the guts of the attacker! a gut-grab so to say!

     

    "Discharging the weapon should release the bayonet from the abdominal cavity..."

     

    That's what they told me in the Army...as I thought to myself, "If I still have a round left, I'll not be using my bayonet."

     

    In Iraq, the bayonets stayed in the arms room...cold steel assaults are most likely a thing of the past.

    Does anyone know how to remove the rear sight on a SBEII with a slug barrel ? thanks

     

    Looks like you can take out the rear blade/adjustment assembly, but the sight foundation itself is there to stay unless you want to do some metal work. (There may be some set screws under the sight assembly, but I seriously doubt it.)

     

    As I look at mine, it appears that a very small roll pin acts as the pivot point/securing mechanism...a small roll pin punch should do the trick. (I wouldn't try anything but a roll pin punch unless you like scratches on that pretty barrel.)

     

    Hope this helps....

    Optics on a benelli M4? Which one and why?

    in Benelli

    Yeah, if you never take it out of the box :rolleyes:

     

    Iffytech is nowhere NEAR as robust as the Aimpoint. They drain batteries turned off, they break often according to postings on other forums by guys over in the sand-box. Often just from the rifle being dropped.

     

    Understanding that opinions vary, and generally based on what equipment the submitter owns (I am no exception), I will submit that I had to send around 20 percent of my company's CompM4's to the Rock Island boy's at Balad for various reasons...chief among them was a busted power knob. (The only higher percentage was the Trijicon ACOG)

     

    Knowing the physics behind dropping a 9 pound weapon on a 9 ounce sight will tell you that most won't survive...I think that the EOTech has less stuff to break, although there is a trade-off with battery consumption and size.

     

    If we take general a$$-hattery out of the picture, most sights will never see the abuse, and then it becomes a matter of what you want to look through, and look at.

    Might get optics for to swtich between my AK47 and Benelli M4. Other than battery life what makes the eotech or aimpoint better? How much better is the shotgun with these at close and moderate range?

     

    I've use both...and they are both good optics. The Aimpoint will be a little smaller and will allow for more vision around the sight. The EOTech is a lot larger, but a little more robust.

     

    The battery life on an Aimpoint is incredible when compared against an EOTech, and I also prefer Aimpoint's power knob versus the up/down push buttons that EOTech offers.

     

    I prefer EOTech's mounting method versus the Aimpoint, and no optional equipment is required for them besides a Picatinny rail.

     

    The other key difference is that the EOTech utilizes a red dot/crosshair combination for varying POA while the typical Aimpoint uses a simple red dot. (Hence the longer battery life.)

     

    In the end, they are both capable sights. The biggest reason for using them is that it is easier and faster to place a red dot on the target vice lining up two seperate ends of a sight.
