Just wondering if any problems with hitting a bump or obstacle too hard the gun falls out of it?

I would imagine that it wouldn't unless it has weak magnets or you hit a really big bump. I find strong magnets really hold things in. Interesting design where you cock your gun on it.

A firearm should always be ready for offensive/defensive use. Why a person would carry without one already in the chamber is beyond me.

For that firearm to be ready for use, it should be where you left it. That magnetic holder will not hold the gun in a crash. The gun will come loose and you may not know where it edns up.

If you are going to mount a gun holder in your car, mount an actual holster so the gun can't come loose in a crash.

I wouldn't use that mount anyway. I want my gun on me.

Same here.

The only gun holder I use in a car is a basic security box in case I have to run in somewhere my gun is not allowed. It is only a short-term solution since those boxes are not really secure.

I have had a DDM4V7LW for about ten years. I mounted a Eotech XPS2 Red dot and Eotech quick release 3x multiplier. I suggest replacing the trigger with a short pull 1.5lb. You are going to love shooting it at the range.

Anyone with astigmatism have recommendations on a red dot? My right eye used to be the better of the two, but after I had lasik my right eye astigmatism got worse.

Looking for something for a 5.56 AR pistol, 1x, and not bulky.

I've been looking at the Vortex Spitfire AR and the Vortex Razor 3MOA. Reviews say the Spitfire is great for astigmatism, but I like the low profile of the Razor. I have a Strikefire on my DPMS rifle and it's been great, but I do notice my astigmatism with it.

I've heard the Holosun red dot sights are great for people with astigmatism. Similar footprint as the Trijicon RMR and offers solar and a "shake awake" feature.

I use the Sig Sauer Romeo series red dots. The dot is crisp and the glass is pretty clear. It works well with my astigmatism.

Holosun manufactures the Sig Sauer Romeo red dots. We get an LEO discount from them and their warehouse is a mile from our station.

I have a 2011 Staccato C2 DUO. That was more of a YOLO purchase though.

chowser51 · 04-06-2022, 03:29 AM

Love my Staccato P and C2. But never carry them.
I’m looking into a Wilson EDC X9 for a “1911”ish carry gun.
Was looking at a Springfield EMP but they burned me when they discontinued the 911 and still let me order extra mags for it with the gun. I got the extra mags and they still haven’t told me the 911 was discontinued. At least they didn’t charge me for the gun.

Donatello. · 04-06-2022, 08:38 PM

I finally was able to pick up my new Geissele SD rifle today. I've already outfitted it with a scope and other crap. Ordered some offset Troy BUIS for it tonight.

Also took my new HK VP9 and Kimber Rapide Dawn 1911 to the range last weekend. What fun that was. I still need to fire my new Kel-Tec RDB lol

///d · 04-07-2022, 07:06 AM

Picked up my Obsidian Arms 5.56 pistol. Stamp submitted for the can. Going to run a Dead Air Sandman-S. Still unsure what I want do to for a red dot, but tonight I'm going to the range with a buddy who has a Holosun and a 3x magnifier, so we will see how that looks with my astigmatism.

Burnt C6 · 04-07-2022, 08:31 AM

I picked up a new Toy last weekend. Nothing high end but American made.

45 ACP. came with a 9 round mag but I ordered 2 20 round. One thing I'm doing is getting rid of the cheap sights and putting on a Red Dot.

chowser51 · 04-08-2022, 07:46 AM

sorry missed the post earlier. we're issued RM01 red dots at work and the auto adjust sucks for my astigmatism. I barely passed the red dot instructor course because of my astigmatism. I replaced it with the RM06 and adjust it to as dim as possible and I have no issues.

I guess I could get glasses.

I had lasik over 20 years ago and a touch up 7 years ago. No longer a candidate for anymore touch ups.

I considered the LASIK/PRK route but decided against it due to the rapid decline friends/partners have experienced after 8-ish years. The touch ups were also cost prohibitive. I just stick with glasses/semi rigid contacts or I just go without either.

chowser51 · 04-08-2022, 02:36 PM

I went to Cleveland Clinic for it way back when because they were offering discounts for first responders and free lifetime touchups. My corneas could only do one touch up. I couldn't do contacts. I'm glad I was authorized to get the adjustable RMR to help with my astigmatism. Vision is still holding good. Just got to make it 391 more days.

I am jealous. Truly!
