    If nothing else, the leverage it gives New Yorkers to fight 2.0 is significant.

    #1 Limit the safe act to downstate counties - bill in committee

    Did this a while back. My mother and her 5 brothers, and three of five sister did this. My in-laws did. My wife has. I’m gonna go to work tonight and have them as well.

    Mod-K Armory's take on a M&P 2.0"x"

    You’re absolutely right. They’ll go over how you shot and killed a man. If you’d do it again. What precipitated the event. Of course. However, if they can chip away at your integrity and the jury’s view of you. Then they’ll win. I give the $2.5 Million that Zimmerman owes in legal fees a ton of...

    Mod-K Armory's take on a M&P 2.0"x"

    Will the jury know that or care. No. They see a young man sniveling over details about his “precious” and not that he did fire the Gucci Glock in self defense. The prosecutor is painting you into a corner. Your defense attorney will do everything to get you out, but he’s got a lot of damage to...

    Mod-K Armory's take on a M&P 2.0"x"

    Oh, my apologizes. (Depending on your age and the age of the jury, you may look like an all-knowing asshole.) M&P. You must’ve put a lot of time and money into that gun. I mean, it’s so modified. The only thing meeting factory specifications anymore is the frame. So really, Glock, M&P? What’s...

    So you lied to the police when you told them you shot Mr. Smith? We have the 911 recording and the dectectives interview tapes. We also have gunshot residue on your hands and clothes. Your registered, heavily modified killing mach— sorry, your honor, gun at the scene with only your prints on it...

    Mod-K Armory's take on a M&P 2.0"x"

    You have solid point. Now explain that to the 37 year old Bernie Sanders voter who wants your guns gone. Oh, and only do it using yes and no. You can answer the question, but rarely can you fully explain the answer when the prosecutor asks. Your defense will let you explain but not before having...

    Positive Experience with NYS Trooper

    Sounds like a good encounter all the way around. I get why an average LEO might dislike citizens carrying. Their perception of most are shined in a negative light due to the nature of their work. I think as the average LEO has more and more positive encounters with the average carrying citizen...

    You modify a gun such as this and shoot someone with you, if it’s even a slightly questionable shoot you’re in for a lot of “Why?” That you’ve got explain to 12 not-gun-folks.

    Crimson Trace Worth the money ? For a H&K VP9 SK

    Depends on the style of Crimson Trace. Some, like my father-in-law’s revolver has an in-grip activation meaning if you’re drawing it’s already on. So, if you’re holding a choke point such as a door, it gives you away since you’re likely panicked and holding the grip firmly enough to activate the...

    Yup. Area denial in a mass shooter scenario is a very successful strategy. Lights out. Shut up. Deny targets.

    Bang Zoom, Now You're a Felon!

    Only if you let it. We are not terribly outnumbered. One major hurdle is, as Americans, we’ve had laziness bred into us over the years. If every CCW’er in NY voted that’s 16,000+ votes. That’s enough to hurt either party’s bottom line during an election cycle.

    Bang Zoom, Now You're a Felon!

    You have to do something. Anything more than peaceful protesting and we will have given them a real reason to demonize us. Not just some media scripted snippet. Letting your representatives know you do not support a bill and bringing the threat of never voting for them again is small, but...

    Shooting Glasses, Red Dots?

    If they’re just filtering out blue light you should see no issue with seeing the red dot. The problem is mostly that you will have significantly more red and distracting colors in your field of view. This is just based off what I know from experience with color theory.

    Anyone else use a MantisX?

    It’s a live fire, dry fire or CO2 trainer. It uses a gyroscope and accelerometer to determine if there are areas in your trigger take-up, pull and follow-through that can be improved. I’ve found it to be really helpful in my dry-fire training since I’ve gotten it. I’ve improved my reload speed...
