I have mounted a new tactical light to my Glock but I don't really know how to secure it properly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Please look at the pictures and offer better ideas than a rubber band if you have any.
Thanks,
Eaker
Don't talk to me about the Sidewinder. I asked them in 97 or 98 when it would be available for the Remington 870. They said, 12 months. Well, has it been 12 months yet? It's not available for Remington 870, that's for sure.
"There's just something kinda Ewwwwww, about a boy who don't play baseball."
Say....Why dontcha just step that up a little and fry the 'target'? (might be usefull taking out noxious weeds, too!)
You'd save on ammo, even if you didn't get that gratifying bang/recoil/ping of bouncing brass and whiff of gunsmoke...
BTW one of the guys out at the rig had one of the high-end surefire lights. On a moonless night he could light up the crown blocks like daylight (about 150 ft. up, an area about 12X12). The downside, of course is cost and feeding it 6 packs of lithium batteries...
help with what, Eak?
*grins*
whaddaya plannin' ta do? Melt the perp's head off?
Naw ya see...with that particular light on the Glock, you just hit your target with it, hold it for a couple of seconds, and then dust the little ashpile (which used to be your target) into a dustpan and dispose of properly. :-)
Think about the "pores" in the metal....ie clean a firearm after a range day, clean it till ya get clean patches visable......next day run a patch through it.....dirty black carbon, etc etc ....
My CHL rig gets cleaned three days after range day.
Check it out....and let me know what ya find !....:o)
Three days later? I'm not quite sure I'm following you here. But you've got a GOOD point about the pores in the metal. We started using Kroil-Oil when I shot with a bunch of 1000 yard shooters a couple of years ago. You clean...and clean...and clean....until the patch is clean. Then wait an hour, run another patch with Kroil on it thru the bore and it comes out as if you had JUST fired the thing!
Wait...
I did hear a rumor that he did hit the ground when he fell...once...
So yes...I think he might be ok with this "new system"...
I'm just going to avoid that part of Houston at night-time thank you very much...
I don't want to be confused as a deer-in-the-headlight look...K?
Yep three days.....clean it every day for three days after ya shoot a few hundred rounds.....more so the bore and chamber .
On that third day you'll see carbon deposits even.....
That was our SOP for duty weapons and it's just a habit that has stuck. Albeit a problem when I shoot every third day now .....:o)
I use the sonic dunk tanks for my 1911A1's......I just remove the grips, strip it and drop it in overnight.
Suprising what one misses when they "think" it's a done job. I have detail cleaned part yet when the little sonic cleaners have a shot at the process they seem to finds a bunch of carbon residue.....
Give it a try !
Sniff..........
Some of us just buy a new gun for every shoot.
Why bother cleaning as at only $600.00 to $1200.00 each they are disposable.
Sniff.......
You may have point if the price of gun scrubber gets and higher.......
I wish!
I learn something new from you on every thread!
Sometimes it is stuff I would be better off not knowing ........ but it is new!
Class dismissed !.........:o)
O.K. I'll try it! :-) We're supposed to go shoot SOON. Probably this next weekend coming up.
