To prevent getting into trouble getting off topic lets make a thread for discussion on Guns and Glasses!!!! Why? Cause MERICA!!!! That's why!!!!

NOTE: No threats of violence in the topic... this is about self defense and sport shooting only! No one wants to shoot someone cause we are mad or anything like that please!

What do you carry?

What do you shoot at the range?

What glasses do you use when shooting? Since this is in the off topic thread you can show your non Oakley shooting glasses...

3 Great topics to start.... Now go....

The 3 fundamental rules of gun safety are: Always treat every gun as if it is loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, and always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

Elaboration:
  1. Treat every gun as if it is loaded:
    .Opens in new tab
    This rule emphasizes the importance of constant awareness and respect for firearms, regardless of whether you believe they are loaded or not. Even if you're sure a gun is unloaded, it can still be misloaded or have ammunition in the chamber, so treat it as if it could be fired.

  2. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot:
    .Opens in new tab
    This rule reinforces the importance of trigger discipline. It prevents accidental or unintentional discharges by ensuring your finger is not on the trigger unless you are actively and consciously making the decision to fire. Your finger should be resting along the side of the gun or on the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.

  3. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction:
    .Opens in new tab
    This rule ensures that even if a gun discharges accidentally, it is pointed in a direction where it won't cause injury or damage. A safe direction means the gun is pointed at a location where no one can be hit, and it's away from anything you wouldn't want to destroy.
And two more I live by....

Never point a firearm in the direction of anything you are not willing to destroy or kill, even accidentally!

and

Where the bullet lands you are responsible for so be sure of your background and never point a gun in the air and shoot it over a long distance unless you have an intended target!

I must add as well that TRAINING with your weapon not only makes you better and capable of using it in a real situation it also makes you safer to handle the weapon in the field. If you have never taken any form of firearm safety courses then sign up for one before you pull the trigger for the first time. If you need help finding a course in your area you can PM me and I will assist you in finding a course. There are courses offered for all types of shooting but the fundamentals are the same. Do not consider yourself safe just because you read the rules of safety. There is nothing that replaces firearm training like having a range instructor help you learn.

That vector dust showed looked like something from a spy movie, I would love to see pics of them being fired if possible
They are pretty sweet... and a touch pricey!!! I have more of a KelTec budget cause I spend a ton of money on glasses 🤣
@DrDust57 is kinda committed to providing that video since got us all 🍆 with that pic!!!
 
Yep just YouTube the Kriss Vector u will see it there. The Kriss Vector has a really neat chambering of rounds and the recoil is very minimal!!! Yea they are pricey. I have several pistol and rifle form. Ok I collect to much cool ****. And since Ben mentioned kel tec budget I have two of these !!! One in pistol and one with the foldable brace in the coolest round I believe the 5.7 round. Ok off to bed 🛌 for me. Have a great day guys.

Ya know…it’s kinda ironic. I was a card carrying “Light Weapons Specialist” and now only have three Glocks around…my EDC, a Glock 43 and a couple 19s for bedside 😏

I use an M-Frame Alpha on the range…but have been traveling so much we have not been in months 😳

Not much I can add to this thread. Unless I dig into my historic stuff…fun to look at though 🪖👍

Easily one of the best models ever made!!!! Love to shoot them and personally love Kel Tec for their functional and affordable creations. What few know about them is their primary production is not even guns but is helicopter parts. The guns came along as a filler for the company when they were not working on copter contracts. Then it got so big they made a division just for the guns.

That is why I put glasses in the topic so you can show those off too 😂 This is an all inclusive thread! A G43 is a very capable weapon man... in the right hands you really do not need much more to defend yourself. If I was not such a lover of hammer guns I would likely carry one to!
