They will. It's a comfy grip, but the finger grooves are made for some "ideal" hand that no one actually has. If you're coming to Turducken I know kaaniepoo has one of those on one of his sticks.

I also have a Fab Defense magwell grip that I am a huge fan of. It gives me an option to tuck my support hand real in real tight for bench or close quarters shooting

Weren't we talking about this a little while ago? Can't remember if it was this thread or another, but it seems the invasion of privacy may become a concern with drones that is recognized by the court systems:

Re: Official MM Firearms Thread - WRXtranceformed - 11-08-2015
Thinking about trading in on or straight up trading my Aimpoint PRO for a longer distance scope. It is a great optic but it's mostly useless for any shooting in the 25yd + range. If I had a Tavor SAR or a sweet tactical bulpup it would be ideal for "close quarters" stuff but the red dot basically covers the entire target at 25 yards. Any recommendations for a scope in the similar price range? I don't really even know what questions to ask in terms of what I am looking for..realistically it would be great to be able to actually see a bullseye between 25-100 yards. I don't see myself shooting at 250yds+ with this rifle with this setup but anything that could give me up to 200yds I guess would be a bonus. I would love to be able to keep my MBUS (which I have to call Magpul on Monday and see if they will send me a new screw as it backed out at some point and the sight is just floating around), but I don't know if it's realistic to find a scope with that kind of magnification that is short enough to let me do that.
Thoughts / recommendations?
Re: Official MM Firearms Thread - CaptainHenreh - 11-08-2015
first let me say that my Eotech has regularly run steel at 200+ yards, so maybe the correct answer ought to be "get good n00b".
I wouldn't go higher than 4x, but 3x is a nice level of magnification for an AR. So, you could do a TA-33 if you're baller. If you're less baller, there's a handful of prismatics in the 3x/4x range that all work pretty well. Primary Arms, Vortex, Burris, all have good options.

It's not an issue necessarily hitting something at 200 yards, but if you set up a small paper target at that distance and you want to put a 2" spread in the bullseye with a PRO, you need to have robot eyes. The red dot pretty much covers half the target even at 25 yds.
My buddy had a 3x vortex I think on his that you could switch to red or green, it also had distance marks in the reticle and a permanent reticle. Much preferred that especially from bench rest. I'll have to do some digging and see which his was.
Just looked up the TA-33, haha whoa brah nah I'm good. That costs more than my entire rifle did. Whenever I build a long distance shooter someday I'll put a super high end scope on it but imma try to stick in the same range this thing is worth ($350-400)

If you wanna "do it right" you pretty much always end up putting more money in glass than in stick.
But that said, my burris 3x prismatic was cheap and I looooooove it.

Basically anywhere. But you should keep it for a "ringing steel" AR build.

Maybe I will hold on to it. Spoke to Magpul customer service today, no questions asked they are mailing me a new MBUS screw :thumbup:
Re: Official MM Firearms Thread - Apoc - 11-14-2015
What do you CCW/CPL guys do when you're going to places where firearms aren't permitted (e.g. work)? Do you leave them at home, lock them up in your vehicle, or just say f it and carry anyway?
Re: Official MM Firearms Thread - JustinG - 11-14-2015
If it's "we prefer you not carry here" What you don't know won't hurt you, or I'll just get asked to leave.
If I'm going to jail if you find my sidearm, it's locked in the car if I am carrying and happen to have to go a place banning firearms, or locked in my nightstand safe.

Best bang for your buck optic of a M&P 15-22?

Basically this.
Re: Official MM Firearms Thread - ispoonwithmugen - 11-16-2015
That looks great... also excuse my ignorance, but what about closer range optic? I literally has a bare top at the moment, no iron sights or anything.

For a .22?
You're overthinking it.
Re: Official MM Firearms Thread - 95SVTCobra - 11-18-2015
Okay ladies and gentlemen, I might be in the market soon for an entry level .12 gauge shotgun. I was thinking Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500, but could be persuaded to get something else. Mostly want the shotgun for skeet, target, and just an all around decent starter shotgun. Which one would you pick, and why? Or do you have another company/model you prefer?
Re: Official MM Firearms Thread - WRXtranceformed - 11-18-2015
If skeet and target are two of your main uses I would see what your budget looks like for a decent semi-auto. You can shoot clays with a pump but it's definitely not ideal at all
