Wow

One of my old roommates retired from there last week. Know a guy named Reaves?

Cool story. I was in during the transition from the AV8A to the AV8B. Did you do depot work at Cherry Point? I understand it is called Naval Aviation Depot now but we always knew it as NARF, Naval Aviation Rework Facility.

Stream light TLR-7 SUB on my P365. I just bought an Echelon 4.0c off gunbroker and when it arrives I plan to put the same light or the non SUB model on it

Does Range USA ever clean the rentals? This is how I got it.

Well, the answer is… yes I should. Went to Range USA and put 50 rounds through. I was surprised by how flat it shoots and how it returns right back on target. When the wife gets pissed at me for buying it I am going to blame it on all of you!!! Order placed.

I just went to Range Usaa at lunch to run a quick box through an Echelon to see if I want to buy one. While signing the waiver I noticed that in order to shoot you had to produce your FOID card if in IL. WTH?

So you periodically must return for a refresher?

That is starting for me as well! 🤦‍♂️

Everything I own except one gun has a red dot now. In a traditional sight set up, square notch and front post, my old eyes are not good enough anymore to focus in for alignment. The dot allows me to get on target quickly.

If I manage to hit the paper I am sure that I will be adding one to the stable within the week. So, not taking your bet LOL

I appreciate the info. I am looking forward to renting one tomorrow and see how I can shoot it. Thank you for the info.

I will second the TFX Pro. I upgraded the sights on a CZ P-01 I had to those. Excellent glow. I had the 3 dot variant though and not the U

I saw that too. LOL

I was strictly an airframer but was part of the engine change team if we lost an engine away from base. Home base was MCAS Cherry Point and I was with VMA-542. When we did lose an engine I helped both hydraulics shop and powerline do their part as well. It was normally just an 8 to 10 man team...

What was 6094? I was in from 1984 to 1988. 6095 Was an Aviation Structural Mechanic on AV8 Harriers.

LOL!!!!! By the Way, the orange Crayola is the best!!

Thank you for all the info and I appreciate the TY for the service. I made a phone call and the local Range USA has one for rent so I know what I will be doing tomorrow at lunch. I am hoping that they will allow me to try the different backstraps during my range session as well. As far as sights...

I remember about half but in my younger years, before the USMC, I had no interest in guns. I did have a nice Dan Wesson .357 pack with interchangeable barrels for a few years.

I respect your choice.
