I like the new iron night sights from XS. I have one question. Why would the front sight be not very visible in the dark? When you hit it with light or flashlight it glows. In the dark I only see the rears well. I love these sights otherwise. Gun is BG 2.0
Ok just got in from our 2 day on the PV. We just didn’t want to got to the tanner. We all have a bunch of bluefin. We fished the pens and some patty hopping. Water was 76. I hooked at least 20 yellowfin. I won day one Jackpot with the dorado. Day 2, I caught this close to 50 lb yellowfin and I won day 2 Jackpot. Most of us were old enough to know how to run pinhead anchovies. We had 4 marlin strikes and we got this 160 lb on a marlin jig. I’m dreading my fish processing bill tomorrow
Here is what rods I take for a 2 day. 7 rods. Like one of my buddy says they ain’t gonna catch shit sitting at home.
Anyone out there eating bullet tuna? I heard it’s dark meat. My life long fishing buddy said his nephew caught and ate some and said it was good. Going to make polo today? Anyone?
Heading out with my charter group called the Desert Rats Fishing Team. We have 5 charters limited load that goes out on the Pacific Voyager. So far I went 3 times do to a few surgeries. Limited on bft all 3 times. I did get my pb 34 lb yellowtail too. Just getting too expensive. Like $2k if I use the fish processors. My bill last trip was $365. Trip is $960 including meals. Then like $200 min tip. Say $350 processing. Fuel surcharge maybe $60. All the other brings, you spend money on Galley tab. I was a little worried about the weather, but it looks like it’s gonna be medium out there not too sporty. I’ll post it when I get in.
I’m glad i listened too the guys that said to polish the feed ramps. I really didn’t want to send her in. I qualified with the Bodyguard today. All the way to 40 feet. So the adjustments on the front sight and the 600 rounds of mostly flat tipped ammo and I have a new edc. Never thought I would replace the 26. She eats critical defense and has not had an issue with it. I see why so many have gone to a pocket .380 like these. Shit to be able to carry 30 extra rounds like it’s 10 round mag of 9 milly. Winning.
How many of you shoot to keep recent, and not really to get better. I’m like this. The more rounds I shoot per outing the worse I get. I mainly shoot like once a week to keep recent. I just don’t think I am doing myself a service by shooting more rounds. My hands sweat and my thyroid gives me tremors. Seams like when I get a new edc, I shoot it quite a bit to get it ready to hit the streets. Like my echelon. It is sighted in and easy to shoot. So after a couple of mags, I am like no sense waisting ammo. What I notice is I need to shoot more often.
I was able to get my Glock parts before the bill passed. I did that like 3 years ago. Had a funny feeling. I have bought 2 guns since then and I want to get spare parts for them also. Definitely figure I will need a firing pin and springs. Mag springs. Guns are echelon and BG2.0. I don’t want to be scrambling if they go down. Love to know if you guys have a recommendation on where to order from? Obviously smith and Springfield.
Child of the roster here in fuddafornia. When I first started carrying. I wanted a 43x. Too cheap to pay 2-3x for one. I was then wooed by the 26 guys. Been a good ride. I never could get a consistent draw. No matter what mag I used. I didn’t like the shield either. I think carrying the BG is like nothing. Today I carried in a cya holster aiwb. Did some dry fire and the gun comes out so much quicker. Yes size matters. I’m older and chronic pain patient. It was worth all the ammo trials and polishing I did.
Ok I polished the feed ramps multiple times. I purposely shot the flat tipped federal rounds so it would help break my BG 2.0 in. Yesterday she ran 10 mags with a mix of critical defense and flat tipped fmj. No hiccups finally. Came home and saw if she would eat underwood. She accepted it. Round 500. I will shoot a mix of other ammo and see if she is ready to hit the streets. There was a man at the range having the exact problems with a bg comp. Hopefully I helped him too.
Guys with the BG. Are you chambering from the slide stop or gripping the slide and racking it? I am wondering if maybe I am not getting my fingers off the slide fast enough and I am slowing the slide down? When I practice with the bg, I get what feels like sore torn up fingers from the serrations. Leads me to think it’s that??
I have been seeing guys that come from other states and countries say things that they don’t understand. Many are asking why they are not night jigging on the boats out of LA to San Diego. It’s because the bluefin have moved up north. They do this every season when the water warms up. This brings in tiny yellowfin tuna and dorado. Yellowtail are hitting the kelp patties and islands. If you want to fish the bluefin. Make reservations for April- June. I cringe when I see guys saying that the boat didn’t fish at night. These boats have very expensive equipment. No since burning diesel looking for something that is not there. So El Niño brings in other exotics. Like Wahoo. So unless you go on a 3 day or longer trip forget about bluefin. Or find someone in San Francisco to take you out. I am a local and have been fishing the cattle boats and private boats for 55 years.
I went ahead and ordered a holster for aiwb. Cya from Amazon. I wasn’t paying $100 for a holster for this tiny little gun. It was under $60 delivered. Got here in 2 days. If you want adjustable this is not the one for you. Great snap in retention
Ok I watched the video on filing the lip on the feed ramp. I do not see this so called lip?
Adjustment worked. It was about the width of the front sight needing adjustment to the left. This was 7 yards. It still needs more breaking in. It had like 4 hiccups in 100 rounds. 400 rounds. Now to get her to eat underwood.
I can’t win. My ccw instructor is down right now. So I figured all I need to do is a shoot qualification for my BG 2.0. I have 5 guns on my permit. I call turners and I have to have iwb On a belt. Well I don’t plan on carrying it that way. I have a holster pocket holster for it. My main instructor believes in and carry’s pocket carry. So it’s wait for him to recover or buy a holster for iwb. Unless anyone does a gun qualifications in the Coachella valley? Palm Springs area? It’s never easy in this state. Also what’s the best iwb for the BG 2.0 stock. The non comped one?
Went back indoor shooting. Go to the range yesterday and I started sweating. I even sweat in my hands. I used to wear 2 gloves in my golf days! This has changed my thoughts. Main edc has been a 26. I had issues yesterday with gloves on no less. I grip my echelon so much better. I even do better with the bg2.0. I have used deodorant for the body. But I don’t see myself putting that all over my hands every morning before I leave the house. Not gonna walk around gloves on either. That leaves me to probably start carrying the echelon. Little big but I can do it. I can grip it better. Then when I get this BG on the permit, maybe I’ll just carry that. Going to squeeze the stress ball until. See if I can get better hand strength.Anyone else deal with this?
I guess this is the last sign to get the f out of fuddafornia. I have been shooting on county land for 40 years. Well known spot to shoot. Well they put a gate up. Found out the land was county in between public land and blm land. I hate shooting indoors. We already have a problem finding places to train properly. This spot is 4 miles behind my house. Time to go to Texas. It was so nice to be able to shoot and draw. I could go mag dump a gun I just worked on.
Ok my underwood and critical defense came in today. Only thing that has ran right is ball ammo. So today I polished both ramps on my BG 2.0. Got the flat tipped federal to chamber. Underwood, critical defense and HST are still hanging up. I guess I will see if this flat tipped will run and see if that will break her in for t flat faced ammo. Runs ball of all kinds great
