I wasn't making a political statement, it was a response (after it made me go look at the data) if the hypothesis that open carry is the reason people are nice to each other.
I didn't say you were. I'm saying that the people who open carry are.

I concealed carry whenever I am down in Denver. Not so much where I live up in the mountains as it's very safe up here. Low crime rate, with robberies/muggings being extremely rare.
I'm careful when in Denver proper. But rarely go there these days. Little crime round here.

Chinese Trijicon RMR knockoff in Dark Earth (also known as rose gold):

Nice. I have a Trijicon on my .357 revolver and its stood up great.

I suspect it'll do better than the chinese version. I can see where the differences are; optics aren't coated as well and are more heavily tinted.
Having said that, for $29 it's certainly a good proof of concept. Being a larger dot, and further away from my eye, it actually works better for me than a rifle red dot. I'd certainly consider the genuine article.

We've had a very hot day in the field on pigeons today. Last week over 1000 pigeons on the field hammering the crop, great expectations of a bumper day today. Not to be and we both shot poorly at times, very difficult crossing shots and high birds for some reason. 1in 3 at best, 59 picked birds. Frustrating at times when they aren't decoying in !

That's a young lady who is (impressively) a natural with a shotgun.

It looks extremely unpleasant.

Please do and film it smile

That guy who’s channel is demolition ranch who shots 50bmg regularly hates his. He only ever shots 1 round and puts it away complaining.

For what it’s worth, she’s shot compound bows for years, to a high level. Whilst they are very different beasts to shotguns, she does have a basic familiarity with shooting, the importance of stance, etc.

Main thing is that she’s enjoying it...and will no doubt soon be beating me.

I agree.

Firing full power .44Mag in a 629 was unpleasant enough for me...........but then I always hated shooting revolvers.

Vegas - my pal shot one. Very difficult to even hit a man size target at 20 yards with. Stupidly fierce kick.
I had similar fun with a .45 Tommy gun and sprayed a target without hurting it much :-)

Reminds me of one of my first visits to the US. We were in Pennsylvanian and work buddy took me to a range to rent guns and said I could choose. We ended up renting an UZI and 44 Magnum. Uzi was next to useless but it was a fun night that basically went 'tap..tap..tap..tap..tap..BOOOM!!"
Everyone knew that we were from out of town.

Meanwhile some old balding guy with thick glasses shoots 6 shots from his in <1 second...

I last used an UZI back in 1989.....but I thought it was a decent bit of kit, easy to use and easy to put lots of holes in a target at 25 yards distance.

OK maybe I should rephrase this to "I was next to useless with an Uzi". I'm pretty sure that an Isreali special forces operative will do a better job.

hehe

4/5 years ago, I was working at a firm and soon after starting I got chatting to the rather attractive 50-something lady that sat opposite, who had a slight accent I couldn't place. Turned out she had been born in Israel, and like all men and women there have to do their national service, and she was quite chatty about the technicalities and joys of shooting UZI's and Galil's cool
