Gun Owning Smokers

[Eville]

So, since I leave right of the interstate in Meth county USA, and after talking to some of the local cops, I decided to get a pistol light for my M&P. Ended up getting the TLR1 by streamlight. Damn this thing is bright! I read some reviews that if you have light walls, all those lumens will just bounce back at you and blind you as well. Luckily I have brown walls so that isn't a problem, but after playing with it at my parents house this weekend, I can confirm that white walls are blinding. Anyway, I also had a Burris Fast Fire 3 on my AR. When I bought it, I didn't realize that it was a mini red dot sight. So, I bought a riser and tried to make it work, but the glass is just too small. So I got the adapter and installed it on my M&P tonight. I'll have to play around at the range a bit with it, but so far I am happy with it.

Nice Eville! That thing is "pimped out"! Don't take this the wrong way, as I certainly respect your weapon choices, and attachments thereto, as the best weapon for you is the one you feel most comfortable with, but I much prefer a shotgun for home defense (for obvious reasons), and tend to like my handguns bone-stock, without any attachments that will hinder my draw speed and deployment time. But to each his own. That M&P will serve its intended "home defense" purpose well, as long as that Burris rifle sight doesn't change the weight of the slide enough to affect the weapon's reliable function, and the slide-mounted application of the sight doesn't affect its zero-holding capability (due to the agressive bi-directional recoil environment it is subjected to, being mounted to the slide of a handgun). I'd cross my fingers, and give it plenty of range time before trusting it with my life... But it'll be cool for sure, if everything works out and it passes the test of time! Good luck, and let me know how it holds up to a couple hundred rounds of test-fire!
