    And until you run one of the Brazillian handguards with no covers and without gloves to the point of being uncomfortable or even un-touchable, you have no idea what you would or wouldn't do. Are there more important things to worry about in a civilian gunfight involving an AR? well, duh. But at the same time what benefits are the Brazilian handguards supposedly providing in that application either? Saving weight? In a 30 second gunfight in the hallway of your ranch-type-style castle?

    There ain't no free lunch.

    I mostly agree with your post, Rob. In training, my handguards have gotten hot enough to make gloves a much needed item.

    That probably won't happen in my house. Mostly this is because where I live hasn't required any Alamo-like preparations (hasn't required it, didn't say I hadn't made them anyways).

    The one part I disagree with, though, is that there IS a right answer. But MY right answer is probably not YOUR right answer which might be different than the OP's right answer.

    Train to a higher standard and you will get a better result when you are called upon to perform. It seems as plain as that to me.

    That is semantics for no other reason than semantics' sake.

    I apologize for offending your sensibilities, Rob.
