    Good point.

    Having no experience cutting carry handles the cheapest buis I would run is LaRue.

    For loaning out, I'd go with the Larue for the simple fact that there's the least possiblity of the Loanee screwing it up, fubaring the zero, or otherwise taking a high-interest loan from the Murphy's Law Bank of Karma that could bite you later.

    Another excellent point.

    Fubaring the zero is easily remedied. Take your A2 sight that you have zeroed and run it all the way left while counting the clicks.

    That way, if anyone every messes with your zero, you simpley run the sight all the way left and then come back right 42 clicks (for example) and you're good to go without having to re-zero.

    I'm inclined to have new shooters learn Irons before they jump onto dots. It doesn't HAVE TO be this way. But I do get tired of seeing how bad people shoot with irons in class. Some shooters should be embarrassed at their marksmanship skills.

    Saw? Sander? What are these devices you speak of?

    I'd go LaRue, MI or YHM for a folder. It doesn't matter Rob, it's a loaner. Just locktite it on and apply some witness marks and run it. It's not rocket science.

    Cutting a extra carry handle down is good way.

    Other options:
    Fixed: LT BUIS, $89
    Folding: MI ERS, $93.95

    For a fixed rear, I also like the LaRue. I prefer it over a cut down CH because there is no knob in the way to get in the way.

    I have an RRA stand alone. Similar to a LMT tactical, just different mounting screws.
