    Some thoughts on gear and weapon selection

    So it was TD3 and I was loading mags when I happened to look up at the wall. The majority of the students had propped their AR's against it. Thought it was a cool pic so I snapped a quick one.

    Here it is:


    Notice the the following:

    1. A lot of Suppressed SBR's.
    2. Magpul CTR/MOE and LMT SOPMOD's stocks were the most common.
    3. Aimpoint Micro's were the majority of optics used.
    4. EVERYONE was running a BFG Vickers Tactical 2 point sling.
    4. A lot of fixed sights (front and rear) were being used.
    5. SF X300's are the dominant lighting option.

    The folks in this class came from all walks of life (active duty Mil, Civy's, industry professionals, dealers, etc), but they all came to the same conclusions about gear. This is what is commonly referred to as a clue.

    After taking the above pic, I realized that EVERY GUN had a BFG Vickers sling on it. So we decided to do a better pic showcasing the slings and give the good folks at BFG a little love. A couple BFG rigs and belts were also dropped in for good measure.

    Is that a suppressed 9mm AR?

    Larry, is one of if not my favorite guys in industry. I did the tactical SWAT/Contractor thing several decades and Larry is one of the very few instructors I would still pay to train with. He is that good.

    Plus he is almost as ugly as me!

    Grant, Just curious - did you run the m@p/rmr in this class. If so - how did it go. Also, how's the led version working out? - Thanks Brad

    I did run it and it ran well (even suppressed). It was a hit with the folks at the class as well.

    C4, I don't want to hi-jack a thread involving Mr. Vickers and y'alls class. Maybe sometime in the future you could update the other m@p/rmr thread. Lots of us with "aging" eyes paying attention. Also, what was LAV's take on this. Thanks again Brad
