Any new firearm purchases?

I genuinely hope it works for you, but my experience tells me to tell you not to waste $50. The streamlight TLR-1 is THE BEST handgun light on the market, and can be had for a hair over $100 at the right time of year.

If I do end up buying the thing it'll be more of a purchase made for the purpose of shits-n-giggles rather than expecting it to be a quality piece of kit.

I have a couple lights I've purchased at hazard farts already..

..and I'm not terribly impressed with either lol. The quantum flashlight is kinda neat because it somehow has a SQUARE beam pattern out of a round reflector, turbo mode, adjustable focus.. but the switch is WAY too touchy.. shake the light around and the beam will flicker. If it wasn't for the crummy switch I really wouldn't have any issue with it for the price.

The quantum magnetic work light is a little better... It's awesome for backlight when welding.. but the battery life is.. not great. Kinda need 2 to rotate out while the other charges if your gonna be in the garage all day.

Someone was talking about fancy triggers a few posts back.. binarys and force reset jobs..

Anyone ever mess around with one? Binary setups are so incredibly amusing lol. Damned expensive for a shits-n-giggles purchase.. but absolutely worth it. I just recently heard about force reset setups over the summer and naturally got super interested.. less than half the price of a binary trigger and much easier to install apparently..

Sounds like a fun candidate for a blowback PCC build.. I had thought about putting a binary in a PCC (because cheap ammo).. but apparently that's not at all advisable in a blowback configuration.. wondering if a FRT could be run without fear of shrapnel in the face thanks to an OOB mishap..

*my entire post is within the AR15 platform* The only reliable binary triggers I have experience with are by Phostech and have a safety sear to tell the trigger when the gun is in battery. Everythig else runs on hopes and dreams to avoid hammer follow. OOBs arent mechanichally possible with any binarys or frts. When the bolt of a pcc AR is not fully in battery, the hammer cannot impact the firing pin due to the geometry of the carrier.*

When it comes to frts you get what you pay for. Rarebreeds L3 looks promising, but I have yet to see a high mileage example though know of one that will get there sooner rather than later and I will get an opportunity to look at. They work great as long as you dont death grip the trigger to the rear. The cheaper single mode versions are too fast to get singles from in DI guns. Piston might be a different story depending on how its gassed. The super safeties I've seen (two examples) lasted one mag each before they broke.

*properly designed pcc bolts. NOT cheapo bargain specials
