Main Topic: USPSA Competition, Mossberg Shockwave, Justin Opinion Stuff & More!!!

 

-Shot my first USPSA Match today! Learned alot. 

-I went slow my first stage. I was scared/nervous I was going to screw up and get DQ’ed. I didn’t, and it went good. I placed 29 out of 35 shooters. I believe I was one of, maybe the only shooter shooting a stock Glock 19 with no optic. 

-You learn ALOT by having to make sure you follow the safety rules and the rules of the stage so I didn’t get DQ’ed.

-Shows you how guns can malfunction, saw a few today. Glock ran without a hiccup.

-Friend of mine invited me to shoot allowed me use his kit, 2 15 round mags, two 17 round mags. I never touched the 15.

In this episode of the Acceptable Accuracy podcast, hosts Philip and Tyler welcome first-time guest Nathan to dive into the world of Everyday Carry (EDC). They explore why EDC matters through real-world examples and discuss the mindset shift from being a gear junkie to a purpose-driven carrier. The trio emphasizes that simply carrying isn’t enough—training is essential, covering everything from safety and marksmanship to low-light scenarios and defensive movement. They tackle the balance between investing in gear versus training and offer guidance on how often to train. Common mistakes are addressed, like inconsistent carry and training only on a static range. Wrapping up, they touch on the deeper responsibility of EDC, viewing preparedness as an act of love and stewardship for those around you.

In this episode, we dive deep into building the perfect go bag—your essential grab-and-go setup for emergencies, bug-outs, or just staying prepared. We break it down using the legendary 10 C's of Survival framework, pioneered by Dave Canterbury. From cutting tools to containers, cover to cordage, we’ll explore each critical item, why it matters, and how to choose the right gear for your environment and mission. Whether you’re new to preparedness or refining your kit, this episode gives you a practical, no-BS approach to building a go bag that won’t fail you when it counts.

The Liberal Left, the Democrats, the Socialist, all one in the same want you to be disarmed and left helpless while at the same time being the most violent and dangerous in our society. Witness once again, a leftist killer has committed a double homicide in the name of “Free Palestine”.

What are some of the benefits of using a Holographic Weapon Sight? During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, Professor Paul discusses lessons from our recent Martial Application of the Rifle course.

Also, during our SOTG Homeroom, we will consider the Big 3 Checklist for justifiable use of deadly force and how a moron in New York State failed the test when he decided to shoot a lost DoorDash driver.

In our last live episode (Episode 342), we read Patreons’ comments about what Prepping 2.0 has meant to them - and describe what it’s meant to us. But have no fear: rebroadcasts of Prepping 2.0 will continue. Thanks for an amazing ride. We’ll never forget how wonderful it was talking with you every week

Dear WLS

Jesse K - Hello gentlemen, and......Aaron. I recently finished up my 6arc build and am deciding what optic to go with. I won't be hiking miles in since I live in the land of cheese, but will have the opportunity to hunt put to 400 ish and shoot out to 600. Usually, I tend to go with more magnification than needed for targets to identify animals better. Do I go with something like the Warhawk FFP in a 3-18/4-20? Wait for Gideon to come out with something a little lower than their 5-25? Any other options you think would pose a better look-see at?

Andrew M - Hello, gentlemen. Apparently, I am a glutton for punishment and I like to buy guns they haven’t made ammo for in 100 years. I have a pristine Winchester 1907 and a Webley Mark 1 navy self-loading pistol. I would love to shoot these two, but I cannot source 351WSL or 455 Webley automatic. I’ve exhausted every gun show and old-timers ammo collection. Besides machining down different caliber casings to make my ow,n do you have any idea where I can find this stuff? P.s Jeremy is not a cunt he adds 10 cool guy points to the show

screwed by sig - Based on recent events I don’t feel comfortable carrying any of my P-320’s. This saddens me because they fit my hand well and I shoot them well. I have other similar guns that are either not comfortable in my hand and/or I don’t shoot them well. These include Glocks, Smith & Wesson M&P's, and a Sig P-365. I have three Glocks and hate them all.I’m looking for a reliable replacement that closely matches the P-320’s ergonomics, performance, and feel. Cost is not a primary concern within reason, but I’d prefer to avoid overspending unnecessarily. Could you recommend a suitable alternative that might meet my needs?Lots of NOTES.

The Toe Truck - Long story short….what is your ideal hog/coyote set up? I’m looking to build my next AR and want something for pests and to set up with NV or thermals. What caliber do you choose? What optic? What suppressor? And any other details that you might add to it. I already have a 300blackout, 5.56, .22, and .350 legend. Not opposed to a duplicate caliber but wanted your opinions.

No Notes - No notes. What kind of. No notes. Truck guns. No notes. Do you carry on a long road trip? No notes.

Mike Oxlong - I’m building a pistol caliber, umm, a pistol caliber pistol, I guess. I’m using a standard AR lower, and need a Glock mag adapter. My question is how much one should I get? Which one is best quality, or doesn’t it matter? Ok that’s two questions. Mucho Garcias, yes, Garcias. No notes.

Germany Pozderac - Youtube forces creators to neuter the content they make when building and modifying firearms. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to find basic, how-to instructorials. Are there any channels here on Rumble that are making tutorial videos? No Notes

Denny E - In five years I’ve sent 3 optics back for warranty, and then sold the replacement on eBay. Once they failed, I didn’t want to trust my life with them anymore. I’ve had a Swampfox liberty 2, vortex spark solar, and now a primary arms micro prism. I thought the etched reticle would be the way to go, but lost windage adjustments for seemingly no reason.

The article discusses the historical context and current developments regarding the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934, highlighting proposed changes in legislation, particularly the "Big Beautiful Bill," which aims to eliminate the $200 tax stamp on NFA items and remove silencers from NFA regulations.
