Well, I finally got my AR15 to the range today. Holy cow! That thing is a tack driver! (Sorry, SD) but it is. I was using open sites at 100 yards and could reach out and touch anything I wanted to. Some moron had left a bunch of milk jugs on the range (I hate folks that don't pick up after themselves) and I was dancing those things all over the place. I have human silhouette targets and could make head shots or center mass at will. AND, AND, it has no recoil. I wasn't expecting much but it's not much more than a .22. This thing is Saweeeet.
I had to site in the scope on the MN again today. How can you go to the range and not take an MN along? I can do okay with the MN and the scope but that dang AR is something else.
I had picked up a light/laser combo for my .45 and the @#$# thing won't stay on. The recoil slides it forward no matter how tight it is. I sent a note to the manufacturer and asked them what was up with it. Anyone have that trouble before? I had it on a XD 45 with 4 inch barrel. The rail is a might short under the barrel but it's long enough to catch both screws so they exert equal pressure. Wasn't happy about that but a minor problem.
Then on the way home the inevitable happened. That @#$# canoe tipped AGAIN. I gotta get a new canoe. I lose more guns that way.

Rick, some rails need to have chatter marks placed on them to hold gadgets, they come too well finished or just a hair out of tolerance and stuff like a .45 just jars them a lil too much. Everyone and their grandmother are making rails and accessories and some are way out of tolerance.
LOL I have a ton of EBR piece parts over on the "Hey, you put it together" table....I got out of the EBR bizz like 2 years ago and what I have now are left over full uppers, lower kits, holos, grip pods and more freakin rails than any one man should have in one place....etc....
I really think that's the problem. There are no "cleats" on the rail. It's smooth on the XD and there is nothing to bite into.
