Anything popular amongst the Cartels falls quite neatly into this categorization.

KUSA was popular for a minute, had god awful QC

We only have shotgun safeties? Fuck it, put ‘em on and send it

They do make some good pants in their defense, I had one for 2 years of heavy work and they’re still holding up


BackgroundRecipe3164

I second this, the ABR pro pants are great. They even have a pouch for your leatherman (or other multi tool) that fits a surge with ease


ExintheVatican_

I currently wear these for work. They’re amazing.


reed166

Use them for biology field work and make everyone else jealous.


White_valen

They always fail me at the calf after a few months, and I'm the crotch


Searose20

Their rush 3 day pack lasted me years with heavy use


E_man123

I've had my 2 day pack from them for at least 10 years at this point, it's a beast


Bluejay0

I've liked their Rush 2.0 bag. Been my everyday for about two years now.


holy-ghost-rodeo

they have some really quality pants and shorts, just wish they didn't discontinue things every two months


DeleteElDiablo

My Rush24 is a fuckin trooper, and my dad likes their shirts and vests for daily wear, but beyond that I've not heard much of anything beyond "a little better than some other brands"


roostersnuffed

Ill bridge the gap of the common denominators, both their pants and (albeit heavy) bags are worth the money. I've dragged my rush 48 all over the world, 24 countries in the last 13 years and the only wear I've had is in the "neck pad" where the straps meet in the middle. A dime sized hole has formed. Could easily be stitched back together, but duct tape exists.


bopachinas

agilite, been used in Ukraine by ukr units and has had pretty negative reviews, poor QC and tends to fall apart.


LANkr

That's pretty wild to hear. I saw that the head designer was rocking it in Gaza


bopachinas

Differences in use cases, I doubt IDF soldiers in Gaza are sitting in positions for extended periods of time. Seen a few reports that lots of the gear rips after use and doesn't hold up to intense field use. One particular statement said that warrior assault systems plate carriers are vastly superior in every way


LANkr

Interesting. I'm definitely going to check out that PC


mrjamescomer

AAC ammo


LANkr

I've actually thought about trying it for quite some time. What's the common issue with them?


IAMheretosell321

shedding jacket and poor accuracy


jtj5002

That's mostly isolated to the 55 gr fmj Hornady projectiles


IAMheretosell321

Ive gotten shedding with their subsonic 300blk


ThesisAnonymous

I’ve shot about 1,000 rounds of 77 gr, 75 gr, and some 140 gr 6.5 CM with great accuracy and no issues. ~.70 MOA with the 6.5


IAMheretosell321

Glad youve had better luck. I get about 3moa with their 77s but IMI and black hills is easily sub


roostersnuffed

>I get about 3moa If you shoot faster you won't even notice that /s


MouthWash06

I mean yeah, it's relatively cheap


spiceweasle93

Never tried rifle ammo from them. But the 124gr 9mm has been holding up for me for quite a while


AdamIsLegit

Ferro used to be the best 75-100$ plate carrier with the slickster, now they make a medical pouch that cost 80$, maybe not best example but you cannot tell me a pouch with 2 holes should cost the same as a plate carrier


BannedAgain-573

Most the nylon companies are trying to be super hype beast. Limited runs and always being out of stock. Manufactured scarcity, and people eat that shit up so they feel special

Grand Thumb for the past 3 years maybe its just me but I find the character he (and his entourage and copycats) plays insufferable Retvrn to standing in front of a black bed sheet

Once Mike retired and realized JAG couldn't get him for Conduct Unbecoming anymore, the channel went to shit.


thanksforthework

Conduct unbecoming? For what?


NewCommunication1306

He was still guard (?) for many of his early videos and because of that his content was very much gear focused and fairly objective. Once he got out he started doing a lot more of the dumb test videos and making more thinly veiled political comments as there was no ucmj holding him back from being a dipshit for money.


Ape_Division

none of his video quality issues are related to him being extremely lukewarm right wing


AutumnTheFemboy

Lukewarm right wing? His camera guy made a joke about shooting trans people and they routinely joke about how he got banned for saying 13/50 on twitter


Ape_Division

Yeah that's entry level right wing


AutumnTheFemboy

Maybe if you’re 14 and just discovering what it means to be edgy but for adults it’s bordering on alt-right. Like I’m not gonna call them nazis or whatever because they could just be edgy for the sake of it, but some of the things they say are straight out of /pol/ and it’s offputting for a lot of people who aren’t down with that


Ape_Division

Damn that sucks I guess


AutumnTheFemboy

I mean yeah but it was a good push for me to finally unsubscribe


carn1vore

I mean, to be fair the last part is true…


micro_kaiser

He was AD, enlisted for a bit, then commissioned before being medically separated, being the reserves/guard would have allowed him more wiggle room as he wouldn't have been subject to the UCMJ when not on orders or drill status (within reson of course. Cause then can find a way)


AcidicFlatulence

Homie you’re still subject to UCMJ when in the guard or reserves. Hell you’re still under it once you’re out if you’re receiving benefits or IRR technically


micro_kaiser

I know about the benefits things. But this is what I have found online and based my understanding off of. Now if I'm wrong and or misunderstanding, then I'll take my L. But from what I'm understanding it's just when a SM is on orders or in a drill status. Obviously state UCMJs can differ. Members of the military Reserve Components under Title 10 of the United States Code (Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Forces Reserve, and Air Force Reserve) or Title 14 of the United States Code, Coast Guard Reserve when not operating as part of the U.S. Navy, are subject to the UCMJ if they are either (a) active duty Full-Time Support personnel such as FTS or Active Guard and Reserve (AGR), or (b) traditional part-time reservists performing either (a) full-time active duty for a specific period (i.e., Annual Training, Active Duty for Training, Active Duty for Operational Support, Active Duty Special Work, One Year Recall, Three Year Recall, Canvasser Recruiter, Mobilization, etc.), or (b) performing Inactive Duty (i.e. Inactive Duty Training, Inactive Duty Travel and Training, Unit Training Assembly, Additional Training Periods, Additional Flying Training Periods, Reserve Management Periods, etc., all of which are colloquially known as “drills”). Soldiers and airmen in the National Guard of the United States are subject to the UCMJ only if activated in a Federal capacity under Title 10 by an executive order issued by the President. Otherwise, members of the National Guard of the United States are exempt from the UCMJ. However, under Title 32 orders, National Guard soldiers are still subject to their respective state codes of military justice. (The state codes are often similar or copies of UCMJ articles.)

Tren? Edit: before the diehard fans threaten to go recce ricky on me, that's a joke. I have no idea what his workout program was to double in size the second he was out.


Akalenedat

He's pretty open about the massive amounts of 'roids he's on.


thanksforthework

He was prescribed them due to his back injury, im not defending him but that’s the explanation he’s given. Bc now he looks comically like the vet bro stereotype


Onyx-03

We all also magically forgetting he cheated on his previous wife, but wants to keep preaching about being a good parent/husband


cocaineandwaffles1

I’ve always heard these rumors/allegations but I’ve never seen anyone provide a source. Not saying it can’t be true, but I’d like to know more about it.


Onyx-03

A lot has been scrubbed by his ex wife’s YouTube channel sadly, it doesn’t exist except some stuff here and there that people say


GoonDawg666

Damn…flannel daddy a cheater bro? Wtf I never heard this


Onyx-03

This was a long time ago, but he had cheated on his wife at shotshow we don’t know who it was but he left 2/3 kids and his ex wife


117mick

I don't want to sound like some kind of internet arbiter when it comes to sources and stuff, but could you please site the source you got this form? Genuinely curious.


Onyx-03

I was looking cause it was his ex wife’s YouTube that made it but it’s gone and scrubbed sorry


117mick

Thank you anyway for the effort. I've heard about this story before but I have not seen actually hard evidence for it yet. If it is true then my opinion on Grand thumb will drop dramatically.

Artic-Tac0s

Most modern sig guns


roostersnuffed

I find it odd that the 365 seems to stand alone in being one of their few newer guns that don't have all the bullshit issues. There were the early issues they discovered on us beta testers (initial purchasers, new industry standard) but they seemed to have sorted it out decently. Which can't be said for you know who.


Artic-Tac0s

I do like the mcx/mpx and mg338 but that’s pretty much it


roostersnuffed

Oh sure, I was mainly speaking to their pistol line. I hear varying reports of their spear line but as far as I'm tracking the mp/cx lines have been overall solid.


Same_Reference1847

Sig


badjokeusername

Scorching hot take: AK’s. I’m gonna preface this by saying that if you want to buy one because they’re fun or you want something different, then this comment doesn’t apply to you at all, keep scrolling. But if you’re looking for a modern fighting rifle and starting from scratch in , then AK’s are a pretty terrible choice. No matter how much you try to modernize them, you’re gonna end up spending hundreds of dollars just to end up with a rifle that’s 80% as good as where any given free-floated-mlok’d AR15 leaves the factory floor. Don’t take my word for it, Hoplopfheil covers it in excruciating detail in [this video](https://youtu.be/qsjxSyX7hBw?si=py11AXtvvLAazSVf) and comes to basically the same conclusion. Brassfacts put it best: > AK’s are basically milsurps at this point. Can you get shit done with a milsurp? Yes of course. But you're spending more money, effort and training, to get something that's not even as effective as a "trash tier" Ar15. If you bought your AK 20 years ago and are already sitting on 10,000 rounds of 7.62x39 at a cost basis of $0.15/rd, then that’s a completely different discussion. But for everyone except those guys, and for everyone looking for a “serious” rifle… please don’t buy a fucking AK.


Akalenedat

AK Guys: the AK can be built with a rusty shovel and operated by any illiterate child soldier. Most reliable design ever made. Also AK Guys: Every American maker and most imports are utter dogshit and you should only buy AKs made by these three plants whose production lines were set up by Mikhail Kalashnikov himself.


badjokeusername

Yeah I didn’t touch on the whole QC issue but you’re completely correct. AK dudes get weirdly gatekeepy over what is possibly the world’s worst still-produced fighting rifle lmao

“Hey check out my PSA GF5 with aftermarket handguard and rail. I spent $1,250 to have a rifle with an optic and a light” “What do you mean a $500 PSA15 does the same thing”


Assaltwaffle

But have you considered this: AKs are fun.


ardesofmiche

I own more AKs than I do ARs lol My commie/capitalist gun ratio is currently 2:1 commie guns


flippyskitty

I have one rifle, one pcc, and one handgun that are built for anything serious. Literally everything else I own is suboptimal somehow because it's funner that way, and for some reason that seems to be kinda unique.


roostersnuffed

I own 3, have owned 5 and I completely agree. Bang for buck they aren't it. Especially post rus ammo ban. Even with expensive upgrades, more cumbersome than an AR in almost; mag eject/insert, safety, no* (rare) LTBHO, wide array optics mounts and 70% are dogshit. Charging handle is debatable since AR can be awkward prone, but generally not an issue with LRBHO/bolt release. But my god, there was something beautiful about my 223 saiga that I unfortunately sold. I didn't even have it fully converted, no muzzle device but all it did was make noise. Like a much louder 22lr. ARs give just a little subtle pop of a recoil. Just to say "hey buddy, I'm here." But that saiga felt more like my PC charger.

deviantdeaf

Condor. Emerson Yakeda/Amazon/Aliexpress plate carriers


phillyman276

Is Emerson that bad? My “g3” pants have held up with hunting in Texas brush and at work using the knee pads.


Consistent_Kick7219

It generally depends on who that opinion is coming from. If NIR is important to you, they're bad. But otherwise, for hunting, airsoft, larping, they're generally fine. Edit: While others have pointed out that Emerson can make stuff that's NIR compliant, there's no guarantee it is. From my understanding, it's about how it comes from the cloth manufacturer. For a while there, it used to be like a Christmas tree. For my own money, I'd buy UR Tactical. Emerson/Krydex being NIR compliant is a bonus IMO.


jtj5002

All the Krydex/Emerson shit I've checked did pretty damn well under IR, better than Crye after your mom washes it with non IR compliant detergent for the first time.

Apparently you're talking about a different Emerson than I was thinking. I have always thought Emerson knives were overrated (cost vs feature vs material) which will catch hate in the knife subs.

It's just the truth. Set aside the hype beast nonsense from dudes like garand thumb and just drop a few hundo on your local milsurp store.

badjokeusername

In principle I agree with you, but in practice, I’ve found that it’s never the “boomer veteran with an M14” who you’ll find actually getting out there and training. At best, you’ll find them shooting from a bench rest and lecturing zoomers on why red dots will get them killed in the streets. It’s not 100% of the time, and I’m sure that outliers exist, but I have yet to actually meet the mythical KAC and Crye owner who never actually trains with his kit. As it turns out, people who are willing to drop thousands of dollars on quality kit are also likely to drop some serious coin on ammo and training - who could have guessed?

In principle, practice is the same as principle. In practice, it's not. ![gif](giphy|26tn8zNgVmit475RK|downsized)

>just drop a few hundo on your local milsurp store. Unless you're still in a LARGE military town, these are dying out. And even in large military towns alot of them tend to carry new overpriced shit while primarily catering to alterations (looking at you whatever Ft Benning is called now) or non mil cities like Greenville SC where out only milsurp store is temu at a mark up.

Inevitable-Sleep-907

Glock. It was the bottom rung, and the only reason it isn't anymore is because hi-point came on the scene.

Please do explain how it’s “bottom rung”

Because he said so? Jeez, it's like you're not even acknowledging his feelings and shit


Thansungst22

Buddy, you can hate on Glock for not innovating or charging out the ass for what should be basic features, shit on the MOS system if you really want But calling Glock Bottom Rung is just next level ignorant and shown your lack of knowledge I said this as a S&W fanboy who sold his Glocks and Sigs for more M&P But you know what I still have in the back of my Safe? A Glock 19. I shoot 2-3 mag a year to function check it then throw it in the safe again, you know why? Cause if SHTF, I'm grabbing the most common pistol in America with spare parts everywhere vs my M&P where it's kinda hard to find parts in gun stores. You can find any parts of a Glock in bumfuck nowhere USA, good luck finding a spring or extractor for M&P if you're not in a major area


SirWalnuts

I agree. I, too, would go for my 19 over my cz or my Beretta is shtf.


badjokeusername

certified “i shoot less than 1,000 rounds a year” comment To be clear, glocks aren’t my favorite handgun, but you cannot deny that they’re stupidly reliable and boringly utilitarian. That doesn’t make them “bottom rung”, it just means that dudes who want to think they’re high speed without actually shooting much won’t look to them when trying to pick a handgun.


Akalenedat

> certified “i shoot less than 1,000 rounds a year” comment Glock: Has plastic sights and a drop safe trigger Geardos: and I took that personally...

Nah. Just having a laugh. You said glock wasn't your favorite. What is, friend?


Voltron_BlkLion

Is Glock the Honda or Toyota of the gun world? Ugly as shit but reliable as hell, I'm guessing a Tacoma.


BannedAgain-573

"reliable and boringly utilitarian" Exactly how I want my safety equipment. I don't want my firearm all wiz banged out with round counters, WiFi and hand warmer grips. Shit I don't even want most of that stuff in my car, and some how the car company's have convinced people to pay 20$ a month so they remote start their car from their phone. Insert Jackie Chan WTF

LMAO. That’s the hottest take I’ve seen all year.


SirWalnuts

Glad you got a kick out of it, friend.


PrestonHM

Its definitely not bottom tier. I do think that Glock is expensive for what it is, but their guns still work very well.


theactionwagon

While true, it's kinda like buying a Toyota Corolla. Has it been virtually the same car since 2010? Absolutely, is the Chevy cruise half the price and in a lot of ways more modern? Also yes, but the Corolla is just gonna work and keep fucking working. Yes, you're essentially paying more for the brand, but in the case of Glock and Toyota, the brand is only worth anything because it just fucking works, not because it's designer, luxurious or exotic.


Reloader300wm

Let me guess, you put a comp on a new glock, and can't figure out the feed issue it has? Hint: because you don't need a comp, and youre limp-wristing it like a bitch.


SirWalnuts

If I limp wrist with both hands, it is like one steady wrist. So, it averages it out.
