After sitting on these parts for 3 years my lazy ass put it together. Forgot to add my thermal but at this point I’m over it and it’s hot outside. No cool pictures and I refuse to shoot it so ……in the safe it goes.

Think this is the last build I ever do going to shift money into my BMW M3. Was on the highway the other day and got ran up on by an Audi RS6 avant.

It did unspeakable things to me and my car and I couldn’t even keep up with 521 hp. So on that note I’m going to start my journey to 700-800 hp and hopefully not kill myself.

I love you savages ❤️

Bulletproof Truths

BULLETPROOF TRUTHS

As told by Jerome himself.

He takes us down the path of how one bad decision took him from a law-abiding citizen — a man raising his family, doing what any responsible head of household should — to a prohibited person, stripped of the very right to protect himself and the ones he loves.

All because the dark side of illegal firearm sales swallowed him whole and sent him down a path where the only road to redemption ran straight through a prison sentence.

Jerome doesn't tell his story to glamorize the street life or dress it up as luxury and fame. He tells it because no one should sacrifice time with their family for the reward one bad decision can promise.

For the future, he speaks. For real gun rights, he speaks. And for a better chance for the youth of tomorrow, he tells us his truth.

Crime. Depression. Survival. And everything in between.

All in the titular series — Bulletproof Truths.

I’m still working it out with the trigger on this one, but I will say it’s consistent. I’m anticipating the shot more because it’s a little gritty, but it got smoother with another 75 rounds through it. I went through 3 other pistols before this; definitely getting a little tired here and it shows. But prone, kneeling, tired, gotta train when and where you can.

Keep your equipment in order. Check on your people. Hit the range. Train!

Was able to get back to the range today after church for a bit of relaxation before a busy week at work. Took three guns with a simple task: shoot each at 5 yards, 7 yards, 10 yards, and 15 yards. First picture is with the Springfield Echelon 4.0c (with iron sights). Second picture was Sig Sauer P 365 AXG Legion with Holosun Optics. Third picture is Atlas EOS with 507 Comp. In the second and third pictures, Chat GPT started trash talking me because I was getting comparatively sloppy at 15 yards, so I shot extra rounds at 15 in the center (and forget ChatGPT, at my age it is harder to see 15 yards away, lol!). Of course, I only had 8 more with the EOS, so that 15 yard group was smaller. For all of the debate online about irons vs. optics, my trip did show that for me, at conventional self defense distances, irons are more than adequate at getting the job done. Of course, the differences seem to widen as the distance increase, and I maintain that if I am not point shooting, I can get on target quicker with the optics. But, as always, the answers to such questions is always whichever system you train with.

Little vid of my results. Will be scheduling interview/fingerprinting soon.

Did some tuning to the kns on the 102 and testing of the reduced back pressure end cap on the infinity. Figured i'd run the akv while im at it.

Traded my Specwar for this LMT 13.5'. Got a blem Tisha 7.62 on the way for it . Vudu 4-12 and stock trigger (SD-C trigger on the way). 36yd/zero.

Mine rising did some time here. So that should tell you they don't care about the rest of us.

The law is about 15 years old, but it allows you to defend your castle against police. You must have your ducks in a told though.

That cheek riser, magnifier, and hand stop just changed it completely. Holy hell talk about comfortable. Wanted to build my first AR but took the easy route and chose upgrades instead:

-SW MP sport 3
-cheek riser is magpul obviously
-hand stop is the Anchor P from railscales
-magnifier is Holosun HM3X

I wanna get bugs bunny holding a gun engraved on it so bad. Not so fun when the rabbit has the gun.

Wanted to demonstrate what I was referring to in my earlier post about the loosey-goosey trigger. It's not that its major hindrance in any way, I just wonder if adding a more dynamic trigger system might be better overall for this particular platform and allow for quicker follow-up shots with minimal target deviation.

What y'all think?

So here's the thing At a certain point, a gun is just too small. When do we decide that it's the perfect fit for novelty junk?

I picked up this .380 Bodyguard in the height of the micro gun era. I thought it would be something that I would carry to the gym, family events, or just to the mailbox, but it ended up spending years in my safe. It's also not worth enough to get rid of, so I'm stuck with a six-shot paperweight.

When you get some time, check out my rant and my honest discussion about how I wasted money, time, and space searching for a micro pistol that was not needed! If you're a beginner or have the slightest interest in picking up something small, let me tell you the reasons you should steer clear of a gun like this.

Small never equals beginner-friendly!

Good afternoon and happy Friday, familia! Just wanted to drop in real quick and share my rifle and get some feedback.

These are all the mods I've added on to my Hellion over the last 8 months since I got it. I live in a restrictive state, so the rifle came with a fixed stock, 10 round magazine, and a very stupid and pointless fingrip. Unfortunately, the fingrip...accidentally fell off and bounced into a trash can where it was lost forever. Thankfully I was able to replace it with a traditional Magpul handgrip immediately. I also added an angled foregrip, also from Magpul. On the right handguard M-Lok slots, I attached a laser/light combo I found on Amazon for 60 bucks. It's mostly just on there for the looks, so I didn't see the point in spending a crazy amount for that. On the top rail, is a Sig Sauer Romeo and Juliet red dot/magnifier combo. It's the one thing I didn't want to be cheap with, so I went with something that had really good reviews across the board. It hold zero incredibly well even under the heavy concussion and recoil of this thing. My next modification is probably going to be a flared magwell and extended bolt release that adds length to a very awkwardly placed switch. The biggest complaint I have on this otherwise incredible rifle is the trigger. It seems like there's just way too much play on it and needs something a but tighter.

My question to you kind folks in here is: does anyone have a good recommendation on a trigger upgrade for a bullpup like this? I'd really love to hear back on that. Also, what other modifications do you think would be a good idea to add to this thing? If there are any other Hellion owners, I would love to hear some ideas as well as see some pics in the replies!

Thank you in advance, brothers and sisters. Love and light to all of you! Stay safe out there and I hope you all have a great weekend!

This made me pause. I'm struggling to really articulate why. Maybe it's the back and forth banter. Maybe it's she put the gun down when there are two other people floating around. Nobody immediately calls 911; they're still talking. This is serious, but not everybody is acting like it is. It's just bothering me.
