Why I pay attention to lens and sensor quality
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
These snapshot show a small fraction of the SHOT show displays using my photos:
Unlike billboards, these are seen up close. And these were not even the largest images — the biggest was a three-part Keltec display 8 feet high by about 12 feet wide. That is why I am looking at upgrading my equipment…but there’s nothing in Canon line-up that would make a noticeable upgrade in resolution. Pity.

Revision safety glasses, a prop provided by a friendly rep. The rifle is a Marlin 60.

Lasers for sighting in guns, and for training without using up ammunition.

Thigh holsters, how to wear them?
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
When I posted first photos of the lace thigh holster, I showed it worn on the outside of the leg. The vendor site showed it worn inside the thigh. Which is correct?
The answer is both. If you are slim enough that your thighs do not touch as you walk, you can get away with wearing the holster inside. The pistol fits very snugly and the entire rig is very well concealed.
In normal use, this would be covered by a skirt or a dress. Depending on the size of the pistol and personal comfort, the holster can be worn as shown or higher for shorter reach and greater concealment. The down side to higher placement is having to hitch up the hemline higher to draw, and the proximity of the grip to the pelvis. You have to leave sufficient room for the grip and your hand around it.
The other concern is covering your own limbs with the muzzle while drawing. You trade the degree of concealment for slightly slower presentation.
The other option is wearing it on the outside like a drop leg holster. Easier to draw, less concern about covering parts of your own body, no issues with chafing, but far less concealment. Patterned dresses that camouflage any printing would be a good idea with outside carry using a lace thigh holster.

Concealed carry shorts

Undertech concealment shorts— like a wearable IWB holster. Plus: very concealable. Minus: doesn’t stay open when empty, so re-holstering is more difficult. Drawing is simple but requires a pretty long reach and careful muzzle control to avoid covering self or others.

Updating the light rifle
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
One of my colleagues stopped by. She didn’t bring any of her own rifles, but we borrowed a couple from a mutual friend.
Start with a standard light-barreled Colt 16″ AR carbine.
Add a Trijicon RMR on a see-through mount. The sight is tiny, so the bore offset isn’t increased by much.
Add a Battlecomp muzzle brake/compensator to remove barrel climb on rapid fire.
Replace the M4 telestock with a sturdier Magpul CTR. Tatiana’s technique with the stock fully extended feels odd to me but seems to produce much better control of recoil.
The light is a Surefire model with 500 lumen main light and two little navigation lights with momentary pressure switches.
The soon to be riddled gentleman in the red shirt is from IDTS.

And, just like the earlier books of that series, it’s become very popular from the start. I design overs for Peter’s books, so it pleases me to see him do well— as his writing talent well deserves.

Standard Russian injunction illustrated.
Also works outside.
Similar to the rifle from the previous post, but with a folding adapter in front of a Magpul stock, Aimpoint H1 and an even brighter 700 lumen Superfire light. Same Battlecomp, folding rear sight. The bathroom occupant comes from IDTS.

Co-witnessing AK sights with a red dot
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Take an AK, add a TWS top cover with replacement open sights (or a peep sight), add an Aimpoint Micro (or a clone) without a base. Secure with four screws. Done!
The machine top cover is sprung to stay firmly in place, and relieved to seat the optic very low to the receiver.
As you can see, it’s possible to have a good cheek weld even with the underfolder stock.

CZ97B
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
CZ97B was on the cover of the wonderfully photographed CZ catalog from 2000. Especially with the 10-round limit then in force, a “natural 10-rounder” in 45ACP felt like a perfect package. It was something I had long wanted but still do not have. This pistol was a loan from the CZ Forum founder Chard.
