Gun Gripes #322: "The Accessory Wars"

1 ammo 2 sights 3 mags 4 light 5 sling 6 experience 7 optic 8 more experience

I bought an sks the other day and forgot what it was like to buy a rifle that actually came with sights

Great episode fellas! I’m not a Gucci gun fan myself, I’m more into the durability and practicality. I enjoy seeing people’s “creativity” sometimes, but no bling on my pew pew’s. The gun community can be a great place, I don’t care what you’re shooting, Just own a weapon, know your weapon and how to use it correctly!! 🗽✌🏻

Oddly enough, this exact topic has been on my mind a lot lately. I recently took the time to step back and reflect on what gun ownership means to me and it helped me identify several areas I have been neglecting/overlooking. It was helpful to break things down into smaller identifiable goals and begin to move towards them according to their priority. As such I've shifted mindset from 'get another gun' to 'just finish one' and by finish it I don't just mean the firearm, I mean the accompanying gear and skills as well. Can you stop the bleed? If faced with a hostile force how will you carry extra mags? If you get lost on a hunt can you start a fire? The firearm is just one part of the overall system.

Just got into this world and really trying to navigate the water. Recently bought an AR and conceal guns. Appreciate all this stuff to think about

QD everything. Makes switching sharing and moving these things super easy. Especially optics and slings.

I see “them”…I want them and they follow me home! LOL

Your boy made it quick! ZenitCo is accessory king right now in the AK game 🇷🇺💯

As a gun collector, I feel personally attacked by the whole first 4 minutes of this video. lol

I don't have enough guns, but I can say any weapon meant for defense has an optic, a light and a sling. We only got two hands so I kinda focus on one rifle and one pistol per shooter

Caught myself doing this and the past year I've been kitting them all up and boy was it expensive and I didn't even buy high-end surefires and aimpoints its streamlights and sig romeos for me

if we could find a way to turn Erics guitar straps into rifle slings, he might just get by.

james yeager always told stories about people bringing glocks to class that were all tricked out and would fail constantly, then he would put all the orig parts back in them and they started running flawlessly again.

I confess. I've been guilty of sometimes starting to buy certain access./upgrades B4 I'm even in possession of or purchased the firearm.

I think I speak for all of us when I say: We love you boys! Thank you for ALL of your content, your message(s), and your unwavering allegiance in the fight to preserve our God given rights. Merry Christmas!!!

It's funny, when I was young outfitting with accessories was half the fun and half the effort. But now that I'm in my 60's, I've been leaning back to the simple striped down original versions for simplicity, and to shed bulk and weight. Plus I've also been leaning back to the original architecture from the so called "assault" rifle architecture.

Thanks for reminding me. I got some holsters to catch up on.

Love what you guys are doing!! Keep it up!

When you mentioned that you had bought and own guns for which you have no accessories, I had to laugh because that's ME too! LOL

Slings are an important tool to include on your rifle, whether they are two-point or single-point. However, the most important thing to have are backup iron sights if you mainly use an optic of any type. Batteries die, glass breaks, weather conditions can negatively affect them. Finally, a mounted flashlight is also a critical option to consider.
