Peace through superior firepower
| You just have to look at their webpage to get the idea: Get ready! This taxi is taking us to Pimp Town! Huggy Bear-Approved "lifestyle accessories" for the Instagram generation. Needs more gold, though! The value of these items is determined by how good they look in Snapchat or whatever the fuck twenty-somethings waste their time with. "Utility"? That's so Twentieth Century, grandpa! And if that manufacturer objects to our criticisms, they shouldn't fret. Their products are getting exposure and no matter how harsh we are, someone will pop up in this thread saying "I just ordered one of their AR grips and 'enhanced' takedown pins."And all this "nextgen shit" After that will be the nextnextgen. Don't make changes just for the sake of making changes, because you're going to end up with this kind of shit. |

| As an added bonus, those pins can be used as cufflinks. Remember- it is better to look good than to shoot good, and you look mahvelous! |

| My one beef with the AR: The charging handle. I have always found it to be awkward to use. The extended ones, regardless of design or maker, have not changed my impression. Possibly because I began my shooting experience with conventional side mounted charging systems. Strongly considering switching my upper to a side charger. What does everyone recommend for a decent charging handle? Ease of use is what I am looking for. My current AR is the Ruger SR556 and is Mil Spec.

| It's a long standing tradition to Bling up a firearm. Heck, go back 400 years and you'll see firearms with rubies and diamonds decorating the stock and lots and lots of Gold inset into the actions. Me, I like to Bling up my Shotguns with really pretty wood so I do it too. These "handles" are nothing more than Bling. While it's not to my taste and does appear to have the potential to injure the shooter it's not of my business what someone puts on their gun to dress it up.
I've stopped counting.

| Thanks, RR! I will keep you in mind. My range is under the same amount of snow you guys got, so I am waiting for the thaw to wring out my new SR556.
