Body types and preferences in fit and eyesight

There are a wide range of body types that we deal with when sell tactical clothing and sometimes certain cuts just don’t work out.   Recently we had a huge sale on Woolrich Elite half-zip sweatshirts and we had people tell us they fit them except for the length was too long.   Other people have said they were too tight around the waste.   The truth of the matter is that this is something you really can’t get around.   There are no perfect fitting pants or shirts for everyone.   The tactical market has gotten so big that everyone is going to have to just try things on and find out what works for them.

When it comes to rifles and carbines, gun accessories are going to be customized to your hand size and your arm length.   Magpul gun accessories give you cheek weld options and ever optic including Trijicon Rifle Scopes for sale in our store may need to be adjusted to the shooter.  Everyones face and cheek weld is going to be different and you won’t be a proficient operator unless you know how to adapt your gun to what you find comfortable.   Sometimes you just have to get use to it, but there are always stock extensions or shorting option available.

Hottest Seller for the M4 Carbine from Trijicon

Sometimes we get a new product from a company that just flat out blows away the previous production line, but recently we have noticed that our most consistent selling M4 Optic is the Trijicon TA01NSN ACOG.   This is probable the most practical setup without over complicating the system and putting higher mounted parts on the already high sitting combat optic.   The Trijicon TA01NSN has backup iron sights for close up fighting.   For those trained with iron sights, nothing gets you back to the basics and away from glass optics that those metal or composite posts.

One of the best things about the ACOG system is the optics come already mounted.  We have all witness some shooters have a really difficult time with long range shooting because the optics they are deploying are not leveled properly.  The Trijicon TA01NSN like it’s fellow ACOGS can come on a carry handle or it’s only mount.  Nothing to adjust with the optic like you have to with scope rings, these optics are already leveled and once they are sighted in they can be removed and should remained zeroed.

Something to consider for AK optics that’s new

I’ve gone through many trends with firearms and optics.   Most people start out with iron sights and a bolt action but there is nothing wrong with starting someone out with an AR15A2 style gun.    In my opinion all combat firearms should have backup iron sights on them and every AR15 style carbine has that option.   Some firearms do not handle optics very well, especially many of the battle rifles that came out of the NATO Countries in the last century.   Optics have gotten stronger, but some mounts just don’t hold up in the real world.   The AK style of firearms were very limited with the types of optics that  you could mount on them.  If you have a side rail you would have to worry about some serious cheek weld issues due to the heights of various optics.

I recently watched a video on the Personal Defense Network where Rob Pincus goes over some improvements that you can make to the AK rifles to improve the ergonomics.   One optic that I have fallen in love with recently is the Trijicon ACOG 1.5×16 ring and dot.  You can get them in red or green ring and in my humble opinion, these optics give you a real reason to not get an Eotech gun sight.   The Eotech will give you a larger field of view, but the 1.5 magnification gives you a little help in identifying something just a little further out.  The red ring has more clarity than the Eotech gun sight and didn’t have the haze that some optics give you.
