In the world of firearms, there exists more add-on’s and accessories for our toys than for our wives wardrobe. The 1911 and AR-15 are perfect examples of two of the most highly accessorized (or customized, if you prefer) firearms on the planet. There are literally THOUSANDS of items available for both platforms that can transform your weapon from that boring, out-of-the-box plinker, into a massive, hulking, purveyor of doom. Many upgrades do make the gun shoot better and more accurately, like match grade barrels and triggers, while others aid in target acquisition. However, when does it become too much? When does the ‘Coolness Factor’ overtake the practicality of the accessory? I’m all for making your weapon shoot as well as you can make it, but do you really need that third laser/light combo on your battle rifle?
Remember, the more things you put on a weapon, the more things you have to remember and think about. Plus, that’s more things that can go wrong with the very thing that may be called upon to save your life. Batteries die, but iron sights will always work. Even after an EMP.
Just food for thought.
Hey Ed, love the blog my friend, and I think I know the guy that owns that AR, lol, way to much, that has to weigh 20lbs. I like my EO Tech on my AR, but definetely practice with the iron sights
