I am switching from KAC rail panels to Magpul ladder rails. They do look nice.

Looks like something a cat would want to claw on to help it look better....

I'd hit that kitty right between the eyes with a double tap before it left the litter box......

As long as you don't ever plan on grabbing the rails after the weapon gets hot, they work fine.

I like the ladders as well, but they will not protect you from hear. Still need to run a VG and or gloves (or both as I do).

That reminds, I have to figure what gloves I want so I can get off my a$$ and buy them.

I have run the Oakly's, Hatch Operator, BH SOLAG and BH Water Ops. I have just picked these up: www.hatch-corp.com/lawpages/sog-lall.html and really like them so far.

ROFL!

They are a PITA to remove though.

I've used the el cheapo Hatch flight gloves for years, which extend a little over the wrist. I didn't like how it covers my watch, so I just bought some Operator 'shorty' gloves, which stop at the wrist. I was prone at a class 2 weeks ago and another student's shell landed under my arm and burned my wrist about 1/2 inch out from the edge of the glove. I'm still scarred- Murphy's Law sucks.

I got one better than that. I had a case lodge itself between my shooting glasses and my eye lid!!!

To say that I was PISSED would be an understatement.

I had the same thing happen. .308 brass right between the eyelid/upper cheek and my glasses. That was the last time I didn't wear a ballcap shooting.

SUCKS A$$ don't it! I had this nice red ring burned into my eye lid for about a week. Every time I blinked people would ask me what happened.

I was at the Rocky Boots store (I live where Rocky used to make their boots) and they had the nomex flight gloves (and other styles) in three different cuff lengths. I have a pair of the short cuff ones and they are very nice and comfortable. Price was a bit less than the Hatch and others.

I checked their web site and they do not have the gloves listed in their "tactical" section at this time.
