Double Tap Episode 412 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Midwest Industries, Black Rhino Concealment, Swampfox Optics, RMA Defense, XTech Tactical, Mitchell Defense, and Bowers Group   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 412! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! GunCon PUBLIC EVENT - June 28th Location - Cleveland, Ohio at the Twist Drill Building (1242 E 49th St) Industry/Media Events - June 25-28 (Mixed locations around Cleveland area) https://guncon.net/event/guncon-2025/ use code wlsislife for $5 off   GOALS August 9th and 10th in Knoxville, Tennessee. https://events.goa.org/goals/ - Dear WLS Scott G - A while ago you guys ( ok just Shawn) promised that you would let us know why you parted ways with sponsors. The one that immediately comes to mind is the target company you were pimping last year ( or were they pimping you? ). How about a sponsor update (it is also how we can tell when your core group of gun industry professionals get new jobs lol). Love the show keep it up. Jerermy's Cousin - Since you guys talked about what nuts you guys like in your mouth. What meat sticks do you guys like? Ps I won’t say anything Jeremy wink wink. Zachary V - Bought a psa 16 inch upper with a front sight post and basic magpul furniture when slightly inebriated. Didn’t really need it but now that I have it I’m trying to set it up as a cheap loaner rifle. Looking to keep the cost low but what red dot, sling and light would you put on it? Mitch Not Bitch - I’ve been thinking about signing up for Second Call Defense. I probably will no matter the answer to this question but just had this thought and wanted to see what the response is. Does SCD cover you for other firearm related incidents that don’t involve self defense? For example, carrying a gun in a commie state like if I vacationed to New York or Illinois? Slightly more extreme situation, do they help protect me if I’m found to be in possession of some NFA items without the proper paperwork? If I have the basic plan and someone in my household uses one of my guns to defend against an intruder and I’m not home, do they help with that if I own the home and gun? Are there specific circumstances that they blatantly say they don’t cover or help with outside of the “I’m obviously completely in the wrong, misused a firearm, and am completely retarded” scenarios? You guys rock. No notes Jared P - Self-defense question. I’m a trucker and stopped at the Battle Creek Michigan rest stop the other week to take a fat dump, the dude in the stall next to me put his foot underneath my stall and started rubbing my foot so I’m pretty sure he wanted to fuck but I could be wrong, I had to yell at him to get lost! Could I have used lethal self-defense if he tried to attack me with his wiener? What would the cast do if they were in my shoes, I wasn’t carrying cause I run a Chicago route, all I had was a razor-sharp knife E Wrekt - Since I live in the State where we have the best gun laws and our leader in arms Davin Newscone. The canik mete mc9 is being added to the roster. What are your thoughts on it? I'm considering adding it to my EDC collection. Thank you stay fresh and always stay clean. Jeremy keep the guys on a tight leash. And Dickless Nick stay Dickless. Appreciate the show. Later.   Mark S - Recently saw that Brendan Herrara is promoting Firearms Direct Club. Have yall heard anything about it? firearmsdirectclub.com/home/join/   Little Chubby - Please help!!! I had my mind set on getting a Springfield Armory DS Prodigy. After seeing that sick Mischief Machine grip module for the Echelon, I can't decide. I can't afford both of them right now. Which one should I get first? Thanks, love the show.   The winner of this week's swag pack is Jared P! To win your own, go to welikeshooting.

Shawn - Mischief Machine Unleashed Mischief Machine Fuse Savage - Meshtastic - Toxic relationship Bullet Points Shawn - Recoil Tech Made Simple Foxtrot Mike clear up - Shawn, the RMb has some reciprocating mass, and a surprisingly complex design that affects recoil in 2 ways. ,When the mass of a pcc moves all the way rearward and the buffer smacks the end of the buffer tube, there is a mechanism that compresses with a heavy weight spring, and inside the buffer, it terminates against a high durometer urethane puck inside the buffer.,For the other end of the recoil stroke, there is reciprocating mass that helps keep the bolt in battery, and is there to overcome bolt bounce. As you add mass (its 9.5 ozs so lil on heavy side), recoil goes down, at the cost of bolt bounce.,I'd love to send you all a couple samples if you want to check them out? ,RMB:,https://www.theoutdoorwire.com/releases/13d43336-a442-4018-837f-c269dde4cede,Maybe a VFM-9 upper (on sale now for $239)?,https://www.theoutdoorwire.com/releases/0bd2ba31-3579-4569-b070-e8b453d1b778,https://store.fm-products.com/products/fm-products-5397-1463b865-bbbc-4aed-be84-60f5c638509d,This is new, our Foldyboi (on sale now for $399 w RMB buffer):,https://www.theoutdoorwire.com/releases/fddc398f-49b3-41ef-9f84-8de727349b77,https://store.fm-products.com/products/fm-products-foldyboi-lwr-rmb-5397 Shawn - Soft Body Armor Trends and Insights The article discusses the growing popularity of Level IIIA tactical vests for civilian use, particularly for emergency and home defense situations due to their lightweight and concealable design.
