Welder Glove

[Orbie]

What are you using to grab ahold of that blistering hot whisper pickle? I’m leaning towards getting a welder glove but wanted to make sure there’s not something better that I’m overlooking.

A silicon kitchen mitten or pad works fine. I generally let mine just cool off.

I keep a pair of welder gloves by the fire pit and under the grill / smoker.

I guess the first question is why are you needing to touch it while it's hot. I tend to shoot a bit, then leave it sit on the bench to cool.

I wanted to switch from the 14.5 to the 11.5

Must be a good can if you’re using it on an11.5 inch barrel

I like my Sandman-S on my 11.5, but its only 5.56mm

Gotcha, makes perfect sense. A good leather glove should be all you need then.

I like my short barreled gun for their short barrel. When it’s wearing the DBAL & weapon light I really don’t want any more weight forward.

I set up a LMT piston gun for the wife with a can. After she died I moved it to a SOCOM upper that I put an ACOG on. The can mounts to a standard birdcage.

So many of my rifles sport Smith Vortex flash suppressors. The dedicated .22 upper has a bird cage or a can.

I’m very happy with it. I’m amazed at how soft the 11.5” is with the Griffin Recce 5. Out of 48 positions of adjustment, I settled on position 45 in bleed-off mode with the Superlative Arms adjustable gas block. I still got a good amount of gas to the face with the FCD charging handle which is supposed to dissipate the gas. I’ll swap the Radian SD next time I go shooting to check the difference. There’s too many variables to know for sure. The 11.5” being a carbine and the 14.5” being mid gas with BCMs MK2 upper that is supposed to help with blowback. I didn’t notice any gas to the face on the BCM upper.

If I had a RC2 I guess I could piss on it?

Piss on it, then shoot it off. Targets downrange get your urine all over them.


Win-win

Ideally, don't swap when hot. That's a quick way to get things either seized on, or not tight enough and potential issues.

Silicon potholders are a solid option if you absolutely have to. Again though, let it cool before swapping if at all possible.
