What is the K.I.S.S principal?

oneastrix · 09-10-2002, 09:19 PM

KISS is "Keep it simple stupid..." The only thing I have is a Streamlight M3 tac light on my duty Glock.....

BattleRifleG3 · 09-10-2002, 09:34 PM

My 10/22 is barely recognizable, having a choate pistol grip stock and Simmons scope on high rise rings. But my M1 Garand has just what it came with... Except for a varnished stock.

Dont sound so grumpy 1*

I keep it simple.

The only thing I splurge some on is my stash of ammo. I wanted something decent and reliable if I every need to 'dispose of' a few thousand rounds.

I have scoped a couple of rifles but it makes no sense to me to put a $300 + scope on a $150 SKS.

But, if someone else wants to go for it then let 'em have at it.

If I had a good Sako or new CZ rifle then it would be different.

I will sometimes up-grade on sights if the ones that are on the gun are really crappy. I don't like anything that relies on batteries or electronics to work. A simple flashlight mounted on a shotgun is ok,as are night sights. For a special purpose weapon I think a scope is a good. For a battle rifle,peep sights. For a combat handgun,good fixed sights.

wes · 09-10-2002, 11:13 PM

Oh yeah,if it makes it more reliable,it's good.

BattleRifleG3 · 09-10-2002, 11:24 PM

I like fixed sites on a handgun as well. And I've never found a more accurate iron site than the simple one on my Savage 111G.

8mm Vigilante · 09-10-2002, 11:49 PM

all of my guns are K.I.S.S. in action

Mark... I wasn't sounding grumpy. "K.I.S.S.' literally stands for "Keep It Simple, Stupid."

Big Dog · 09-11-2002, 06:26 AM

It depends on the gun for me. My "home defense" shotgun is tricked out with all the goodies (folding PG stock, 8-round mag tube, under-barrel light, etc), but my hunting shotgun is just as it left the Remington factory. My milsurps are generally in as-issued state, though cleaned up. My 1911 sports a better grip, but is otherwise as Mr. Browning intended it to be.

Calvin · 09-11-2002, 06:29 AM

I like to have a few toys that are above and beyond general issue. However, when it comes to rifles, I will not have one without iron sights. They are the basic necessity.

Mossberg 500 with 16 1/2 barrel, pistol grips on both ends, 5 round holder attached and heat shield.

MarkII 22 · 09-11-2002, 10:03 AM

Ok 1* I got you

Doglips · 09-11-2002, 03:53 PM

I puyt scopes on most of the rifles...only because I now have to shoot left handed and Im right eye domanit...lost the vision in my right eye in 1985....as for the other stuff I keep meaning to order the cool stocks..flash surpressors ect but hate wateing the $$...instead order a diffrent rifle.

guffster · 09-11-2002, 04:33 PM

Simple, except I've got trijicon sights on a couple of Sigs & changed grips on a couple of handguns & put an ambi-safety on the Bushmaster cause I shoot rifles left handed.

Snakebite · 09-11-2002, 04:51 PM

Except for a red dot on the Ruger .45 LC and the scope on the SKS, all are original. I dont think the red dot helps me any but the scope helps. Next time I have to get my prescription for stronger glasses, I just might scope a few more rifles.

I don't install everything that is available but I like to upgrade a lot.
Special interest in scopes w/see thru bases (all long guns), and sights (laser & tritium) whenever available for the model in question

For the combat S/G, folding stock with pistol grip at both ends with ammo carriers at sling, receiver and stock. (weights a ton but you got plenty of ammo) and you may want to add 1 or 2 bandoliers LOL

Rifle = scope w/see thru base.

Handguns, no scopes or red dots and depends on the use:
1) precision shooting, tricked to the max that my wallet permits.
2) personal defence, special personal setup based on personal testing of critical parts.
