.50 Cal SLAP Rd Explosion Video

[ssgross]

I don't shoot anything I don't know the origin of.

Absolutely...I don't shoot surplus or 2nd hand ammo, and I don't shoot another person's reloads either unless I was in the room with him when they were made.
And another thing...half his face would be gone and likely killed instantly if wasn't wearing eye protection.

Yep. That thing with good eye protection was enlightening and humbling at the same time.
I alway wear glasses, but mostly just my correction glasses. Now I'm always thinking about that video and am starting to wonder if I should always wear the safety ones.
They are so uncomfortable if you wear glasses underneath and also wear ear protection other than plugs.

You can get safety glasses with your prescription lenses in made. I got my current ones issued by a place I worked for years ago. My ear protection also - two perks in an otherwise not so nice company.

I use ess suppressor glasses.

They are affordable, combat tested (they had or do have a contract with US military), and the model above has thin arms to comfortably fit under comm gear...or hearing protection.
I wore them with contacts before I had Lasik a few years ago. But now, I sometimes slip reading glasses with thin arms under them too...works wonders with tiny peeps on 1903's and Krags, or tiny thin front posts on my trapdoor Springfield.

My son complained about them hurting when he used them with this Howard Leight so I when and got him the 3M SecureFit 400.



Working at the range 9 hours a day got painful wearing safety glasses and Howard Leight earmuffs. It was a GOD send when my wife gave me these Caldwell E-Max Shadows I absolutely love them. Can wear whatever shooting glasses I want and no cheek weld issues.
