"Keep Calm, Carry On"

Jade Falcon — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:52:15 GMT

Yes, it was famously said throughout Britain during the Blitz of WW2.

But damn, these three guys give "Calm" a whole new meaning. ("All four engines have stopped. I trust you are not too much distressed.")

Well...."new" by 1982 standards.

It's about 45 minutes long, so enjoy:

If it wasn't so terrifying and damaging, it probably would have been a beautiful sight to see.

Any doubts as to flying through an ash cloud can now be put to rest. Don't listen to the pilot who tells you, "I can do it."

Picked up a Couple of Classics

CajunBass — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:46:23 GMT

I hope it's ok to post this here. If not, I suppose someone will move it or lock it. It IS General Firearms related.

I picked up a couple of classics over the last few days. I should have gotten them years ago, but kept putting them off, and putting them off. Finally bit the bullet, so to speak.

"Sixguns" is a recent edition. I didn't know it was still in print.

The copy of "Hell, I was There" is really interesting. The blurb on Amazon said "It's been written in by someone who apparently knew him and hunted and camped with him."

I was expecting some scribbling on the pages here and there. I was not expecting an autograph with that signature under it.

2 Men Kill man with Machete, shouting Allahu Akbar

Mango40 — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:42:59 GMT

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...kbar-and-mach/

A machete-wielding attacker and his gun-toting sidekick killed a man in the streets of London on Wednesday, and police are regarding the pair – whom they subsequently shot – as potential terrorists.
The prime minister called the incident “truly shocking,” and said police are investigating it as a terrorist attack, BBC reported. Witnesses say they saw a man walking down Woolwich Street, when he was attacked by two individuals. They also said they heard at least one of the attackers scream ‘Allahu Akbar,” meaning God is great, during the course of the attack, BBC reported.

Crimson Trace Laserguard: Compatible with Clipdraw?

Obi-Wan Kenobi — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:27:47 GMT

Considering investing in a laserguard for the CW9. I carry this 4:00 iwb cond3 with nothing more than a Clipdraw. Wondering about my waistband activating the button.

Carrying deep in a iwb holster might apply similar pressure to the frontstrap.

Anyone tried this yet?

Mod. 30 "Slide Stop Spring" Install ??????

canine906 — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:24:34 GMT

I had a LaserMax Laser on a Mod. 21 and sold it this past week. The guy that bought it said I didn't send all the parts and he was right, I didn't. LaseMax kept my OEM slide stop switch and spring back in 95. Well as I was in the basement checking out the pistol to see if he was right I disassembled my Mod. 30 to see if the spring was the same as the 21. NOPE it wasn't.
I sent him the slide stop (from LM) and the spring as well.
OK, I said all that to say this.

FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CAN'T PUT THE SPRING BACK INTO THE 30. and make it cause upward tension on the slide stop.

"To our knowledge" >> DOJ: We haven't 'compromised' Sharyl Attkisson's computers

Quote:

The Dept. of Justice says it has never "compromised" computers belonging to Sharyl Attkisson, the CBS News investigative reporter who on Tuesday said that her personal and work computers were under investigation after intrusions by an unspecified entity.

�To our knowledge, the Justice Department has never �compromised� Ms. Atkisson�s computers, or otherwise sought any information from or concerning any telephone, computer, or other media device she may own or use," Dean Boyd, a Justice Dept. spokesperson, told POLITICO on Tuesday night.

A Note to IRS & DOJ miscreants and Obama Staffers

czsmithGT — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:16:22 GMT

History tells us that protecting a criminal president can be risky business.

No, Obama won't be impeached- Neither was Nixon.

No. Obama won't go to jail- Ford pardoned Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while in office.

But Mitchell, Haldeman, Erlichman, Colson, Dean, Liddy, Magruder, Segretti, McCord, Gonzalez et. al. all went to jail.

Hope you have a bottomless pit of money for lawyers, because prison, even one of those "country club" prisons, is not a pleasant place.

Democrats Turn on IRS; Compare IRS Scandal to Totalitarian Regimes

snerd — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:13:29 GMT

Quote:

In a fiery statement, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA), cited the State Department's annual human rights report, and the practice of tyrannical regimes that enact human rights on paper but fail to honor them in practice. He compared the conduct of the IRS in singling out Tea Party and conservative groups to those regimes.

Lois Lerner thrown under the bus

Quote:

Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS operation that targeted Tea Party groups is being thrown under the bus by Obama. As both John McCormack of The Weekly Standard and Bryan Preston of the PJ Tatler noticed, in the wake of her taking of the Fifth Amendment before the Issa Committee today, two Obama media operatives, both veterans of Journolist who were called into the White House yesterday for consultations, both called for her firing. The two are the Washington Post's Ezra Klein and Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memorandum.

Dawson sights

CaptainXL — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:50:05 GMT

I just finished adding Dawson Precision adjustable rear and fiber optic front sights to my G34. The front is a .355 tall .125 wide fiber optic and the rear is a Dawson Precision standard notch adjustable.

Dawson rears always have to be "fitted" and it took me almost an hour and a half of filing with a triangle needle file to get the rear sight fitted. File a little and try the fit. File a little and try the fit. Repeat 20 or so times and you've got it done right.

They came out nice. It will be a few days before I can try them due to rain for the next couple of days.

Walmart ammo tracking without an iPhone/iPad

Buckshot Barry — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:31:26 GMT

Ammo has been a little thin at my local Walmarts the last 7 days. I track it with my iPhone and iPad using the Walmart app. I got to thinking something might be up, even ran accross some online rumors, so I scheduled an early morning trip to the one Walmart I know that plays totally by the rules. They roll the cart out at 7:00 am sharp. Here is the info for 05/22/2013

Rumor had it that Walmart had lowered the limit to just 1 box per day. This Walmart still had the 3 box limit posted.

The Walmart app was spot on. Nothing received except for Federal Match Auto .22, 325 count boxes, just like the app indicated. It took an hour for the app to show out of stock after the 10 boxes were sold.

The shelves were bare of all the good stuff, just like the app indicated.

Here is the cool item. I found this script for use on computers / devices that can't run the iPhone app and it was spot on, including the hour it took the iPhone to show out of stock. Here is the link

http://mobile.walmart.com/m/searchfi...2&city=&state=

You will need to change the Zipcode. Here are 2 more items I follow

http://mobile.walmart.com/m/searchfi...4&city=&state=

http://mobile.walmart.com/m/searchfi...2&city=&state=

You can get the product id's from the regular website. The line at the web page that reads "In stock status is approximate and was last updated on 05/19/2013 at 11:41 AM )" does not seem to be correct. It's a lot more current than that.

Autobody shops rant

OctoberRust — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:55:09 GMT

So on April 21st (still had my temp tags) I was going to get breakfast when some idiot who was texting rear ended me at a red light going 30-40 mph.

It was rather amusing at first, since I had quite a few witnesses, and he was pulling the "no habla ingles" card. Needless to say he didn't have insurance, but USAA is taking care of me.

....So where the real rant starts. Off to the body shop it goes, the adjuster gets there and does their job and comes up with a $ amount to get it fixed. They've had my corvette in their possession since 4-22-2013 and keep pushing the date back. Now I guess they pushed the date back due to issues with the exhaust being back ordered from the distributor.

Is this normal? Do body shops take this long? I've been without my car for over a month now.

Purchased a gen4 FDE!

1983weatherby — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:37:12 GMT

I got my hands on a gen 4 Glock 26 in FDE yesterday. I was super stoked as I have been wanting a FDE in a gen4 because I like the back straps better than the previous glocks. The beavertail on that gun just feels so right.

It also came with the magazine extensions on all 3 magazines. Locally purchased for $550.

Standardized patient gig

Mrs. VR — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:27:56 GMT

So, in the midst of all my chaos, I've had a fairly steady stream of standardized patient jobs at the military medical school (USUHS) simulation center.

Two weeks ago I was a well woman patient for 2nd year med students onan OB/GYN Rotation, this week I'm the mom of a constipated 9 year old for interns,and next week i get GI issues!!( I'm a natural at that )

I love doing this so much. I'm getting paid well to act, I get to meet tons of super interesting people, but most importantly, im helping people be better health care providers. I get to provide feedback, and let them know when they are using great bedside manner, or not!

I never knew these programs existed before last year, and I think it's so important. I think all the major medical schools do similar, so I'd encourage anyone who has a little spare time and an interest to look into it! I wish I could do this as a steady job.

If something bad broke out would you feel undergunned carrying your 380. I carry my Glock 26 every day and have for years. I love my G26! However, for dress reasons today I just couldn't carry it, and have carried my LCP only. I feel a little underprepared if I were robbed or worse, but thats the hand that today has dealt me. What do you guys think. Thanks!

survivalblog.com

bdcochran — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:31:45 GMT

The charter of this forum within Glocktalk is survival under extreme conditions.

Ragnar's blog contains studies of population density and potential casualties.

A recent study of interest was the governmental evaluation of the impact of a 7.0 earthquake in Salt Lake. The study concluded that people needed to be prepared for 96-112 hours of survival without government aid. The first two governmental priorities would be to clear lanes of transportation and re-establish communications. This evaluation should be sobering to people who swallowed the previous recommendation of preparing for 72 hours.

In Los Angeles, the public service announcements pronounce that people are less prepared today than when the last earthquake happened. If the government figures are correct, the average family has a couple of days of food at home and there is about three days of food in the local grocery stores.

If you factor in destruction of food stuffs, the average person will be very hungry or starting to starve after 72 hours.

When you had the lockdown outside Boston, it was clear that many people were dependent upon fast food franchises and the daily run to the grocery store, so the lockdown was lifted after 1/2 day.

Ragnar also shows population density maps, and specifically doubting that even northern Maine would be spared from hordes of people, concluded that you weren't going to make it thinking that you would live off the land east of the Mississippi River. His presentation will never persuade people who think that a few miles of rural farmland will protect them from hordes of people with 400 miles worth of gasoline in the car fuel tank and the armed occupants of the vehicles.

My conclusion is that I have to buy some more mres and coast guard rations.:wavey:

Prayers needed

m2hmghb — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:05:32 GMT

Mom is in the hospital with probable internal bleeding. It took me 2 hours to convince her to get her ass to the hospital, luckily dad still drives like a cop even though he's retired. Mom refused when I tried to call the medics so I had to wait for him to take her in. She's on blood thinners and has low platelets from the chemo.

She had been given 2 bags of red blood cells last thursday (16th) and was critical on tuesday, I figure she was losing over 1 point of hemoglobin a day. Right now she's stable waiting for the gastroenterologist to do a work up on her, they just put a stent in her bile duct which could have caused this, or it could have caused it to become worse since she's been having a problem with her RBC and hemoglobin for a while now.

Hell of a Birthday present eh? I know I'm not a cop, but I feel more at home here. Any prayers you guys could spare would be appreciated.

2013 US Carbine Association National Championship

jtischauser — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:01:47 GMT

The first ever USCA National Championship is in the works: The 2013 Noveske Rifleworks USCA National Championship.

US Carbine Association

The match will be in Florida Nov.15th - 17th. 280+ shooters over 9-stages. ROs shoot on the 15th. Shooters will shoot 5-stages on Saturday, the 16th, and 4-stages on Sunday, the 17th.

The list of sponsors is just being formed but Noveske, Wilson Combat, Magpul, Bladetech, Viking Tactics and a few more are already confirmed. We are very close to bringing on several more gun manufacturers. The prize table will get better day by day.

We're also putting together a "super squad" with several top 3-Gun competitors you all are very familiar with.

The match will be "formally" announced in the next week or so and the site will be updated. Registration is opening mid-June for non-sponsored shooters. I'll also keep this thread updated with details as they emerge.

Gen 4 case bulge

LocknLoadPA — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:57:08 GMT

Hi all, new to Glock Talk. I plan on reloading for my G23 (well at least as soon as I can find primers and bullets, which we all know isn't easy) and have a question about case bulge.

I read on line that Glocks, in the past, had a problem with a non supported chamber, but when I pull the barrel out of my Gen 4 and drop a cartridge in it, it appears to be fully supported. Some other info sources said that Glock fixed the unsupported issue by the time Gen 4 came out.

My press is a Lyman T Mag and I have the Lee 4 die set. My caliper readings on once fired cases after decap/resize and expand seem to be well within the parameters of the max case dimensions illustrated in the Lyman manual.

Any input from more experienced Glock reloaders would be appreciated.

Things I've found at work this week

I work for a college and do maintenance work. All the students are gone now for summer/graduation. So we're in charge of going through dorms and apartments and doing repairs/checks.

While going through the women's dorms we've ran across old panties, female condoms, condoms, used tampons, and various clothing left behind. Nasty moldy food in the fridge. All the drains stopped up with hair and who knows what else??

Some of these rooms are so nasty and smell awful. Makes me wonder just how nasty women can be.

Can't wait to go through the guys dorms. Bet it will be just as nasty as the gals areas.
