He's a supporter of "common sense" gun control, a supporter of mass murderers and a threat to America.

The last place on our road just got sold in a short sale and it appears to be to four adults with nine kids. Our first interaction was when Liam, Meaghan, Padriag, Siobhan and all the kids went up and down the road asking about cleaning everyone's corrals, stacking hay, cutting lawns and sealing driveways for cash.

In my mind, if I ever hear any muzzie scum ever utter this, I'm clearing leather.

Denver is inundated with these somali muslims. And a few of them from Denver have already made national news for trying to kill hundreds in foiled terrorist plots. As far as I'm concerned any muslim has the burden to prove to me that he is not a terrorist or sympathetic to them. Good luck.

Pearce extension help needed!

Armanius — Thu, 23 May 2013 03:45:37 GMT

Hello everyone! I bought a couple of Glock 26 factory (+2) extended magazines. I want to replace the Glock extensions with Pearce pinky extensions (+0).

The Glock (+2) factory mags don't have the rectangular flat inserts that are in the factory 10 round G26 magazines. I'm talking about the inserts that go between the coil and the floor plate.

Is it ok to just use the Pearce extensions without those rectangular flat inserts that go between the coil and the floor plate?

Thanks for the help!

New "Man Of Steel"(Superman) Trailer

S35vn

Copper_Candy — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:52:56 GMT

So I'm having a custom knife built in S35VN here in the next month. I have heard both good and bad about this steel, but it seems like the hardness is the determining issue. Many common knife makers are using this steel in current production, but it seems like it is only hardened to 58-59. Is this sufficient hardness to bring out the best characteristics of this steel? I'm thinking about doing a 60 on my blade, as it seems like it will bring out a better edge without compromising the toughness.

What do you all say? What has been your experience with S35VN?

New Buck Mark

C.O. — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:44:46 GMT

I bought a Buck Mark UFX a couple weeks ago. I've put around 300 flawless rounds through it so far. I am really impressed with the accuracy right out of the box. It is a great gun. I wanted a pistol to shoot that would not cost me an arm and a leg to shoot. I already had tons of 22lr for my 10/22 so the ammo shortage is not an issue right now.

Simple rule of borrowing gone these days?

jdavionic — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:42:08 GMT

When I grew up, I was always told that you return what you borrowed in the same condition or better. A fellow gun owner with a half dozen handguns borrowed one of mine to try out. The guy returns it filthy dirty...must have fired cheap ammo through it. Heck, I wouldn't mind if he said 'hey, I didn't feel comfortable tearing it down' or something. He just gave it back dirty as heck.

Same thing happened with a different friend that borrowed our carpet cleaner. He returned it filthy and with one of the plastic hand tools broken.

I just don't get it. I borrowed a pressure washer before getting my own. I ran it on a steep hill and burned out the motor...oil didn't get where it needed to go. I bought the guy a brand new one, same brand but better model as a replacement.

Small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. Just wondering if folks still think the way that I was taught or if that's now old school...and yes, venting too.

Remington 1100 22" barrel can it work for 3gun?

Mike Bell — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:39:40 GMT

Well I finally got to shoot my rebuilt 1100 that I want to start shooting 3gun with but ran into some problems test firing. (short cycling)

First, let me say that the o-ring is used because I can not find my bag of new ones....:steamed: So yes I know I have to change that first and try to test fire again.

But Im having doubts that the 22" barrel can get enough pressure to cycle low brass game loads.

I have never shot a 3gun match but from what Ive seen, don't you need to be able to shoot bird shot on the clays and steel?

The IRS: Destroying Liberty Since before You Were Born

zeke501 — Thu, 23 May 2013 01:43:25 GMT

In the fallout from the recent revelations about the Internal Revenue Service systematically persecuting conservative political groups and other enemies of President Obama, the establishment is putting on a good show of being shocked by the behavior. The reality is that the IRS is and always has been a tool of oppression and is routinely used by those in power to destroy their opponents.

The IRS has got to GO!!! :steamed:

SB221 passed the senate today

RMTactical — Thu, 23 May 2013 01:42:14 GMT

Mass non-compliance will be in order if this becomes law.

Quote:

Passed Senate floor 11-10 on a party line vote, to assembly next.

Hearing?
Or vote?

Important difference, this late in the session bills can move very quickly.

It's an assembly hearing we will have a last chance to testify against it.

An identical version of the bill has to pass both houses to be eligible for a full floor vote,

Any last amendments we can put in helps to run the clock out as it would have to go back to the senate again.
----------
EDIT: I called the legislature since the NELIS site was not clear.
Next step is the assembly floor for assignment to a committee.
That will probably be the Ways & Means Committee due to the fiscal impact.
It could also be judiciary Committee do to it's impact on and conflict with other laws.
it might even go back to Health and Human Services.

A public hearing is REQUIRED when it gets to that next committee!
This will be our LAST CHANCE to testify against SB221, this is the one where we need HUNDREDS to show up.
No date set yet.

If we can prevent it passing the next committee vote it dies.
If the committee amends it, it has to go back to the senate for concurrence.
If the committee passes it the next stop is a full floor vote of both houses.
It could and should die there, but with the D's majority that is not assured.
I just confirmed that SB221 has been "Interpreted" to not be a tax measure, SO IT ONLY NEEDS A SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR PASSAGE!
This is flat out wrong, weather the "Fee" (Tax) is $30.00 as claimed or the $60.00 that reality dictates a "Fee" is a TAX!
That the "Fee' does not go to the that state (for now) does not make it any less of a tax on the persons paying those "Fee's". (Taxes).

Here is a link to the current language, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/...B/SB221_R2.pdf

I do not want to have to count on Brian Sandoval to veto it.
The "Mental health" sham portion is only there to make it uncomfortable for our governor to veto, it's a nasty little political trick.

G26 Extractor

jmsfmtex — Thu, 23 May 2013 01:22:55 GMT

I inserted a Lone Wolf 40 to 9 barrel in my G27. I saw a video on YouTube where the person said the barrel was cut in such a way that it was not necessary to change the extractor.

I went down to day and picked up a G26 extractor. When I got it home I noticed that it was a used one. The store is 65 miles away so I am reluctant on taking it back. Maybe I will just call them and tell them I am slightly dissatisfied.

Should I be concerned? Should I just used a G27 extractor in this set up?

Pat McNamara 2-Day T.A.P.S. Pistol - June 15-16, 2013 - Los Angeles, CA

TMACS
www.tmacsinc.com

Pat McNamara (Mac) has 22 years of Special Operations experience, 13 of which were in 1st SFOD-D. He has extensive experience in hostile fire/combat zones in the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. He trains individuals at basic and advanced levels of marksmanship and combat tactics.

When he worked in the premier special missions unit, he became an impeccable marksman, shooting with accurate, lethal results and tactical effectiveness. McNamara has trained tactical applications of shooting to people of all levels of marksmanship, from varsity level soldiers, and police officers who work the streets to civilians with little to no time behind the trigger.

His military experience quickly taught him that there is more to tactical marksmanship than merely squeezing the trigger. Utilizing his years of experience, McNamara developed a training methodology that is safe, effective and combat relevant and encourages a continuous thought process. This methodology teaches how to maintain safety at all times and choose targets that force accountability, as well as provides courses covering several categories, including individual, collective, on line and standards.
While serving as his Unit's Marksmanship NCO, he developed his own marksmanship club with NRA, CMP, and USPSA affiliations. Mac ran monthly IPSC matches and ran semi annual military marksmanship championships to encourage marksmanship fundamentals and competitiveness throughout the Army.

He retired from the Army's premier hostage rescue unit as a Sergeant Major and is the author of T.A.P.S. (Tactical Application of Practical Shooting).

2-Day Tactical Application of Practical Shooting (TAPS)

Course Overview:
Tactical shooting requires agile and adaptive thinkers able to handle the challenges of full spectrum operations in an era of persistent conflict. To meet this requirement, TAPS delivers a comprehensive, systematic, progressive Train-the-Trainer shooting program focused on fundamental mastery and built for Law Enforcement officers, military personal, and qualified civilians. Designed for leaders and trainers, the TAPS course also applies to the patrol-level officer, basic level Soldiers, and civilian self & home defense minded shooters. The approach to instruction is through coaching and mentorship and both demonstrates and transfers a training method that is safe, effective, combat relevant, and encourages a continuous thought process that demands accountability.

Training is conducted on the range and focuses on advanced refinement of the basic fundamentals of marksmanship as applied to the primary and secondary weapons systems. Utilizing a building block learning model, TAPS combines the pressures and dynamics of competitive shooting and tactical application. While course of instruction is on the firing range, the TAPS training approach also translates into training venues outside the range.

Course Outline:
The 2-day course offering provides the following training and instruction:
- Lecture on proper weapons handling and safety
- Refresh the fundamentals and grouping exercises
- Conduct a diagnostic course of fire
- Conduct a discussion on the importance of performing a focal shift during training and avoiding mundane drills that do not encourage a thought process
- Other topics covered and practiced are; grouping exercises with both primary and secondary weapon systems, target discrimination, use of barricades, movement, close quarter battle techniques, immediate action drills, ballistics 101, transitions, magazine changes
- Escalation of training and intensity will vary depending on number of students and their skill level though the core of the course will always remain the same
- This course is marksmanship intensive.

Replacing T sights in MMC nightsights

randrew379 — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:52:10 GMT

Bought the sights from Dillon back in the 90s. I like the sights, but the inserts were crap from the start.
Seems I'll need to enlarge the holes to replace. Should I take this to a smith or is it something that's relatively simple to DIY?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Tarnish on leather/bullets, and rust on revolver.

Teecher45 — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:50:58 GMT

Hi guys and gals, I am the lucky receipient of a Colt Python .357. It was my uncles and he passed and left his truck, Jeep, and revolver to his son. His son could not get down to pick them up, so I ended-up with them. The gun is great, shoots good. It has 2 small spots of rust on it. It's stainless, what would be good to try to get rid of the rust?
Also, it came in a leather holster and belt that has ammo loops sewn into it. The ammo loops has ammo in them and the ammo and leather around the ammo has a green growth on them. Is there anything made I can clean the leather and ammo with?
Thanks :wavey:

Interesting day at the range yesterday

Vigilant — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:48:08 GMT

Yesterday was Range Day for annual recert. I usually score a 98 or 99 with the Smif Fotie, but had a bit of a mishap this time around. I haven't shot an M&P or messed with a retention holster since last year's recert, unfortunately. On top of me being a bit rusty, we shot in the pouring rain, and I fumbled a bit with the retention hood on one sequence. The Rangemaster took 2 rounds, or a possible four points. I was pretty bummed out, knowing that the best I could do was a 96, but was bound and determined to get it. Wellll....... about two sequences later, the jackass in the lane to my right put a round into my target. I finished the course, and when they graded me..... I made a 97 out of a possible 96! :rofl:

In the picture, one magazine has the Pearce +2 mag extension for G29/30 glocks. The bullets in the picture are Hornady hollow points. Inside the trigger guard is a weaponized kiradashi I bought at a gun show from a NC knife maker.

Another "this vs that" thread...

cfr — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:14:30 GMT

So I recently couldn't stand it anymore and sold my PPQ "classic". I'm likely not ever going to own very many pistols, and decided I want push button mag releases, that can be switched over for a lefty, on all of them.

I originally sold the Q to get a Q M2, but made the mistake of going online and into several shops just to make sure it's really what I wanted (I should have known better :faint:).

I've ruled out all competition except for an M&P, either a Pro model (shorter barrel with night sights) or with an Apex trigger.

The ergos on the Q cannot be touched by anything in my hands. Between that and the awesome trigger, the PPQ shoots better for me than any other striker fired pistol I've ever shot. In fairness though, I have little experience with timers, etc. so I don't have much to compare it to in that regard.

The M&P brings less muzzle flip to the party. I do believe the Q has got a bad rap with all the "snappy", "wrist breaking", "violent recoil" internet claims, but to say it doesn't exist at all, when comparing to an M&P or Glock is simply to live in denial IMO.

While the M&P feels OK in my hands, it pales in comparison to the majestic wonder that is the PPQ grip, clearly inspired by the "Gods of ergos". :supergrin: It's also been rumored that even an Apex kit still isn't as good as the PPQ trigger, though I've never tried one.

Now my dilemma: Finding a place to rent both an M&P (either Pro model or with an Apex trigger) and a PPQ, both in 9MM, is going to be tough.

All said, what really matters more -- better ergos and trigger, or less muzzle flip? I know this will be subjective, but insight is still appreciated.

This gun will make it's living in home defense, classes, possibly low level competition, possible occasional carry, etc.

Thanks!

Hey - who in the heck was the guy that was on here from ECSO? I remember talking to him a while back, and he knew my uncle; actually, they hunted together. My uncle is since retired from ECSO, and I wouldn't mind meeting up with the guy who is on here...

If anyone else is down this way, I'm here until Friday AM, bouncing back home then. It's a great trip, by the way. Went snorkeling and swam with dolphins today. Kids will be talking about this trip for quite some time. Wife just got pics of an osprey flying over our condo building, and I got some shots of the manta rays in the surf right in front of our condo. We also saw some F-22's out of Tyndall AFB this morning - good deal, since I'm a USAF junkie.

Gombey - I'll be heading back thru your AO Friday - we will likely stop for food there again. Did that on the way down, and I see that city is still a craphole...guess I shouldn't expect things to change for the better, huh? My sister was born at UAB, and Mom got her BSN there, as well.

I will be paying a visit back home on the way home...if that makes sense. I spend a few years as a kid in Walker county (Nauvoo, for those that know the area), and credit those times for making me into the man I became. I think back of living in the country fondly, and will be back there as soon as my youngest is eighteen (12 short years). I haven't been back home in almost 20 years, and am looking forward to the side trip.

Wifey wishes to stop in Lynchburg once back in TN, as she's a JD fan. So much so, that she had a bit too much, and was a grumpy little hungover bear yesterday :supergrin:

Anyway, if anyone is down in Santa Rosa or Escambia counties, hit me up. Wish we could come over to Mobile to see ya, BT, but not this trip. If anyone cares, I can post some pics of stuff we've seen. There's some nice vids of the dolphin trip, and other stuff. Having a great time, and this is exactly what we needed.

Oh, and it's our 16th anniversary today - things were such just a few short months ago, that I didn't think this day would come. Yay!!!

Characteristics of 'sin' and their affects and effects on human personality

Ronny — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:52:09 GMT

Lust- Characterized by desire for physical sex usually at any cost. The reproductive yearning plays a strong role. Danger is that a one night stand will result in reproduction but no family for the child and so harmful to society. In these days of birth control I wonder if it's still relevant.

Gluttony- Characterized by over eating and denying other people a fair share. Very common in modern civilization we see the characteristics in ourselves and neighbors in the form of fat 'asses'.

Greed- Characterized by the desire for things whether material or other, the main characteristic being that while greed covets things it is never satisfied by those things and thus always craving more. Effect on the human personality is that the greedy can never be satisfied.

Sloth- Characterized by laziness of some sort. Results are that other people have to work harder creating a burden on other people.

Wrath- Hatred and such is irrational and leads to irrational acts like homicide and all manner of man slaughter and violence. The main danger is that in lashing out recklessly the wrathful destroy themselves even if not their enemy. We see this a lot in foreign affairs, civil affairs, and family affairs. It is almost always harmful.

Envy- I think this overlaps with greed. Wanting things that you do not possess ensures that you are never satisfied with what you have.

Pride- The desire or belief that you are better than others. This belief has variously resulted in people behaving 'condescendingly towards other or even in 'ethnic cleansing' on the macro scale. I could write about this one all day but I'd just be paraphrasing from the Tao Te Ching.

Lets get this discussion going and see if we can come to some ethical questions and psychological aspects completely free of religious overtone. Is this 7 deadly sin concept a plan for happy, content, and fulfilled living polluted with spiritual overtones? Or is it a theological teaching having some small amount of psychological wisdom concealed in it?
