Puzzling Evidence of Treyvon's Character

Best Gun TV Shows

Kriterian — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:58:45 GMT

I'm an idiot because all this time I thought the Outdoor Channel was satellite only, but I actually have it with my cable subscription.

I just wanted Glocktalk Opinions on the best gun related, non-hunting shows out there. I prefer self defense or competition related topics but I don't mind history either.

I used to watch Top Shot and Sons of Guns but I'm getting a little burned out on the reality based shows.

Thanks for any picks to watch or avoid.

Big Hen PartyMy girls celebrated their first birthday yesterday and had a b

Foxterriermom — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:56:43 GMT

My girls celebrated their first birthday yesterday and had a big time all day and into the evening. They partied pretty hard last night � had to tell them a couple of times to hold it down. This morning feathers, saw dust, and little empty airline bottles of tequila were strewn all over the backyard. They were moving pretty slowly when I left so I suspect a few of them are slightly hung over. Serves them right � they are too young to be indulging like that.

The cornbread cake was a big hit!

Stupidity of Smart Phones and Ipods etc

JuneyBooney — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:51:20 GMT

I think that the purpose of Ipods and Smart Phones is to entertain the people because you go into stores and each bonehead is on the stupid phones rather than enjoying themselves or paying attention to what they should be doing. Then we watch as people walking down the street get hit by cars because they have their stupid earphones on listening to music on their stupid phones. I wonder how we survived without "smart phones". :whistling:

Clays load for Glock 21 ?

Ghost44 — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:18:06 GMT

I'm a (gonna be) new Glock 21 owner. (In fact I will pick it up next week) I currently reload my own .45 for bullseye shooting.
I like using Hogdon Clays powder. I also understand I need to use a FMJ bullet (not hard cast) in the Glock. Can I get some recommendations for a Clays load for IDPA / combat shooting? (gr., bullet wt., type, OAL, crimp size)
Thanks

Interested in starting to shoot IDAP

Ghost44 — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:08:17 GMT

I just acquired a Glock 21 from a retired Chicago suburb cop. I have been shooting bullseye year round indoors 1x/mo and outdoors when the weather is decent also 1x/mo at the ISRA range.
The ISRA range also conducts "combat shoots" a couple of times a year that looked very interesting.
What equipment do I need to start?
Are any modifications to my gun needed right away?

Former Glock owner getting back in

friedspam — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:55:06 GMT

Have owned several over the years, looking to get back in, wanting to learn what is available today.

Had a Gen 2 G23, loved it, G27 didn't love it couldn't get my paw to fit it right, G30 should have learned my lesson on the G27.

Am trying to figure out if Gen 4 or Gen 3 in the G23 is the "right" fit for me today, thought I'd come here and learn some before slapping down the cash.

Thanks,
Mike

I graduated college over half-a-life ago

Dennis in MA — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:44:49 GMT

I just realized this. I graduated at 21. I'm 44. WHOA! I have to say, the 17 years (K-college) was far longer than the 23 in between.

10 years from now - when I start gearing down in retirement - is forever from now but 10 years ago, my kids were youngsters and was YESTER-FREAKIN-DAY!

I used to laugh at people that told me that time passed faster as you got older. If only I could have time pass the way it did when I was 7. Back then, the 4 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed like a YEAR. LOL

Dissecting Cats in high school.....what do ya think?

bocaboca — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:29:49 GMT

How would you feel if your son/daughter came home from school and said that they were going to dissect a cat in biology/science class. Some local parents are objecting to the practice.

would you think was OK or would your emotions dictate how you felt about it.

I'm looking for a collapsible stock for my DPMS LR-308AP4.

Can you recommend me a stock that doesn't rattle?

I use this gun for big game hunting from a small pop-up blind.

Thanks in advance.

ALG QMS trigger $45

BenjiEDF — Fri, 24 May 2013 05:14:59 GMT

I'm almost done with my new PSA rifle build. I got their lower parts kit w/o the fire control group because I wanted to try the ALG "quality mil-spec trigger." I just assembled the lower today and I'm amazed at how much better this trigger is than any other mil-spec trigger. It's fantastic. I thought the windham and colt triggers were good compared to some other AR's I've tried... no, they are crap compared to the ALG. I almost got a Geisselle SSA (which I'm sure is great) but decided to give this a go at 1/5th the cost and I'm glad I did. I didn't want a match grade hair trigger just something with no grit, little to no creep, and a clean break. This is it. If anyone is doing a budget build and wants a little more for their money, this one is worth it.

Kids and Unsecured Guns

brokenprism — Fri, 24 May 2013 04:50:06 GMT

Some guy in NJ is facing 5 counts of child endangerment for each unsecured gun he had in his house after his 4 yr old shot a 6 yr old with one of them. A DA in WA state wants a new law to prosecute people for this. Since it's a child endangerment charge, it's only a matter of time before child welfare agencies start demanding to know what homes have guns in them if kids are also in them. It's a custody time bomb for sure. Eventually, just being a parent will be probable cause for searches.

My question is about what possesses kids to point guns at their friends and siblings and pull the triggers? I'm sure that by and large, they've seen enough TV -- even at young ages -- to grasp the concept, and maybe that's why they do it, but it doesn't strike me as a natural act; a natural gesture. Who are these kids and what's their upbringing?! The recent case involved a .22 rifle, which is also barely manageable by a 4 yr old, I'd think. Sad. My daughter never showed the slightest interest in my guns, but she was also informed about them.

Craziest Bar/party story

Dubble-Tapper — Fri, 24 May 2013 04:07:51 GMT

My buddy was home on leave before going back to his post in Germany (Army). He had some awesome stories to tell over beers, most involving drunkeness and boredom.

Most people have done some partying at one time or another. It's always interesting to hear people's wildest 'Hangover' style stories, ones from military guys who have been overseas, dive bar bouncers, crazy house parties, etc. Its also interesting to hear the 'back in my day' stories.

Lets hear them

Need cable splicing help

Kedyn — Fri, 24 May 2013 04:01:53 GMT

I was eating breakfast at my computer this morning, listening to music, when suddenly the sound stopped. I checked Spotify to see if it was lagging, then checked to make sure everything was plugged in correctly. When I looked down, I saw one of my cats happily nomming on my heatset cord. That little chub had nearly bit through the entire cord in just a few seconds!

I've done some research on repairing this sort of damage. I have stripped the wires, burned off the colored coating, and reconnected everything to the best of my knowledge. Here's how it looks:

http://imgur.com/cMZHFmu

It's messy, I know, but for now it works - I'll clean it up a bit once I figure out how to get everything working. The red, green, and blue wires are for the headset speakers and are working. The problem is the darn microphone, which is the white and copper wires. I've tried twisting the two types of wires together, but it does not work. The big copper part at the top is wrapped around the white cable inside the headset's cord, so that may have something to do with it.

My question is, does anyone know how to get the microphone working? I will probably buy a new headset, but I want to get this one working until I can afford one.

Anyone familiar with this gun?

What's Your Favorite Thing to Smoke(Food not drugs)

Gonzoso — Fri, 24 May 2013 03:12:46 GMT

I just got a sweet new propane smoker.

I was running a little chief electric smoker for over ten years.

I used it when I killed deer to make Jerky, and in the past twelve months I've been smoking a lot of salmon, and some lake trout.

What do you all like to smoke? Favorite recipes?

I'm done with electric smokers indefinitely. Not enough heat, slow to smoke, and the wire was finnicky after a few years.

I got the Cajun Injector Vertical Smoker for 100.99$ at cabelas in the bargain cave, marked down to 140 and I haggled it down to 100.99. Originally 200, so I made out okay. The box was damaged.

Anyone used Caldwells Lead Sled Solo or the Deadshot field pod

NEO Hunter — Fri, 24 May 2013 02:56:42 GMT

The shooting rest I have won't work with AR's. Has anyone used the Lead Sled Solo or the Deadshot Field Pod. I know the Deadshot is designed to be used for more field use vs sighting in but I wondered if it was stable enough for sighting in and then I can use it in the field as well. With the cost of ammo right now I don't want to shoot more than needed to zero, so I figured a good rest is worth the investment. Any other suggestions are appreciated as well. Thanks

Why the irs went after the tea party instead of establishment republicans

zeke501 — Fri, 24 May 2013 02:29:28 GMT

Since 2006, with the beginnings of the breakaway of populist conservatives from the national Republican Party via the Tea Party movement, the GOP has been trying to figure out how to co-opt and capture it once again, just as George W. Bush did with many elements of the conservative movement in the early years of the 21st century.
But with the unofficial (and official) rise of the Tea Party movement, this development has struck fear in the Washington establishment because it represents an intellectual challenge to the anti-intellectual status quo of the Democrats and the Big Government Republicans.

IRS replaces official in tea party controversy

IRS replaces official in tea party controversy

Quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) � Moving quickly to stem a raging controversy, the new acting head of the Internal Revenue Service started cleaning house Thursday by replacing the supervisor who oversaw agents involved in targeting tea party groups.

A day after she refused to answer questions at a congressional hearing, Lois Lerner was placed on administrative leave, according to congressional sources.

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, a senior Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said Lerner was asked to resign but refused, so she was placed on leave. An IRS spokeswoman said the agency could not comment on Lerner's status because it was a private personnel matter.

http://news.yahoo.com/irs-replaces-o...223044834.html

Still on payroll.

She needs to be called back to congress and locked up till she talks.
