Huh? I'm not sure what you are asking here. Nobody is talking about a standard Glock 9 barrel shot in a Glock 9mm gun as being too thin. They are talking about using a standard Glock 9mm barrel in the Glock .40 caliber handgun, instead of using a 40-9 conversion barrel in order to shoot 9mm in the 40 weapon.

And... What is the difference between the edge of the chamber and the bottom of the feed ramp. Between the overall width at the rear of the chamber, and the overall height from the top of the barrel at the rear to the bottom of the lugs? What is the difference in the circumferences of the barrels. Small difference can make for huge divergences when you are talking about machinery. The tolerances here are not extreme, but they are significant. If you measure the radius at the end of the barrel you get the illusion the difference is smaller than it is. Yet the circumference will prove otherwise. Ever noticed the difference in a hat with a 2" and 2 1/2". At any given point you would say 1/2" is nothing, yet when looked at in its entirety the difference is obvious. We are also talking about several difference here, you can't simply point to one and say there's just a difference of this, does that matter.

Dangerous practice. Its not just about slop at the end of the barrel, it is also about other spacings within the gun. It may group just fine, but it doesn't provide proper support in a gun designed to feed so reliably because it already is on the edge of chamber support as are most striker fired guns made today. Just cause somethnig can be done, ie somebody has gotten away with it, doesn't mean it should be done.

LW I can tell one thing for nearly certain about a SD situation in your home. You would never hear that gun and you would never feel the recoil of the weapon. Adrenaline will narrow your field of vision, cut off most auditory responses and will also effect, in a negative way, your skills. I have experienced these situations several times in my life, but I will only illustrate the one easiest to relate. I have touched off 470 Nitro express and 500 caliber rifles hunting. I truly dreaded training with these rifles. Every shot was a mildly painful experience at best and quite painful in certain situations. However when used in the heat of the hunt I can never once recall hearing the rifle or feeling any recoil. People who are serious about SD should train in a manner, as often as possible, as to simulate adrenaline inducing situations. A force on force class should be in every person's yearly or every other year regimen, followed by continued training to keep up those skills. You will only react to the level to which you are competently proficient. You will not rise to the occasion. The gear you use should be the least of your worries. The biggest things to prepare for are your mindset, the tactics you have prepared yourself to use, the skills which you have become proficient with and practiced for and then you will be as prepared as you can. I recommend everyone read Jeff Cooper's Principles of Self Defense.

I am left handed and have gotten used to shooting so-called right handed guns left handed. I wouldn't know what to do with a left handed gun, pistol or rifle. In fact on some ambi guns I have had issues in hitting the slide release with my high hand hold. I find the slide release on that 1911 an answer to a question that isn't needed. It is way too long and in the end unnecessary. As was mentioned it also interferes in field stripping the weapon in the usual easy manner.

Really? Hmm. I've never even noticed them. Then again I am pretty focused when I go in gun shop and they probably carry a bunch of stuff I don't notice. I purposefully only glance. If I spent too much time looking I'd spend too much money as I would definitely find something I just have to have.

What is known is that the change was made by an attorney for the House. He made the change based on instruction from a legislator. He is not saying who the legislator is, invoking attorney client privilege. I am not sure that will fly as he could probably invoke the privilege of what was said, but not necessarily the identity of that person. But that is an argument for another day. Paul Summers has refused to make comment on that. The change was likely made during a suspension of the rules. The suspension of rules is very common, but it is also a time when legislators have watch out for strange things appearing on their legislation. In other words a legislator better read their bill well before the final reading on the floor.

I honestly don't think you would find a better deal than online. The only gun shop I have ever seen one in was one in Tullahoma and they aren't in business anymore. I don't remember ever seeing one at a gun show, though I am sure there must be once in a while. I do know they come up fairly regularly in the classified section here. Also they are often in the class section on Glocktalk.

Good god. What is the world comin' to. A hippy with a gun.

I had very little knowledge of these until a couple of months back. They are pretty neat. A man I knew brought one out to play with a bit, when we were shooting the Gatlin Gun, which is fun itself. He told us all about it, though half of it I can't even remember now. So let me correct myself. I still know very little about them, but more than I knew a few months ago.

I'll post a pic of these EBR's. The AK is mostly done, however I will be changing out the forend with a rail for mounting a red dot. They are so much easier to acquire quickly. The AKM was originally a Chicom NHM 91, that had the barrel chopped down and a permanent flash hider attached. It is now just over 16" OAL. The stock and grip are KVAR, replacing the original thumbhole stock. Jim Fuller at Rifle Dynamics did the barrel chop, flash hider and complete reworking of the internal trigger components. He then parkerized the rifle. He also did his rear sight job, opening up the rear sight to allow for easier use. The MAK is IMO one of the finest AK style rifles ever made. It runs and runs. I bought it 15-17 years ago for around $200. So for me the reworking of it was an investment. His work is so well thought of I wouldn't have a problem getting rid of it in a minute to a professional operator. In fact I have already had offers on it. I plan to keep it though as I think it is a solid piece of kit. The AR is a Daniel Defense DDM4. It is simply put as rugged an AR as is built today. If you want to see what a DDm4 with an Aimpoint will withstand in a torture test, look up Vickers attempt to kill one on YouTube. I love that rifle.

He was the head of something some such at some irrelevant school I've never even heard of.

So do you only drive one vehicle? Do you ever drive a vehicle registered in someone else's name? Does anyone else drive your vehicle, who isn't an HCP holder? Do some HCP holders drive company vehicles?

The bill was sent to committee. That is where it remained. The legislature is sine die for the year 2011.

What makes you think they don't shoot them? Unless for some reason they are not in a condition to stand shooting, most collectors shoot their weapons. Even historical ones. Just a few weeks ago I was shooting a Gatling gun owned by Teddy Roosevelt. Several hundred rounds went through it that day. Most collectors I know specialize in a particular make or style of firearm. At least for the majority of their collection. The pickiest ones will also seek to include in that collection number 1 serialed models and new in box never fired. They in general won't shoot those. But for the most part any gun they buy that was used, continues to get used. I shoot in some vintager events with guys who have 90-100+ year old damascus barreled shotguns. Many worth tens of thousands of dollars, some 6 figures. They shoot somewhat light loads, but they shoot them all day long.

I'm sorry I wasn't much help, if you had already figured that much out. I am not a computer techno guy. As long as things go the way they are supposed to I am good. If they don't I become pretty useless. i don't think you have to be a benefactor to post pics. I am pretty sure of that. Maybe a mod of computer techno can point you the right path.

You have to download the pics to a photo hosting website like photobucket, there are others. Then copy and paste the picture's direct page link to the Insert Image button when you push that, seen at the top when you are in reply mode. Next to video link and all of the others where font selection and other buttons are.

I really like the slim profile of the Alumagrips on my 1911. Other than that I don't really care. My Glocks have...well, Glock grips, I would never slide anything over them. Most of the rest of my pistols have the grips that came on them. For some reason I have Pachmyer grips on my Beretta 92. I don't like them as they are too bulky. At some point I will change them back to the original. I do like that Beretta as it is an Italian Beretta. But, I don't shoot it but once a year if that. I will say I am not big on the extremely aggressive grips, but could see why a competitive shooter would like them.

I really like the Hi-Power. Great trigger. But they constantly bit me. My only real complaint about them.

I believe that is what he said. The handle is an accessory that is offered through another manufacturer. I believe you could use any standard carry handle. The Mug itself, which is what he is having made and he designed, is 100% made in the USA. He can't say the same about any accessory you add to the mug. Some want a hanlde and some don't care. I'm sure some have one laying around, that came with a rifle, they don't use.

The Gen4 19 has had some issues. Very few Glocks have any history of issues. All makes have issues from time to time, especially with new models. The failure rate of the Gen4 19 is still well below the problems rate of many, many manufacturers' guns, especially in first runs. It is only news because there have been more issues with this model than at any time in the past and Glockophiles historically hate any model changes until several years into them. Then they buy that model and swear Glock should never change again. In truth though again, most manufacturers would still be envious of the failure rate, or lack thereof, of their models even the new ones.

I think you got a good deal. If you carry and find you don't conceal it as well as the GLock, my experience, then just buy another Glock. By the way I can almost guarantee you it isn't a Crossbreed. It looks like an MTAC to me. Is there a leather patch of padding on the back? Either way, nice holster. I prefer the strikerfire pistols to the DA/SA, but as I stated I carried a 228 for a long time and the gun was very reliable, durable and accurate. Make sure to wipe the gun down once a week with a moisture barrier after carrying it. The finish on the Sig is not as durable as the tennifer finish on the Glock. But I find a holster worn pistol to look good.

Good AAR. It's nice to have a great rifle. It's even more satisfying to be able to fight with that great rifle.

A couple of years ago after switching carry guns I searched for several months and shot numerous makes and calibers. I have guns in 9, 40and 45. I just kept coming back to the 9. I have put more 9 and 45 down range than anything else, and am most comfortable with the 9. I like and enjoy training with it. I did not like training with the 40. After one 3 day period of a training course shooting about 1k rounds, I decided I just could not grown to like the 40. It is cheaper and I shoot it as well as I do anything. The 9 defense loads are sufficient and I trust them as well as I trust any defensive pistol round. Make your change and train with it and enjoy your gun.

Does he have the original barrel? I carried a 228 for a number of years. It served me well. Was dependable and accurate. I just was never enamored of the DA/SA trigger. There aren't going to be any more German 228's as far as we know. Good guns. Just a matter of your priorities.
