  1. The scarring stuff is what really makes my skin crawl.

    There is a huge thread in the bullpup subforum at arf.com about it. Started as CD talking about their plans and has since developed into rumor mill central.

    RFB

    I've seen them, when available, for $1200-$1900 and a few idiots asking for more. That's the issue right now with the RFB. When one pops up it goes pretty fast.
  4. sounds like you're on the right track. I've had several XD9's and I really liked them. Carried them everyday when I had them. The bore axis just didn't work for me, but that is a personal preference issue. Other have no issue with it. good luck and look forward to hearing your comparison with the SR9c.
  5. I should add that pre-travel and creep affect accuracy in similar but different ways. The longer the pre-travel the more time you have to get off target. It also creates more movement while in the initial stages of firing the gun. Creep affects accuracy similarly but because you have to exert extra pressure it makes it more likely to move you off target. This is why people with DA triggers will "stage" their trigger when firing for accuracy. What that means is they pull the trigger and hold it until it is about to break, center their sights, and then finish the the pull with an immediate break.
  6. Pre-treavel/take-up is the amount of distance you have to pull the trigger before you feel resistance. Creep refers to the distance it takes for the trigger to break/fire after the pre-travel or resistance is felt. Ideally you want minimal pre-travel and no creep. Ideally when you pull the trigger it should "POP" immediately. Some describe it as a glass rod instantly snapping. Pressure, pop, reset.

    Yeah you are and poking at 6.8 at the same time! Nice try though. Maybe you should have a go at politics! BTW - It's all in good fun.

    I think you just made 6.8's point.

    You do know that there are documented cases of people surviving inside large fish and whales for more than one day, right? Just saying.

    Yep, they made a big deal about him wearing his bullet proof vest and never going outside because of how dangerous it was for him. I believe it was proven to be staged.
  12. Seriously guy. Prison is supposed to be a bad scary place you don't want to go. A lot of the things that are "allowed" to happen in prison are due to the fact that the country club mentality of the left have turned prisons into adult daycare's. You keep saying that prisons function is to separate convicts from society. That may be one aspect but not the only one and it is a bit naive description of prison. Jail is a much better suited to you definition. The other aspects are punishment, rehabilitation (obviously works ), and public safety. Personally rehabilitation, if any, should come after prison but that's another debate. Personally I find my kids respond better to correction when I'm not giving them candy and free TV when they're in timeout.
  13. Photoguy's wins it for me but, SHbicycle ..... what were you thinking?!!!!
  14. Not such a big deal with .45 because it is a low pressure round even in +p. However fully suported chambers become very important in .40, .357, and 9mm +p+. 40 S&W particularly. Those seem to be the ones with kabooms when they happen.
  15. I think he was being sarcastic due to the fact that the Obama admin keeps telling us that conservative TP are the real threat.
  16. Just surprised this is the first one I've heard of. The way they are villianized I won't be surprised to hear of more. Now where are those who defended the home protest not so long ago?
  17. Either the SR9 or XD, but not the P250. The P250 is rather bulky and the trigger, while smooth, is very long. I like the compactness, egos, and capacity of the SR9. It will also be much more enjoyable to shoot at the range, which means more practice time. It is very thin for carry and the triggers are much improved over the first release. The XDsc is a proven gun with a lot of aftermarket support (triggers, sights, holsters, etc) and is rock solid. It would be my first choice of the 3 a strictly EDC, although if you plan to shoot it a lot I prefer the benefits of a full-size like the SR9.
  18. I'm with you. I just don't see much there in that brief clip. He was out of line and handled it very poorly, but nothing outrageous or crazy. Of course others have set the crazy bar so incredibly high, it takes a lot these days. 20 years ago that would have been a crazy outburst. Today not so much.

    Kinda like the whole Polar bear issue. Never mind there are more now than ever before, we're just going to leave them on the endangered species list. Canada's growing polar bear population 'becoming a problem,' locals say

    Factually wrong, but it is the propaganda put out by the Sea Shepard organization. . Correct. It is not illegal. Of all people 2a and hunters should understand quota hunts, preservation and the misleading propaganda of leftist environmental wackos.

    They're eco-terrorist, liars, and pirates. The same bunch that spike trees in the northwest, beat park rangers, and bomb logging roads. Funny how some of you guys who are always whining about how you don't want others beliefs forced on anyone else are all the sudden fine with it as long as it's the Japanese. Those guys are idiots and I have no pity for whatever befalls them. I'm just surprised the Japanese have been so restrained.
  22. Don't know about their 100 rnd drum but their Glock and AR mags I've tried have been awesome. Keep in mind KCI is a government producer so their stuff is made for their military and their military is in an active war zone . Good stuff.

    RFB

    I really lkke those. After being spoiled with me STG556 I want me an RFB. All other long guns just feel awkwardly balanced now. The few folks around here really complaiined about the trigger but everywhere else I've read about them people really compliment it. Go figure.
