  1. I've had a couple Walther P99QA's, several Glock's, XD's, and currently carry my second M&P9. The QA trigger is rather heavy and long compared to the M&P. The reset is also noticeably different longer. The QA is more a true DA feel where the M&P/Glock is more single action feeling. This is probably the reason it was much easier to shoot the Glock's. There are some spring changes you can do to the 99QA, but you usually end up having light primer strike issues. There is also no way to fix the reset. While I really like the Walther P99 series, it is a European gun made with a Euro trigger. I will say that the Walther versions are MUCH smoother than the S&W 99's. I know they are supposed to be the same, but they are not. Also, getting a few hundred round through the gun will greatly improve the trigger. They need a lot of shooting to smooth out to their best potential. As far as gunsmith work on the 99, good luck. The linkage is fairly complex and I don't know of any who will work on it or can work on it.
  2. I like flashlights, but WOW you guys got a LOT of money in those things! I've gotten into building my own with dealextreme stuff. Same guts as those higher ends, but I can make what i want and not spend a fortune. I've had good luck with them. I've got several of these. Not flashy, but they work as well as any Surefire I've ever seen.
  3. wouldn't be a very even split. . Besides, it would give us a chance to fix Kali, NY, and Illinois all at once.
  4. I have notice that when I resize my browser that pictures tend to stay a certain size and overflow out of the window.
  5. It is clearer than ever why our forefathers thought only land owning head of households should vote. How different a country we'd be.

    I really like that show. However it got a little weird when the episodes turned into mini-series type things.
  7. I think the poll over simplifies the scenario, but keeping that in mind ... I'm going #1 That is the assumption BG+gun is clear and the situation is clear, which would in that case automatically include #2 .... other wise maybe #3.
  8. I like it. It takes a minute to adjust to, but it is very easy to read.
  9. I would be willing to bet that he won't sign because he knows Mexico will defend him against the death penalty. We already know they won't extradite unless the death penalty is off the boards.

    M1A Bullpup!

    Interesting. Care to say where you worked? Not trying to be nosy, just interested. Other than the price the only thing that really raised my eyebrows was the neoprene bedding. Can that handle barrel heat buildup and wouldn't that be a little too flexible?

    Maybe, if you don't factor in the cost of the machine, labor, bulk raw material, facilities, distribution and shipping, ect.
  12. so when is the absent mom going to be on the news crying about how her baby girl (AKA - aggravated assault, grand theft auto, assaulting a PO, resisting arrest,....) was abused by the evil racist police? Just sayin.
  13. Looks like the HOURS I spent at that location and on the phone with their their legal department made a difference. Glad it worked for you. I found the clerks were generally helpful, but my first couple visits I think "gun scare" affected them. The last few times they were more business as usual. Thankfully DHL is dead for domestic purposes. DO NOT USE!
  14. That should probably answer the question of why to carry at church.
  15. Nah, you're right. He should have just left when they resisted and apologized on his way out. That would have definitely made the situation better. BTW next time I get a pulled over for speeding I'm just gonna run around the car till the LE gives up chasing and I'm gonna have a recording going so that if he lays hands on me I can sue for all the cities worth. After all it's only a speeding ticket.

    Website says an 18" barrel would have an overall length of 26.5"! Very cool! Cost is $1275 but comes with bi-pod, VG, PG, and tools.

    This looks sweet! Home
  18. After watching the full 9 min. I support the LEO even more. What I just can't get over is the attitude and thought process of the crowd, video guy, and perps. They cry foul at the LEO response becasue they escalated a situation out of any normal decency. Kind like the burglar who sues when the home owner shoots him. just amazing .... and sad. BTW - what little I know in single detainment is stay mobile and on your feet. You only go to the ground if there is backup to cover you. If I were the LEO I'd be pissed it took so long for backup to get there. Would have solved soooooo many problems. However, I do admire him for not running just becasue he was alone. Makes a much better societal impact that way.
  19. Ah, the Glock before it was Glock.
  20. I find it interesting all the "good Samaritans" standing around questioning why the officer was "beating" on them. Why were they not asking why the girls were fighting with a PO? So backwards.
  21. The Liberator.
  22. I've tried that and even went so far to get the corporate legal consultant and basically they will back up the counter person every time. i was told that ultimately the counter person has the right to deny any shipment and will be supported by the company. I did get them to admit that they were inconsistent and that their policies were not inline with Federal law, but it made no difference. I will say they were very nice, sympathetic, and understanding so i can't really complain as far as that goes. I know just comply with Federal law and ignore their policies.
  23. Believe it or not, church's have a fairly large amount of attempted robberies. Lots of auto theft etc, Idiots who think church's don't use banks and are soft targets, audio visual equipment being stolen, people who are just off, copper theft. I could go on about the number of threats I have received (12 yrs of ministry) from husbands and boyfriends who didn't like the idea their families were being counciled and helped. I've been threatened by homeless folks and one mass murderer who we had previously helped. I could go on, but justification is irrelevant. Churchs are no different than any other place. If you think God puts a anti-bad things forcefield around church's you are mistaken. They are more like a magnet. Why do you think the pope has his own standing army
  24. Yes, but i think Mississippi and Arkansas it is not. Don't know about the other surrounding states.
  25. None in Nashville will and since they can't ship it overnight in state (most cases) they refuse. I've shipped "machined parts" in one package dissembled and the firing pin separate. I know it's borderline, but it gets it done.
