How can that be? Everything I've seen says 9mm maxes out velocity wise around 10"-11". After that the gain is negligible and starts scrubbing speed around 16" and up. Even thought I read in another thread that at 10+", a factory subsonic load will go super sonic(?) One reason I went with a 10.5"

He's called the Mad Drummer and plays in a super wedding band. Just look up Mad Drummer. Worth the time.

So far, 25 yrds. It's more of a super fast illuminated iron sight as opposed to an optic, which is exactly what I wanted. I can rapid fire accurately with this far better than I can iron sights, and I don't lose my peripheral vision like with iron sights.

Wayne, just let me know if you want to take it out and run some rounds through it. You'll end up with one.

Buffer tubes on AKs make an SBR ATF rules

Oooh! Got it built out of all the Black Friday specials! Put together for under $600 as well! Had to tweak the mag lips on the ACS mags. The right side of the mag lips were too tall and the rim extended too far into the mag body for my setup. After filing them down, they all worked great. Looking at the Metalform mags, I don't think they would have that issue on this build. Ran a bunch of rounds through it today and all I can say is WOW! What a fun gun. Picked up a See All sight and it works great for this gun. I had used one in the past on a shotgun and liked the idea, and for this gun it was a great fit. I could do without the banner on the side, but it's a small issue. Very tame recoil, accurate, light, fun, and it's a pistol. BTW - the Sig brace was very comfortable on my arm ;) Tactical Ambush 10.5" Barrel and NiB Bolt, UTG Slim Pro 9" HG, Delware Ind. Lower, New Frontier slick side billet upper, RRA 9mm buffer and spring, Spikes mag block, Spikes buffer spacer, & Ebay FH

Another good option to the Hi-Power - if you come across an FEG PJK-9HP snatch it up. You can usually find them under $400 and they are Hungarian clones of the HP and in some cases are a bit better. Not as polished but nearly every part is interchangeable with the HP.
-
Hi-power all the way. The CZ is patterned after the hi-power, so there is a lot going for it in that regard. Even the cz clones are excellent choices for less money. Kinda like a Rock Island 1911 compared to a colt. IMO - the 92 is a huge step in another direction ... Away from the good ergonomics, trigger, and adjustability of the HP and CZ's. Kinda like comparing a Pontiac Fiero to a Ferrari.

Where to buy muzzle crush/peel washer locally?

New York Church Taking Walmart To Court Over Gun Sales
Smith replied to The Legion's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
For the same reason they don't quit selling all music and videos. There are books they don't carry but they don't quite carrying all books. They sell clothes that some drug dealers wear but they don't quite selling clothes. They sell food that wife abusers, child molesters, killers, and all sorts of vermin probably eat, but they haven't stopped selling food. The "rational logic" some people use is beyond my level evidently. -
I wish people would quit with this commonly espoused opinion. If it were true then we would be losing ground. The incredible leaps forward we that have been made in the recent past tells an entirely different story. That being said, there's always some idiots on every side of an issue. Dismiss them and let their own stupidity deal with them.

Scope Test - High end - Head to Head testing.
Smith replied to crashgordan's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Here's a complimentary blog from the same place about what actual pro's use in competition. http://precisionrifleblog.com/2014/10/24/best-tactical-scopes-what-the-pros-use/ -
Same reason people would pick a 6 cylinder over a 4 cylinder. Both will get you down the road, but there is a quantifiable difference between te two.

New Twist in the SIG Brace Debate

New Twist in the SIG Brace Debate
Smith replied to btq96r's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Why, I got my two to help me shoot the AR and PAP with one hand easier. On a side not when will they apply this to the AFG? What about the Thorsdon? That is designed to use the check as a support. Does your face alert it's use? -
New Twist in the SIG Brace Debate
Smith replied to btq96r's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
This is so poorly written and legally ambiguous that it is worthless. Now, when and if it is challenged the courts may allow them to rewrite the language using their guidance like they did with Obamacare. I'm just still amazed that after all this time, the ATF couldn't write a better thought out argument. -
Some fuel for the Costa haters... Japanese Airsoft show
Smith replied to TGO David's topic in Training Discussions
I liked his response, if not overly lengthy. I still think the issue is how serious he is taken by what equates to "fantasy camp warriors" on this side of the pond. People get overly serious about something that might be a one in a million situation and dedicate their lives to it. He's not teaching combat techniques to combat fighters, and it's nice to see that reality.. To see him be a normal goofy American, is in some ways a nice leveling. Training is great and skill proficiency is important, but perspective is probably the most neglected skill we develop. He makes bank teaching "fantasy camp" and good for him, but it shouldn't be a surprise when that realization is recognized. Think of it this way. Rocket scientists created the nuclear bomb and sent men to the moon using fundamental science. That doesn' mean that every high school science teacher is a rocket scientist. ;) -
This. The ACE hinge was the first and for a long time only option. The Stormwerkz is indeed a better option than the ACE.

But it was 10,000 rounds in very short period of time. ;)

He must have learned dialogue from Nutnfancy. Added a good 7 minutes of yapping to what was an otherwise great video.

No. Law Tactical makes the only hinge/buffer tube that works with an AR (that I know of).http://www.lawtactical.com/

Hardly and accurate comparison. More like an automatic drive and a standard drive. I love semi-autos, but there are some situations where a revolver is hard to beat. It's not an old verses new thing, It's more of a tool for the job thing.

It's hard to look this tactical with a revolver ;)
