I know right! :) 

My understanding is that it is very hard to get a mechanism with that action that can handle normal knife stress. So, the $250 range is considered the affordable range for an OTF. Get lower and you can pick those up in the novelty shops in Gatlinburg pretty cheap :).Seems to be all or nothing for OTF knives from what I've seen.

They aren't our of spec per say. Anderson uses a special anti friction coating and it is a bit thicker than standard anodizing. You may even find that the upper is rather fitting especially the rear tab. Once you wear down the coating in those areas it'll fit more like normal. Kinda like it starting tight as posed to loose.

A non-vote is tabulated by the counter as a no vote. It is not registered as a "non-vote". Thus a non vote is automatically a no vote. He wasn't making a subjective equivalence statement. It was an objective statement of procedure.

They can be tight because the finish Anderson uses is a bit thicker than anodizing alone. It will loosen up a bit as it wears.

I guess I should have added that while I am a 9mm guy, I carry a .38 snub revolver. Ideal is a 9mm revolver![emoji6]

9mm is a better round than .38spl. People like to compare the because they are the same diameter, but there really isn't a comparison in standard loads.

Love hi-powers. My first gun was a FEG HJK-9HP. Nearly identical clone of a Browning/FN for a lot less. Great shooter and if you come by one for around 300 you can't go wrong. I've had my share of Browning s and FN's and I always felt bad shooting them and carrying them because they were too nice. The FEG our Argentinean copies solve that issue and are functionally great.

Yep, have one of the best warranties that don't exist!

I thought in TN the attorney General appoints judges (at least sc) without oversight. My understanding was that this amendment gives us more control because the legislature can check appointees, much like in the federal level.

She was a great friend of my wife and kids. Rocked my kids, especially my youngest, many times in the nursery. Great, great lady. She will be missed.

I used the Levang on the MSAR's I had because they were so loud. Really helped get the sound down range. Kinda worked like a reverse suppressor :). Made the recoil a little more pronounced but it was linear and had very little muzzle rise or twist. Really liked them in that application. That being said I tried a knockoff on an AR and didn't like it at all. However, I think that had more to do with the poor design of the knockoff than the principle of a linear comp. The KX3 is an expensive version of the Krink booster and those do work well. They aren't so much linear comps as they are mini cans.

A lot of P99 holsters will fit the PPQ. Can't beat the Garrett Holsters. Pricey, but the only holster I've had that I couldn't find something I disliked about it. http://www.giholsters.com/belt-holsters-owb/

Good choice on the damage brake. Great brake at a better price. The SLR is slightly shorter IIRC.

Actually like the saiga forearm in that. It'd look good and function better with a Manticore Nightbrake or a SLR brake http://slrrifleworks.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=94&product_id=57

So, I was right all along Mr. Rightwinger! =-O

Yes, They are much louder with the shorter barrel as well as a lot more flash.

Well I don't know much about the AR side of it but in the AK the barrel length is relatively irrelevant. You get nearly the same ballistics at useful ranges no matter what barrel length as long as you stay with the x39. That being said I prefer nothing shorter than 10". Main reason is getting useful furniture below that length is a custom made project. There are a variety now of furniture, gas tubes, sights,ect that are designed around the "krink" and AKM (Draco/AK).   I personally don't care for 5.56 or 5.45 in the shorter lengths because it really affects the ballistics once you get below 14" or so.  

I've done it with by holding it between my knees as a vise using towels as pads and by standing on it and tightening it. Both of which I do not recommend unless you just have to have it done now. ;) Find a vice and do it right. 

I'm not a fan of the mini's but that looks really nice. BTW - never buy anything direct from ACE. Carolina Shooters Supply, Bonesteel, and CNC Warrior are the only places I buy from anymore.

Pops us right. The black finish us not the Tennifer. Tennifer is a salt nitride bath that impregnated the steel down below the surface. Even if you took all the black finish off the Tennifer world remain. Unless you actually remove metal down to an unsafe level you wouldn't effect the Tennifer. Cerakoting a Glock our any other Tennifer/Melonited gun simply adds an improved finish (over factory finish) to the treated components. BTW -Tennifer/Melonite has no color.

I can't say enough good things about the PPQ. Same size as the G19 with far better ergonomics and the best trigger in a DA striker fired gun I've ever felt. Even with other guns trigger jobs the PPQ is better IMO.   As far as carry, the love I have for the PPQ has me looking at the Walther CCP. The CCP employs a recoil system much like the P7. 

I think your spell check changed "reliable" to "rattle". Silly computers. ;)

Here the AR guys go trying to make their AR's like an AK again! Looks like a Saiga!  :rofl:

The true genius of Obama is that here many of his opponents sit still blaming, vilifying, and analyzing Bush as the source of all Obama's faults. He just may actually be the devil incarnate ;-) Every president inherits a unique world and I don't hold them responsible for what they inherit. However, they should be responsible for the decisions they make in response to that world.
