Nope. I've never seen any that will do this. It's all in the technique. There are many videos on youtube showing you how to use the fresh mag to hit the mag release lever and then sweep the old one out in one motion. Most also give tips on quick ways to then activate the charging handle. There is absolutely no reason to sell your AK for the mag change difficulty you are experiencing. Practice, practice, practice.

They did nice work on my car back in early 2000. You usually see a ton of BMW's and other high end vehicles being repaired. Vogely & Todd, Inc.

Another good report. Glad to hear you're getting good help. It's hard to remember all the things that become second nature after you've been around guns a long time. Your past several reports have helped me to remember that when deal with someone new. One additional gun rule to add to your list...be sure of your target and what is beyond it. Good luck, have fun, and stay safe.

IMO I wouldn't worry that much about getting grips to cover the backstrap since it really hurts concealment. Yes it does help with the recoil but as we all know a snub isn't a range gun. You shoot it enough to stay proficient. I use wood grips on mine and over time I've gotten tolerant to the felt recoil, and in an emergency situation it's probably not going to be an issue. For reference the picture below shows the factory boot grips compared to Pachmayr Compac grips that do cover the back strap. My wife used to have them on her 642 but went back to the factory grips since the Pachmayr grips made it hard to conceal.

I'd get a Saiga and convert it. Not hard to do and you end up with a Russian built gun made with new parts instead of one put together from kit parts. There is a ton of info on the web showing you how to convert it and also comply with the 922r regulations. The Saiga 12 forum is one of the best on the subject. Scroll down past the shotgun info and you will see the AK info, etc. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?act=idx

Congrats. What's the details of what you loaded (caliber, powder, and bullet, etc)? I started reloading about 25+ years ago and still enjoy it.

So why does it only hold 6 rounds? To me that makes it lose some of its appeal. No more firepower than a revolver but it does look more menacing.

Wood burning set. yee ha.

I'm using the fluid width cause I like the seeing the 1911 slide expand out to about 16" long.

I would suggest using Skype. It's free as long as you do PC to PC. PC to moble is charged. It's probably the one of, if not the largest, global chat programs. It's usually got around 20 million people online most of the time. In a group chat you can pull in 200 people. We use it at work to "talk" between others in our department. You can do video calls as well. A lot of folks use it for overseas communications. Seeing and talking to your loved one half way around the world is really nice and free!

I'm not saying no one has ever said that, but most everything I read is positive. I've got a couple of revolvers loaded up with it including my wife's carry.

Be sure to check out the S&W M&P, either the full or compact size depending on your intended use.

So is this thing a handgun or a rifle? I was thinking it qualified as a rifle but since it's in the handgun section I wasn't sure. I didn't see the OAL but wouldn't the stock, although it's short, kick it into the rifle category?

Sorry to hear that. Is there another position within the department that you would qualify for given your injury and would still enjoy doing?

Saw this posted in the comment section of a Yahoo article. DR. SEUSS FOR 2010 I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam. I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books. I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals. I do not like this speaker Nan, I do not like this 'YES WE CAN'. I do not like this spending spree, I'm smart, I know that nothings free, I do not like your smug replies, when I complain about your lies. I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it. nope, nope, nope!

I like the one by John "Lofty" Wiseman called SAS Survival Handbook, For Any Climate In Any Situation. He was in the British Army's Special Air Service. "Add" Belt Loops for Dual Carry (2) Saddle Brown - D.M. Bullard Leather Mfg.

Yes they are but I don't know if it's hit the streets yet. It has a built in laser. BODYGUARD 38 - Smith & Wesson As we all know snubs are not range guns. As Bassoneer said, you practice enough to be proficient with it. I've got a 642 and love it. When I practice I usually run through at least 50 rounds and the recoil doesn't bother me and I've even got wood grips. (Which is really nice for pocket carry since it doesn't snag or "stick" on anything coming out of the pocket. See below) I continue to hear good things about the LCR. I haven't shot it but have dry fired it. Yes, it does have a smoother trigger but again since it's not a range gun, I don't see that in an emergency that's going to matter a whole lot IMO. More than likely the rounds are going to be fired very quickly at close range and that's how I practice. I'm able to easily keep a tight pattern and that's all that matters. Yes, a smoother trigger does help with shot placement. You should try the LCR vs. the S&W at a range side by side to see which one you prefer. As others have said, you will have less recoil and a smoother trigger with the LCR. As I mentioned I've never shot an LCR and if I do, I will probably say, "nice gun" to the owner but continue to carry my 642. I agree with what some people say about polymer vs. "steel" firearms, polymer is just tool to get the job done, "steel" becomes a part of you till you die and gets passed on to the next generation. In closing, to me, revolvers should be "steel" just like a 1911. Good luck whichever way you go.

That helps explain some of the people I work with.

I went back and ran some calculations to figure out some pressures you might be able to generate. Assuming you had the following 10’ elevated tank (amount of water in the tank doesn’t matter) 2†ID pipe Height x 0.43 x area of pipe = pressure 10 x 0.43 x 3.1416 x 1" squared = 13.5 psi You probably need at least 50psi for household pressure. Given you will be limited on how high you can go and the pipe dia you can use as a typical homeowner, you can maybe get the following. 15’ elevated tank 4†ID pipe 15 x 0.43 x 3.1416 x 2" squared = 81psi As a reminder then you have to start figuring in line losses etc. Another problem I see if you can get past the pressure, is the supply volume and peak demand. Expanding on my comments on the public utility tower last night, the public utility uses pumps to supply most of the water usage load and pressure. The tower is there to help in peak demand times to supplement the pump. I found the better explanation on a website. A water tower's tank is normally quite large. A normal in-ground swimming pool in someone's backyard might hold something like 20,000 or 30,000 gallons (that's a lot of water!), and a typical water tower might hold 50 times that amount! Typically, a water tower's tank is sized to hold about a day's worth of water for the community served by the tower. If the pumps fail (for example, during a power failure), the water tower holds enough water to keep things flowing for about a day. One of the big advantages of a water tower is that it lets a municipality size its pumps for average rather than peak demand. That can save a community a lot of money. Say that the water consumption for a pumping station averages 500 gallons of water per minute (or 720,000 gallons over the course of a day). There will be times during the day when water consumption is much greater than 500 gallons per minute. For example, in the morning, lots of people wake up at about the same time (say 7:00 a.m.) to go to work. They go to the bathroom, take a shower, brush their teeth, etc. Water demand might peak at 2,000 gallons per minute at 7 a.m. -- there is a big cost difference between a 500-gallon-per-minute pump and a 2,000-gallon-per-minute pump. Because of the water tower, the municipality can purchase a 500-gallon-per-minute pump and let the water tower handle the peak demand. At night, when demand normally falls to practically zero, the pump can make up the difference and refill the water tower. Let me know some more details and I’ll see if I can help.

I'm confused about your real end goal. Please clarify. Are you looking to still have water when there is no wind? Or Are you looking for a gravity system to provide water with no power source (either wind or electric)? I haven't ran any calculations but it is doubtful you will be able to have enough pressure from just gravity using the elevation alone. A couple of things to remember; if you're talking about wanting to tie into your house plumbing, it will even be harder to have enough pressure just from gravity due to the extra line restrictions. you may not have enough pressure generated by the windmill pump to get the water into a highly elevated tank. the large utility storage tanks still have to have pumps to help push the water into the public water system. (It's not gravity pressue alone.) I'm thinking your best bet is to add an electric pump in parallel to the windmill pump to supply the water. You can wire the electric pump to kick in when there is no output from the windmill pump. It's best to keep the water below ground to keep it from getting hot or frozen depending on the season.

and I thought the slide was big.

Very nice indeed!!! What's your plans on the Eotech? Are you planning on mounting it on an angle for short work and leave the scope for long range?

Well done comrade.

I can't believe this is even a poll...I still to this day remember saying the Pledge in K-garden every morning.
