Wow... this thread smells. Handgun self-defense loads - High Drag Low Speed /done

Simply not true. The Glock 19 has seen a lot of use in Iraq among the contractors. Further it is the most ubiquitous 9mm police sidearm around the globe, at least according to Glock's own marketing propaganda ... which in this case I would tend to believe. As for the finger grooves, those are sadly an answer to a question that only Glock seemed to have heard anyone ask. I understand the reason why they are there, I just do not believe that they were truly necessary.

Yep... I see the love is still flowing back and forth in the thread. I'm going to need some coffee.

True story.

I don't mind disabling it entirely if folks here aren't using it.

I live too close to work and my vehicle practically ruins my ability to call in for snow. I didn't really think either of those decisions through.

Jesus... I leave for a few hours and my name's getting thrown around like Jamie's fist, and Guy Ina Speedo is running around talking about shooting me. Does that qualify as intent? I'll have to revisit all of this tomorrow after I've had a few hours to sleep off all of the badassery I've committed today.

Thank you for your permission to continue doing what I believe is best for the forum.

This is a banner day because I get to tell not one but two people that they are an idiot. And in this case, you're an idiot. I never said that I didn't care or didn't think such a thing could happen. You're just itching to jump to a conclusion and make an assumption based off of the fact that you really want to argue with me. The nonsense you post on TGO is about half an ounce more valuable than the drivel posted by other trolls looking for reactions. Surely there are venues more accepting of the excrement you're shoveling.

I can delete your account if you'd rather that course of action. Strel gets enough crap when he's actually being an idiot. There's no sense dicking up a thread where he's actually being somewhat... normal.

There but by the grace of God go you.

I have zero delusions about this. In a self-defense shooting you have a very good chance of getting hurt yourself as well by acting. But there are worse fates.

As I've said before, and has been pounded into my head by people smarter and better at this than me, a moving target is harder to hit than the guy standing there doing nothing. Introducing movement screws up the other guy's OODA Loop and gives you precious seconds that might allow you to draw your gun and bring not only equilibrium to the situation but potentially sway it into your favor. WWPO'HD??? Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge! The five D's of dodgeball... words to live by. Move your ass!

Dude. You're making me want to sponsor a TGO force-on-force simmunitions class sometime soon just so that I can light you up and put a rest to some of the oddball ideas you have.

Hey... I'm a broke-ass, small SUV driving, gun loving, small house owning moderate conservative... so I'm middle of the road enough that by your logic I should almost agree with you on things. It would seem, therefore, that it's not as much about demographics as it is about geography. As in where your head's at.

Sorry, you must have taken my comment that you are an idiot as a personal attack. It's not and I don't have anything personal invested in the remark. It is just a common sense assessment of your mindset based off of a historical account of pretty much everything you've ever said on TGO from the first moment you posted until now. You seem to be well educated but lacking in any common sense, which is fairly common of many of the folks I've met from European countries so I don't fault you for it as much as I fault your environment and up-bringing. I realize full well that it's too late to change you, so I honestly think that you should to wear a sign identifying you as an idiot so as to spare other people the frustration of having to figure this out on their own. In this way, everyone will be happier. Rational people will discount your operation at obtuse angles to reality as the actions of a person who has no f-king clue, and you won't have to argue your point with them because they simply won't care. Win-Win? I think so.

You're an idiot.

Well this is some introduction! You must be feeling MIGHTY special! Well alright, SPECIAL GUY... let's hear something! (Just making him feel at home. )

As was stated previously in the thread, M&P rear sights are not pressed in very tightly. Loosen the set screw using a hex wrench and then ever so slightly tap the sight to one direction or another using an item that won't mar or damage the finish on the gun. Then re-tighten the sight. Honestly I do agree with Mike that it most likely is not the sights on the gun based on your description of the problem. HOWEVER... my wife has an M&P 9 "JG" (pink grips, cancer ribbon, etc.) that has an upgraded sight package and it shoots about 4" low center at 10ft every time you pull the trigger. It's not her, it's the gun. Several of us have shot it and it does the exact same every single time. Consequently I will be sending it back to Smith & Wesson to have them remedy the situation. So, there's a chance it might not be you but the gun as well, however I'd have several other people shoot it first -- preferably people who are familiar with and good shots with the M&P -- before making adjustments to the gun that might be just band aiding a problem you're having with manipulating the trigger. Good luck.

This.

It just wasn't made very tactfully.

Yes you did. I'm not sure what the hell happened with this as it should have been automatic. Of course, we did have some difficulties with that transaction because your bank as I'm sure you remember. I'll update the account manually.

This.

Sort of an HK P30 meets Glock...

It looks like I'm going to be busy on March 8th... YouTube - Homefront - Occupation Trailer HOMEFRONT
