Natosha, I was actually very impressed with the Blackhawk SERPA holsters that I saw in use at a class I took this past weekend. Purely from a weapon retention standpoint I think they offer a very secure way to keep your Glock yours while providing an intuitive way to release it on the draw. Since it sounds like you are going to use a cover garment of some sort (loose overshirt, etc.) this may be a good option for you.

He was this guy... liked dogs... got banned from a dog forum once.

Dan, I'd like to "speak for one" but let me clear it with the boss first.

It's no different than when Voldemort asked about HCP classes in Spanish and {cough} people {/cough} blasted him for asking it and turned it into a debate on illegal immigration. Knowhutamean?

I'm toying with the idea of buying a stripped AR lower receiver to send out and have engraved per "Form 4" to be used as the foundation of a short barrel rifle. If you wanted a quality lower receiver that would present no fuss due to crappy tolerances when the time came to assemble your rifle, what brand would you choose? Thanks.

And I didn't say that he was being a dick. I posed that you might ask a question and then complain about the answers if being a dick made you happy.

It was humor. You're reading too much into it.

It's custodies and what are you implying? I didn't call anyone a dick. I just presented a hypothesis.

I think we need Terry Tate: Forum Linebacker to keep fools in check.

Honestly the only times I hear "vegas" added to anything, the town has a name ending in "ville". To me it seems pretty obvious that it is a tongue in cheek, sarcastic way of mocking the town in question. Tomorrow I'm going to start a thread asking why some people add the suffix "-inator" to people's names. Like Mikenator. Rabbiinator. Marsinator. Stay tuned!!!

Yep. Depending on the web browser you are using (works with MS IE7, Firefox, Safari, etc.) you will see a background in the top menu of the forum. Like that.

This is very handy information. Thanks for the link; I may have to put that to use sometime soon.

If you can pull off buying both a 1911 and a P220... the choice is obvious. Good luck with your endeavor! You really can't go wrong with either platform.

It's wrong to ask a question of the public at large and not want to listen to the responses. Unless you just like being a dick to people.

How's the fishing there?

That's the stupidest complaint I have heard this morning. The random banners are absolutely no comparison to the photo gallery. When you figure out how to upload your pictures into the random banner rotation, I'll take another look at your complaint.

I call it Nashtropolis just to **** with Mike. Seriously.

Cool. I kind of doubt it was, though. The extractor claw looked a little handicapped and we've tried several types of ammo in the past. Not ruling it out entirely, but I'm hoping that this fixed it.

If you need your screen name edited, I can do that for you. Welcome!

Heh... this is rather ironic. I was just working on our 10/22 tonight installing a buffer pin and a Volquartsen extractor and increased power extractor spring. Hopefully these things will solve the jamming problem it was having. Guess we'll see this weekend.

Well these aren't pulling from the gallery. I had to create a few files and load them into an array for this to happen. So don't worry about suddenly having a 1920 x 1200 pixel picture of Rabbi up there.

WTF are you talking about?

True that any mag can be made to fail with the right amount of crap shoved into it. Not entirely true that Glock mags are metal coated with plastic. They are made of the the same polymer as the gun's frame but have metal reinforcements to keep them from flexing and give rigidity to the feed lips. It's not uncommon to see Glock mags spill their guts if loaded full and then dropped onto a hard concrete floor. The baseplates can pop off and send rounds, follower and spring in all directions. Strong recoil spring and stable follower design are key factors in having mags that function properly in adverse conditions.

To be fair, the XD itself was cycling fine. It was the follower in the magazine that was a problem. It became stuck in the magazine tube itself and as rounds were stripped off the top, the follower wasn't moving with them so the remaining rounds became a jumbled mess inside the magazine. Stronger magazine springs might remedy the situation, but these mags were virtually brand new and still had very stiff springs.
