Discover Card to Begin Tracking Gun Purchases in April!
deerslayer replied to The Legion's topic in General Chat
...or control how many guns you can buy, who is buying too much gasoline, or who is hoarding up more money than is allowed. Sounds like something from George Orwell, but there are politicians in office today who would do this tomorrow if they could get away with it. -
Discontinued. The full size DWX is finally out there and I wouldn't be surprised if the compact is not far behind.
-
The only guns I regret selling are a Norinco MAK90 and an HK P7. Wish I could have those back.

One of the accused shooters got a $25,000 bond today. I don't think things are improving around here. https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/man-charged-with-mass-shooting-at-whitehaven-club-given-25k-bond/article_2df1f818-b3aa-11ed-816a-37bc94b1a5e3.html

Memphis PD Chief Davis Previously Fired for Coverup

Maybe not. The county is going to hire a babysitter for Halbert and pay him/her $150,000 to do Halbert's job. https://www.actionnews5.com/2023/02/23/special-advisor-assist-develop-solutions-shelby-county-clerks-office/ Meanwhile, the county commission is considering a proposal to use $5 million of covid funds to pay for a reparations study. Someday I will leave Shelby County. -
What did Walther improve over the PPQ? I had a 4" PPQ and a Q5, but decided they weren't for me. They were accurate and had decent triggers, but none of the backstraps would allow me ergonomically activate both the mag release and the slide release - I had to pick one or the other. Many complained that the grip was too short. The grip texture was meh, but there is no such thing as too aggressive in my book. I wanted to like them, but ended up going back to a Glock.

The PT-92. I had one and well, mama said if you don't have anything nice to say...

Looks kinda iffy… -

How close does one have to be to use a taser? If the guy has a knife, I'm maintaining distance. -
Per their websites, the 43 with empty mag is two ounces heavier than the CM9 with empty mag. That ain't much. THE MSRP of all three are within $9. MY CM9 trigger was exactly as you describe - light, smooth, and waaaay too long. It's been a while, but I remember my Shield being chunkier in the grip. The 43 is OK until you add the +1 extension. Then it becomes a whole new gun that is much easier to shoot in a hurry. I'm not a 43 fanboy (it's too small), but my current situation has temporarily led me to pocket carry and it's the best option I have found. I'm glad I already had it.
-
I've owned all three (43, CM9, and Shield) and the Shield was bigger than the other two. The CM9 and the 43 were close enough to not matter when the 43 was wearing its stock 6 round magazine. I am using sise-by-side comparisons, not some manufacturer's misleading specs. The CM9 was a good little gun except for its awful trigger.
-
And just in case anybody thinks Vogel can't shoot...he shoots the Ohio state pistol qual at 5x the distance and half the allowed time.
-
I could watch Vogel videos all day. Here are a couple more where he discusses grip and grip strength. One thing I've always believed and Vogel teaches is not to crush the gun with the firing hand. Vogel does have freak hand strength, though.

Glock 43 It's not Gucci like all the mini double stacks that are now fashionable and it's too small (for me) to be a general purpose carry gun, but it's quite useful in certain roles. I'm recovering from rotator cuff surgery and didn't realize I would struggle so much to button my damn pants, so I have been carrying a pocket gun in a kydex Aholster instead of the usual IWB rig. Many would argue that a j-frame is the best answer for a pocket gun, but I think the 43 is superior. - holds three more rounds (w/ Pearce +1) -flatter/easier to conceal -easier to shoot -less recoil -9mm is arguably more effective than .38
-
...which may already be superior to what they are selling.
-
Agreed - the best handgun shooter in the world, Eric Grauffel, puts his finger around the front of the trigger guard fudd style. What is counterproductive for some may be perfect for others and vice versa.
-
I disagree with the guy's premise that the weak hand trigger finger indexing on the strong hand middle finger is the way. This method often sets up my weak hand grip lower than I like on a G17. Splitting hairs here, but It does illustrate that a one-size-fits-all method sometimes isn't ideal when different size and shape guns and different size and shape hands are involved. As usual, training/practice overcomes a lot and whatever works is what works.
-
Sometimes comes with the territory unfortunately.
-
Right. Maybe new shows will also start including bowel movements.
-
It wasn't.
-
I knew the author was from or lived in Memphis. I'll have to check out the books. Why do shows suddenly have to include this? A lot of people don't want to see it.
-
I think I saw you pull out in front of somebody on Sycamore View once in the Bronco. Kinda reminded me of Frogger in a car.

I rolled the dice on what I figured was another cheesy CIA movie - Gray Man. It was silly, but fun enough - lots of bad guys who are lousy shots, a hot brunette who can fight, Pablo Escobar playing the fake ID guy, the Prague police used P-09s instead of the usual Glocks, and the hero takes multiple stab wounds and a gunshot, but walks out of the hospital in two weeks and goes back into one man army mode. I LOLd when Ryan Gosling used the reflection in the windows to figure out when and where to shoot the bad guy through the train roof.
