  1. I'm not trying to call anyone's baby ugly, but is the real or perceived recoil reduction benefit of a comp worth the extra muzzle blast? Open division guns massively reduce recoil, but are specially tuned with red-hot ammo that makes all the gas required to make the comp actually function. The trade-off is they are extremely loud. I doubt the comp-equipped guns marketed to defensive types are as loud, but I am skeptical if they are worthwhile.
  2. Nope, the burglars were trying to stay warm. Ours came on about 2am yesterday morning. I was asleep under a stack of blankets and didn’t know it had come back on. With the thermostat still on 68, the heat ran for A WHILE and I thought I had pissed in the bed when I woke up.
  3. No idea how long they have been around, but I started hearing about them maybe four or five years ago? And you are correct, bring a few paychecks if you hope to buy one.
  4. Atlas 2011s are fairly common in USPSA for Limited and Open division. I’m currently experimenting with their 140/40 mag with my STI Edge.
  5. I turned around and talked to a guy there. He said nobody was hurt.
  6. I don’t think this was a drooping limb issue…
  7. No power at the house for almost 24 hours. Tis cold. Trees down everywhere. Wife is pissed…because she can’t dry her hair Saw this on the way to work:
  8. Because it makes tacti-cool nimrods rush to the gun shop?
  9. No need - most lefties know that dumping the mag with the trigger finger is better than reaching with their thumb.
  10. I'm sure it could be done. The problem would be that the proprietors would probably soon decide to sell to ammo manufacturers, and then Johnny Public is right back where he started.
  11. Thanks! It started life as a blue carbon steel gun. STI's bluing is sometimes iffy and I apparently have alien acid sweat. After six months of hard use, it looked like a WW2 Remington Rand and I sent it to STI to get hard chromed before it completely rusted away. When it came back and I opened the box, I just about lost my composure. Some have thought it's just a safe queen, but it has 20-25K rounds through it and has won eight or ten IDPA ESP division titles. In some other thread I think I said a Glock 34 is my all time favorite handgun. I may have lied...
  12. I didn’t see any mention of the cops lying to suspects in the article.
  13. Have a link to USSC’s decision? Also, how were the documents used? Detectives telling a suspect “this document proves that you did XYZ?” Pretty unethical. Throwing a fancy looking piece of paper on the table and vaguely implying it is evidence is another matter. Police use all kinds of methods and theatrics to get info. Presenting such a forged document as evidence in court is, I bet, already quite illegal.
  14. Well to be fair, that was two more rounds in a single stack mag, which may mean three or four more in a double stack. Still not worth it to me for a weaker round that makes smaller holes.
  15. Perhaps I am biased. I shoot more .40 than anything. But equating it to Rodham is lowdown lol
  16. What did .40 do to you?
  17. I didn’t agree with everything Trump said either, but Fauci disagreed with Fauci a month later. But Fauci’s fastball is what really convinced me he belongs in prison…
  18. Made from porcelain and costs more than you make in a month?
  19. Not the only 1911 I own, but my favorite. STI Trojan 9mm. My only regret about this gun is not getting its twin in .45 back before STI went exclusively tacti-cool.
  20. Naw, they were probably all still in bed.
