Man with guns detained at Bellevue Baptist Church (Memphis)
deerslayer replied to R_Bert's topic in General Chat
According to the man's mother, he is allegedly a mental patient. Also, the pic at the bottom of the article makes me wonder if he had a disassembled AR rifle or an AR pistol. Not that the media would know the difference. http://wreg.com/2016/03/28/man-armed-with-rifle-and-gun-arrested-at-bellevue-baptist-church-easter-service/ -
Jacketed or cast bullets? WST does almost anything N320 does, except remain consistent when the weather changes. N320 was the Rolls-Royce of powders for .40/180 major shooters--fast burning, "push" recoil impulse, lower burn temperature (better for lead/coated bullets), meters well, low flash, not as messy, not temperature sensitive. It's never easy to find and it's more expensive when you do, but it's worth it if you shoot USPSA Limited.

Loading .410 can be very cost effective. You should be able to load some standard-velocity type 1/2 ounce shells for $5/box or so. If you find someone selling reclaimed shot or cast your own shot, it will be even cheaper. Also, shotgun presses can be found for less. I picked up a used MEC 600 Jr for $65.

Daughter got a pink Red Ryder and wife got a G43 cerakoted in tiffany blue and silver. I got shirts.

I'm a southpaw and would venture to say that some right handed guns work better for me than they do for right handed shooters. A slide stop that is not positioned too far to the rear is often easier for a lefty to drop with his trigger finger than it is for a right hander to drop with his thumb. Same with right handed mag releases. I turn my nose up at many ambi or left handed guns, but I could see where someone with smaller or weaker hands would benefit.

Did a quick search and didn't find anything. Taking the little one to see the Grinch and figured it was a dumb question, but would ask anyway.

Aperture sight reccomendation for Marlin 336
deerslayer replied to maroonandwhite's topic in Long Guns
I believe one of the newer Marlin 1895s comes with this sight. I'll probably end up with one on my 336 sooner or later. -
I put one in a 43 and it made a big difference. The 43 is advertised as 5.5 lbs, but several samples I've dry-fired all seemed much heavier. The Edge made it feel more like a normal stock 5.5 trigger.
-
Yes, he should have gone for two. The bigger concern is the one-dimensional offense. Run plays and QB draws on 3rd and long means either the staff is afraid to throw the ball, or they know something we don't. Dobbs is not some true freshman QB--why not throw the ball more than the occasional screen?
-
Wow, my two 1100s must be abnormal. One is a 28" modified made 1966-69 and the other is a newer one set up for 3-gun. Neither are totally reliable after 200 rounds without cleaning. I would lean toward an inertia driven gun like the M2. I've heard good things about the Stoeger M3000 and 3020, which are apparently Benelli-ish clones.

Inept offense was troubling. If a draw to Hurd or a screen or short slant is all the offense has, it's gonna be a long season.

More like half

My parents have been getting harassed by a census worker and her supervisor for months. They want all kinds of personal and financial information and claim it will be used to aid in future housing plans. They first got something in the mail saying a census worker would show up. Show up they did. She has visited my parents' house probably 6-8 times that they know of. The paperwork they got says it is voluntary. I told my mother to highlight this, show it to the census worker, and call Bartlett PD if they don't like it. Here are both angles of what Dumbo is supposedly up to with this crap: http://nypost.com/2015/07/18/obama-has-been-collecting-personal-data-for-a-secret-race-database/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/07/09/obama-hud-housing-segregation_n_7758196.html

Bass Pro in Memphis had Easton XX75 last weekend. I assume other Bass Pros have them, too.

Hey guys! Help me plan my family a fall getaway.
deerslayer replied to gregintenn's topic in General Chat
+1 Two months ago, we flew to Las Vegas, then rented a car and drove to Sedona, then Grand Canyon South Rim, then around to the North Rim, then Zion National Park, then back to Vegas. Airfare for three with luggage plus rental car for the week was $1000. Best trip we've ever done. North Rim closes sometime in the fall, not sure when though. -
...and whatever head injuries I may have sustained from riding a bike without a helmet would pale in comparison to the head injuries I would have sustained if the neighborhood kids had caught me wearing a helmet.

Yes, I remember riding bikes all over the place all day, bottle rocket wars with PVC, shooting arrows straight up, then running off in no particular direction when we lost them in the sun, all kinds of fun with matches and gasoline, and too much pyrotechnic/pseudo-explosive ordinance fun with black powder to detail on the internet. I am lucky to be alive just from my numerous cataclysmic bicycle crashes alone. Those were the days...

Picked up one 3 weeks ago and it's my new belly band/running/bike riding gun. Trigger was noticeably heavier than any other Glock I've dry fired, so I put a Ghost Edge connector in it and now it feels normal. Also put a Vickers Tactical extended slide stop on it and now I can actually drop the slide with the slide stop (southpaw). Still waiting on sights from Ameriglo. It's my new favorite gun and I'll probably get another soon for the blond. Can't wait to get rid of the Kahrs.

LOL true.

Lots of assumptions here--would be nice to have the actual facts.

Is reloading 9mm cost effective?
deerslayer replied to ehull20000's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
bullet 7.7 cents Black Bullets International 115 gr $77/1000 powder 1.1 cents Titegroup $20/pound = 7000 grains/4.0 grains per round primer 3 cents brand-take your pick brass -free Adds up to 11.8 cents per round/$5.90per box of 50. It's been a LONG time since I've seen any 9mm ammo near that. Buy the case of 3800 bullets and the price drops to 10.4 cents per round. Titegroup hard to find nowadays? Fine, get some 231, WST, AA 5, Universal, Clays, etc. Go in with some buddies to split hazmat fees or participate in a group order like some ranges/clubs do. MSSA periodically makes a huge order from Gamaliel. Reloading is still cheaper. -
How to survive a carjacking
deerslayer replied to The Legion's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Why is it irresponsible? They are simply demonstrating a few techniques and both Chilcutt and the reporter stress training and practice at the end of the video. Chilcutt runs a martial arts school and is also a bad MFer. Although he didn't advertise, I bet he would be glad to teach these same techniques to anyone willing to learn (and pay). -
Check with Dewitt Trailers in Oakland. I don't have his number handy, but he should be easy enough to find.
