It's more of a comment on the general state of affairs than this particular article.

Well, one is not a legitimate news source and the other appears to be an investing blog.

It's being held up by la migra.

I don't think this is a surprise to anyone. At least it shouldn't be.

That's a lot to chew on, and worthy of the time it takes to reflect on it.

"This independent testing reveals that these industry standards may no longer be adequate for modern handgun design. These tests were largely developed to prove steel-framed, hammer-fired handguns. Today the polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol is standard for the majority of shooters public and private." The last paragraph of the article really sums it it for me. Accidents happen, guns get dropped. The standard tests weren't designed for the type of guns that most folks carry. They operate, and fail, differently. A gap in safety has been found and an opportunity to improve the designs has arisen. While much hullabaloo is being made over it, ulitimately I view this as a good thing.

I don't have anything in this size range. It just jumped up to the top of the list for me.

About bloody time!

Might I suggest everyone take a deep breath and remember to leave the swamp in the swamp?

Simple, they don't.

The idea that the Llama is the progenitor of the Kimber is hilariously fitting.

I would imagine that an Appleseed event might not be a bad idea on several fronts. First of all, simply for the training. Second it seems like a good place to network with the instructors who are likely local and can help him find the local competitions/events/teams that would fit the bill for what he needs.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say no, but I bet they had a lot of fun doing it.

If you have Sirius XM, I highly recommend checking out channel 70. Yacht Rock is one of my absolute favorite stations.

This is amazing. Basically, post 9/11, someone leading a small unarmed guard contingent on Norfolk managed to grow their security program, COMPLETELY on their own and without any directive to or oversight for, to an unauthorized police force with 92 vehicles, an effing speed boat, and a full armory with all the kit you could imagine. It looks like no one in the Navy ever really questioned whether or not they had the authority to do what they were doing, and it turns out that nope. They didn't. This is intense. Hahaha. Like, i can completely see how this happened, down to the DLA just handing over massive amounts of unused vehicles to them because they had an address on Norfolk. This is not the first story like this that I have seen. I feel like I missed out on some massive opportunities.

I used to align myself with the the Oathkeepers and was at one point a dues paying member. When I moved beyond thinking that the constitution held any value, I also moved beyond them. While their central leadership is only mildly fringey, the rank and file tends to lean very fringey in my experience. Contrary to the crap spewed by the folks at the Southern Preposterous Lie Center, they do actually do a lot of good. At the same time, they're also rife with these kind of assclowns*. *I do not know if these guys are actually associated with OK, but only use this as an being indicative of the negative aspects of the membership. These folks do appear to possibly be affiliated with some sort of LE org by the crest on their shirts as well as the Safariland duty belts, though it isn't clear enough to be 100% certain. What is clear is that they are morons.

I'm gonna grab it with a vise (as I don't have one and that needs to change) and the reticle leveling kit. All told, about $180 worth of tools that I really ought to have.

That is amazing.

That seems like a good way to go. I'll probably pick it up as I already have another build in mind for larger game, longer distance, and less weight. That one will be a Mesa Precision Arms build.

I am happily in SoCal far, far away from all of that mess. To be specific, I'll be in Compton area of South Central L.A. and still view that as preferable to the eclipse.

Operative words here.
