I came across this the other day. I think it is great. Just goes to show, people are not always as they seem. Warning: Some offensive language.

I am not a glock fan. I am not sure what it is, but they just do not feel natural in my hand. You should really go to the store and handle a bunch of guns before even thinking about picking one out to buy. You need to pick a gun that just fits you. Then worry about caliber and different models in that line. I have shot a compensated Glock. I do not know what model it was, but it was a .40. I could not see that much difference in it and a regular .40. What ever you get, just practice with it.

Exactly what I do. Use a marker to draw a dot in the middle and you are good to go.

As I was told when I started carrying, you will have a drawer full of various holsters for various purposes. Suggestions from fellow carriers are good, but do not get disappointed if a holster is not what you expected or not a comfortable as you would like. You will probably try at least two or three different ones before you figure out what is really for you. I am about 6' 2" 220 lbs with a little extra of that natural insulation. I carry a Ruger P345 in a Tagua IWB at 4 or 5 o'clock, and I often forget it is there. I do not ride donorcycles, but I am very active and have riden horses with this set-up with no problem.

This delimma has plagued man since the beginning of time, I do believe.

Kill it, dispose of it far away from your house, and never mention a word about it to anyone.

I feel like I am at the pet store; I just want to tap on the glass.

If you are wanting to minimize secondary damage, you should get rid of the fmj for sure. I would go with a jhp with the idea that if you do miss your target and send a couple into walls, the hollow points will mushroom and disipate energy much quicker than a fmj. As for hitting your soft target, I do not know if the fmj 45 will stay in the target, but a jhp will almost certainly stay in your target.

Sling shotting the slide can be more difficult. If I am having trouble racking one. I reverse the grip with my week hand and push the gun in a more oblique angle across the body rather than away from the body. The action is kinda like what this guy does at about 30 seconds. By the way, I have no idea what the rest of the video is about, so if it is crappy, please don't flame me over it.

Excellent rebuttal. It will be interesting to see the response. Sometimes the people that proclaim themselves to be progressive and free thinking, as you would often find at universities, are actually the most close-minded people there are. Way to stand and fight the good fight.

I agree with seaslug. Something seems to be missing from this story. It is a little funny none the less. I am not sure how I feel about it, but just the thought of a man bulldozing a $350k house is interesting.

Thank you all for the advice. I will post what happens.

It is a post-64. If it were pre, I would not do anything to it. It shoots halfway respectable groups, but who does not want their rifle to be more interesting? The stock does not appear to have obvious pressure pads, and it is not tight where it is contacting. In other words, I do not think this is an engineered pad.

it has three screws into the action, none into the barrel

I have an older post-64 model 70 Winchester. It is from back when they really made them in the US by Winchester. Anyway, my question is, can I remove a little material off the stock to really float the barrel? It seems like it is trying to float now, but it won't pass the dollar test. There is not attachment from the stock to barrel, and I can see the contact points when I remove the stock. It is only out toward the foregrip where it is touching. I was planning on just using some sand paper to give it a little room under there. Of course I would re-seal the stock after sanding it. I am just looking for a little advise on this. Thank you for your help.

terminal ballistics This is where I was looking. I am not really sure how scientific it is, but I figure it is close enough for a ballpark figure.

I am glad you all enjoyed it.

One shot stops refer to the amount of energy in a shot. Energy = .5 * mass * velocity * velocity. That being said, you need to know the velocity of the round to truly decide which one has more energy. When comparing balistic charts, always remember to keep an eye on the weapons used. Barrel length has a large impact on velocity. A given round does not have the same energy from every weapon. Short answer to your question, the charts I quickly glanced at appeared to have the two rounds at similar velocity; thus, the 38 special would win out in my book. I carry a .38 and I do not own a .380. Also remember that the energy must be transfered to the target. If the round passes through the target, wasted energy. One of the biggest reason to use hollow points is so the round stays in the target and transfers the maximum amount of energy or knock-down power to the target.

Way to go, make fun of the new guy with a history of violence.

This is a little politically incorrect, but as long as you are not easily offended, it is fairly humorous. YouTube - Lil Liberals in Our Future Leaders.mov

Congrats! Just know the good Lord is in control. The more I learn about embryology and fetal development, the more and more I realize that life truly is a miracle.

What a damn mess. It would be sooooooo simple to fix all of this; carry anywhere unless a state issued sign is posted. By this, the law would be standardized and the signs would be standardized. No more guessing it may be this or may be that.

Thanks everyone. I am a poor, poor student, and I have had some things come up. It looks like this endeavor is going to be on hold for a little while.

I had a p11. Mine broke with a fairly low round count. I found it really hard to trust it afterwards. I thought it was really snappy to shoot. I sold it and bought a Ruger p345. It would rather shoot the 45 over that little 9mm. If you do decide to get one, take a little time "cleaning it up." you might want to do a little work on the ramp, and get the molding lines off the trigger for sure. Personally, if it were for my wife, I would probably keep the Bursa. She will be able to shoot it more accurately, and will find it better behaved. I know it is less power, but I would take an accurate shot over a sloppy, more powerful shot anyday. If you do decide to get one, Silver's Firearms in Cleveland has the best prices of anywhere around and is a good guy to deal with. Silvers Firearms

Someone that flucks with a group of professed gun enthusiasts, that is a new kind of stupidity for me. Thank you for offering such a great service to us. I am sorry you have to deal with bottom feeders of society.
