Not sure if it was a Hollywood spin or true, but the irony of how the 2 patriarchs' characters reversed is interesting.
-
Now you're talking! Just haul it all over here to Nashville. That sounds fair (it's kinda in the middle and all).

I wonder if they sift out more of the dust when it's for pets than they do when it's for reloaders. The bag I got is nice and course with sharp edges, just like you need. Hope it works for you.

Interesting...figured there must be some logic behind it, otherwise it wouldn't be such a widespread practice.

Good one, new to me...thanks

It's hard to find 40 people willing to review a product. It's even harder to find 40 that all agree how awesome something is. That lizzard litter may be the same stuff I use. I thought it was for bird cages, but not sure. I did get it from Petco. It's real cheap compared to reloading media and has little to no dust.

D&T Arms for sure. Forum supporters, locally owned, great folks, and reasonably priced.

Flitz is good stuff and comes highly recommended all over the place. I'd have tried it by now if I weren't such a cheapskate. I picked up some liquid car polish at the dollar store and some walnut bird cage filler at the pet store. I throw used dryer sheets in during tumbling too. It keeps the media from getting cruddy too fast.

I prefer the belt clips on the Crossbreed to the ones on this one or the Comp-Tac, but they are easily/quickly replaced.

I've been told that aside from primer pockets & flash holes, clean brass is mostly cosmetic. I can't tell a difference in the way they shoot, but I don't shoot long range rifle matches either. That being said, I'd recommend spending your money on better calipers and scales than on tumblers, media, and separators. For the record, I still tumble my brass. I'm just saying you can wait and get that stuff later.

My wife and I enjoyed the 1st episode. There's good guys and bad guys on both sides, so far. One side seems to clearly have more clout than the other. The other side seems to be a lot less ruthless One leader is clearly smarter and more calculating than the other. The other lost his marbles in the war and has less self-control.

I noticed that cops often seem to ask for ID even if they don't think you did something wrong. I get the impressions it's a stall tactic. They aren't technically detaining you, but with your ID in their hand it gives them time to assess a situation. You are still free to go, but wouldn't likely leave without your ID. So, it seems to me like a way to keep you from leaving without detaining you. In a way it's a smart tactic, but it seems to have become SOP. Maybe that's why it's not a bad idea to refuse, even if it would defuse a situation. If enough people refuse, they'll stop asking for your papers unless they have PC.

Who has the right to ask you if you are carrying?
BigK replied to sschrick's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
By being somewhere armed that is posted with a gun buster sign, you are unwanted and therefore trespassing. If you don't want to be somewhere you aren't invited, you don't go armed where it's prohibited. It's that simple. Just because you weren't found to be carrying illegally doesn't mean you are welcome or innocent. -
That's one of the best laptop bags I've seen. In black, it'd be tame enough for business professional. Pretty darn versatile too...backpack and soft-side briefcase in one. I do like the ruggedness of Maxped over Condor gear, but Maxped doesn't seem the least bit interested in going after this market.

I'll be the first to admit this is just the impression I got, not a fact. I am a staunch "fellow gunny", but I also don't want to scare the sheep. They outnumber us and some already have bad impressions. They vote too and I want some issues OFF their radar, so they don't make uninformed/irrational choices at the ballot.

Still sounds like you believe your personal rights supercede those of others (e.g. private property owners' rights). If a propterty owner disallows guns and you feel like your safety is in question, your LEGAL choices include 1) go somewhere else and 2) risk disarming yourself. Any other choice is breaking the law, but if you feel you are above the law...it's your risk. -
College Student drunk, wanders into wrong house

I was young, dumb, and invincible once too. Luckily, I survived it. -
I read over on CZFirearms.us that some were having this issue with Titanium fpins. Seems they don't have enough mass without stronger main springs. Either way, it's been a couple months and I'm sure you changed springs by now. Did that solve your problem?
-
I've actually never bought ammo that my CZs wouldn't shoot. I just avoided the couple that folks warned about (UMC and Blazer). I haven't run across any yet that was too long or too short. Seems the mfg stay in the middle to accomodate as large a crowd as possible.

I LOVE that style of holster and that's a darn good price.

You seem to be confusing your personal convictions with your rights. -
My wife and I went a month or so ago. My favorite store (the knife store) is gone. Nonetheless, my wife enjoyed looking around and I was glad I didn't have to disarm.
-
I get that they do this monthly, but that doesn't mean they aren't hoping this happens monthly. The comments near the camera are what gave me that impression, not the scenario. I got the distinct impression that several of them viewed the police as their enemies there, NOT the MWAG caller.
-
Are you guys kidding? Everytime he does something stupid over the next 50 years and one of her friends asks "What do you see in this guy?", she'll think about this! It's like a get out of jail free card for stupid things you know he's gonna do.
-
The commie that made the MWAG call is mostly to blame for all of this. They are the ones that see a gun and think "bad guy". It's stupid!!! Bad guys don't wear holsters and sit down to eat at Steak N Shake in large groups. The officers had to respond to the call; it's their job, but the "show me your papers" response is tiresome. What does knowing my name and that I have ID really do to satisfy a MWAG call? As soon as it's clear the caller was an idiot and these guys are NOT up to no good, the officers could have made it into less of a show. In all fairness, the OC'ers were hoping this would happen. They wanted to prove a point and exercise their rights. I agree that rights not exercised are rights soon lost. However, the more atttention you create for your cause, the more likely activists will line up to fight against your cause. These guys didn't do anything negative, but the cops DEFINITELY walked away with a less than positive feeling about OC.
