The gun owner prolly bought the gun thinking of all the funny YouTube vids he can make by letting some inexperienced noob shoot his gun. He needs his ass whipped.

I'm pretty sure a lot of us have been on the receiving end of some kind of perk for being friends with someone at a business before...a discount at a friend's store that everyone else doesn't get, a free cup of coffee when so-and-so is working at the restaurant, or even as simple as a heads-up that a gun you've been wanting will be in on Tuesday morning. Playing favorites with friends/family happens everywhere all the time. I'm not saying that makes it right, just that if we knew about every instance of it happening, we'd lose our minds.

It's good to know I'm not the only one that doesn't like rails. I have some handguns with rails and I find myself liking the gun enough to put up with the rail, but always wishing it wasn't there.

EAA/Tanfoglio spends an enormous amount of money sponsoring pro shooters around the world and they do a great job at reacting to the feedback they get from them. I watched a show about them on The Sportsman Channel and it was impressive how high tech their factory was. They've really made some great improvements from the days when they were just a CZ clone mfg.

too funny...when the last shot bounced off the goal and still hit him, I almost peed

Where to buy muzzle crush/peel washer locally?
BigK replied to TripleDigitRide's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Last time I needed one and couldn't wait for it to be delivered, I drove over to OnTarget in Murfreesboro. They had 2 brands to choose from, IIRC. Not sure about Nashville, that was too far for me to drive. -
If TWD were just zombie killing, survivalist stuff, and the like, my wife wouldn't watch it with me.

Adrian's Undead Diary is an AWESOME read. I'd trade Daryl and Rick for Adrian any day. Back to the flaws in TWD...I think the producers are focusing more on creating a character-driven drama than they are on a post-ZA action show. I'd prefer the latter, but there's no denying their success with taking the former route.

When politely offered an enthusiastic man hug, I routinely decline, but it's hard to be mad when you know their heart is is the right place LOL.

It's hard to tell with the naked eye, but a 9mm isn't straight-walled, like most pistol rounds. They are tapered from .394" at the rim to .380 at the case mouth (when properly crimped). I've had success with reloads as wide as .383" at the case mouth and as narrow as .379". When I start reloading a new caliber, I find a brand of ammo that all my guns like and use those measurements as a starting point when I first setup my dies. That always gets me in the ballpark the fastest.

FYI...The running time on this week's episode with all the commercials removed was 43:17, including the brief preview of next week. Imagine how boring this show would be if all the characters were automatons that went through the same motions in every scene. Nobody would watch a show about house clearing with zombie SWAT team precision. It'd be worse than NASCAR or golf. LOL

Pretty smart idea. Assuming his patent goes thru, somebody big will offer him a LOT of money to sell them his idea. I think it'd be one of those next big deal ideas like on Shark Tank if it got the kind of traction that somebody like Magpul or Butler Creek could license it and do it justice with some marketing. I know I want one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Colion Noir referred to the height of the slide as "retarded midget slide". Then in the next breath complimented CZ on the easy follow-up shots and low felt recoil. If you were closer, I'd be glad to let you try any/all of mine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have 7 CZ pistols, 4 are full size and 3 are compact. I'd like to agree that there are no cons, but the DA trigger pull is heavy and gritty out of the box. I had forgotten about this myself until I picked up a like-new PCR and compared it to my favorite CZ (a P-01 with nearly 8K rounds through it). You'd think my P-01 had been sent off for a trigger job in comparison, but the truth is the parts just need time to smooth out. Another con already mentioned is that parts and accessories aren't as easy to find. Luckily CZ-USA is close to here. I've yet to order from them and not get a package in 3 days. Plus, they are just some awesome folks to do business with. Mags are also a bit expensive. The pros column will make you forget about the cons, though. Just hold one and you'll be hooked. The ergonomics are probably an even bigger selling point than the accuracy. The just feel like they were made just to fit you (life's too short to adapt to a gun). I've heard of competition guys who run recoil springs so weak that they break a slide stop about every 1500 rds. Otherwise, they just don't break. And if you don't like it, it'll sell quickly on the classifieds (unless you overprice it like I've seen a few times lately).

3-die sets work fine, but I always ran a FCD on my turret press. I liked having the seating and crimping to be separate stations, because it's easier to setup and I think the additional sizing the FCD does when it crimps to be worth the one-time expense. If I ran a single-stage press, I might not want the added hassle of a 4th die, but I prefer turrets or progressives. YMMV

Personally, I agree with the commonly espoused opinion. We just happen to be lucky tha our position is so strongly rooted in common sense that we are gaining ground DESPITE people like this. If it weren't for idiots like this kid in FL and the crowd OC'ing ARs and shotguns in Target/Starbucks, the fight might already be over.

That's impressive!!
-
I have this one on an AR and I like it pretty good. With the tube off, it does a lot better job of keeping the muzzle on target (as you'd expect). I think it works best with the tube on. It seems much quieter and throws a cool looking fireball out the front. I'm definitely buying another.

I'm pretty stoked for Better Call Saul too. It'll be hard to watch without expecting Breaking Bad level awesomeness. Them's some big shoes. I didn't think they had anywhere to go with House of Cards after season 1. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked season 2. Still I can't help but wonder...Where do they go now with season 3? Great acting all the way around in this series and excellent writing. Still, I could have done without that one scene...you know which one I mean.

False Bomb Threat Leads to Shooting of Police Chief
BigK replied to gun sane's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I'm surprised nobody in the home got killed either. How do you confirm the target is in the house, kick in the door, clear part of the house, get shot at, and NOT return fire. At that point they don't know they have the wrong man and he's just shot someone. WOW!
