Sounds like the guy is an idiot. Multiple AD's/ND's by anyone should make them realize that firearms are not their forte. Maybe he should take up knitting classes, less dangerous, oh wait he might put his eye out. Dolomite

My way also removes most of the creep in a two stage as well. Dolomite

When magic comes over and let's me do one or both of his triggers I can guarantee he will be happy. I have never had a single issue with any of mine and never had a complaint. I have tried the two stage triggers and don't like them any more than my own. I prefer a trigger with zero creep over one with creep. Dolomite

45 ACP with a FMJ. In at the front of the leg mid shin and out the back. No real damage other than some nerve damage for about 10 years. Didn't really bleed or anything until the doctors worked on me. Felt like a muscle cramp for a few weeks and looked like a cigar burn a it healed. And for those of you wondering I didn't know I had been hit for a few minutes. I actually walked around then noticed my foot was going numb. That is when I looked down as say a nice little hole in what I was wearing, again no blood or anything. Dolomite

I read that as well. What will happen is it will happen a few times without any objection then it will become common place across the nation. And in every instance they will cie the IN supreme court rulling as well as the supreme court ruling as precedent. It is not the officer's fault but the administrators fault as well as our fault for allowing it to progress. It is a sad state of affairs in this country when citizens begin to fear LE, that is already happening, and it is about to get much, much worse. Dolomite

The hammer rides on the bottom of the BCG, not just the firing pin. I seriously doubt a regular hammer is going to get worn out by anything whether it be Ti or any other material for that matter. If you are wanting lubricity as well as surface hardness get chrome plated rather than Ti. Personally I don't see the need for it and you would be better suited using the money on other items. I have run standard AR parts for years and never had a hammer wear out. The wear items in the fire control group are the disconnect and hammer spring. That is all I have ever seen. In the BCG the only parts I have ever seen wear are the extractor springs and rarely gas rings. I have seen lugs crack as well as the cam pin but like everything else it is rare. I have also seen hammer pins break but those are also pretty rare. If I had to guess what the most often part to fail on a AR is the extractor spring or disconnect and either of those are $5 parts. I am far from the expert on AR's but I have built them for a long time. There are a lot of things that people try to sell you as must haves but there are very few actual must haves in an AR.

People need to realize that the majority of problems we see within LE are not the individual officer’s fault, it is the departments fault. Either there is not enough training or the wrong type of training as well as inadequate supervision. I can say that I have seen departments try to either fill the required training time with some sort of a time vampire. Most times it ends with every officer watching the clock tick off the last hour or two on each day of training. Other times the department trainers just end classes early even though there is a requirement for a certain amount of training. We, as citizens, need to realize that there is a difference between the officer that was not properly trained and the officer that knows better but chooses to do the wrong thing. There are probably more that fall into the first category than the second but we all assume that the officer knew but in most cases they do not. And for the officers that fall into the second category there is no amount of training that is going to fix them because they have been doing it a long time before getting caught. And when they get caught they often have to go through some sort of remedial training but by this time it is generally too late. And in what I have seen most return to their previous ways. In the majority of the hater threads as of late the officer is not the problem. The department and their way of doing things is the problem. Had the officers been properly trained and had a decent supervisor, that is also properly trained, most of what we are seeing here would have never happened in the first place. Dolomite

This has been posted over and over again. The only outcome from your post is going to be a warning for bashing and a locked thread. People need to quit all of this. I bet I can find a bad example of your profession. Please post it so I can bash. Like your mother said, nothing nice to say and all that. Dolomite

Here is the problem I have. Everybody jades their observation to fit their outcome. Officers and criminals alike. Problem is if it comes down to a he said she said type of scenario the officer's scenario is assumed to be the correct one which may not be the case. Coming from a long time in LE I would like to see it this way. Unless in instances where a life is in jeopardy the officers must have a written, signed by a judge, warrant in order to search. Drop the destruction of evidence exigent circumstance as well as the probable cause circumstance as a reason for immediate entry. If there is probably cause right then the officer can convince an "on call" judge to issue a warrant. If need be the officer may stand by until the warrant is signed to prevent a possible criminal from leaving the scene. In the end I agree that a citizen may not aggressively defend against a officers search, whether legal or illegal. But on the other hand I do not believe the officer should be allowed any type of immunity from civil suit or criminal charges if they are proven to have entered illegally. Imagine how officers actions would change if there was a chance of them loosing their job, house and freedom over a questionable search. Also, I do not agree with a "safety frisk". It is used far too often as a reason to search for drugs as well as other non weapons under the guise of officer safety. There are better ways to ensure the officer's safety. In lieu of a "safety frisk" handcuff the individual during the investigation and once complete release them without a pat down. After all a handcuffed individual can't fight or hit the officer as easy as when his hands are free. If the officer thinks the person may have drugs or other items on their person then they can get a warrant. Just my thoughts Dolomite

Actually there is no transfer if you are sendign it in for a "repair". You just need to find a way to mail it to the FFL doing the repair and then they will mail it directly back to you. Repairs are not like sales and they do not need to be transferred. The FFL logs it in for repair and then logs it back out when they mail it back to you. No need to have a FFL mail it or receive it. With that being said I would look at Predator Custom Shop in Knoxville. They list a pistol as costing $165. They call it Rhinohide but it is actually Cerakote. That is what they use to coat all their firearms they do. Cerakote is an amazing coating that works really well. Coating is one of their bread and butter services they do. They coat firearms and parts for several large manufactures as well as several LE agencies. And I can say that they probably have more experience in coating firearms than most shops. Every day they are in their shop they are coating firearms and parts. One more reason to use them is they are decent people. They will do what you want to make you a satisfied customer. They have done doezens of jobs for me and I have never had a problem. They are one of the few shops that I know of that will do the crazy, wacked out projects I am known for. Most other shops have laughed me out of their shop but not Predator. Dolomite

This is a pretty good repair kit for the money. DPMS Ultimate Repair Kit AR-15 - MidwayUSA Dolomite

It just so happens that is the exact speed needed to get it into another dimension of space and time. And for those parts that don't reach MACH 90 there is this mathematical formula "size of part/speed of part=pecentage of every finding the part". Dolomite

I carry mine on the side/front of my hip. The gun partially covers the front pants pocket. It rarely sneaks out unless I want it to. Even when I have to bend the shirt comes back down over the gun once I stand up. The holster I use is one I made to fit my carry gun as well as me and my carry style. It works very well with another member here who tried it and said it compared to a IWB holster as far as how tight it sucks up to the body. So finding a holster that works for you is what you probably need to do and jsut as someone said, expensive doesn't mean good. I carry full size guns, a 1911 as we as a Taurus 24/7 with a 5.25" barrel. And to most people, even when I do wear a T-shirt, I am unarmed. Dolomite

There is absolutely no need to crimp 45 ACP as long as your other dies are setup correctly. The sizer/decapper should bottom out because this shrinks the case and that is what holds the bullet in place without a crimp. You should be able to see the bullet through the case. Trust me if you are getting setback then you are not FL sizing your cases properly. Next your powder thrower or expander should only bell the case just enough to keep the bullet from getting shaved. In most cases you can't even look at the case and see it has a bell. It doesn't take much and when you over bell your cases they will not last as long. The bullet seater should provide enough of a crimp. If you over crimp the case mouth can get into the throat of the barrel and cause pressure spikes or even kabooms if it is bad enough. When loading any semi auto catridge you should have a definite ledge at the case mouth for it to headspace on. On my setup I use this setup. Sizer/decapper in one then the powder measure that also bells the case then I seat the bullet with the bullet seating die. Dolomite

Maybe he didn't clear the electronic powder measure of all the pistol powder after emptying the hopper. Even a manual powder measure can have enough powder below the hopper to cause the if it isn't cleared. I know on the Lee I have you can twist the hopper to turn it off and still dispense close to a 223 case worth of powder. . Dolomite

I saw one a few shows ago. Dealer wanted $569 for it so this may be a dodo from the word go if dealers are thinking they can charge that. Something I really wish they would do is make it in 22lr. I would buy on in a heartbeat in 22 lr and for a few hundred less than what the dealer was asking. It is an extremely lightweight gun, I am talking silly light. Dolomite

This is the reason I use Varget for most of my 223 loads. I am meticulous in my loading but I realize people make mistakes. I also make sure that the powders I do use look totally different visually. Glad that is sounds like no one was seriously hurt. Dolomite

It was his reloads. 99% of all kabooms are the result of bad reloads because of bad reloading practices. Most people find it hard to believe that it was their error but it almost always is. Especially if the gun has been fired previously without issue it would, without a doubt, be reloader error. Dolomite

I was talking to a guy at a recent highpower match. He said he quit using Federal match primers for that reason. He said it seemed like every match he would have at least one that would not go bang. I asked what he uses most and he said Wolf. I can say that Wolf has cut my SD down to single digits. I have tried CCI and Remington previously and neither shot as well as the Wolf. Problem now is finding Wolf locally. Dolomite

I'm going to get flamed but my previous Taurus 24/7 fired well over 1,000 rounds in less than a week without a single issue. My current one has close to 500 trouble free rounds. I am not a fan of Taurus but I couldn't pass on the deal I got on this one. And the last one I made $75 on even after it was well used. I feel comfortable enough that it is my EDC. I have owned Glocks in the past but never really liked them. I have smaller hands so they tended to be a bit big for me. I agree that the SR-9 is a very nice pistol, as is the XD and the CZ's. Another alternative for a decent, economical pistol is the European American Armory offerings. Dolomite
