This! I was talking about it w/ the wife and I had to make clear to her, "Well, let's remember that I'm not even in a conversation w/ this guy if I'm carrying. You know I'm not gonna start something while I'm carrying, that's dumb." I hate people sitting in the handicap spot too, I see it all...

Pfft, secrets, lol. Worst kept one at that

Do I need a deer call for rifle season? Never used one, but I hardly see any pointy looking mf's over where I'm sitting, I know they exist. First year, I saw one running above me, chasing a doe real quick. Haven't seen one since.

You should have told him that, invited him to practice shooting/working on his accuracy so he didn't have to chase his horribly shot deer over onto your property anymore.

Since I found what I think I like better now, I'm gonna put this up for sale to fund that. Up for sale is a used Shield 40 (1st Gen) with a couple hundred rounds through it. It's stock, except for the addition of a Talon grip that improves the grip of the gun immensely, and a Pearce mag...

Target Sports, my man. Glad they're claiming this one here in Rochester. That post linked above from Dick's was from Dec 2018. They knew their gun stance was gonna have backlash and they didn't care. Glad they sold off. Hope SW has good pricing on hunting and other outdoor stuff.

Shot the Glock 48 this weekend, compared to the 19. It's thinner and light, felt great, shot well. Liked it a lot

Me? I'll be comparing a 19 to a 48 this weekend, I've already shot a 19 and liked it.

Coworker fooled me, he was looking at the 19, but bought the 45 instead! Said it fit him better. Can't blame him for that

Went to the gun show this weekend, helped a coworker get his first gun - a Glock 19. Should serve him well

If he puts his hands up, I don't care what he says after that, the threat is over and he has given up. Order him on the ground and call the police.

Yeah, thanks, Dad - you're the best

Yup, did it at home, in bed every night, lol. Way better than going out and taking time in a classroom. It's all common sense for the most part

Funny you say that about 3x3. I finished the drill at 5 yards, needing 2-3 on a few targets. I was on my last mag, and I knew I had the knockdown target to go, so I put 1 center mass on each target, and used the final 2 on the knockdown, hitting it w/ my last shot. Instructor following me said...

Yes, frustrating for sure, but I definitely learned from the experience. I was frustrated because I always compete against myself, but this wasn't even about being able to compete, this was about being competent at that range, which I don't consider myself to be. Dave ended up saying later that...

Last week's class was an eye-opener. All through the classes I'd done ok in drills in the ~8-10 yard range hitting the paper targets and completing the sims. Last week they had a course set up that kicked my ass. Run up on the right side to a "window" shoot two knockdown targets on the ground...

Yeah, if they don't push for a ban on braces and AR pistols after this, I will be surprised.

They're awesome tools. I have a cheaper corded version from HF that still kicks ass. Like some have said, I use it for trimming trim boards or cutting small things I don't wanna hit with a bigger saw. A That being said, I sorely need to upgrade my tools from either 18v non-lith or 12v. My drill...

Oh, right, lol. Mine is a Tac II. For the features on this gun, you'd think it'd cost a lot more than it does, that surprises me. It's so smooth in every way. It basically has every feature I've wanted in a gun since I started shooting my Shield. I love the sights, grips, and trigger the most...

Yeah, he did stand up there and take it on the chin from some people a few times, but he probably came out smelling like roses to his people. Luckily, the suicides thing was brought up/clarified later

TAC series....? Mags or the guns? Sorry, I'm at work and brain is already shot

Yeah, wtf is an ammunition envelope?

I'm working on that w/ one of my aunt's - blue voting all the way, women's rights and marching and all that too, but getting her pistol permit and first gun. She grew up around them though

Another proud and happy RI1911 owner here. You'll love it, I love mine. Clean those grips up and you'll be set. Save money on the mags (if you buy more), RI mags are made by ACT Mag.

Pretty sure it isn't a gun free zone, it was in the Library, not the actual Town Hall. I've carried in there before and I easily could have last night, nobody was checking. If it is also a GFZ, then first I've ever heard of it

He wants those checks on the federal level. There were a few times people shouted that we already had those, and he said, "Only here" or not everywhere, something to that effect. He's obviously thinking bigger. Civil conversations are where it's at, even if you don't agree w/ someone. The...

It was actually too long to record, I didn't have enough to do it, but NF took some pics that he'll throw up later. It was a pretty full room, but definitely more anti's there than anyone, but that doesn't surprise me. The "Moms Demand Action" and "Everytown" women all got special treatment to...

My cheap Chinesium cameras came w/ the caps, and I make all of my own ends to being with, so this is not an issue for me. It might be what you may have to resort to, as boring as it is. Just stick w/ cat 5e/6 and you should be fine, unless you need 7. In the meantime, wrapping them in...

If I can add one more light, I can probably force color on for the nearest camera, and that will really help things.

I haven't considered those yet, mainly because I don't want anything at a height that someone can just reach up and steal w/ a little bit of work. I'm either going to add the spotlight or the streetlight to the corner of the house and see how that affects the driveway camera. Being so close to...

If I didn't live so close to neighbors, I'd care a lot less, but I know this would bug me if they were shining at me, so I am doing my best to maximize and minimize.

I have an older version mounted to the garage, for $40 it was a damn steal. I love it. If I put that light mounted upside down in the eave, the 180 degree nature of those light panels should span the driveway and at least help out the rear eave and the front eave camera. That would improve...

Backyard is accessible pretty much from the left and right side of this pic. Go up the driveway, cut across my neighbor's yard. Neighbor to the left of the pic has a fence in theirs, and the back of mine has a fence that is pretty well grown over. Covered Accessing the a/c on the 2nd floor...

I like this idea. I know they sell the paint pens or whatever else they are, but this seems like a nice and quick idea. I might have to experiment w/ something like this at my Weds night class, see if having a more visible front sight helps placement on those targets better Edit: just looked at...

It's right down the street from me. I'll try to go. I think I know what to expect, but I want to "Well, actually" every single thing they say there, cuz I know how much you guys like it when I do it here :D

*Still from a video I can't link here, the video isn't as bad as this still* I don't want to put them in reach of anyone. After this guy saw this, I haven't seen anyone come back up my driveway since.

I didn't wanna keep blowing up @NYGuns superb thread on cameras, but I have some lighting questions. Some of you have seen my footage and know that I wish to make it better. Here's some pictures to show what I have, where they are, and what I see as we try to discuss what I need to make better...

I asked them about my Safariland for my 1911 and once I explained the unlocking mechanism, they were all good w/ it. I'll be bringing that to my next class so I can do the same type of drills. Week 2 went way better than the first. I changed the ammo I was shooting and cleaned the gun for the...

Let's talk some lighting solutions. My backyard is totally fine, I have 2 led flood lamps out there, plus the motion sensing one on the garage. As long as both lights (on the house) are on, I'm good back there. I guess that's the most important, seeings how the cars are there, but I want...

At this point, I'm not that concerned w/ my nvr, mainly because I am just viewing everything through BI right now. Guess I should swap over that hard drive, hahaha

Uh, yeah, that's weird. I mean I guess false advertising happens, but damn. How bad is it?

I think if we buy anymore cameras after this, it should only be the Dahua/Hikvision cams. After my messing with these, I'm happy with the daytime performance, but not the night. I'm gonna add some better light first, but I definitely need a better night camera out front where I can't put as much...

All of my cameras are all pretty high up in the eaves, you'd really have to be prepared to take them out quickly without the dog waking us up. One of them is installed in the eave under the gutter bend, so it's effectively protected by that. My back one is a little higher up (to get a better...

Went, shot like shit, loved it. I tried an ammo I've never shot before, which was my first mistake. Mis-feeds everywhere. Shot better w/ my 1911 but the recoil is more manageable w/ the bigger gun. Need to work on my grip. Bought two magazines today because I realized that carrying 4 mags isn't...

As said, still headed by the CEO of Savage, so I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon.

I'm going as-is, more realistic anyways (no pouch or 5 mags right now), did anyone else end up signing up for this? This is my first actual pistol class/training of any kind

Answered your pm. No idea how this cam works/performs, but the pre-recording is a software feature you can configure in BI I believe.

Sorry, I just replied to your pm, I was busy for the weekend. I would not buy these again simply for the NV side of it. They're ok at night (as you see) with minimal lighting, but they were a cheap setup to get into this and I'd like to slowly upgrade each one. Looking at your camera choice, you...
