    Going to have an AR built, need optic options…

    What is simpler than putting a big, glowing red dot that is floating in space atop your prospective target?

    Going to have an AR built, need optic options…

    LPVOs are for a generalist rifle that doesn't excell in any one area but has the ability to flex into a broad array of roles. Bit again this is not about red dot vs LPVO. If you only have 1 AR then it beeds to have a red dot on it unless it is a target/range gun only. For a possibility for...

    Going to have an AR built, need optic options…

    That was my rifle, the NYGF build. That one has a Holsun 515 on it. Is this the only AR you will have? First AR should get a red dot, ne question. Save magnified optics for the second AR. As far as scopes go the ACOG is still a great option, simple, rugged and excellent optical clarity, on...

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    More likely to see prices increases before shortages. Trucking rates have always been at a premium in NYC yo compensate for productivity lost to congestion and there will always be truckers that take loads that no one else will.........for a price. The company I started out with paid a $100...

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    Also we need to realize that a complete shutdown of all truck traffic is not necessary, nor could that ever happen. Any reduction at all will have an outsized effect. One day of no incoming shipments to a facility can cause a week's worth of shortages. The modern supply chain is incredibly...

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    I have learned a good trucker needs to know his worth, don't let companies walk all over you. Anytime a dispute comes up for any reason I tell the office "you need to keep me happy, I am an experienced, competent driver with no substance abuse issues, no criminal background, nothing on my MVR...

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    Any driver that doesn't speak English you need to assume they are dangerously incompetent. They almost. ALWAYS ARE dangerously incompetent. Speaking/understanding English used to be a requirement for getting a CDL.

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    Incompetent and/or illogical drivers exist of course. I ran reefers for a company fo about a year, you quickly become accustomed to the noise while sleeping however it isn't unknown for a driver parked next to a reefer to shut it off for the night. In general the fuel expense of a reefer unit...

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    Possibility of getting fired means he was working for a company. Working for a company means the company pays for the fuel and not the driver. Why would the driver therefore be shutting off the reefer to "save money". That fuel cost isn't coming out of his end so he shouldn't care how much...

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    That's kind of a silly conclusion given that the Tappan Zee lay along a route commonly used to bypass NYC on the way to points further north east.

    Observations on current production P226 Elite

    I didn't like the reduced controls of the Legion actually, the slide release in particular which digs into the thumb sharply after a few manipulations. I much prefer the standard controls. What I liked about the Legion was the exaggerated undercut, the G10 grips and all tge extra checkering...

    Stupid question its ok to leave CLP residue on gun right?

    I say film just because an excess of oil will just attract that much more dust, dirt and debris. In wet,humid or corrosive environments it is actually preferable to have a copious amount of whatever lubricant you prefer in the firearm. In dry, sandy/dusty environments it is best to leave the...

    Stupid question its ok to leave CLP residue on gun right?

    You are supposed to leave some kind of oil in your guns, just a film in the internals. I have largely moved over to Ballistol myself but it is also a CLP type.

    Truckers Boycotting NYC starting this Monday.

    The logic and reasoning of the CSRs and dispatch are a mystery to the drivers as well. Once I was picking up a load in Charleroi PA along with my fellow driver from the same home yard. We were directed to drop at one of our many yards in Hunker east of Charleroi and that we did. After 20...

    That is basically like boycotting getting kicked in the balls Nobody wants to drive a truck into a vehicular insane asylum like NYC to begin with. Many drivers including myself already refuse NYC loads on general principle.

    Observations on current production P226 Elite

    I used to own a P226 Legion, fantastic pistol but I had to sell it to raise some cash and I always regretted doing so. Lately I have had a desire for an all metal DA/SA and though I have a long list of firearms beeds that must come befor I have nevebeen mulling the various options out there...

    Qualified Imunity is what allows cops to behave this erratically and incompetently, they have no fear of reprisal. Second issue is "Defund the Police" has caused and competent and consciousness cops to leave the job and we are left with the dregs. Third issue is that millennials and zoomers...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I actually prefer a more black than blue. Either way it's seems better than S&W's blue and also even far better than some of the bluing jobs on SOME of Colt's 1911s.

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    Is the Python frame more similar in size to a S&W K frame or an L frame? I'm wondering about the possibility of a 7 shot Python. Also how does the lockup of the Python compare to other revolvers? Specifically does it really matter that Colts have only one locking point, at the rear of the...

    Colt just unveiled a blued new model Python. Looks like the same deep and lustrous Deep Royal Blue the original Python had. Very tempting.

    New Ruger .45 ACP LC Carbine

    10mm and 9mm versions please. I prefer the mag in grip format factor over the magazine forward style on a PCC. Keeps a 16" carbine a little more compact without getting into bullpup weirdness.

    The New 2024 S&W 1854 Lever-action

    Why .44 and not .357? I'd also like to see a cheaper wood and blued version. Doesn't need to be the very fancy tiger striped walnut, a lower grade of wood is fine, perhaps a laminate. Or maybe just the stainless version with a cerakote finish. I really dislike bright stainless steel on...

    Daniel Defense to resurrect Hudson H9 Pistol

    Interesting. Between this and PSA working on bringing the Hill&Mac machine STG-44 replica to fruition which was formerly a complete dumpster fire situation, as was the situation with Hudson frankly, 2024 is already shaping up to be an interesting year. Excepting the fact that this may be...

    Pennsylvania can't stop young adults from openly carrying guns during emergencies, US court rules

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I'd like to run some 125gr magnums out of the 340 and if they shoot close to PoA I'm inclined to carry the magnums. That said I'd also like to see some ballistic tests of the 125gr Golden Saber .38s from a 2" barrel as well. I'm impressed with that loads performance in terms of how they shoot...

    Everything You Wanted To Know About MIM Parts

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I'd still prefer my POA and POI to be similar. At 10 yards .357 magnums print such that to hit center torso I'd have to aim at the belly. That is a pretty extreme difference. The gun is capable of good accuracy and I think I could get the job done at distance beyond what is typically expected...

    Extra mag when carrying?

    That is sufficient, the chances you'll even need a reload are very slim to begin with, having anything in reserve is a big bonus. As Massad Ayoob states in the video I posted there are reasons you might need an additional magazine beyond running out of ammunition.

This will get overturned in the Supreme Court and will have the run on effect of putting the kibosh on further attempts at such...
