    AR9 Accuracy

    Slower powders, maybe a good bullet like the Hornady XTP, and work up a load like how you would with a rifle, shooting a group of 5 or so at every charge weight at intervals from starting to max.

    Biden going after 9mm

    Amen. "9mm and 10mm are the best, but .40 is short and weak, even though the 10mm I paid $60/box for chronos at the same velocity."

    Senate Democrats Introduce New Gun Control Bill – 5/21/22 You will need a (DOJ) license with a 5-year limit to purchase a gun

    For sure. We definitely aren't allowed to get complacent in NY with all the outrageous shit the dems try to pass and do pass. Federally, I'm not too worried, but it wouldn't hurt to voice your opposition to the bill to someone like Sinema or Manchin who would be the deciding votes.

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    My favorite starter running workout to get back into it is to go to a school track. Now, this isn't an easy workout, but I find that at any level, it gives the best bang for the buck in all distance performance increase. I'm planning on using this workout to get back into running once I finish...

    Senate Democrats Introduce New Gun Control Bill – 5/21/22 You will need a (DOJ) license with a 5-year limit to purchase a gun

    Absolutely no chance of passing. Just a bill made so these three dipshits can list the bill in their reelection commercials.

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    So creatine's only potential downsides are some bloat or digestive discomfort. You definitely retain more water weight in your muscles with creatine, but not a big deal unless you're cutting weight for some weigh-in. The gut discomfort has happened to me. Seems to happen to me more with big...

    Need a New EDC

    https://www.smkw.com/sog-fielder-wood I like my work EDC. Nothing fancy, but it opens very easily. I use it heavily at work cutting various packaging materials, and occasionally, wire. Every few days, I'll notice it's cutting a bit sluggishly and quickly hone it on a rough edge of whatever...

    P320 10mm

    I don't own a P320 to be able to speculate, but if a simple swap is possible, it would be really cool. It would be pretty sweet for fans of the platform to easily be able to swap between 9mm for edc and cheaper practice to 10mm for hunting and woods carry.

    Mayor Adams, Commissioner Sewell, Everytown for Gun Safety Call on ATF to Revoke License of Nation's Largest Supplier of Ghost Guns

    "Polymer80’s entire business operation presents a clear and present danger to public safety through New York and the entire country — not only selling guns, but also marketing an entire lifestyle brand that celebrates violence and lawlessness." I've never seen any Polymer80 marketing material...

    Niki Fried sues Biden admin over rule banning medical weed users from owning firearms

    I've heard many a person say quitting smoking tobacco was one of the most difficult things they've ever done. I've never heard someone who quit smoking weed say the same, and I've met many, including many servicemembers who dropped it on a dime to join up.

    2022 Lead Bullet Ban

    NY wants to ban use of lead ammo on state land or "land contributing surface water to the New York city water supply". Lead from hunters' bullets is an absolutely trivial source of environmental lead. This bill is trying to solve a non-existent problem in a way that places an unnecessary...

    Deer sighting, I 95 NJ

    Once I was hunting some public land where I had scouted extensively in the pre-season and seen beds, scrapes, and lots of turds. Obviously it's blistering cold all day and I don't see squat. Driving home, I don't go a quarter mile from where I parked before seeing a beautiful 8-pointer grazing...

    What is Free Speech ?

    When Biden and the Dems lose power, the Republicans have exactly one shot left to really roll up and take out the trash. There need to be serious consequences for this spiral into tyranny. If they don't do it legally, this country won't be able to stay together.

    What is Free Speech ?

    I believe in free speech and the First Amendment so much that I genuinely believe that anyone who accepted a job at, came up with the idea for,or participates in the NHS's new "Disinformation Governance Board" should at least be publicly hanged, but I would prefer impalement and would settle for...

    Gotcha. I recently got a Lyman hand primer and it turned out that it only works well with Lyman shell holders, so just on the off-chance you had the same problem. But yea, I second Repete. You probably didn't seat the primers too deep. Primers need to be bottomed out in the primer pocket so...

    Twitter sale to Musk?

    I don't use Twitter and don't plan to start, but it's always nice to see that crowd throw a knipshin. It would also be nice to see their political power decreased as a result of not being able to wield that platform to censor any opinion to the right of San Francisco.

    .40 Short & Stronk So I put together a new Gen 3 Glock 23 recently. Mostly aftermarket parts on an OEM frame. After working out some fitment kinks between the upper parts, I have it working perfectly with factory ammo and decided to run handloads through it. The Glock is on an OEM frame. The...

    6 dying/dead or obsolete handgun cartridges

    The .40 isn't dead and won't die, but it will recede into niches. Few new buyers will buy a .40 S&W. The only big manufacturers still making handguns in the chambering are Glock and S&W. These things, I think, will keep the .40 from vanishing: -- Self-defense: It's a moderate recoil round that...

    Army Awards NGWS to Sig.

    I can agree with you as far as the standard infantry rifle goes. I don't think the .277 is a good cartridge for general issue and agree that something like the 6mm ARC would be a better choice for that use. If this makes it to the Army's arsenal, I doubt it'll be issued to all that many units...

    Army Awards NGWS to Sig.

    Exciting stuff. I'm very interested in the cartridge and seeing if this sparks a new advancement in cartridge and firearm design. The .277 Sig Fury is an awesome round. Reloadable brass with a steel case head to handle all that pressure. @Podmonkey , you said they reinvented the 7mm-08 – sort...

    What G48 competitors are there?

    With your specific criteria ("single stack, 1inch wide, 10 rounds, 4inch barrel, striker fired 9mm handgun"), no, I don't think there's any direct comparison. You can find plenty that meet some of those criteria, but all of them are missing something. The Springfield XD-E or S&W Shield EZ 9 are...

    AR Pistol Discontinued

    Serious question: there are pistol braces that attach to standard buffer tubes? I thought part of the workaround was that buffer tubes for braces all had bigger outside diameters so that stocks couldn't be fitted onto them.

    seating depth question

    You're not setting your dies up to use that ogive measurement. So ogive measurement is just a way to get a more consistent seating depth measurement than measuring rim to tip. You're using it to compare the length from rim to a point on the ogive of a given diameter. Your seating dies aren't...

    CNN legal analyst says there is a real possibility Hunter Biden will get charged for business dealings

    You have a right to a speedy trial, but you don't need to exercise that right. For the guilty, a speedy trial is worse than a long, drawn out one. Evidence gets lost, people stop caring, witnesses "Clinton" and "Epstein" themselves, etc.
