    Finally starting the Fauxland Special

    My neighbor sent his glock in and they went through it and put a bunch of new parts in it. He was impressed with the service since it was just a check up nothing broken. As long as you have to ship the frame and deal with that, you might as well sent it all in. My neighbor said he thinks they...

    Finally starting the Fauxland Special

    Just checked and he sold the frame today. He was the guy selling the BFG 19, he was fire sailing to get some cash up for a 19x. Sorry, we are a day late ... Any word on Glock?

    Guy shot himself in the leg and posted it on the M14 forum

    The guy who shot him self said he was afraid to carry a glock. His fear was reasonable when carrying it with just that clip thing. Here is a company that sells the clips and they offer trigger guards but do issue a warning about carrying with one in the pipe. Thats lame!! Best Glock...

    Finally starting the Fauxland Special

    The other day on Gunbroker they had a complete MOS G19 glide for $379 shipped. I know that is more than the milling and refinishing but you could sell your slide and likely come out ahead. Or, spend a few more bucks and get one of the fancy milled slides that is also cut for the RMR. If...

    Who would buy this target?

    Who would buy this target?

    I was watching a Hicok vid on the M1 and M1A and saw a link in the description and clicked on it, It was an ebay auction for the paper target he shot that some one paid $89 for. Crazy!! M1 Garand vs M14 target | eBay I had to check his other auctions to see if the money went to charity or...

    With a double action revolver like a j-frame it would be tough.

    Shot a Glock 19x tonight

    Guys I started this thread because this is a new that I was able to get my hand on and actually shoot. Thought Some of you gun guys would like to hear. Not trying to sell it or bash it, just a first hand account. Personally I would not buy a 19x it doesnt appeal to me, that doesnt make it...

    Shot a Glock 19x tonight

    If you feel you need to be a dink thats fine by me, but get some facts close first. First, the Commander sized 1911s were post WWII. Second, the 1911 Commander is more of a G17 than a 19X. As Im sure you know the G34 what many people call a long slide is the exact length and hight as a...

    Shot a Glock 19x tonight

    They are about identical in size to the 19x. 19x 7.44" long 5.47" tall VP9 7.34" 5.41" PPQ 7.1" 5.3"

    Shot a Glock 19x tonight

    Having a gun collection is not about making sence its about having fun. He owns over a dozen Glocks because he likes them. He likes the look of the G19 slide and the feel of the full sized grip. I guess you guys dont like the VP-9 or PPQ either.

    Preference, with no real reason. Its not a carry gun for him just a range toy.

    Shot a Glock 19x tonight

    Its a Glock!!! Shot well, but nothing different than any other Glock. I dont think the trigger or the balance is really any better like may are claiming. The lack of finger groves dont make a difference on the full sized grip for me and going back and forth with the G34 I really didnt notice...

    Done with Midwayusa

    I have done well by midway they seem to have the best selection and good prices, and always shipped my stuff fast. They shipped primers to my house with out requiring signature. But, shipping ammo no way. I reload almost all my ammo now but Targetsports is the place to mail order from, and...

    .357 Sig Wins followed by 9mm

    So if a small bullet provides adequate penetration in flesh is there a reason for the bigger bullets?
  22. 71velle

    .357 Sig Wins followed by 9mm

    It would be cool to see the tests done with carry ammo. I would guess the results would be the same. So is it that small bullets penetrate more because it punches through less material?

    Why Hollow Points Suck

    I laugh at these videos on bullet performance that shoot 1 bullet and want to make conclusions. Even a 5 bullet test that gets averaged. 1 bullet can throw the average out of wack. I still watch them tho. lol.

    S&W went full Croatia never go full Croatia

    The personal accounts I have had with small women counts. And please point out where I stated that anyone at all cant handle standard sized handguns. Size was of no issue that I saw in this thread. But you seem to read into things in your own way, I guess text color or caps cant help that. I...

    S&W went full Croatia never go full Croatia

    This was your thread, and making you made claims that no one wanted this pistol or asked for it. Not sure what data you used to come to that conclusion and I posted the statement from S&W stating that it was designed based on customer requests. But, you are that knows more than them.

    S&W went full Croatia never go full Croatia

    Dont start with the sexest crap its not an unreasonable assumption that a small women does not have the same hand strength as the average man. And for the record I know a couple of smaller women that is is and issue for. I was able to give them some tips on how to grip the pistol and use the...

    Ok, the only shit argument is that you dont see something is viable for YOU doesent mean that its isnt good for someone else. I have not nor know anyone that has had any issue with a grip safety on a 1911 and in my circle there is a lot of 1911 shooting. I know a few people with Springfields...

    S&W went full Croatia never go full Croatia

    Any examples of easier racking slide systems other than reducing recoil spring weight that requires a lighter recoiling caliber? Not too mention the felt recoil of something more powerful than a 380 is hard for some. If your referring to the grip safety many a 1911s have done fine with them...

    Dont take it so personal S&W wasnt trying to offend you by offering this pistol. Just because it was not marketed toward you doesnt make it bad!!! Here is a quote form the horses mouth M&P® Introduces M&P380 Shield™ EZ™ Pistol "When we set out to design the M&P380 Shield EZ pistol, our goal...

    S&W went full Croatia never go full Croatia

    Easy guys, I bet the safety will be easily removed like the other M&Ps. I dont understand the grip safety so it will be interesting to hear what they have to say about it. My guess is that its designed for old people who have a fart tine racking slides, and that an issue. I know it wouldnt...

    people have been arrested for possessing illegal "gravity knives"

    Dont take it too personal but its this sort of crap that pisses me off. I clearly stated I wanted completely legal and it get a wise-ass response "IN YOUR POCKET" is ridiculous!!:banghead: Like if you dont get caught your not breaking the law?

    people have been arrested for possessing illegal "gravity knives"

    Every time I look into buying a knife to carry my head starts to spin. Im not willing to carry a knife that just being in possession of it can get me arrested. What kind of knife can I carry that is not illegal no matter what? If anyone can seriously tell me I would greatly appreciate it.

    Squid load anyone?

    I had one and have to admit I loaded it. I found out that reloads work better when you put powder in the case. I was loading on a single stage press and was too distracted to be loading, lesson learned. When adding powder to 50 cases at a time one can be missed. My new press is a bit more fool...

    Which Glock should I partner a Ruger PCC with?

    My vote is g34 but 17 would be ok too. The longer mag will work in any pistol a 19 mag wont work in a 17. Get the ultimate in compatibility since concilibity is not an issue. Also you get 2 more rounds per mag

    RUGER PRECISION Rifle 308 Win $929.99

    Not in the cards for me right now. Sucks because a buddy is getting out of 308 and is selling off his dies and cases, all high end stuff. Could have a great package for not a lot of cash.

    Pistol deadline won't be enforced by sheriff's office, state police

    What pisses me off is that my permit is not that old and they have all my information in there computer already. Likely an issue because all counties dont do things the same. I heard that they are using this to link pistol permits to drivers license. Dont know if true. Im not up for a bit...

    January 2018 Target Challenge

    The range I belong to stops at 200. Also the indoor pistol range has target stands at 7 an 13 yards, so I will have to wait for warmer weather to shoot the 10 yard contests. 300 might be tough to get participation there is no range anywhere near the Rochester , but a couple that have 200.

    January 2018 Target Challenge

    Happy to see the add. I would have tried one when I went to the range the other day to shoot the other contest I didnt realize it was added. Also happy to see the 22 pistol add to give centerfire its own category. Hopefully it will get more people involved.

    The Importance of having, and knowing, your Backstop.

    whats weird is that at 750 yards a 308 would have over 6 feet of dropThe must have ben shoot up an incline or something. If it were flat ground it would not ave happened.
