You think you will from yhe drone that replaces him? Politics is just bread and circus. Democrats, Republicans we get no.help from.any elected official. Long past time we as a people withdraw our consent to be governed.

Hasn't Massie been calling for a reduction in government spending? We are celebrating the ouster of a man that stands aginst the policies of endless deficit spending?

Will this end tge war in Iran? Halt inflation? Lead to de-inflation? End corporate exploitation of middle America and the working class? Improve wages? Improve housing affordability? Any meaningful improvement at all? No? Then who gives a shit about the political shell game. I don't...

95 AWB killed the Megastar and therefore according to the article you linked tge company entire. Which is a damn shame as by all accounts the Star pistols wete of very high quality.

Its funny how trends come around. If Star had managed to stay in business till now I suspect they'd be doing a brisk trade if they consolidated the features of their 90s guns i.e. a single action, double stack, steel frame pistol of the same quality of construction. A revamped Firestar with an...

Yes, the Star pistols of tge 90s and S&W's 3rd gen pistols seem very much in the same vein and about equally overlooked and forgotten.

They are out there on the second hand market for not too much money. Personally I'd most likely a Mrgastar in 10mm but they didn't get around to producing a whole bunch due to its introduction in '92 and the Subsequent AWB in '95. Still a hefty, all steel double stack 10mm is quite appealing.

Well for all I knew there WAS a 38 Largo Cartridge. Paul Harrell talked about such during his "fake expert" topic. Recalled a time when someone brought up 10mm back in the day and not having heard of it before was all "No there is no such thing as 10mm, you mean 9mm" . So I try not to do this...

.38 Largo? I have not heard of that cartridge, is it distinct from 9mm Largo?

Anyone into these? I am fascinated by them, they look really cool to my eyes. Model 28/30/31, Firestar, Megastar. A 31 in 9mm, Firestar in .40 and Megastar in 10mm would be my desired collection lineup. It would seem the Model 30 and Firestar are reasonable in price while the Megastsr less so...

You should give the Osight a shot and report your findings here

The game seems to have changed. Red dots a rapidly becoming are commodity.

I've heard a lot of good things actually. I think I'll stick with Holosun on my primary CCW but a lot of people are saying the OSight is legit. Its cheap enough to try for yourself certainly, if it wraps out you won't be out a critical amount of money. Red Dots have gotten so cheap now that a...

I would so love to turn my Colt Competition lose on our old E-Matches! The thing is so freaking accurate. Or my tricked out 10/22 for that matter.

My point is corporate profits are at an all time high while everyone is complaining about the quality of theor workers. If you want to attract top class talent you need to offer top class pay to get it. At my company they have large numbers of inexperienced drivers and low skilled scrubs...

That being said how do we feel about advocacy for higher pay? Not as a government mandate but as a willing investment in tge human capital thank makes business run. It occurs to me that some of our most vital labores are woefully underpaid for the service they provide. EMTs for example; these...

Its by design. Useful idiots wielded as bayonets fixed to the muskets of progressivism.

That's just about it honestly

Has any of this "police action" ever worked out for us? Well for the bomb makers it does which is why we do it. That said Khamenei is dead and that's good. Power vacuum subsequent choas and the next tin horn crackpot moving and such is all bad. It all just a dick measuring contest. At least...

SNT Motive, what the firearms division of Daewoo calls itself has some interesting stuff coming our way. Still no word on when the K2 rules will be imported though.

Oh hell yes! The Carry Comp is S&W's best series and 10mm is best mm.

You don't think it has anything to do with the apocalyptic inflation and despotic oppression? Tge Iranians have enough.

I hope they strangle the ayatollah with his own guts.

There comes a point where existing as is becomes worse than death. That is when change happens. Harbinger of things to come. The situation in Iran is especially dire for the everyman but across the world the established systems have not been working for the majority of people. Collapse and...

Also, tangentially speaking, the Swedish Archer artillery system is an outstanding piece of kit and we should be fielding it to replace our very aged M-109 Paladins.

20mm is kinda weedy though. Limited range, Limited shell payload. The Dutch Goalkeeper system based on the 30mm GAU-8 cannon is better. A mix of these systems would work well, SAMs for long range threats, 57mm for intermediate and 20/30mm for close in. 57mm would be excellent for anti...

Cheaper than missiles though

I'm bored, politics suck, the holidays suck, the world sucks. Let's talk about yhe big boomers instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bofors_57_mm_Naval_Automatic_Gun_L/70 This thing can launch an 8lb or programable oprojectile at 3,400 fps and 220 rounds per minute. And its compact and...

Nuclear weapons make that highly unlikely.

All boiler room hits, looks okay to me

I was all set to fire off an "achtshually" About how the .30 Super Carry is closer to the .327 Magnum than the .32 H&R Magnum but no, upon some cursory research I found that the .30 Super Carry launches the same bullet weights at very close the the same velocities. Given the extremely high...

I think the .327 Magnum is unfairly slept on. I'm waiting for S&W to release on of their new Ultimate Carry J Frames in .327. .32 H&R seems way to weedy for me.

No, I'm talking about a hammer fired gun, most likely a single action. A mediocre single action trigger feels better than an outstanding striker trigger. That said also in the short list top 3 is a PDP Pro X, Full Size version with a Holosun 507 Comp on top.

A Shadow 2 Carry is among top 3 on the short list of future procurements. I have stiker fired guns, double action and DOA revolvers and now a single action in the 1911. I need a top class DA/SA to round things out.

The only reason to buy a PPK these days is for nostalgia. Oddly enough there is definitely a market for a full size, double stack, all steel pistol. Call it the P26 or somesuch. Whatever year it was designed in. There is a nascent market for challengers to the 2011 throne that only CZ seems to...

This series of Enfields were the last production run of them. They are gonna have the best finish, best sights, best everything of the Enfield type.

Tikka T3. Accurate, rugged wirh that Finnish mystique and not too expensive

My 1911 is now my favorite gun to shoot but I don't think I'll ever carry it. Too much size and weight for so little capacity. In the same vein I don't shoot my Shield much besides a couple mags every other week for training and the evil little 340PD even less but they get carried frequently...

It is a Colt Competition. Despite the many stories of poor quality at Colt my example at least has been reliable and very accurate. I posted a thread in the Handgun section

She has become my favorite gun to shoot. I have 200 rounds of .45 Remaining now. I'll be picking up some defensive +P ammo soon to see how it feeds and shoots. Probably Federal HST 230gr +P. And I will be looking to set aside some $ for more of the Atlanta Arms ammo which is outstanding...

I myself have largely switched from carrying my Shield to my M&P Compact. Though I've gone back to carrying tge Shield at work as Shoulder carry works better for that and I don't have a Shoulder rig for the Carry Comp. Yet. That said the Shield's shooting qualities are just fine and can...

.357 Magnum is so much more versatile for a levergun.

You all have no idea what havoc these illegal "truckers" cause on a daily basis our on the roads. They are truly a menace to anyone around them.

I concur: But I don't have any .357 ammo right now. Its too 'spensive in local stores and I didn't have foresight enough to order any for today's nice weather.

It really is such a bummer because S&W has many models in their revolver line that I still would like to have someday. 629 Stealth Hunter 329PD (Screw recoil!) 327 TRR8, new Model 19 and 29. I'd like to have all of those. Well, the 340PD has been fine since its first and so far only trip to S&W...

My experience with new manufactur S&W revolvers has not been good, lock or no. Which is a shame because the new version of the Model 19 looks fantastic and they fixed the forcing cone issue too.

Mandari will be a disaster for the democrats. No win situation for them. If he follows through on all his policy promises it will destroy the city and cure all but the insane fsr leftists of there democrat disease. Or as more likely will happen he won't enact any of the policies he promised...

New manufacture .45 ACP seems to be ranging between. 37 and .45 a round online depending on the quantity ordered and specific brand. It's interesting to find +P FMJ of any type frankly, especially at a low price like that.
