I always like watching these cctv videos of hold ups because they provide a great deal of insight on what happens, what people do that fails, and what people do that succeed.  Can never know enough about them.  This one Is sort of different, you can tell the guy is experienced, when the gun comes out, he doesn't instantly go into attack mode, he calmly hands his wallet over to thug #2, draws and puts thug #1 down since he is the one with the gun.  Checks the situation, again, then goes directly to the guy with the gun.   Well played.   https://www.facebook.com/DailyPolicePhoto/videos/605740622906518/

Just audited by ATF. No copies of 4473's were had.

On the wife's suggestion, we acquired a .22 rifle today - The Ruger American Bolt-action rifle. We looked at the Ruger 10/22, but chose the bolt over the semi-auto... part of the reason for the purchase was so our kids have something to take w/ us to the plinking range when we bring our pistols to practice, and my oldest is a bit impulsive. Many times I've watched him blow through 10-rounds on the .22 pistol's, caring nary a whit for where they were landing. I'm hoping to teach a little trigger-control w/ the bolt. I also want to see how the Ruger American platform behaves. I've been contemplating a .308 version of that rifle.   And it has a threaded barrel - means I can get a suppressor for it, too.. tax-stamp here I come!  :rock:   Have I mentioned lately how glad I am I married her?   Next item is a decent, affordable piece of glass!   - K

Thoughts? With 100,000,000 new purchases in the past decade, my thoughts would be that they have their work cut out for them if they're going to go through all that paperwork.

What, some .22 LR came in?  

These toys are side by side. Sandpeople always stand single file to hide their numbers.  

My father gave this to me yesterday. Being the ever active tinkerer he is, he decided to put new handles on this one he found with broken handles. It isn't original by any means, but I thought it turned out quite well.

F'ing white people.

My wife and I stopped by Bob's Package Store today and met Mike357. Super guy...glad we finally got to meet. He sold us some Vodka and Bourbon. The Bourbon that we purchased was Rip Van Winkle...can't wait to try it out over the holidays. Thanks Mike!!! B

Skip the glass for now, wait till the kids get good with iron sights.

#29 Damascus, please.

Ours was installed on our roof, and we had the roof redone. The roof installers just put the dish back up, and not in the same place it was, so the signal was all jacked up. I was able to find a site from Google to tell me what the angles were supposed to be. There are three different adjustments: 1. directional angle from North, 2. Angle from the horizon, 3. Twist of the dish.  I figured the twist was correct since it was mounted to the frame, so I just needed to get the other two correct. I got out my GPS to find the angle from North, and a protractor and level to find the angle from the horizon. Worked perfectly.

I don't want the glock guys to have all the fun, lol! Here are my EAA Witness 10MMs. Top is an Elite Match, bottom in a standard Witness. The Elite Match is a total sleeper... around $750 for a super sweet 3.5-4lb trigger and awesome fit and finish right out of the box. Just upgrade to a 20+lb recoil spring, they're stupid undersprung. The best groups I've ever shot have been with that gun. The standard Witness is just average.

  Go back and add them to your cart.  There really is no substitute if you're looking for classy, robust, long-term storage.

I've seen ammo in proper ammo cans stand up to floods, tornadoes, falling out of trucks, and decade after decade of storage. I can't imagine why I would use anything else for storing ammo.

Thanks for posting...wolves, sheep and a well prepared sheepdog.

I have one left...I am sure they are going to get delivered eventually but if you absolutely need one for someone for Christmas let me know. I think I still have one floating around the garage somewhere (along with 50 Larue Tactical stickers...seriously someone take these freebie bumper stickers off my hands.)

I actually like the SR45 and have an SR9 already. The SR45 grip feels better to me then the 2nd and 3rd gen G-21's I've owned did. It has good out of the box sights and can be fitted with night sights if wanted. I've test fired one and plan to purchase one in the coming year.

Personally I am not a fan. The first one I ever held I was going to buy until we broke it trying to reassemble it in the store. That was enough to discourage me. If I recall it was with an ejector that had to be pushed in a certain direction for assembly and disassembly. I read of other issues such as the mag release issue, but I don't know if these issues occur more frequently than with other handguns.

Sure wish we were closer. lol I have one with ss slide that I'm going to sell. I just don't shoot it. I've had no problems with it. I bought it from a local member, shot it a few times, and got pulled into some other shiney things. It's a comfortable gun. I mean the grip fits me well, and it has a pretty nice trigger on it. Not a match trigger, but I like it. It is one of the softest shooting 45 cal I have ever shot. Surprisingly so with the poly frame. As for size, I have medium small hands and have no trouble holding it. Personally, as far as I'm concerned it is the absolute best of Ruger's SR series guns. Dang if I'm not talking myself into keeping it. lol I had it in a place in the house for a while, but have gone to revolvers for some of those locations. My bedside varies with whatever I'm enamored with and shooting at the time.

I do still use a couple small desiccants in each one because I'm a bit of a nut lol

Got a small 7 point yesterday morn. Nuthin fancy, got out to the huntin house a little late, about 6:20. A little after 7 this little fella came sneakin around the south side. Steady walkin and not stoppin, so I ease the 308 MX out the window. Bang, he goes down. I sit the rifle down grab up the pistol, as I'm leaving the shack, I see him stand up. So I jump in the truck right quick, and ease over.  There he is, guess he just stood up and then just fell back down.   Range finder said 73 yds., that 170 gr. Speer Hot Cor over 41.1 gns LVR made a complete pass thru, and he never really went any where. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a203/sidinslinger/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-12/20151218_073533_zps6xdqfjzm.jpg~original

Seems the Jade Helm budget didn't include money for a digital scanner. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk, because I felt that Oh Shoot wanted to know that particular bit of information.

Yah, car salesman are the worst to deal with. I know what I want, I know what my trade in is worth, and I know how much I'm willing to pay. If these criteria are not compatible, we won't have a deal, but they will just keep going in every direction. Don't ever give them your contact info. They'll never leave you alone after you walk out on them.

I sold all of my guns after they began asaulting each other in the safe.  There was a constant dispute to be in front of the safe.

Your buddy's story sounds a little different than the most recent version.

I use an old ammo can to carry boxed or loose rounds to the range, as well as store cleaning supplies and a leatherman.  A bag could do just as good, but my ammo can laying on its side, with a sandbag rest on top of it is the perfect height for a makeshift rifle support.   As to filled magazines, bandolier's are pretty good for holding them.  The ones they issued when the Army fielded MOLLE gear held six mags and can be had for relatively cheap.  One in the house, one in the truck, one in the go-bag...they make a good way to have six mags ready to supplement the one in your rifle as you go about your day.

The whole shebang costed me a fair bit of money, but after 10± years, my girlfriend finally obtained her HCP. I figured a gun of her own would be the next logical step. I picked up a 9mm Shield (her choice) and had Amendment 2 Custom Coating make it all purdy with some pink Cerakote. With her Birthday and Christmas being only a few days apart, she has somewhat reluctantly accepted the occasional Happy Birthday/Merry Christmas gift. I haven't been brave enough to try and get away with that, until now. With the HCP class, HCP itself, the Shield, and the Cerakoting, I think I was able to get away with it this year. She's super stoked!

  Ultimately, that's why I have more than just a few.  Just like the feel and look of them, the engineering, the power, the well ... seriousness of them. Throw in consideration of periodic firearm related market panics and Crash prep, and there ya go.   And I can at least use them with at least the equivalent proficiency of golfing in the high 70's from the back tees, which I can't do with the sticks any more. ;)   - OS

Watched it today during a vendor event. Free 3d, free concessions and even had empty seats on either side of me!   I flipping loved it. It had just the right amount of campy and the characters were great. They fixed everything that was wrong with the last three.   The only negative light I could shed on it is that it had some rather convenient writing. I thought it was predictable but it didn't ruin the experience for me in the slightest.   ****edit*** Spelling

Military Arms chanel on youtube had a really good video of a tour of the plant that the stuff is made in the have some tight QC

A KCSO Deputy I know has two early 42s and says that they run fine on every ammo he has found. I know two other people who say the same thing. I just want to get ours to be the same.

Buyback? They never owned them in the first place.

Update: A Glock tech just called me to ask a few questions and let me know that there are going to "update" some internal parts and get it on the way back to us next week. They paid the FedEx both ways

And when it was revealed that Obama was Yoda's father the Empire banned all blasters and light sabers and the dark side and the force sang Kumbya and rode off on their unicorns somewhere over the rainbow. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Obayoda_zpski3wwycp.jpg.html][/URL]

Probably get diner at the White House.

Thanks folks...... Signed up tooo learn and get different opinions on firearms n such, looks like I found the right place! Go Vols!

The bottom line is.......Operator Error. Thank you Commie News Network for this non-news and now back to your regularly scheduled liberal agenda.

I have owned and still own many Hi Powers. For me it is a must have gun. At one time it was the most used military pistol in the world.

All of them.

  Nope.  In my case, they'd tell me, "Sorry, we can't find that gun.  Oh, and the TICS fee is non-refundable."

  Well, it has kept the prisons full.   Of course now, there's an effort to ease up on lots of the drug crime judicially. Which would make room in the prisons for us gun owners I guess.   - OS

why doesn't he issue an executive order banning the commission of crimes?   Why does he not really care about the gun violence in Chicago?   What a tool.

  I'd opine that a loose interpretation on various parts of the Patriot Act can be argued to justify damn near anything.   - OS

Not everyone drives a truck. ;-) Also, the importance and usefulness of a large towel in the vehicle at all times cannot be overstated. That's one item my Dad has taught me to always have in hand, and that has been invaluable throughout the years. In fact, whenever I get another car, I purchase a set of quality towels and handcloths specifically for that vehicle. Great for cleaning, emergencies, a clean place on the side of the road for fixing flats, and also concealment of valuables. You guys DO know that houses get broken into as well, right? I doubt that with any reasonable cost one can COMPLETELY prevent theft. We choose our perception of a given reality and make our decisions based on that.

I am the opposite. If I were involved in an active shooter/mass shooting situation I would try my damndest to get to my vehicle and get my rifle. If I were away from danger and people were still being killed and I could engage the threat from 30+ yards now with my rifle, you better believe I will. My pistol is just a tool to fight with UNTIL I can get to my rifle. So you're saying if you were safely out of the line of fire and could take a shot at the bastard from a safe distance (maybe even with cover) you wouldn't? I couldn't live with myself. That's just me.

The latest makes of Python and SAA came out of the Colt Custom Shop, which in my humble opinion was the best thing Colt had going for itself. W/O doubt someone will buy them but who and what they'll do to an already decimated company is something to ponder. Colt could easily be made profitable by moving the manufacturing to a more firearms friendly state. Retooling with all new CNC, improved foundries and a non union shop will make profitability achievable. Reopening the Custom Shop in a new facility will bring them renewed credibility. Its my personal opinion the Police Positive and Detective Special could be reintroduced and be immediately popular if improved to take +p or +p+ 38 Special.
