Tough but somebody has to do it. My second trip to Sedona, AZ and I still can't get enough. Cell phone pictures so not the best quality.

I AM OFFICAILLY A GUN OWNER!!! I went down and did another TICS application and passed in just a few minutes and walked out with my guns WHOOP WHOOP

 

For that many roses the gun better come with a stamp!

I've never understood the fascination with celebrities' opinions. I don't care what he thinks about guns... space aliens, climate change. If he wants to talk about the NFL prospects of Carson Wentz or Goff as future NFL quarterbacks, I'm interested. Otherwise, I really don't care what he thinks.

I can't ever recall having a malfunction that I would blame on weak factory ammo. I had a run of Winchester white box a few years ago that had very hard primers, but that doesn't really pertain to the question. I don't know the velocities of all factory 9mm, or how "weak" it might be, but my comp./practice hand loads only run about 970fps with a 133gr lead bullet. The hand loads feel weaker/have less recoil than any factory ammo I've shot, if they (hand loads) were causing malfs, I wouldn't be using them.

I didn't take it as a snub or any ways offensive. I was just letting you know I wasn't pulling out of left field. I'm always available for help, let me know if I can.

For what its worth,Ive been an ASE master certified technition for 15 years.

Totally agree with you all on this! It's just another step in the long term plan to instill Muslim teachings all across the country. Infiltrate the minds of the young ones to accept it. Get a generation involved and keep moving until the caliphate is established here.   Don't believe it? Open your eyes and look at Western Europe. See what's happening there. It's coming here.

That's one tall tree stand in going to need. :p

  I guess those free TV's are to replace your TV that has been taken by looters? They should hand out free guns instead. Oh wait, a Demorat town. It's where police go collect your guns instead of rounding up looters, where law abiding citizens get disarmed instead of the criminals.   Never forget Katrina.

I have just gotten one of the white label Bushnell and the Led is at the 4:00 position instead of the mentioned 6:00. I also called Bushnell on this and they say it is a updated model. I put it on my model 41 and it works just fine. That said it just doesn't seem as bright as the older ones(Brown labeled) Mine still worked well in full sunlight. I have had very good luck with Bushnell customer service so I'm not worried.

  New Orleans is a Democrat town. They even have free TVs and beer after hurricanes.

The Marshals had long guns and got shot up by Gordon Kahl.     Look at the NFL.  Every team has great athletes, but some teams just don't get it together.  Tactics and determination and to a large extent culture can be the winning edge. 

Awesome! Now get to the range and exercise that freedom! :up:

Yes Glock 19 BETTER NEWS -- TBI called me a few hours after I faxed the expedite to them and they said record clear and I am GOOD TO GO!!!

I actually got a message mine was due. Decided to go lifetime so I don't have to worry now. [emoji41]

part 1 & 2 of the FBI's training film regarding this incident.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlSCE88UhyA   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAUDnzDhQpc

You want a loading volunteer? I'm a range member & I'll do it for a free ticket! I don't even want to shoot, just lemme watch!! :D Srsly.

I got mine today and it seems to work fine, it's a white label and I will zero it tomorrow.

Get an estimate of what it might cost and then I will get in touch with my son and see what he thinks. He builds transmissions for a living and there has been a few folks here that have had him work on their vehicles and all seemed pleased with his work and prices. I am a 35 year Retired ASE Master Mechanic and to me it does sound like something electronic and not a hard part inside the Tranny like Torque Converter, pump or clutches. They will give you a warning but electronic sensors give zero warning before they go bad.................just my :2cents: worth

With a factory gun in proper working condition and a proper firm grip, it's a combination of two factors for the ammo. 115 gr. range ammo is cheap, it's low power for lower recoil, and doesn't have as much quality checks as premium self defense ammo. The fact that it's lower power also means it has a smaller margin of error of what will cycle a semi auto. All factory ammo will have enough power/velocity to cycle any functioning properly semi auto, unless otherwise stated, when loaded inside manufacturing specs. It's the few that slip through without the specified amount of powder, that may fail. And the lower the powder charge, the higher the probability of it failing to properly operate the slide. Also more care and quality checks are put into defensive ammo for obvious reasons.

It's good to hear our legislators are finally getting it.  I can't wait to switch from Arabic numerals to Roman numerals in my Algebra classes ...

And spread to the floor! :)

I can't say I have that problem.   My wife has bought me a lot of guns over the years.   She works in law enforcement and the guys sometimes get together for group buys of guns and gear.  She usually buys me what they are buying.   Usually when I get a gun she has bought a something expensive too.    As long as bills are being paid and some money is being put back she doesn't care what I buy and I'm the same.

Those who couldn't make it missed the best shoot I've ever been to. 

yours has been shipped and is on the way to your home, enjoy!

I was given a TRS-25 last week, white label, LED is at 4-o'clock ish. It works fine no problems with the dot disappearing or being dim. Zeroed it with only 3 click up & 1 click right. I'm happy so far too early to tell on durability. I asked and it came from amazon. I wonder if there are problems with grey market or counterfeit versions....

Check Home Depot for some electronic muffs. Really. I got a couple pair of Peltor muffs there a couple years ago. The work great.

    Only if he starts something.... But I see giraffe's as more switchblade type animals...

He is the coach that was suspended for a year for the targeting scandal. Definitely an individual that should not be allowed around firearms.

That can be a thread all to itself......CULTURE makes a difference.   We see that in the FBI report of offenders who kill cops. The offender has grown up in a constant state of struggle and is often in a state of combat with victims and other predators. He has been arrested by the time he is 12 and carried a weapon since he was 14 . On the other hand the officers that many departments want to hire may have never even been in a fist fight because that would have gotten them in trouble in school. When those two cultures clash guess who has the advantage....    Also a quick anecdotal culture story.....at NTI (National Tactical Invitional) in 2007 I was talking to one of the judges as we waited for the next FOF venue to be ready.....he told me he has been a participant and or judge at all 17 NTI events and he could normally tell where someone was from by how they reacted in the scenarios. He said that people from the Northeast were VERY hesitant to pull a gun . He would just about have to zap 'em with a cattle prod to get them to shoot someone. People from the Southwest would normally give you 1 warning and then shoot. People from the South...they'd shoot you without even talking to you.  I told him that was largely cultural. Many in the South are of Scots-Irish descent and back when their ancestors came over they moved inland to the Appalachians and if someone stole their cattle they wouldn't travel back to the magistrate and wait for them to do something, they'd gather their brothers and cousins and go get their cattle back......whereas the northeast was largely inhabited by folks who were more in line with "following rules" and lived in more urban areas or areas that the "crown" could easier control as opposed to the southern frontier. Many of us are also descended from folks who chose to fight for the Confederacy against what they saw as an invading army in the 1860s and the blood of those people still flows in our veins. When it is time to talk it is time to talk... but when it is time to fight...it is not time to talk. There is time to talk and time to fight but there is not a whole lot of overlap between the two.  He said he'd never really thought of it that way but it made sense.....

Yup, sports men's paradise.... wonder what the Duck Dynasty crew has to say about this.... :popcorn:

I have a pink one you can wear in case you don't find yours.

Sorry but not at this time. I went over to Olegs house and got a CD copy of the pictures. I'll see if I can find any of you and I'll PM you if I can. Swamped with my full time job right now so please bare with me.

I went to the Road to the Horse in KY a few weeks back.They had some mounted cowboy shooting.Was really neat and that is something I would want to get into myself.Only thimg is ,my horse wouldnt like that..lol..

Get 'em now while you can  She's a comin'   https://electionbettingodds.com/

    You can use this site:   https://www.wetransfer.com/   It won't hold the link forever (I think 30-days or something), but it does not have a size-limit, which I find especially nice for a free-service. I've sent Gig's through them for work in a past-life.   - K

Translation: I put my career in the garbage a few years ago w/ the "pay to injure opposing players" scandal. Now my team's record stinks and my QB is nearing retirement. I'm desperate and will kiss any behind to extend my prospects in the NFL (which is becoming more and more PC to cater to soccer moms and sell pink jerseys).

Never trust football coaches ...

Way to go, douche bag. Not just stealing valor, but also managed to make his employees jobless. When you run a business, it's not just about you and your profits. You're providing a home for your employees, a place for them to mature, advance, prosper and grow professionally and personally. You are responsible for your employees like your family. Your action and demeanor affects everyone in your business. What a selfish &@%&$... I guess that shows what a person he really is.

It's been my experience that if people will lie about the little things then they will lie about the big things, so I don't understand why anyone would NOT have a problem with this.   I'm proud to have actually served in the Marine Corps in a couple of artillery units. I don't feel the need to embellish my experiences for emotional or financial gain.

  It may not be a case of directly stealing valor for himself, but he is still stealing it from others who earned it.  When someone tries to present themselves as equal to those who have worn the uniform, or served in a specific billet, they are trying to get people to associate the respect, and honor of that service with themselves, when they haven't earned it.  Those creds he claimed were not his, and he knew it.  If he wanted them, all he had to do was sign up, earn the title, put on a ruck and move out.  By claiming he did so, he stole the valor of those men who did earn those titles and honors.  Just as despicable as someone who buys medals from a catalog and tries to tell people he earned them.   I don't care if they build a decent rifle. It could shoot like a Daniel Defense build, look like a Noveske product, and come with a price tag like it was from a PSA holiday sale, and I still wouldn't care.  If they did indeed lie like they are accused of doing, I won't spend a dime on their products.
