  1. Now that's sad , but he was old when I was young ; guess I'm next in line ....big gun sale soon ! Just looking for some sunlight in all the clouds ....
  2. As above , but I assume you have seen how people treat rental equipment. Be prepared for broken stuff and have the renters sign up to cover it ; and the collateral to back it up.
  3. Time to rally the troops , IF YOU WANT ONE OF THESE ; HELP A BROTHER WITH THE CASH AND ANTI UP , it's a up front purchase just like the last ones. Only this time you have a choice !
  4. Like it for a home gun for a light , but I carry most home pistols. They may big .45's but if I carry them I also don't mind grabbing them in the middle of the night because I handle them all day. I would never holster a light or other railed accessory.

  7. Wait a min , you've only bought 4 this month ? Your 3 ahead of me !
  8. You know your going to make that illegal eventually ......
  9. What is his intent ?   To look like an idiot ?   Why not just put the buffoon tube on his chin ?
  10. My E Series is my EDC , soon to swipee swap with the HK45 when my holster gets here ....
  11. I think you need to use it to trim your toe nails !
  12. If your happy with your heat ; your good to go.
  13. Great price , the bobtail is what sold me on my S&W E Series Scandium.
  14. Fourtyfive approved ....
  15. Are the girls in the pic 300 BLK ?
  16. Well I haven't done it yet but I will ask if I'm in a bad mood one day and decide to carry out my mission. :)
  17. I have to look up your vocabulary quite often , today the definition confused me as much as the word. Full Definition of NON SEQUITUR. 1 : an inference that does not follow from the premises; specifically : a fallacy resulting from a simple conversion of a universal affirmative proposition or from the transposition of a condition and its consequent.
  18. But now somewhere in cyber space is proof you have read this letter , commented on it's existence , and have been informed that YOU can not SHOULD a Sig Brace ! :) should SHo͝od,SHəd/ verb 1. used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone's actions. "he should have been careful" used to give or ask advice or suggestions. "you should go back to bed" used to give advice. "I should hold out if I were you" 2. used to indicate what is probable. "$348 million should be enough to buy him out" Maybe I SHOULD not have bought my Sig Brace ......I may have to turn it over to the authorities ...

  20. I had this happen with a dagger about 9" long , my carry on bag was scanned about 4 times. They asked me if I had a knife in my bag , I said no , of course not ! They searched it again , scanned it again and finally tucked away inside a side pocket they pull it out ; I was as amazed as they were. I have no clue how it got in the bag , it was an old bird headed dagger we found in our house on a top shelve after we moved in it. I have always wondered if it was worth any big money but let them keep it and went on to my plane.
  21. Well it didn't do it all the time , but has not done it again yet this morning.
  22. Is it just my Huntertown Arms suppressor that says not to shoot on a barrel less than 11.5 " ? I see Gem Tech says 10.3" I guess it just varies by can thickness ? Blast chamber size ? Found this : Gemtech, and other manufacturers do not recommend the use of barrels shorter than 10.3" (USGI Mk18). Damage to 5.56mm suppressors used on barrels shorter than 10.3" with 5.56mm cartridges is not covered under warranty. There are three primary reasons for this: Stability: The standard 1:7 twist rate of 5.56mm barrels barely provides one full turn in the rifling before releasing the bullet when using a 7" or 7.5" barrel. This does not impart enough spin on the projectile to properly stabilize it during the critical first few inches of flight as it passes through the suppressor. While the bullet may stabilize downrange suitably to be accurate when shooting unsuppressed, it will not stabilize and will strike baffles when a suppressor is mounted. Some barrels use a 1:8 or 1:9 twist making the problem even worse. Velocity: The 5.56mm cartridge is also very velocity dependent for stability. Very short barrels, less than 10.3" do not allow sufficient velocity to properly stabilize the round, thereby exacerbating the stability problem described above. Barrel Length Studies in the 5.56mm NATO Weapons; P. Dater, M.D.; J. Wong Erosion: The 5.56mm cartridge was designed to burn its powder in a 20" service rifle (M16A1, M16A2). The maximum flame temperature and pressure happen at around 7" from the chamber. Short barrels under 10.3" cause excessive flame temperature and pressure within the entrance chamber of the suppressor. This causes excessive erosion of the blast baffle because hot, high pressure particles of unburnt powder sandblast this baffle. So, provided you are lucky enough to avoid a baffle strike due the above two issues, the suppressor will be worn out in a very short period of time due to erosion. Pressure: As the barrel length is reduced, the pressure within the suppressor increases. A 10.3" barrel is the minimum barrel length that we require to maintain an adequate safety factor and prevent any damage to the suppressor or injury to the user. Although a few inches of barrel doesn't seem like it would make much difference, it really does. The uncorking pressure at the muzzle of a 7" barrel is almost 70% higher than that of a 10.3" barrel.
