  1. Maybe time you go see the eye doctor. I had a great 41 year run of perfect vision but now my right-eye has been messing me and my shooting up for a couple of months. I'm 20/25. I did some of the eye dominant tests last night. Square on, but right eye just won't get it anymore. I went and ordered my first ever pair of eyeglasses today.
  2. Just me talking but advise she maintain calm, take a breath and squeeze trigger. It's a mental thing. You squeeze all the way until it stops and then release. A Glock 23 is pretty snappy and big for smaller hands. I've had one for years (2nd Gen), and it's great, not a good gun to start with. The trigger thing gets a bit of getting used to and it does kick. Short of starting over with something like a .22, where you oughta start with anyway, try a Lone Wolf 9mm barrrel for that 23. That way you can take some of the snap out of the .40 round (and afford to shoot it). May help in the control.
  3. IMHO, there may be one or more things going on. Is she shooting low as in hole is directly below the bullseye's? Or low and to the left? What's her expericence with guns? Is this something she is interested in or you? Being a half-assed psychologist here but it's a gal, and all are created differently! There's alot of good advice here but do you think she may be anticipating the big boom? It'll mess you up every time. Depending on her personality and experience, the place you're shooting, the alignment of Mars to Venus or whatever, maybe you just need to find the right environment to begin the lessons. And the right gun.
  4. There are other requirements. This time last year, I did not have a permit or club affiliation (NRA does not count). But link was provided. Enough about that. If you are interested I highly recommend. It's fun! If you don't have an M1 or never shot one, it's only $30 for the day. And it is the whole day. If you've got one with ammo, only $10. If the weather holds I'm going through it again. Hope to see you there. More info: http://orsahp.com/new_shooters_clinic_faq.aspx I think they actually do several of these beginning this time of year.
  5. How would a Glock hypothetically tear-off 3 round bursts after a disassembly? Could there be a consistent, repeatable pattern after the fact or a single occurance?
  6. Here ya go. Still working on the fine art of arms photography. The Model 10:
  7. I did one of these clinics last year and had a great time. You spend the morning in class learning all the basics like positions, how to shoot an M1 (and AR-15), how it works and how to properly use the sling. Afternoon is a full blown Garand Match were you learn to works the pits and score targets and oh yeah, shoot at 200 yards. And you leave with an authentic John C. Garand match certificate to satisy shooting requirement for CMP purchases.
  8. I think this picture sums it up: http://www.useltonarmsinc.com/NEW%21_Limited_Edition_2nd_Amendment_1911/ The United States "Uselton" of America. Prick.
  9. If left at 3 along with another TGO'r who got a 64. Wasn't but one 64, and the Taurus' left after that. This deal got snapped up fast!!!
  10. Looks good! I got the last Model 10 this afternoon and am happy as can be. If I wasn't experiencing technical difficulties you'd see some pics. If you were there after 3 this afternoon wipe it down good, cause it's got my grubby paw prints all over it! Thanks Phanton6 and Austin's. Helluva a deal. He said there may be more coming to!

    Kahr

    Now that is surprising http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahr_Arms Love my CW9. Maybe by doing so I'm on an entirely higher plane of existence.
  12. Not to sound too Junior High but the thing is gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I could care less. If it's only 1 oz lighter than the tried & true J Smith what's the point? We have become so obsessed with plastic guns they're now doing it to wheel guns. Is nothing sacred! I know Bill Ruger's not had a bit of rest since he "left" the company with all the recalls, the elusive LCP product, and now this.
  13. Tennessee and a few other states tried that one time. 150 years later it's about time! The Federal Government draws their power from the people and the States. Not the other way around. That is the way it was intended.
  14. Like all politicians he is not an idiot but a complete douche-bag. I'll even go far to say that he is an applicator (I'll let the audience figure that one out!). This is probably the most blatant failure of a politician trying call one thing something else when it's really the same damn thing! The sad thing is, once you repeat a lie enough you're the first person to believe and thereafter cannot be convinced otherwise. I guess taxes are voluntary after all. Somebody voluntarily voted for him and his kind, just like somebody voluntarily voted for the previous crop of idiots and so on and so forth. They in turn enact whatever kind of law and regulation they see fit because once in, they have no one to answer to.
  15. Who woulda thunk it. Another use for the Miracle Cure! http://www.cromwell-intl.com/garand/debluing.html
  16. Saturday is a B**** down at CCA! I can only image what you guys have to put up with.
  17. Check out the Kahr CW9. It's moderately priced, easy to shoot, accurate, concealable and Wally-World sells ammo ridiculously cheap.
  18. Do you call them or order over the 'net? I've got a feeling those days are gone. With all the Carbines the CMP is putting out now that market is getting crazy. I just put an order in with them for some more Aguila but they don't promise anything until JUNE. Thought about pulling out the reloading dies but you can't find the bullets either!
  19. Actually, I believe that's the whole idea. To a certain degree. This NEXT round of guvment money (our money) is not just mailing out checks to any yahoo. At least that's what I think the Big O's intentions are. He's looking at this like another New Deal program. But all it's gonna do is get the States by for another year because they cannot manage budgets worth a s***.!
  20. They were fully stocked with 9mm this evening when I stopped by after work (5pm), but none of the fun calibers.
  21. Lou Dobbs seems genuinely concerned that everyone is arming up! Where has he been the past 3 months! I personally would like to know how many NEW gun owners there are in all those statistics of recent sales.
  22. Old, Old, Old News. That is verbatim from his campaign website, etc. When they actually put something up for a vote is when we need to get anxious!
  23. +1 on that. But I can assure you if 9mm BB is what you're looking for they usually have that. And nothing else.
  24. The East Town and Halls Wal-Marts sell guns. So does the one down in Maryville/Alcoa. They usually have some freakin' ammo too. It's just when you get to the West Side that they don't want you to have the stuff!
