Maybe McChrystal had some effective change after all. Making Obama's foolishness headline news may have forced his hand into doing something positive. Then again once the heat is off he'll probably slam the brakes on again.

Interesting development. Looks like a lot of wasted money to not go forward with.

Yeah, IIRC they aren't on the market yet. They were popular into the Indian wars and then kinda died off.

Rossi Circuit Judge! Came across this in the newest American Rifleman. I personally love the idea. Although I could do without the 410 option and bump it up to 45-70 or something along those lines. I wonder why these never caught on? Thoughts?

Here comes the koolaid. It's comments like the above that destroy a lot of credibility when it comes to discussing Glock's in general. M&P's and XD's have gone through same "torture" test with the same and in some cases better results. They also have better safety records. S&W's customer service is just as legendary as Glock's and even have a much longer track record with LEO than Glock (as company relationships go) and many PD's are going back to S&W as they drop the growingly outdated Glock. The Gen 4's are the first corrective update to the original design since it's inception. Glock cornered the market with a great product and even better LE prices. I give more credit to their PR people than their gun. Anyone who trains enough with a certain platform will more than likely eventually become proficient with it. The fact that many have to acclimate to that particular platform as opposed to many others that come more naturally is not a good trait of the Glock. IMO - these are the two camps in regard to Glock.

Except lead.

We got your point, just think you might need to get some Midol. Seriously though, I spent 16 years in Memphis and if there was something to get offended by this isn't it.

I have a feeling you won't like the ergos of the Glock with your background. It takes some getting used to getting a hang of their odd grip angle. Of course some don't have a problem transitioning. There are some good hammer fired guns available that can fill the same niche. Sigs, H&K's, CZ P07, and the FN FNX9 would all be excellent choices. You may also want to try the M&P line or the XD line as well.

I think it was simply for area reference. Hardly anyone knows Como, MS and since most of the crowd draw is Memphis I'd consider it appropriate.

ETA is early next week as far as I know. You can pm drcoffee here. He is making them.

Got 270 rounds through drcoffee's soon to be released Neu-Trigger today and I will just say it was a pleasure. It is a simple $25 (shipped) drop-in part that makes a world of difference for the STG, AUG, TPD, etc. All you do take out the trigger pack and install. No further breakdown is needed. It also does not alter any parts permanently so it is 100% reversible and transferable if necessary. While the weight certainly felt less, the take up, reset, and break were VAST improvements over the stock trigger. The stock trigger play is now gone. No more take-up, very clean crisp break and minimal reset. Pull feels lighter but I have no way to measure. It could be the overall improvements that make it feel lighter. Not one single problem shooting Wolf 55g ammo. I figured I'd stick with my budget stuff thinking if it works with this it will work with anything. I did rapid firing sequences as well as three round groups and then single shots (@ 100 yards.) for accuracy. I really noticed the trigger improvements on the rapid sequences and the single shots. During the rapid mag dumps the minimal reset and lack of pre-travel really shined and made the gun incredibly faster on follow up shots than the stock trigger. On the single/accuracy shots the non-existent take up and very crisp break made it easy to put shots were I intended. I only wish I had calipers to test the before and after measurements. Either way the "feel" and performance is much improved.

While I think the current layout looks really good, this is a good idea.

I'm just curious what kinda events we are planning for with gun ports and seeding fields If it's that bad, seeding food plots is going to be difficult at best if they aren't already there. You're talking about having enough reserves to last several months until a harvest ...at best. Then you have to produce enough to get through till the next seasonal crop and hope all the other growing factors are in place. We haven't even talked about winter, water issues, soil quality, or the difficulty process of land preparation. IMO if you don't already have a pretty decent garden with mature plants that you know will produce and have been producing or very large food reserves to last a year or more, seeds are going to be a lot of work with little benefit over that time period. Only saving grace would be being able to hunt till food plots produce, but at that point you are no longer mobile and everyone else will be hunting the same areas. Just my thoughts.

eh, it's alright on my Nokia E71. It only shows the forums list when I open it, so i have to navigate a lot more to find the new posts. I personally like using Opera on my phone even though it is a bit slower.

Just noticed there is something called ITrader in my profile page, but it says it is closed. Is this something that will be used in place of the +1 system?

Good article.

Haha, no need for that. Only that one part was addressed specifically to you.

No they aren't and it is simple. It doesn't fit their agenda. They 100% pushed Obama's election and now can only loose what little credibility they have left with his demise. We are no longer in an age of domestic politics where we battle for ideas within the same realm of general understanding. We have entered full fledged into the world of ideology. It is the same struggle as in WWI, WWII, and the Cold War. The only difference is that now it is purely domestic. I am reminded how we continue to get the leaders we have when there are those that voluntarily choose to close their eyes to the reality around them, simply to not be bothered with making difficult and hard decisions. Remember as Rome crumbled the mobs cheered in delirious oblivion at the Coliseums. I find it interesting that you continually mitigate the Obama agenda while calling out conservative issues as over the top. Maybe next you can take up defending Carter's administration There is no such thing as a liberal conservative. Sooner or later they realize it's like calling themselves an atheist Christian.

Do they not think these things through or just think it won't matter? I can't tell if they are inept or to arrogant to car.

Not sure how different it is than any other finish using molybdenum type finishes or Teflon finishes. Although, I wouldn't say they don't need ANY lube but a lot less and a lot less often.

Even if it did happen in the future, it would still have to be ratified by Congress.

Thanks . 200 yrds, 100 with a 16 yrd old in tow is a heck of a swim for a guy in full clothes! Nice job. Not really sure what "snakes" had to do with the story, but OK.

I can't say ATM ... They're watching.

If you are trying to get a match accuracy type rifle, it seems decent. If you are just wanting a good AR, there are better deals out there. IMO if I were getting a match type rifle, I wouldn't be getting a wylde chamber or a fixed carry handle upper. Kind of defeats the purpose of all the other tweaks. Bottom line for me .... PASS.

I find it humorous that the only argument they can come up with against these kind of measures is racism. It can't be legality, constitutionality, or democracy in play. It has to be racism!
