  1. Maybe he should do another one titled what Stupid #### agnry know it alls say on their Youtube channel. My source, secret people you dont know and their conspiracy to keep that knowledge away from the public. You can tell this guy has a real hardon against the caliber and its user base. Who cares what they think as long as they carry. Its really dumb for someone who is in his profession. He essentially contradicts what he preaches, having a carry and it not mattering what it is as long as your proficient with it. Being open minded is one thing, but at least when someone is just openly hostile and insulting to support a position, they loose all credibility to me. Do you not find it questionable that he has no real facts or support and offers insults and "insider info" (like they tell him and no one else)? So 40 users only buy a box of ammo at a time? They never buy in case because they never shoot? Sure, does that sound right to you? So how much hush money do you think Glock pays the members of the Glock forum with G22's to never post or remove their posts with all the exploded G22's? Since he knows all these secret industry insiders, he must know that number I am sure. Higher pressure rounds causing more wear is no secret, but only crap designed guns break from it. That applies irrespective of caliber.
  2. I picked this up when it was on sale for $38. Its a pretty good packaged solution that comes with a full set of brushes and rods stored in trays sitting over an ammo can size storage area that allows for a number of solvents and tools. https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Company-Ultimate-Cleaning-Handgun/dp/B00I81LC5A
  3. What is he of trainer of? How to talk out your butt? The only case of known (small numbers) failures I can think of was with frame damage in Beretta 96's used by PD's. They added buffers in the A1's out of concern. But the fails were usually crazy high counts and potentially could have had other contributing factors outside it being originally intended to be a 9mm platform. The anti-Beretta folks love to point at this, but the numbers are not significant relative to total used and PD's that did not have any problems with high counts.
  4. I've shot my 23C/32C off the draw / low compressed with some high pressure and flash rounds without much of a problem. Cant thing of a great reason to do it from high. Played with rotation a bit. The ports in this appear smaller than the factory Glock ports, so not sure if that ends up slightly high focused pressure vs less overall. I would venture to say its less overall based on the ports being fairly forward keeping the dwell time similar with more gas going forward. The only downside I could see would be arguments against for nightstand gun in dark lighting for certain ammo that used a high flash powder. Should not be a problem with a good SD or even most target ammo. I have shot my 19C, 23C, 32C, and 20C with various loads in dark lighting for that purpose. 9mm generally pretty acceptable. Its a problem for 357Sig and 10mm unless you get some SD or LE ammo. Speer is really good about using low to no flash stuff for 357Sig for example.
  5. What do you suppose the premium runs on a 1 Billion umbrella policy. I guess tourists end up paying for it. Could be worse, at least everybody hates tourists
  6. Legislation should be put in place that caps the max amount a law firm can exact from the BS mega dollar suits as its seems a conflict of interest. How many of these cases would disappear overnight? Its especially needed in case like this, where there are multiple "victims" and the law firm gets more than any of their clients when they did not suffer. Save having to go to great pains to decide what to spend their 250 million on. Solid gold toilet brushes? Oh choices choices....
  7. Strike another blow for the legal system. MGM to pay for not stopping shooter. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-lasvegas-shooting/las-vegas-massacre-survivors-families-reach-735-million-settlement-with-mgm-idUSKBN1WI1Q6
  8. Honestly that seems similar to asking, hey, can you pick out a screwdriver for my friend...no use case...but I want it to be a good one. You could drive yourself insane. Can pops put you in contact? Best to get it straight from the horses mouth with so many generic references being made with the 1911 being one of the most copied guns of all time. Are they near you? You have Bud's and Smokey Mountain just down the road. I'd suggest (if they are reasonably close) that they make a little road trip. If he doesn't know what he really wants, may be enlightening.
  9. A more carry-able carry gun. I have to hand it to them, did not rest on their laurels knowing the competition would respond. I personally am a huge fan of factory ported guns and am glad to see it. Sights would change your manual of arms potentially. Its interesting. https://www.sigsauer.com/store/p365-sas.html?utm_campaign=P365SAS_LAUNCH&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua

    Gen5 Glock 19

    Glock did respond to Glockophiles complaints about the cutouts, now offering one without, adding front slide serrations. In case you want to go without the magwell at times. https://us.glock.com/en/pistols/g19-gen5-fs-us
  11. A case can be made for not wearing pants being a deterrent all in itself, or at least a good distraction. This is my rifle...this is my gun....
  12. Only have great things to say about them as well. One scope exchange and a couple support questions dealing with a venom. They know who butters their bread! Truly an example others should strive for.
  13. I think that is what we call them, they just call them factories
  14. Damn I wish Credit goes to someone else where I ran across it, glad to see it was useful. When you start looking at, it really makes a statement about China's capacity and how bad it must be for their workforce. Consider the cost of raw material, labor, export transport and fees, US shipping, and seller fees....how do they manage to sell these that low. If they turn .50 cents profit, I'd be surprised. So it occurred to me, being a desktop item...its funded by the NSA listening device Haven't found it yet, but still looking.
  15. I imagine its like anything, once you've run encountered a problem or look for supporting intergoogle results (hate can be found for any gun), its not unusual to then see an even wider net cast as irrefutable fact. In doing so, typically folks look past others reporting different experience or the intergoogling results which are contradictory. Beauty is we are free to evaluate all the facts we choose to, or our own experiences. I find it interesting that many PD's use (or used) XD/XDMs with high round counts in service and during trials without reporting abnormal failure rates. Same for some gun ranges. I have to think there is something in the works here around sample size. I am glad to say with thousands of rounds thru a combination of M1A, 1911, EMP, and 2 XDM's, I can not corroborate that Springfield labeled guns are guaranteed to have catastrophic failure at low round count. Perhaps I am doing something very wrong? In the meantime, I will carry on enjoying the multiple flavors of Koolaid I have been for years
  16. P365 quick size comparison in vid.... Looks like Its already had some initial media testing and should be in stores soon for early adopters (not me!). Those reviews are very favorable, only issues being the RDS options are going to be initially limited (2 that fit) and the trigger can be heavier than some may prefer out of the box. https://www.handgunsmag.com/editorial/springfield-hellcat-9mm-review/368034 https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2019/9/25/tested-springfield-armory-s-hellcat/
  17. Hate to say it, same for me. I've never had one of my foreign jobs go back to the US mothership, but a shameful % of the US millennial made have. Probably because I like Sigs more than I should and they are the bottom of the QC barrel IMHO. I never bought a P365 I might have to try one of these with the RDS to go with my big bro XDM OSP.
  18. Downsizing is no different than any other diet....I fail at both pretty badly. Fat with too many toys, things could be worse!
  19. SA takes a shot across Sig's bow. 2 years later A huge 1 round increase in base mag capacity, but with an RDS variant available. https://www.springfield-armory.com/hellcat-features/ Some folks avoid SA due to their moves a couple years back, wonder if this will matter for them. One thing seems clear, if you own one of the new Dodge same name cars....here you go.
  20. I am sure I will enjoy it for entertainment's sake, but take it for it what it is, an extended Taran Tactical infomercial.
  21. Welcome back and thanks for sharing. Coming from a small mag state when moving, plan for the expense of getting normal size mags One of the more pleasurable expenses.
  22. Thanks for your concern. Did you find it interesting that TAG, seemed to have difficulty verifying the policy history, apparently because it did not fit their narrative? Citing Google research as their source, when that same source does give a good indication of the history of said policy. Problems with credibility and accuracy in media is not just a left issue. I'm good with it. If someone wants to throw this in and not appreciate the stark contrasts with the clear anti 2A moves at Walmart and their CEO's jumping in on and funding explicit anti 2A politics / campaigns....more power to them.
  23. Last year I started seeing magnifying glasses showing up in the mail after admitting the years where finally catching up to my eyes. I found these lighted magnifiers helpful. @ under $10 with the coupon thought I would share. Didn't need another one, but hey...freebie tweezers. Listed @ $32.90, use coupon "70KWWYSS" to get $23.03 off, for a final price of $9.87 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NYVX1DT?smid=A1ZIO3PCRNW7R3&psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=edealinfocom-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 Sorry if this is the wrong section, move as needed.
  24. Definitely. They current market is saturated and the price of any AR today confirms. Other name manufactures making similar product at half the price. They were smart to work on niche versions, but they were starting to slow. Plenty of dealers have dropped them and no longer are stocking dealers given they are forced to by every product versus just the ones they want to sell. I see another angle. Stop production, ride the wave of current sentiment and fear....then go back into production at higher prices with less units and boom...instant larger margins. Now, the anti 2A stigma is something they will have to overcome. Whether this move is Springfield Armory level stigma or not....that'll be interesting. Plenty of folks love the pony, more than the crossed cannons me thinks.
