  1. Some Command Sergeant Major(s) without enough to do.

    Regarding PMags;

    The issue is not with the Magpul PMag.

    The issue is a clause that allows for "brand name or equal"

    Companies like Tapco are exploiting the "brand name or equal" clause in some magazine contracts to undercut the PMAG on price and sneak their product in. So the unit places an order for PMAGs, the contracting officer posts a solicitation with the "brand name or equal" clause, Tapco wins the contract, and the unit gets issued an inferior product that they did not want. ####ty situation to be in, and I can't believe the contracting officers are getting away with it.

  2. Battle Mug takes on rounds from a Ruger 10/22, M&P 45C, Mosin-Nagant shooting Armor Piercing Incendiary, and the .300 BLK AR. It then withstood two tannerite blasts, a trip behind a truck, and a tumble at 35 mph. But the final nail in its coffin was a date with a 10-ton bulldozer...

    Gotta love gun guys with too much time on their hands :rock:

  3. Can you buy stuff at SHOT, or is it just manufacturers showing some of their existing and upcoming merchandise?

    Some exhibitors will have swag type items (shirts, knives, hats, bags, etc) items for sale, but no firearms change hands.

    This is the industry exhibition and buying show for dealer, distributors, etc.

    I'd like to go but it was my understanding it is for LEO's or military only unless you are a vendor. Is this incorrect?

    You need to be in the industry.

  4. And in other news, sensitive travelers boycott United Airlines flights because their planes look surprisingly similar to those flown into the Twin Towers on 9/11. :)

    Maybe we should require all skyscrapers to be round from now on...that way there is no way they will resemble the WTC.

    * but I am sure there would be some big protest from the "anti-round building movement" so that pretty much kills that idea
