  1. It's sad how many people believe the 2nd Amendment is only about hunting, shooting, and self-defense. Good video, glad I got to see it. Only one would've made me happier and that's if the weapons had been their own privately purchase weapons instead. But, still very good.
  2. Absolutely beautiful! I'm with Lester...love that finish, but also love the black contrast. You sir, have excellent taste. CZ is my favorite brand, I have 4 of them. As an overall package they're hard to beat for the money!
  3. Looks great! Good call getting the black one, nice contrast agains the frame!
  4. It sounds to me like you are getting screwed from both ends, dude. Sorry to hear that. I'm curious to know if Arsenal suspects OnTarget has been using the gun as a range rental or has taken in in as a return or something like that. From the OP, it doesn't sound likely a shop would have one sitting NIB on a shelf with any reasonable kind of demand unless they had it grossly overpriced. Let's assume OnTarget has not been renting out this gun or letting employees shoot it and it really has been sitting NIB on a shelf despite demand for 3 years and it's not a return. Why drag your feet for 2+ wks getting it sent back, if you're sure you sold a NIB gun to someone? I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like OnTarget knew this gun would never be fixed free by Arsenal under warranty, so they didn't even try. I wonder what kind of story the OP would've been told a month later when it never got sent out.
  5. I didn't get a chance to chime in earlier, but thanks David. Full version by default is awesome! BTW...I am loving TGO even more lately now that I have an iPad!
  6. Outpost Armory I thought I'd already said "who"...sorry about that.
  7. I totally "get" the spirit of your comments. I agree for the most part, but this is the kind of arguments the anti-2A crowd used when the Restaurant Carry bill was being debated. When I go shopping, out to eat, or to get my oil changed I suspect there are strangers with weapons that may not be as responsible as myself. God knows that class isn't gonna change them much.
  8. They had 2 left as of last Saturday. Your chances aren't bad...they had 5 last Monday and had 3 left by Saturday. Odds are they may still have one left, if you hurry.
  9. Are you kidding? You guys are "enablers" of the worst kind! LOL

    Cheap 380

    I'd buy a Hi-Point first. LOL
  11. I had a great time shooting it this weekend. I am very happy I didn't walk out of there with some stupid ol gunpowder Plus, I've had pleasant dreams every night of all the cool stuff I can get for it...holster(s), mags, sights, grips!
  12. There shouldn't have been any LOADED firearms in the classroom.

    The Armory - Lebanon

    I had some Cerakoting done by a guy at The Armory in Lebanon. He did a real good job and I'm happy with the final product, but it took almost twice as long as he quoted me.
  14. I never know if the guys in these testimonials are paid and/or believe in the product or not. Either way, Ken Hackathorn makes a pretty good case for the GFA in this video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDd2M-It1b4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
  15. At a class I took once, the instructor did this demonstration...only he sprung for a fancy Galco Matrix holster instead. The Fobus video could've saved him $30, LOL.
  16. Dang! That's impressive work.
  17. I've only shot a 1911 once until this weekend. I see why folks like them so much. I was able to pull off about a 2.5" to 3" group at @ 10 yds by the middle of my first box of ammo.
  18. I swear I just went in to look around...maybe pick up an extra pound of powder at the most. But, I walked out with one of these instead: It's not my fault, who'd of thought they'd even have one...let alone 3 of them?
  19. UPDATE: Turns out, spinning the cases while applying the stain didn't work. When the dyed brass falls onto my drying mat, whatever it touches takes the stain off the brass. I tumbled and cleaned the brass well with denatured alcohol and put it in a gallon-sized Ziploc. Splashing in about .5 to .75 oz of dye and shaking the bag worked better than anything else I tried. The problem is there's still splotchy areas on the brass (often an entire side of a case) that won't "take" the dye. It looks/acts like it's oily, but the alcohol should've fixed that. Also, the dye DOES come off during tumbling, but not all of it. Applying more will only lead to build-up that could make the brass too thick to be usable. So, I had to clean the brass with alcohol after tumbling to apply more dye, which I WON'T do after each use (too much fuss). All-in-all, I'm NOT considering the Dykem idea a complete bust. It works as well as a Sharpie, but is messy. I'll just use it to mark the headstamp to make my sorting easier and go back to hoping I find it all before someone else sweeps it up at the range.

    M&P 15 .22

    I've seen Jerry Miculek use a red dot mounted at 45 degrees in 3-gun on TV. I've never seen iron sights like that though. Great idea!

    Opinions on Kel-tec

    I have a P-32 that I've been carrying as a BUG for a couple of years now. I put a couple of mags through it about once a month to be sure nothing's wrong. I don't have a single complaint about mine. In fact, I liked it enough to put a Crimson Trace Laserguard on it. They ain't cheap, so that's a decent sized commitment I wouldn't have made if I didn't trust the gun.
  22. i entered my email address at 8 or 10 websites that will notify you when Hornady 9x18 was back in stock. Funny thing is 4 of them emaied me the same day saying it was in stock, so I got to be choosey about price...a little. Starline brass is top notch stuff, but it's about 18 cents per case. I know I can reload it many times, but that's too pricey for a cheapskate like me.
  23. Wow! When do you ever have time to shoot? LOL
  24. As far as reloads go...I try to keep 500 rounds of 9mm Lugers ahead of my shooting pace. Likewise, I keep 200 9mm Makarovs on hand. I just keep these in 100 ct MTM boxes, since I rotate through this stock at least once per month. When it comes to store bought...I panic when I open the last 550 round box of Federal 22's. There's always at least a box or 2 of .32 ACPs and .380s in my ammo cabinet along with a couple hundred 12 and 20 gauge shells. My wife thinks this is too much...I wish she realized how much others keep on hand, so she'd get off my back about spending so much time in the garage reloading.
  25. 4 more years of that last one and this place will look like a junk yard.
