    So at the range today.....

    Am I the only one who finds your description of events very confusing? What kind of rifle has a slide? Assuming that you probably meant "bolt", or that their is some kind of rifle that actually has a slide, how is it that the buttstock didn't hit the floor before the "slide" did when he was...

    We killed the plate today

    I shoot at a lot of steel, but I won't shoot at cratered steel. Back in the late 1990's we had a couple of mild steel, severely cratered, 4 inch thick plates, 3 feet by 3 feet square hanging from chains on 6x6 frames at the 100 yard line. They looked like the surface of the moon. I decided to...

    Rough Riders?

    Funny, I don't remember having to index the cylinder to drop the rounds in my double actions when I'm not using a speedloader.

    Mark IV Recall

    For each example you want to give of a "gun guy" at a gun shop claiming that one brand has problems and selling a different brand I can easily give you an example of the opposite situation. My personal experiences have been that sales people (guns, cars, houses, boats, airplanes, etc) tend to...

    For the 1911 history fans

    Hard to imagine anything much closer than a Colt Series 70 Government Model. The slightly taller (but still crappy) sights could be easily changed to the even crappier originals if that makes you happy, not sure what you could do about the roll markings...

    Mark IV Recall

    Is there such a thing as a gun forum without multiple reports of issues with every gun made? I'm on a lot of gun forums, and every one of them has multiple reports of issues with guns from every manufacturer, pretty much just like yours with no background or validation. I ignore them all and...

    Own Your Ground

    I would personally feel real stupid standing in a store and digging around in my socks or drawers to pull out my cash and/or credit cards. I would probably pay extra to go to a store where the women are doing something similar.

    Mark IV Recall

    How could it cause confusion? His won't have the "s" in the white dot, therefore it hasn't been retrofitted. Seems pretty simple to me. irearms That Have Been Retrofitted Already Mark IV™ and 22/45™ pistols retrofitted with the updated safety mechanism are easily identified by the letter "S"...

    Mark IV Recall

    I can understand your frustration, best explanation I can offer is that after careful observation for six decades, I have just recently come to the conclusion that humans are not perfect. This obviously contradicts your observations, I'm not sure how to reconcile this discrepancy. Why even...

    Two slightly different scenarios for stopping a threat

    Cleaning your guns or waste of time

    My experience has been that FAR more people are into using them than taking them apart. If you want to see just how little people understand about how their firearms work, start a discussion on how a recoil operated firearm like a 1911 or Glock works, or why a revolver has a taller front sight...

    Cleaning your guns or waste of time

    I'll be over to visit you as soon as I finish cleaning my car and truck motor, although it may be awhile, probably no need to wait up for me. I drove the truck to work, wife drove her car to lunch. No matter what anyone says, I don't see how it could hurt to pull the heads and clean all the...

    G28 or G25?

    Probably not, I wouldn't be surprised if there were market studies that show very little interest in .380's that are as big as 9mm's. I can think of very few .380's (none of them what I would call popular) that are. At that size gun, a 9mm with the appropriate ammo is a very mild cartridge...

    Who needs AR500 Steel when...

    Those dimples "about a third of the way through" (we usually call them craters) will turn splatters and complete bullets and can send them back at you. I have a scar on my wrist from shooting a Garand (.30-06) at mild steel cratered plates at 100 yards about 20 years ago. Pulled the trigger...

    I Don't Hate Glocks any more

    Reformed Glock hater here also. Back in the early 90's, everybody knew you needed a 1911 if you wanted a real gun. Then a friend that had just been commissioned brought his new issue Glock 22 to the range and I actually shot one. We had three bowling pin tables with 5 pins each on them at the...

    New Jersey State Police Suing Sig

    Congratulations! You are undoubtedly the most loyal fanboy of all the Glock, Sig, HK, etc, etc owners that I have ever seen! Since Sig seems incapable of isolating the problem using such astute analysis as you have demonstrated, perhaps you could offer them your services on a commission basis...

    The "Four Rules"

    And you would be just as wrong as the others are. The most unsafe people I see at ranges and in the gun shop are those who have been shooting a long time and are either very lackadaisical about applying the rules or think that the rules don't apply to them.

    Very low priced non-proprietary pistol?

    Since you obviously aren't a fool like Glock, which other component of the Glock design would you propose to serialize that would comply with 27 CFR 478.92? https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/27/478.92

    The "Four Rules"

    Using your rules, and a literal interpretation of your Rule #1 as you applied to the 4 Gunsite rules, how do you clean your Glock? (Note for those who may not know: You have to pull the trigger on a Glock to release the striker before disassembly.)

    .25acp and .32acp

    A Kel-Tec P32 is huge compared to the little Browning copies. Bauer in the pic, but the PSA is identical.
