    Shooting with Delta Force

    By the mid 80s though, everyone was getting new toys--I assume the byproduct of Reagan? I think my infantry unit used some of the first '249s on the recently cleared range, the bradleys, abrams, the A2s, Kevlar, M9s, UH-60s, those new boots, humvees, etc. When I got to Warrior Base in KR...

    Shooting with Delta Force

    I actually have met more people that have poo poo'ed that other people are "claiming to be X" than I've every met people claiming to be X when they're not. I've met a few SF guys through work (we hire them on as trainers/consultants--even though I do nothing related, the life skills and...

    Shooting with Delta Force

    Technically correct, he was with "1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta." (They used magazines, not clips, suppressors, not silencers, etc. ) His words "commonly referred to as Delta Force". Thanks for the technical clarification--I just assumed everyone knew that already. And...

    "What Gun Were You The Most Disappointed With?" Redux

    Perhaps my favorite handgun is my late 80s PT92. Most disappointed in the S&W 645. 2 mags, never got through both without a problem (and not even same prob, FTE, stovepipe, ftf, not fully returning to battery. Had an AMT hardballer at the same time and the 645 made the AMT look good...

    Shooting with Delta Force

    It seemedseemed like 1911s were most common, with aa smattering of Glocks, XD, SigSig, and HK. One ii didn't recognize and meant ask (looked like alike Daewoo 9 at a glance) and a Berretta 92 (even he had a 1911,but is soon to deploy so wisely focusing on the 92. But just as many problems were...

    Shooting with Delta Force

    So, I finally got some trigger time--i was invited to shoot with about 18 folks with instruction from a former SF, Delta Force guy. There's not a lot of guns I don't like (ar vs an and glock vs 1911 fueds are just dumb, I say, I love and own em all). But I have been more of a rifle guy. I'm a...

    Mini 30 who has one?

    What does that even mean? A guy at work bought one and sold it because he was disappointed with the accuracy. I take deer with my ak in the same way I would with a Mini. I think the grip of an ak makes it easier to navigate/control in brush country. Suit yourself, but I can't think of a...

    Using motor oil on guns.

    Totally get it for automotive application (drive "sports cars" - the $200 dealer oil change is an expense that I don't skimp on), but does it matter for firearm uses?

    Using motor oil on guns.

    Why the preference for synthetic? And why to this "ATF would be preferable to dino motor oil."?

    AK Trigger, Single & Double Hook

    Spot on with the change to a single hook to accommodate FA internals. Supposedly, single hook triggers can cause "painful trigger slap", but I haven't seen that issue with the dozen or so that I've fired (in 7.62, 5.45, and 5.56).

    Bigtime facepalm, CNN says Navy yard shooter had an AR15 shotgun.

    If you seriously think that a MKA 1919 isn't "close enough" to be reasonably referred to as an AR 15 shotgun, you're as guilty as drinking your own koolaid as the antigunners are. That level of semantics simply doesn't matter. (Now, I know that's not CNN's misinformed point, but stilll...)

    second ammendment being " out dated "

    Fine, it's outdated. Then update the constitution, don't ignore it. That's its purpose, that is why it has survived. That's why it's so important. IF we truly are a different world and guns are no longer to be allowed to the people, then pass an amendment. But don't you dare, as an...

    Wallmarts response to my email, not a canned answer

    About "form letters"-- 1) When you have a huge business, you hire Customer Service agents to respond. 2) You want a correct and consistent message to inquiries 3) You want to make more money in revenue than you spend It is useful to create a "standard response" that accomplishes this. If you're...

    Cnn interview said impossible to restrict semi auto weapons

    Absolutely agree that if you're legislating or advocating change then yeah, know what you're talking about. But it's a huge peeve of mine that people in gun conversation (oh I'm sorry, Rifle or Pistol or Revolver, since a Gun is a cannon piece, blahda blah) zero in on the misuse of Clip vs...

    The 223

    More speculation than anything, but those big ole' 303s and 8mms are much more than is needed for a fragile human. My "guess" is a lot of those were developed when the generals were "fighting the last war" of lined masses firing at each other. The extreme range would be of benefit. After WWII...

    What am I missing?

    The truth is, while the constitution trumps and sets the parameters of what can be made law, the court is empowered by the people and the constitution to interpret the legality or constitutionality of legislation. So, it's not what we the people interpret as constitutional, it's what those...
