    Semi-auto cycle of operation

    I searched but couldn't find a thread addressing the cycle of operation. If there is one, duplicated for informational purposes, given the volume of newer enthusiasts: The semi-automatic cycle of operation is thus, in order, and one must finish before the next occurs. Basic locking breech...

    Susanna Gratia-Hupp's testimony

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4069761537893819675&p%20r=goog-sl Lest we forget, and for those who haven't seen/heard it before. If only more citizens like this existed in the eyes of the public and made their way before our leaders.

    Sarah Palin's speech

    Someone once said that politicians must be able to do three things: speak, decide, and vote. Mrs. Palin can speak. I cannot recall a better delivered speech in this election cycle. Or another, now that I think of it; at least not in some time.

    Risky, indeed

    Resist the urge to duck for cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t_1-...eature=related Risks Inc. appears aptly named. :scrutiny: Dangerous, reckless, irresponsible... the list could go on. That soemoen might stumble across it and not realize that is troubling. Or maybe I'm just...

    FAAST- video thread

    A spin off of another thread, but really irrelevant to it: I'd be interested to see videos of forum member making sub-second shots under any circumstances; from a speed rig, from concealment, from the pocket, from the gun in your hand hanging at your side... what ever. Very interested to...

    IWBA Handgun Ammunition Specification?

    FBI Test Protocal?

    What is it, you ask? Well, in case you don't know: Per the FBI's Annual Report of results of handgun ammunition testing. The FBI, after extensive research and consultation, established that a handgun bullet must consistently penetrate a minimum of 12 inches of tissue in order to...

    Shooter Rankings?

    Say you wanted to peg someone as a certain class shooter. How do you go about doing it? Is it a matter purely of results in competition, or can someone be evaluated outside of competing? If it can be done by evaluating speed and accuracy I'd be interested in what the breakdowns are. Thanks...

    Lube!!!!

    For the benefit of some who are very stingy about their lubrication: The other day a student was struggling with failures chamber a round. So we went through the usual check list. He assured me that he had appropriately oiled his pistol in the not too distant past. The problem was, upon...

    Dropped Kahr, broken recoil spring assembly

    Posted elsewhere and now here for your benefit: Not than any of you plan to, I'm sure, but avoid dropping your Kahrs (and other siilarly constructed makes) so that they land directly onto something hard causing the plastic end piece of the recoil spring assembly to break, rendering the pistol...

    Photo request

    If anyone would be kind enough to sandwich a Colt D frame between a Smith and Wesson J and K frame I'd appreciate it. Absent that, side by side to the J would be nice. Also, a shot looking down on the J and D fames side by side would be appreciated, too. Thanks in advance - Erik

    Colt NRM O1991 - My First Colt

    NRM O1991 - My First Colt I brought home my first Colt today, a NRM O1991. My family pitched in for Christmas, and under my tree I found a "gift certificate" entitling its bearer to a new firearm, subject to "credit approval." It seems my wife is distantly related to Sam Colt, and she...

    A great range day...

    I had a great day at the range. No, it wasn't that I got to fondle and shoot double rifles and a variety of big bores normally not found in the average American gun rack. Nor was it the silenced Mark 22 I had the opportunity to help sight in. Talk about normally not found in the average...

    FoxNews Morning show pro gun commentary

    This morning I was listening to the FoxNews' morning show when they hosts and guest Judge Napoliteano (sp?) broke into a pro gun dialogue for several minutes. Basically, they were analyzing the three day sentence of the man who was recently sentenced to Rikers for defending his home and family...

    G-Code paddle

    OK, so how good is the G-Code paddle? Compared to, say, the G-Code with a "traditional" belt attachment? (Basically, I'm flip-flopping on which to order. Yes, I know that I can order both. ;) ) Thanks - Erik
