    Trigger upgrade questions for P320

    So.... My AWESOME wife got me a P320 X-Carry! I know, I know, I'm a VERY lucky man. :) Well, being the trigger snob that I am, I'm always curious if a factory trigger can be improved on. Well, I sprung for the Apex kit, and yeah, it does a great job taking out take-up, but just like...

    Getting ready for my first Big Bore AR.

    I've ordered several times from Delta Team Tactical, and they have some pretty nice prices. One item was not as I expected, and the return process was super easy and smooth. I've been VERY pleased with them. Just my experience. PE

    off-duty Brazilian cop shoots two armed robbers dead while holding his baby

    We use a weighted, home-made 'doll' to simulate what GEM ^^^ is referring to. I wouldn't dare pass judgment against the cop/dad in this case, as I wasn't there, or privy to ALL of the details that some have suggested would likely have been in play. Never been to Brazil, don't know what that's...

    Defensive handgun class in Seattle WA area

    Classroom location is in the South Everett area. F.C. uses a local business who allows us to hold the classes in the evening time in their facility. The range day is not at any local range. On range days, students meet in the Bothell area, and can carpool/caravan to the range location, approx...

    USCCA april 13,14,15

    I am a member as well. I did not attend this year, and I do not have plans to attend PA next year. After several conversations with our group's resident Atty, I also am in the camp who believes the insurance they offer is a wise investment, weather you CC or not - defending your family at home...

    Time to go on offense to take care of this mass shooting problem

    I respectfully disagree with the statement that 'arming teachers is not a good idea....'. I actually believe that arming the teachers who are 1) willing & 2) capable to complete and PASS a high-level series of courses designed for school type building and grounds scenarios will be the single...

    NRA, TIME TO ACT How many have e mailed??

    I have called Senators Cantwell and Murray, both very liberal Democrats from Washington State. Left a polite and respectful voicemail for Ms. Murray, and spoke kindly with a real person who answered the phone for Ms. Cantwell. PE

    Time to go on offense to take care of this mass shooting problem

    Too many posts to quote them all, but I'd like to offer a general reply to those discussing the idea of knowing how effective an armed teacher/administrator/school employee may or would be: There are multiple national level courses that teach high-level firearm training. It's been proven...

    Time to go on offense to take care of this mass shooting problem

    Absolutely! Personally, I've been an advocate of this for years. 1) they get their tools of choice, 100% paid for (firearm, 2 holsters, magazines, 2 belts) 2) they get REAL training. Cops take their issued box of practice ammo (or whatever their dept has decided they get) to a target range...

    Just sharing my "tack" when debating people who want semi-auto rifles banned citing mass events

    CoalTrain: I think I'm correctly understanding your full point, but forgive me if I'm not. While I'm not a mental health professional, I personally think there is a distinction between: 1) someone who thinks that taking their own life is their best option to the problems they believe they...

    New Sig P 365, looks interesting

    Got this link via some daily email I get, at the moment, I do forget what org actually sent it out. But, part way down, there is a shadow of the p365, and they used an outline of several other sub-compacts, in different colors. They lined up the muzzles, and the bore-axis. I've been very...

    HK VP9 trigger versus Glocks?

    I have owned, I think, 5 Glocks. Still own 3 (although one is my wifes - her choice) Growing up shooting single action autos, (mostly 1911), I really don't like the Glock triggers, any generation. The 3 we have now, all have Ghost parts in them, and that made them much better, but I still...

    AR Builds -- What Parts Did You Choose and Why??

    OK, I'll play along... but my offering is more of what I have done along the way, and learning from what I didn't like, and mistakes that I believe I made. It's definitely a work-in-progress: I started my first AR with a fully assembled, Bushmaster. Got a decent deal (at the time) via a...

    'Scope choice for AR10?

    Similar to your planned build, I'll be using an Aero upper. I'm also going with an Aero lower, and for my first upper, I plan on using a Vortex scope. I just posted in another thread, about a Vortex unit I'm wanting to put on my M1A, but these will be the first two Vortex products I've tried...

    Scope Suggestions for M1A

    I was excited to read the posts here, as I'm finally deciding what I want to put on my M1A. I chose to go with the Vortex Strikefire, red dot, and put a magnifier with it. My particular gun, is the M1A action dropped into a SAGE EBR stock/chassis. I had to swap out the op-rod guide block to...

    Strikers on the Nightstand

    I completely agree!!! I should have made that clear in my post. Again, that couple did have multiple dogs, (some folks consider that a reliable early-warning tool) but they were distracted by doggie treats. PE

    Are We Fighting Gun Control Wrong?

    The founding fathers did not intend for our political system to be only a two-party system. It was intended to be a 'many-party' system, with a peaceful revolution every 4 years. This concept would result in less of a linear continuum, and a more balanced and collective approach. Also, it was...

    Are We Fighting Gun Control Wrong?

    To the mods, thanks for letting this thread happen. 1st Marine, I respectfully disagree with how you worded this. Because this was an open-air event, the person who wished to do harm had vantage and access via their weapon(s) of choice, without any security restrictions. I wasn't there, so I...

    Strikers on the Nightstand

    Good question from the OP... I'll share a story. This did NOT happen to me, but I know the guy personally, and while I consider him a friend, it would be misleading to imply we were/are super close. Still have his number in my phone. I will NOT share names. One night, a number of years ago...
