Which is why I am personally a fan of X300s extending past the muzzle. We are issued the compact TLR-1s on Glock 45s currently, and they sit flush with the muzzle. Im not a fan. Not only are they weak, I like having that standoff for contact distances on a duty pistol. My personal recommendation...

That makes me laugh, because generally it's true. I just got a new Chief and Deputy Chief (from out of state). The Chief was higher up admin in Lee County Florida, the DC I'm pretty sure stayed close enough to the line that he carried a Case load the majority of the time he was there. They...

I carried as plain clothes law enforcement for years. Witnessed a number of felonys while on duty in plain clothes. I found during that period that a Kahr CW9 was a good balance between concealability and control. No issues making long shots with it, and I could hide it easily IWB. It's what I...

As a former Marine who did a deployment on an LHD for a MEU, it always amazed me how Marine E2s and E3s (E3s often team leaders in the infantry) would be trusted with a combat load out (to include grenades) on ship quicker than a Junior Naval Surface Warfare Officer. While crossing the Atlantic...

My agency is looking to go to G45s with RMR sights. I don't personally have any handguns with optics, but I shoot in a diverse circle of acquaintances and am fairly familiar with the pros and cons. A few guys that I could shoot with well, if not outshoot most of the time, have come to surpass my...

I think this is an example of what I was trying to convey. I too have a Winchester '94 (actually Sears branded, but made by Winchester) that no one would accuse of having a "good" trigger. I'm not going to alter it, and I like the rifle, so I live with it. In living with it, I find that I can...

I'm in between your stance and "shoot and carry." I would probably have the display case and library light... but I would still shoot it some.

I also happened to stock up on components in early 2020, just as covid was coming out and before lockdowns and stupidity. Unfortunately, I didn't stock quite as well as you. I've had to re-up on primers (though my stock did get me past that $160 per 1k nonsense) and some powder. I'm near to my...

When consumer sentiment sours, it is quite common for prices for big ticket, extravagant, and highly collectible items to... "correct" to varying degrees. Kinda like when there is an influx of extra cash (looking at you government stimulus), it's common for those prices to increase...

Generally no, it should punch out from either direction. Tapered dovetails are possible, and I'm sure there is one out there somewhere, but I dare say 95%+ aren't. Machining a tapered dovetail is much more complex, there are almost no advantages, and there are disadvantages (lack of adjustment...

This best describes my opinion, though ill nitpick one thing. I dont think bad triggers make you better per se, but i do think they can make you more well rounded. Years ago, before i got into collecting C&R, i wanted all of my firearms to have the best trigger possible. I have worked on 1911...

@Random 8 thanks for sharing that. I'm glad Soapy's rifle found it's way into hands that will appreciate it. Edit to add: And yes believe it or not these rifles often ARE shooters. I have a Type 99 (no mum, but still kind of a good story as it was given to me by a total stranger) that is one of...

Always wanted a bowling ball mortar... one day

Are optics allowed in service rifle now???

I've never seen a hang fire with a centerfire cartridge. Even shooting BP (including flintlocks), the worst I have gotten was hiss/boom occurring in a fraction of a second. I'm convinced that the modern shooting fundamental concept of follow through has its origins a,, the way back to flintlocks

The photo is so grainy that I can't see the mum. But it doesn't surprise me that rifle wears one. The overwhelming vast majority of Arisakas that came to the US were turned in at the end of hostilities between the US and Japan. It was a condition of their surrender. The Japanese ground the mum...

I learned something new! That's a slick trick

Had that happen on ebay a few times. Started as a penny auction, and the postings usually had descriptions that were a little abnormal for the item sp it wouldn't come up using normal search phrases. I won a clean imei working iPhone in 2009 for $80.00. They were going routinely for 300+ at the...

I also agree with Military or LE experience =/= good shooter / safe firearms handling. I was infantry in the Marine Corps, and we were adamant about safety. There was still always those guys that screwed it up. We usually could farm them out to push paper in an S shop somewhere. Same with LE...

I've had very good luck both buying and selling on GB. There are things to watch out for, but generally most folks on GB do the right thing. Every firearm I've purchased on GB has been in at least as good of condition as was depicted and was listed at a price I was willing to pay. I've gotten a...
