  1. I am unsure whether to be relieved or sad that my cousin's daughter lost Miss America last night.

      I don't mind a bias as long as it is a reasoned and declared bias. I think he is consistent, and I know where he/they are coming from. I also think they are trustworthy in their reporting of facts. Selection of which to report will match their ideology. It's still a great series and I am happy to contribute to the making of it. -- I need to re up onthe forum contribution after my next client. It's probably been a while.

      Thanks. He was right though. Mine always do get long and convoluted. I'm fine with information sources that have different biases than mine. I just like to know where they are coming from. I think I do now for Indy and crew.

  4. On my way to a CLE on firearms. I might have to provide the speaking points on I-594

      Interestingly I learned a bit about how the idiot regs work for CCW from a federal perspective. "Any federal building"... = any building where federal employees regularly work. So the hotdog stand at a national park is off limits, but you are probably OK in the outhouse, unless it is attatched to a gift shop or somethng. The park itself is OK so long as it would be in the state anyway.

      Pretty well. I should have brought biz cards. I learned a few things, and really made a good showing of working knowledge of NFA stuff and the I-594 malarkey. I think I was able to help increase the general understanding of how these things work/ don't work.

      In theory. The bill text isn't up yet and it hasn't been mutilated by committee yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it were adjusted not to be retroactive. Not that the president would sign off on it even if it somehow made it past both chambers.

  10. I did a new video:

  11. Did an IDPA non-sanctioned fun shoot this morning. The S12 and about 28 slugs on one small stage made an impression.

      I already knew the mag pouch was hokey. As I said, it has been my intent to do the belt clips for a while. It is interesting how much the simple addition of a timer makes one's skills degrade. Normally I can double tap at those distances and keep my shots on a 5" steel disc. In the matches, doing a controlled pair = 8-10" group that is 6" low.

      Honestly, I rushed it. they were all on target, doing mozambiqes, but my groups were sloppy. Also, I used that zildjian pouch I made half as a joke and had trouble getting the SGM mag to pull free. Time to make the belt clips. I just need some industrial velcro.

  13. I'm finally a competitor of sorts. I did an IDPA match last Sunday and met the organizer of a local 3 gun match. Hopefully I can start doing both regularly.

      That's fun too. I actually want to be forced to use cover. I don't necessarily agree with the rationale behind some of the reload rules, but I do like how inexpensive IDPA is. It's nice to actually really have a chance to compete with what I carry.

      Maybe- if he doesn't hurt himself first, or accidentally make something illegal. I've seen a couple guys like him who are probably making zip guns classed as AOW.

       

      the kid is doing a lot of things which could get himself hurt too though. Barrel is not pressure rated. his gun could fire incorrectly indexed, his wrist is exposed to cylender gap blast. That could be mitigated with a nagant revolver type action that uses the unfolding shell to bridge the gap though maybe.

      I wish I had known. I would have picked up some more.

       

      That's still cheaper than when they first came into US around 2008 I bought my first pack for novelty at $14.99/5, and that was easily a third of what some places were charging. I've been waiting to see those frangibles in US for a while. look up their watermellon promo video. That is also the first I've seen 3"

      I meant SGammo for the regular good deals. I hope you are wrong about availability. I wanted to order a couple cases sometime after I get a job.

      I haven't looked in a few months, but last time I did, they were actually cheaper than rem sluggers on aim surplus. Correction the solids were (monolit). FYI, the Dupo 28 is the lighter version. Hexolit 32 is the 1 1/8 oz version. I've got a few of each and had bought some for my cousin and also for my father to keep the bears in check in Alaska. There used to be some videos on youtube of Eastern Bloc bear and hog hunts with those, and-- well let's just say you didn't need a...
