    Funny gun shop stories

    He's more right than wrong. About 3 or four years ago S&W dropped the K frame .357 Magnum. The K frame was never designed for a steady diet of Magnum loads and doesn't stand up very well to it. The most often problem was/is the forcing cone splitting. The 125 JHP also added flame cutting of...

    bad guys with body armour

    Not really. A level IIA vest will give decent protection from slashes and stuff, as well as a variety of blunt trauma (including steering wheels in an auto accident), but a good thrust from a decent blade will go through a vest where the trauma plate is not protecting the material. A broadhead...

    Would you take the shot?

    I would probably take more than one.

    Need help selecting film about war for 9/10th grade HS students

    Saving Private Ryan. Though some of the technical stuff is off, it is high with emotion. Big Red One and Glory are a couple others to consider. Band of Brothers, if time permits. A Bridge Too Far. There are a lot of good ones out there.

    1911 vs. Glock fight #3,987,93

    It seems that both sides got some 'splainin' to do. The Glock isn't the "perfection" their marketing people claim, but is as good as any other pistol out there, especially in 9mm. The 1911 problem is that it is the most copied design in the world, some really good, some not so good and some...

    How I love me some California, and the DOJ (and Turners Outdoors)

    That may be a DOJ problem as well. When a consignment DROS is done there is a 30 day exemption block. When it is checked it will automatically exempt you from the 30 days from the last transaction, but future ones sometimes get overlooked. Call the DOJ at the number on the rejection notice...

    Navy folks, question about firearms qualifications

    It's cool. Quite a few of my old shipmates are getting volunteered to go with the Army. The Nav is so short they are offereing $20,000 for prior service HM 8404. And I may be dumb enough to take it. I just need to loose a little more weight. Edit to Add: TonyK- I just downloaded the...

    Navy folks, question about firearms qualifications

    Open Mouth, Insert Foot Things have changed. For the better. Someone must have figured out it may be a good idea to actually listen to the chiefs. But there are still two courses of fire available. One for the ribbon and a (slightly) harder one for the devices/medal. It is now called...

    Yeah, but sometimes we got to shoot the floating trash from the fantail. So there! :neener:

    Details of double tapping?

    Way back when I was taught to double tap it was two aimed shots done quickly. Now that seems to describe controlled pairs and double tap is a bad word. Different title without the pay increase. The grip is important but don't get too caught up in where your toes are pointed or what angle...

    Navy folks, question about firearms qualifications

    Funding can be an issue for some commands for qualification. By qualification, I mean to get the ribbons, there is more bureaucratic stuff involved for actual qualification. During the Clinton years there were entire years where there wasn't enough budgeted money to get qualified for...
