My P220 does that too sometimes. I think it's normal.

My CSM yelled at me for carrying a Glock Knife on my Interceptor in Iraq.

M39 receiver marked 1905

US Special Forces have been training the Ethiopian military for a mission like this for years. I'm surprised the media isn't playing up this angle about the US in another war overseas. The US is providing satellite intelligence and probably logistical support, fuel etc... I'm sure most...

Which enemy was that that used .45 or 9mm? :confused: Russia and China are adopting 9mm now.

What about the PKM? That is one of the best machineguns ever built. Ask Blackwater.

Back in ye olde days, government gun manufacturers put serial numbers on everything: the bolt, the stock, the barrel you name it. Basically "numbers matching" means the gun has the same parts it had when it left the factory. A lot of times governments would recycle old guns by using the good...

From personal experience, Aluminum armor is crap. At high enough temperature it becomes a fuel.

I agree with you 100% on that. However, I don't agree that there is a huge demand for manual safeties on Glocks. Glock isn't unique in that respect, SIG Sauer for example.

Glock made pistols with external safeties for the Tasmanian police. The police commissioner thought the 5.5 lbs trigger pull was too light to rely on a trigger safety. Those are the only pistols Glock has produced with manual safeties. Glock has sold well over 2 million pistols. So I...

Lower parts http://www.del-ton.com/nw_lowerparts.aspx A1 upper parts http://www.del-ton.com/nw_a1_upper_parts.aspx They have almost everything you mentioned

The only armor that is restricted to civilian purchase are the SAPI (Small arms protective insert) plate class 3(7.62mm) and class 4(7.62mm AP). You can only buy them as an employee of the US government (Blackwater, US military etc...) However, you can buy them used without restriction. You...

Hedge your bets. Buy a stripped ar-15 lower. Only a federal ban would prevent it from being grandfathered in. They can be had for just under $100. Consider it an investment.

Bush had publicly stated that he would sign an AWB back when it was about to sunset. I don't know if he was just posturing because he knew a republican house wouldn't pass it or what. I wouldn't put it past him though. Bush is a conservative in wolfs clothing. Feinstein and Pelosi will push...

If you compare the Glock to the SIGPRO there is no real difference in quality or bang for the buck as both are priced very similar. The alloy frame SIGs cost quite bit more and give you options that the Glock doesn't have like DA/SA. It comes down to whether you want a hammer or not...
