BS Osprey/NC Star/ATN/(Fill in the blank) are all basically the same chinese junk. The damned scopes tubes and erectors look identical. The bulbous look of the ocular housing...same old crap. Save yourself some grief and buy a trusted brand.

Accuracy I think it's funny when people start arguing about which HANDGUN is the most accurate. HANDGUNS are for emergencies you don't see coming...a total surprise. If you even have an inkling that the feces is about to hit the rotating oscillator you should be breaking out real firepower...

Why such a long SA pull on DA semis? Attorneys.

Because I want to.

After shooting .45 Super rounds out of a H&K Tactical, and comparing the recoil to that of a Para Ordnance P-15 I had converted to 45 Super, I believe the polymer frame has the largest influence on recoil reduction.

Safety FIRST, LAST and ALWAYS You're not trained (I am assuming you are not a Peace Officer) to do anything but what the 2nd poster said. Keep him covered until the police arrive; if he dies as a result of his conduct...too bad so sad. If you were a Peace Officer, you would cuff him as...

Pillar-bedded Springfield M1A SOCOM, and optics, and my Glock 20 with the extended 6" slide and barrel.

Depression I've seen varying statements regarding depression in this thread to the effect that we, as patients/consumers, are being unnecessarily prescribed medications for the depression. One poster even said he'll never take a chemical that alters the way his brain works (do you ever drink...

Glock Glock all the way. Put a fulcrum trigger and a race connector in one and it loses that "toy" feel (bad thing to think of a deadly weapon as a toy). The Glock ergonomics are perfect for me. No other handgun I've held/shot over the last 35 years has a more natural point of aim for...

Training vs. Hardening Kindrox, Spirit got his panties in a wad because nearly everyone told him to concentrate on training and forgo trying to "harden" an already existing structure. Basically, you train so you can stop a threat of lethal force with lethal force. If you want to have a...

I take it that among your areas of little to no experience include building structures and the associated costs. Your suggestions cost MONEY. I don't care whether you incorporate bullet-proof walls during the building, or convert the walls after the fact; it's gonna cost a bundle. Home...

Rottweiler I have one word for ya; Rottweiler I am in no way trying to downplay the need for training. If one intends to use a firearm as a means of self-defense or defense of an innocent third party, then one has an absolute obligation to society to train and train and train in realistic (as...

You Win! You win. A gold-plated Lorcin. I wonder which would have melted first: Gold Pot metal Plastic

Good cleaning Be sure and thoroughly clean the bolt and the firing pin chamber, firing pin, and firing pin spring. I had an old Mossberg 500 that was so old it only had one action bar. But it shot and shot and shot. It was the first gun that was actually MINE. My dad paid $50.00 for it. I...

False Statement Where did I make a false statement?

Or, more recently, Katrina.

*sigh* Yeah. I know. I attended too many autopsies to even begin to try and refute such a fatalistic, introspective statement. :banghead:

Was there really any need for the hyperbole? I never said that. If you want to think I'm paranoid that's OK. However, don't mischaraterize what I write.

The Dark figure of Crime What you refer to as unreported crime is collectively known as the Dark Figure of Crime. We can't know the exact %, but criminologists suggest it is somewhere between 50% and 60%. Official crime data is obtained from the FBI Uniform Crime Report (UCR). Agencies...

CNS Hit 99% of handguns are inherently underpowered. A handgun is for emergencies you don't see coming. Realistically, if you keep that mindset (it's a good one), the only things that will stop you are a CNS hit or you bleed out.
