    Glock Oiling, How Dry

    I agree. When it comes to range sessions, a little 'extra' lubricant can't hurt—as long as the gun isn't dripping wet. I do it and consider it to be a little 'extra' insurance against wear. The only deviation from Glock's lubrication recommendations that I make is that I do use a swab to leave...

    Glock Oiling, How Dry

    These work well; they're what I use when direct application is needed. https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/general-gunsmith-tools/shop-supplies/needle-oiler-bottles/

    Glock Oiling, How Dry

    I just dampen a cotton swab with lubricant (Break Free LP, in my case), and apply a light film that just wets the surface of the recommended lubrication points. The process leaves the right amount of lubricant and migration, if there is any, is minimal.

    Is there really that much difference 115 or 124gr for the 9mm

    The problem with assuming ceteris paribus (all things being equal) is that they almost never are. Action, barrel length, bore axis are not components of the Power Factor equation which only computes the momentum (bullet mass multiplied by bullet velocity) of the bullet itself.

    Is there really that much difference 115 or 124gr for the 9mm

    Power Factor does not consider the mass of the firearm, so no, the equation for Power Factor does not correctly compute recoil.

    Is there really that much difference 115 or 124gr for the 9mm

    When asking about the difference between 115-grain and 124-grain JHPs, I s'pose that it might be advisable to define the 'difference' that you are concerned with? If that ''difference' is the terminal performance of JHP ammunition in either weight, the mass of the bullet is just one of three...

    What 9mm Defensive Ammunition do You Carry?

    HST or Gold Dot dependent upon what pistol (and caliber) I am carrying; both are great designs with many years-long track records. If I (unintentionally) led you believe that I loaded both HST and Gold Dot JHPs into the same pistol/magazine at the same time, that is simply not the case and I...

    M2 Ball Yaw?

    Well, if anyone would know, it would have to be the CMP! ;) :thumbup:

    357 Magnum vs 5.56x45 in carbines

    Oh, good Heavens. Our military surgeons didn't operate only on US personnel. Plenty of NVA/VC enemy combatants who survived battle received surgical intervention courtesy of our Army hospitals and the surgeons assigned to them. Guess what caliber the vast majority of those enemy combatants were...

    357 Magnum vs 5.56x45 in carbines

    You will need evidence to do that; unsupported opinion is insufficient. Sharing the knowledge that you've acquired elsewhere would be a fine way to do so. It's a perfectly reasonable request.

    357 Magnum vs 5.56x45 in carbines

    The claims made in the Effective Game Killing article remind me of when Courtney attempted to convince anyone who would listen to him that his newly coined term BPW (blast pressure wave) was a remote wounding mechanism when in fact it was really nothing more than the Hugoniot shock front that...

    Heavy winter clothing and bullet performance

    None of these statements does anything to prove that the Clear Ballistics Gel product is a valid soft tissue simulant.

    Heavy winter clothing and bullet performance

    Nope. I am not in any position to ''deem valid'' any of the research or researchers that I have referenced, and neither are you. Their professional credentials, acumen, and research stands on its own. You may not agree with it, but there it is. While the LeHigh testing is certainly valid for...

    Heavy winter clothing and bullet performance

    That's conjecture. Although the LeHigh tests that you've provided are conducted in 10% ordnance gelatin, what occurred in the OP's test is not dependent upon what happened in the LeHigh test. That is to say, neither the OP's test nor the LeHigh tests have anything to do with the other. Fabric...

    Heavy winter clothing and bullet performance

    Unfortunately, the Clear Ballistics Gel product introduces a confounding factor into the test so we will never know if the higher dynamic pressure produced by a valid soft tissue simulant would have dislodged the obstruction from the HST's cavity and initiated expansion. The IWBA heavy clothing...

    Heavy winter clothing and bullet performance

    The failure of the HST design in any test that relies upon the Clear Ballistics Gel product as a test medium offers an inaccurate representation of its capabilities that can only result in faulty conclusions at best. The actual field performance of the HST proves otherwise. Because the Clear...

    Probably soaked in fire retardant, too. It's for the children.

    Would you rely on an AK as your primary defensive rifle?

    Since my primary defensive rifle is an Arsenal SAM7R, I suppose that I do rely on an AK in that role.
