High Exposure

For sale right here at NJGF.

Looks like BarSto it is then. I have a BarSto barrel in a .45 on a 1911 - it’s flawless. My buddy has a G23 with a BarSto barrel - also flawless and he shoots it a lot. He sent his gun to BarSto and had them fit it for him.

Yes! I’m in - depending on Wx.

Looks like Sig discontinued that item. Bar-Sto makes one but it requires some minor fitting. EBay has a bunch of new old stock Sig P239 Conversion barrels for sale.

How are you on here now? If it’s your phone, you should be able to recover the password that way.

Photo of the totality my wife took with her SLR: There was some bright pink/ruby light at about 7 o'clock that was really cool. You can see a hint of it in the photo. Moment of totality looking West (From the VT side towards Plattsburgh NY) over Lake Champlain: If you zoom in, you can see Venus at 5 o’clock a little less than halfway between the eclipse and the mountains.

Ok. That was awesome!

Took the wife and kid up to Lake Champlain (South Hero, VT) for a few days to see the eclipse from the totality zone. It is so nice and calm here. The weather is crisp (going to be 61 today, but we had snow flurries on Saturday) and clear. We booked our place last spring - so we got a cheap rate. Got our glasses when we booked our cottage. Hope everyone enjoys it and stays safe!

Wouldn’t say he was solely responsible in developing that as a rule. Or that he was the only one teaching it. I mean, on its face, Rule Three seems to be a pretty self evident rule - until you become a firearms instructor and see how dumb people get when they pick up a gun. Also, if you watch any of the old training videos for Military or LE (WWII and Korea era) you will see some pretty disturbing gun handling being taught - or at any rate, not corrected. But, he was the one to condense the rules down to only four (I have seen accounts of instructors having over a dozen “safety” rules) and to push them to be a universal standard. He is also responsible for the creation of the 4 conditions of readiness, the color code of situational awareness, and is the primary creator of the modern technique of handgun shooting as we currently know it.

I hope so. If I could only change one NJ Gun Law, it would be to deep six any and all magazine restrictions. That law, in my opinion, has the greatest effect on gun owners in our state.

Rule 3 as we know it didn’t become universal until 1976 when Cooper started teaching it. Before then, trigger finger disciple as a universal rule was non existent. The common belief was the faster you could touch the trigger, the better. A lot of the holster designs are “classic” and made more for looks than utility - in my opinion. Personally, if you are carrying in a holster that doesn’t cover the trigger, you are behind the power curve. You have either not kept up with modern TTPs or you care more about appearance than function. Either way - that’s a no-go in my book.

Re: the Clip Draw - I didn’t think anyone actually used them. I’m all about AIWB, but there is no way in hell I’m carrying a gun at appendix without the trigger being covered. As to the leather - I don’t think I’ve ever seen holsters like that with the trigger exposed. Seems counter-intuitive to me.
