Gunny: (big smile) you do. now do ya.

 

Me: Yes, and I want to thank you for your serive.

 

Gunny: My service was a pleasure boys

 

Me: Thank you, Good Night and Good luck

 

Regulator: See you tomorrow.

 

haha.. He was awesome and it went nice. Don and I were playing right next to him.

 

Gents,

Oh, gott go. Time to go see SS.

 

Peace out homie! Video's later...

Ok. Some summaries for day 1 of shot show.

 

Had a blast.

 

Got here around 3pm, met up with Tony (tj sporting arms), Bry@n and Mrs, and Regulator. Tony's business partner joined us later.

 

Smith & Wesson.

I am quite impressed. In fact... really impressed and would say their new product intros were some of the most significant of all the major vendors.

 

M&P 22. Yes... a 22 caliber version of the popular M&P pistol. Great build quality. Designed and built by Walther... made in Germany. Looks exactly like the M&P 9. Slide is very good quality. Frame itself feels exactly like the originals. I like the frame mounted safety too. Great gun. Cant wait.

 

Smith Wesson Governor - an improved Taurus Judge. Awesome build quality. Unlike the Taurus... this will fire not only 410 and 45 LC, it will also fire 45 ACP! Sweet Smith & Wesson trigger to boot.

 

Walther PPQ - Not tooo bad. the selling point is good ergonomics, think of Hk P30. Crisp 5lb trigger, and a very very very short reset. They claim .1" reset. Think HkP30 ergonomics, shoots like an M&P 9mm. Avail in 15 round 9mm, or 12? round 40 SW.

 

 

Ruger LC9 - This pistol is Tiny. About size of the LCP. Aside from that... I am not impressed. The grip is way tooo thin, and I can imagine it being a pain to shoot many rounds. For a price / value for 9mm, it is a good gun, but I would rather stick to a Smith Bodyguard 380 or Sig P238. Trigger is a typical rough Ruger trigger.

 

Sig P290 - I really am not impressed. Frame is tiny, and no great way to hold it comfortably. It was not center of attention at the Sig booth.

 

Once again, impressed with overall quality of P226 and P229 elite. Great news... Sig is releasing new P210's. Classic lines.... awesome grip/fit finish. Expect a price of $1500 and up.

 

Hk - Nothing new

 

Taurus - When they copy you, (Smith Wesson), you go bigger. Taurus had a 28 guage taurus judge type gun. It was huge. Not bad a trigger.

 

I spoke with the rep about the Taurus quality control issues and warranty issues. They are not promising that there is a 4 day turnaround time.

 

What I am most impressed with though... this new to the states Turkish company, Sarsilmaz. www.sarsilmaz.com. They have plenty of CZ type clones, and claim to be OEM for companies like Remington and Winchester. I have plaid with some of them, and I must say, for their retail price point of $450 or so, totally amazing. Their star in my eyes... a CZ75 clone, in 45 ACP. 14 rounds of 45 ACP in a CZ 75 package. They will be making it soon in 10mm too.

 

These guns are imported by EAA.

 

Please search for the pics, as the internet in the hotel is slow. They should be out there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
