I have been dealing with osteoarthritis in both of my hands. Specifically, the joint where the thumb meets the hand. Over the last 2 years, this has become a significant issue and I frequently experience pain when trying to grip things (e.g. jar lids, racking my Glock slides, weedwacking my lawn, etc.) I believe the condition stems from 30 years of typing on a computer keyboard and general wear and tear; not my shooting. While I can and do rack my Glock slides at the range, it is often uncomfortable. I cannot repeatedly do so at home if I were to, for example, want to practice dry firing. I also foresee this becoming an increasing issue as I grow older(am 64 now). This has piqued my interest in devices that can assist in racking my slides. There are two in particular that I have purchased that I wanted to share information on. These are Handi-Racker and P3Racker. I do realize there are other alternatives such as those that replace the back plate on the Glock slide. But for now, I do not want to modify my firearms in any way and am interested only in external aids that will work with all of them.. HandiRacker (www.handiracker.com): $27.49 ($19.99+7.50 S&H). Basically a solid block of polymer into which you insert your slide and push against a solid object(wall, bench, etc.) The advantages of this design is that it is simple, no moving parts, and will likely last a long time. I acquired one of these about 6 months ago to fit my Glock 26/19/34. Have used it at home as well as with a couple of airsoft pistols I have that are as hard to rack as my Glocks. The main issue I see with these is that I do not think they would be suitable at the range for safety reasons. It requires you to point the muzzle in a direction other than downrange (e.g. against the table or wall in the shooting port. I anticipate an RSO not approving of this. So I would mainly use it at home for dry-firing practice. P3Racker (www.p3racker.com). $39.95 including Shipping. I just learned of this device from a recent Guns & Ammo magazine. More expensive and more complex construction than the Handi-Racker. However, nevertheless very well made. I find it is in fact very effective in gripping and easily racking the slide on my Glocks. Should also be suitable for range use as your hand that is operating it is always behind your firearm. p.s. on a related note, for the same reasons, I have used a Maglula UpLULA in recent years to load my magazines at the range. It is indispensable. (http://www.maglula.com/product/uplula-9mm-to-45acp/)

I just finished the conversion of my Steyr USR into its AUG format.. i had GSG Coating do the Cerekote "Burnt Bronze". I am going to keep the original USR stock and grip in case i want to put it back in the original USR configuration for resale. I am going to use the original 20" USR Barrel along with the new 16"... Half the fun of an AUG is being able to switch barrels on the fly.

I guess I'm less than a model citizen. Helping run away slaves used to be illegal too.

You don't cool the hallway or the bathroom, you leave the doors open and the air will migrate in those rooms. If you want to do a ducted system you put everything up in the attic, and drop registers from the ceiling in each room. The return goes in the hallway ceiling. Downstairs is always tricky. Usually you have to sacrifice a closet for a trunk. Or you can do mini splits in the downstairs. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Inspired a post in the "Today's Weather" thread started by Zeke. Haiku - a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world. These should be about the NJGF community, firearms, and 2A. Feel free to be funny but don't be mean - this is supposed to be fun! And please no politics. I'll start: Zeke wants to be Mod. It's an honorable goal, Never give up, Zeke!

I finally cleaned my shotgun from the last shoot out. Got sick of listening to Zeke whine. Instantly remembered why I don't like it .... it's the BALLISTOL !!! It burns my throat and smells like some weird conglomeration of moldy rye bread, black licorice and ass. Need a new plan... what do you guys use?

That one is ok Glock and 1911 That is where its at Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Ballistol... I put that sh*t on everything! No joke.. I use it all over the house, the garage, etc, good stuff. On the firearms I also use Hoppes #9, G96 and Tetra grease.

No worries, let's get that gun running.

I like it.....the wife not so much....lol

To the folks that advocate trapping and relocate squirrels; WE DONT WANT YOUR SQUIRRELS! You just give other people your problem and trained the squirrels to avoid 'have a heart' traps so now we can't get rid of them. If you don't have the nerve, get an exterminator. Relocating is selfish and inconsiderate.

My man lol

Congrats that is on my wishlist. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

For most of my firearm cleaning, I use Ballistol. Also use Hoppes #9, mainly on my shotgun but only in the garage, not in the house due to it's much stronger smell. I also use Ballistol on the exterior of my Glocks metal surfaces and like how it leaves the finish. While Ballistol does have an odd smell it doesnt stink up the house. Never bothered me in any way. I don't wear nitrile gloves when using Ballistol. I do when using Hoppes. For lubrication after cleaning, I use Hoppes Synthetic Oil in a needle nose small bottle. Lastly, I use only Slip2000 on my JR Carbine since the manufacturer specifically recommends it. If I had to pick just one for everything, it would be Ballistol. It is also safe on all finishes including wood, nickel, chrome, etc.

It's funny the things we take for granted when we are young. Good info OGR. Thanks.

You know I'm joking And we know that cops can't shoot Save for useless quals

Those are fighting words Fitness challenge you and me? Just watch your hip, gramps

Oh, you got jokes, huh? Explain my Glock malfunctions Despite the ammo

Two things: One, get a revolver - That is the expected answer from me. And two, I just read the other day about a device, cleverly called: Cock Bloc, you can Google it. Just another alternative. Two Aleve on the morning of the match do it for me...for now. Adios, Pizza Bob

Back to the Haikus. Capt14k is sad, his name is too long. He meant to say... O. M. G., enough! You all need a break from here. Haikus? Are you kidding?

Nice one

Thanks! I have that pin out but am having a hard time getting it all to go back in and sit correctly. I will look at it again this weekend when I have some time. Appreciate the response!

Well, you did add the finishing touch of a properly formatted haiku into the mix. Yep, you earned the A+. You get yet another beer... or 2. Seriously, it's a beautiful project!

They're spies, just not like us. Emmit Fitzhume and Austin Milbarge. I didn't notice The Lost Boys. If it was already mentioned sorry.

Yes, if only we could pass that perfect gun control law, on top of the 1000's of existing gun laws, we could prevent incidents like this in the future. This morning The Bergen Record was calling for stricter gun laws, the pundits at MSNBC (particularly Mika) were claiming that Trump's "harsh rhetoric" is what caused this, and Chris Cuomo and Alysin Camerota over at CNN were back to droning on and on about how we need to get to the bottom of the Russian conspiracy.

She must be a saint, to keep him under control. Mrs Z works hard.

The fruits of Trump hysteria. Saw a video a few days ago of ANTIFA fruitcakes carrying rifles at a protest, in the style of Youtube Gun Ninjas. The logical progression of things. It's probably in bad taste to say this at this time but that's never stopped me: Do these people really want to get into a shooting war with the other side? He got off 50-100 shots and only hit two people, neither one fatally, with a rifle no less? Did his school rifle team hand out participation trophies or what?

There are others out there... RifleMod did these, which are very well made. No permanent modifications, and these function great. Just something to screw around with.

THE ONLY EVIL THINGS I WOULD CHANGE IS OUR SCUM BAG POLITICIANS.

I'll forgo any name calling and just throw numbers instead. NJ's democrat base is growing- period. Back in 2000 the dif in the amount of registered R vs D voters was 262K in favor of the D's. That disparity has grown every yr to 862K in 2016. Thats a genuine trend. Sure there are a lot of un-affiliated voters but that is a huge ratio to overcome. Even the past 5 potus elections have the D winning by an average of over 500K here. The only reason we have a R gov now, (R for rino) is he was able to squeek out a victory over the bumbling fool Corzine in 2009 and beat a nobody D in 2013 because the D's didnt bother to show up- by a lot.And btw, no apathy from me, I havent missed a vote in 40 yrs. And have my adult kids asking me who to vote for. Its about numbers and all the name calling wont change that. I'm pissed at the R no shows on election days as much as anyone but maybe, just maybe the numbers arent there anymore.

The P'burg cameras went offline a couple of years ago. Political hot spot between two towns over revenue from the cameras and lawyers killing them on freedom of information requests. One of the few 'wins' for the people of NJ.
