Short answer..... No Reality ...... who the heck would know....

My AR is my go to home defense firearm.. it is light weight.. has 30 rounds of ammo in one magazine.. has a light, sling, and optic as well for precise shots if needed.. and is putting out a rifle round.. which has proved to have relative mitigated risk factor when considering collateral damage post interior wall.. has very low recoil for rapid follow up shots if needed.. The gun is also absurdly reliable.. and has gone many range sessions on end.. with tons of rounds.. and no cleaning.. and just keeps on running.. There is no firearm more suited for the job..

For sure..... Anything can.... That is my point.... but don't bash the Glockoids... In Patton's case, guess the Swartz wasn't with him that day. LMAO...

It still amazes me how ridiculous this all is. Makes me thankful for not having to worry about all this. I really hope the national concealed carry passes. Too many innocent people get jammed up. I am driving from NJ to SC tomorrow and I will be carrying the whole way down and while I am there.

Here we have a new Syfy called Glocknado.... Look at those teeth! Here is one that landed on a rubber tire. Whoa! Another Syfy. When will it end? Here we have a 40 ' Glockaconda. Imagine your ribs breaking as it crushes you. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji481][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Just throw it over the berm!

I'd find someone else to do your installs.

No, you WILL be caught and GO TO PRISON!!! Srsly, just do what you need to do, and keep your mouth shut

I know for a fact that the NJSP does not conduct any test to measure the flash produced or hidden by any muzzle device. They do rely heavily on the description and details provided by the manufacturer when forming their opinion on what kind of device is attached to a particular muzzle.

First, I'm not trying to start a pissing match. But all is fair in love and war. Now you started the satire stuff. I take all this very seriously, but you always seem to jump in and make Glock or Surefire the top turd to solve all problems. For once, let me see you recommend something outside of Glock and Streamlight. My argument with you is there seems to never be a second place winner. You don't always realize that John Q. are not all hard runners in the field. There is nothing wrong with Streamlight. There is nothing wrong with Glocks either but you never defend any second place holders. If every gun was that bad, we would not have the plethora of guns in peoples possessions that we do. Many of which they are very happy with. I've had Colts, HKs, Beretta, Remington, etc for years. Some where ran harder than others, but never catastrophic failures. Hell, worse case I had was a Browning Hi-Power that blew a sear and went full auto. Startled the hell out of me. Easy fix and back to normal. I'm not saying there are not catastrophic failures. With the age of the internet and more gun owners than ever, we are more likely to see more failures. Maybe there were a lot before the internet and because lack of media, we never knew about them. Look how many times Elmer Fudd blew up his shot gun.[emoji6] So yea, show me different guns that blew their cookies. Could care less. I know they are there. But you are running a major Lemonade Stand on a corner without a permit and secretly selling Koolade from under the stand and nothing else. Get my drift? And just because you know or seen handfuls of Kimber failures, Sigs, etc., compared to the enormous multitude of any given model in the field, your witnessed scenarios are a flea on this planets arse. Hard to find with the Hubble at that. [emoji57] My advice to anyone? Going to run it hard, just want to be a fanboy or scared anything else will poop its pants. Buy a Glock. Otherwise, when you do ask someone what to buy, do your homework first. Then come here, explain what you want to use it for and get opinions. Just remember the cliche about opinions. [emoji16]🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻Tadaa! Now that I got that off my chest. Carry on. [emoji51] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

So... Should I start posting pics of Kaboomed Sigs? They are out there you know.... And 1911s, and S&Ws, and HKs, and revolvers, and, and, and..... you get the idea. But that's not what this is about. This thread is about Sig and their latest fuckup and their following coverup of said fuckup. Some key statements that have me 99% convinced Sig is sucking it hard on this issue and knows it: "SIG SAUER is offering these enhancements to its customers." Emphasis mine. I get that this may be legalese, but they should not be OFFERING this as an ENHANCEMENT when without it the weapon is unsafe. They also refer to it as a "Voluntary Upgrade" when referring to the MHS version of the pistol. That language implies that this is not a necessary and mandatory change to ensure a safe firearm. Further, I won't be surprised if the "plan" includes paying for shipping and/or waiting an exorbitant amount of time to get my pistol back. "The M17 variant of the P320, selected by the US. Government as the US. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS), is not affected by the Voluntary Upgrade." So is this because Sig submitted a version of the 320 that isn't subject to this flaw? That would imply they knew about this problem a year ago at least and did nothing about it until "caught". Or is it because they intend to change the design of the pistol before supplying them? Sig is stating that this is an inherent problem in all firearms. For their first time ever they printed a drop warning in their product manuals. But they didn't know? C'mon. The other part that disturbs me is that the Dallas PD memo is leaked on 08-03-2017, Which Mr Grey then issues a rebuttal to and on 08-07-2017 the video by Omaha Outdoor is released showing that there is a issue. Then on 08-08-2017 they have an ironclad fix........ If the fix has been designed and tested, then they had to know about this for months. There is no way that in 24 hours they designed a fix and tested it to satisfaction. There is no possible way. Personally, I would not trust a company that sold me a known defective product to now fix it for me. They have lied. They have ridiculed those who pointed out the flaw. They are calling the repair of a major safety hazard an "Upgrade" "enhancement" and "voluntary". Clownshoes.

I'd go AR if I could find a good solution for discretely and securely storing it. A single pistol safe is much easier to conceal in a closet/drawer/etc. right now pistol for emergent and expected event. AR for SHTF when I have more time to get to the safe.

Typical Glock-A-Holics..... Want some more Koolaid?

This week on GFHR #324 Dan Schmutter breaks down the D.C. "May Issue" carry law being struck down in detail http://gunforhire.com/blog/2017/08/13/gun-hire-radio-broadcast-episode-324/

This is a cautionary tale for the members of this forum that are new to guns and shooting, or those just venturing into unknown territory; i.e. Buying a revolver after shooting nothing but semi-autos. Make sure that the ammunition that you buy is the correct ammunition for the gun. Check in the owner’s manual (if you have one, if not, either download one from the net or contact the manufacturer and they will send you one for free) to make sure that the ammo you are buying is appropriate for the gun. The impetus for this post is a situation that has presented itself twice to me in the process of selling some ammunition. The first time at a gun show several months ago and, most recently, on here, yesterday. The ammunition in question is for .38 Super caliber guns. I was overjoyed at the gun show when somebody came to the table, saw my ammo displayed, and told me that they wanted to buy it all. .38 Super is a somewhat obscure caliber, but one that is coveted by a cadre of 1911 enthusiasts. I’m a good guy, so I inquired of my potential buyer what gun he had chambered for .38 Super? He responded that it was for his buddy that had a revolver, for which it was hard to find ammo. That was the first red flag, for AFAIK, there are only about 900 revolvers extant, that are factory chambered for this round. So I pressed further. In the end, it turns out that the revolver was a S&W Victory model chambered for .38 S&W or, as the British called it .38/200. Yesterday, I got a response to my current ad, here on the forum. Again, someone wanting to buy the entire lot. In our back and forth communication, I got the impression that he was new to either shooting in general or this caliber specifically. I queried if he realized that this was .38 Super, not .38 Special, to which he asked if I thought this ammo would give his Ruger .357 Mag “issues”. What should be taken away from these two scenarios is that you need to be careful what you’re buying. Not everybody is a nice guy like me – LOL. If you inadvertently buy the wrong ammo at a retail store, or the counter guy gives you the wrong ammo (it happens), it is incumbent on the buyer to know what they have and whether they’ve been handed the correct ammo. At a retail outlet there are no refunds or exchanges on ammunition. If your/their mistake goes unnoticed, at best, it could result in ammo that just plain does not fit or function in the intended firearm or performs sub-optimally, or at worst, do grievous damage to the firearm, or even worse yet, to you. There are many, many calibers that either sound very similar – because most have some relationship to bullet diameter – or, have multiple designations for the same caliber. So caveat emptor. Adios, Pizza Bob

The funny thing is, the 320 isnt/hasnt/wont be around long enough to be involved in anything like those pictures. Muwhahahaha

WOW John! From the looks of those pix it appears my black powder Cap & Ball revolver, with chambers loaded to the max, is in fact, SAFER than a Glock (and my revolvers use EXPLOSIVES instead of smokeless powder) Anything mechanical can break. General George S. Patton was at a dinner party with his girlfriend. Patton's cocked & locked(?) 1911 was being carried "Mexican Style" (no holster, gun in waistband). During dinner, it somehow became dislodged & fell to the floor, discharging. Patton yelled for everyone to hit the deck because someone fired a shot at the dinner party!!! None of them knew the truth 'cept for Patton. It was at THAT time Patton decided to opt for his soon-to-be-famous Model 1873 Single Action Colt .45 Peacemakers chambered in .45 Long Colt (.45LC today).

Same here... any bolt related to optics gets done. Didn't do the knob on the Aimpoint mount, since it has a tension feature built in. I believe the screws on the mount/riser have Loctite on them, from the factory. Recoil will loosen screws. Don't care how tight you go. Loctite and torque wrench should be in everyone's toolbox.

It's a good thing that jcpg didn't have a P320 exactly 5 years ago.

Do it

Don't make me started playing the blown up Glock cards my friend. [emoji6] I will expose you to everyone that you are a stock holder in Glock and Surefire. [emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Peel, Best way to learn is by DOING IT! Go have some fun! Lots of women & kids enjoy shooting steel. Everybody misses, so don't let that concern you. Only thing they care about is SAFETY. 3rd Sunday Steel Match is called "Real Deal Steel", and it has a lower round count of just 125 if ya don't miss, so bring at least 200 rounds to shoot the match. It's just 5 stages x 5 plates per stage x 5 runs per stage, so 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 minimum round count. Whatever .22 pistol you have, most likely someone else will have extra mags to LOAN YOU! Things like that are common & can be arranged in advance. I have friends that go to every match. One facebook post will get me several offers of loaner mags, so don't be shy! If 8 yr old kids can shoot this it's time to put-on yer Big Girl panties & jump into the shallow end of the pool .Let me know when you're coming to Old Bridge so I can say hello! You will have SO much fun you'll wonder what took ya so long to show-up! Rosey

OK, once again... you folks are bringin' it! I mistakenly had this idea stuck in my head that steel shooting was a rifle sport, so it wasn't on my radar screen at all. The videos on the Old Bridge website(s) make it look fun! And it dovetails with my plans to try as many firearms and shooting sports as I can this summer & fall. So, I'm going to buy some more magazines (something I was fully intending to do anyway) - and then I'll check out a match there. And I didn't know TTC had moving targets either! I'll give them a call and inquire about that. Of all the good ideas listed, those are the two that seem most beginner-friendly, and aren't a bad commute either - so I'll start there. Thanks, all! Have a great weekend.

Its not so much that the AR is touchy, but that when reloading it is important to make ammo in spec.

Shooting a moving target within 35 feet with a handgun is the same as shooting a static target. There are 3 factors that go into this and they both have to do with you. The first one is being able to actually shoot your gun properly. Meaning all the fundamentals grip, stance, trigger control, no anticipation and pulling the shot down, sight picture... the second is being able to aquire the sight picture instantly. The third one, and this is the big one, getting over the mental part of it. I see so many shooters that shoot really well and when they get to the Texas star stage they get nervous, complain that they can't shoot it, proceed to throw 3 mags at it... meanwhile all their groups on cardboard are 3 inches or tighter and their times are acceptable. Out of all that the one that is hardest to work on is the second one, getting that gun on target instantly. The only way to get to that point is either to dry fire alot or shoot alot. I don't know what .22 you have but most .22 pistols, at least from what I've heard, should not be dry fired. Your best bet and most fun will be steel challenge matches. Steel challenge, also known as steel matches and static steel is your absolute best way to start. You will meet some of the nicest people at shooting matches (and some of the weirdest lol). There is absolutely no reason to be intimidated to go to a match. Almost every competitor stared out with SC and at almost every SC match there is a few brand new shooters. They are extremely new shooter freindly. You don't need a holster, just good safety glasses, ear plugs, 5 mags, gun, hat, lunch and about 200-250 rounds. Your probably less than an hour from Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club just make sure it's Jake brown road, if not you'll end up at the indoor one that's not near the outdoor range where the SC matches are. 2 things you need to know when you go, tell them you are new and don't uncase your gun till they tell you to. Get ready to have a whole lot of fun. ..

I use blue loctite on everything on my rifles and holsters. I also take a paint pen and make witness marks so I can quickly tell visually if something has started to work it's way loose. I have seen way to many failures from people that haven't.

Come on. We can generalize. Men are stronger than woman. Blacks are faster than whites. Republicans are smarter than Democrats. Pumps are more reliable than semis.

There is a lot of shooting from the hip without evidence on a variety of issues. A lot of it is when cops do something that has the appearance of bad. If a LEO suggests "there's more to this story" many respond "that's what all cops say". The same people who insist police all wear body cams bitch and moan when police don't give someone a break. One thing I've learned as a LEO is not to pass judgement on something until I get all the facts. I don't make a judgement on some preconceived notion of someone or something.

Many good dog owners fail to realize that many many people do not treat their pets like family members as many of us here do. I have seen what people can do to their pets and it's just shocking that they can sleep at night knowing that their pet is starving to death or it's collar is so small it grew into it's neck or it's eyeball is hanging out of its eyesocket and covered with maggots. I could go on for days with story's..........

Looks like a hybrid of both a brake and flash hider to me. The 4 duckbill type prongs would be there to reduce flash. It also would fail the pinky test. (total BS) but many feel that if you can put your pinky finger in the hole, it is a flash suppressor. I would not take a chance in the PRNJ with this one myself. Even though the manufacturer calls it a brake, it appears to have flash suppression incorporated into it design with the 4 prongs. I call no go but will gladly yield to my more learned colleagues like HE who knows a great deal more than me. Good luck.
