  1. Correct. DEANG HQS is at that airport. DEANG has the 166th Wing which is a C130 unit.
  2. The goal is a nice soft and smooth DA first shot. The fact is the mechanism used by most DA semi-autos (designed by Walther in 1921) does not lend itself to smoothing too much. Yes you can smooth it to a degree but you will never achieve the smoothness of a quality action job on a S&W revolver. Using toothpaste? I heard of that 40 years ago and the only result I know of is it made the gun parts sticky.
  3. You can get a much smoother trigger pull on a S&W (and a Ruger IMO) than you can on a Colt. Their mechanisms are much more conducive to smoothing up than a Colt I or D frame. Springs on a revolver basically 3 things ensure ignition (the primary purpose of a firearm), trigger pull and trigger reset. S&W, Ruger, and Taurus overdo their springs so while you get good reset and ignition the trigger pull can stand some improvement. When you get into modifying a revolver and swapping out springs you can have 2 of the 3 things very good but not all three. For example, if you want good ignition and trigger pull you're going to get poor reset. You can maintain all three pretty good down to about a 8 lb pull on a S&W or Ruger. Past that point you're going to have to balance the three functions. Colt sacrifices trigger reset on I and D frames from the factory. I'm about 100 years old but I can still cycle the trigger on a stock Python or Detective Special fast enough to lock up the trigger. People lighten triggers by swapping out springs all the time. The fact is smooth is much more important than light. There was some surprise in a thread recently when someone posted that Jerry Miculek uses extra power springs but his actions are very smooth. No way could he (or anyone else) cycle that trigger that fast with light springs. When you get below about that 8 lb pull you are going have to make comprimises in trigger reset or ignition. This is evident when you see people looking for the softest primers so their gun goes off. If you're a good shooter you'll shoot good with a 12, 8, or 5 lb trigger. Going straight to a light trigger is using it as a crutch instead of an edge. Spend some time developing the muscles in your hands and fingers and that 8 lb trigger doesn't feel that bad. When you start to go below that many have the revolvers converted to DAO because they've made the SA way too light. S&W has the best action of them all, stock or modified. Want proof? How many speed shooters use something other than a S&W revolver? Maybe 99% of all PPC guns are built on a S&W. This is even when Colt revolvers were in production and if they were better the pros would have used them. Pythons have this following I just don't understand. Yeah they are good guns and finished nicely but as I explained their trigger pull comes at the expense of trigger reset. They were "handfitted" at the factory which may be why on a percentage basis I've seen more Pythons come new with something wrong with them than S&Ws or Rugers. So being all used by now they most likely have been fixed. Colts have no mystique for me. I will agree to disagree. Dan Wessons always had good SA but AFAIC the DA left something to be desired. Another issue is that unless you have large hands you need both of them to open the cylinder which is why they've never been embraced by combat shooters. Dan Wesson has always had a loyal following.
  4. You need to read all the statutes regarding use of force. You have no duty to retreat if confronted with deadly force. HE covered the rest.
  5. You need to tactical reload as often as you can to keep your gun as full as you can as High Exposure said. At a minumum you want to tac reload before you move, before you enter a room, during any lull in the action, and when you think its all over (because it may not be). You also want to have at least that one round in the chamber in case a target presents itself (moreso if it is shooting at you). Not a new concept. Learned this in 1968. Had several half full magazines inside my shirt at the end of a fight more than once.
  6. Smooth is more important than light. Many lighten the pull to mask a gritty trigger. You can also work on your grip to increase hand and finger strength which will make your trigger pull easier without touching your revolver.
  7. My first choice would be an L frame or GP100. N frame is nice but harder to find and more expensive. I wouldn't look at Colts. 95% of Colt ownership is "ooh, I have a Colt". They are good guns but no where near the premium price people pay. They also don't do some things that Rugers and S&Ws do better. Dan Wessons are okay but DA is no where near as nice as a S&W or Ruger. If you want a K frame size gun a Ruger 6 series is more durable than a K frame S&W. If its priced right I'd buy a Taurus. I have 3 with no problems. I'd go for a 4" stainless with any of them.
  8. Does free count? or do you have to have had paid something?
  9. If its a bolt action you can have whatever you want except a 16 rd magazine. Bayonet, pistol grip, flash surpressor, etc are all okay.
  10. i think your idea would be legal however a safe deposit box at a bank makes a lot more sense and a lot less worry.
  11. I think it would work. You can probably get a 24/7 permit as the CEO with a need to respond at any time. But you'd have to incorporate, be licensed by the state as a security company, get the state required training for security officers, carry required insurance, etc etc. A lot more than saying you are in business
  12. The only state were you might have an issue with an overnight stop is MD. Can't see any problems in other states. Transport IAW FOPA and you should have no problem. Keep in mind some states allow you to have a loaded pistol accessible to you in the car even if you don't have a carry permit.
  13. I do this shooting support hand. I learned this from Jim Cirillo about 30 years ago.
  14. My daughter works for State Farm. She still keeps USAA. No company comes close to meeting their price. When you get a quote from them you also have to consider the rebates you get to your subscribers savings account which are usually about 20% of your premium.
  15. You can hit 500yd targets a couple of times over for $1000. I can do that all day with a sporterized Springfield 03A3 and Weaver K3 I bought for $300 with Greek surplus ammo. Better yet I can also do it with my Swedish Mauser and no name scope that cost me $75. Not as sexy as other stuff but it works.
  16. You already have the best all around 9mm in the G19 and you need the best all around handgun a 4" 357.
  17. When I was in basic we were told (by Drill Corporal Kelly IIRC) that if our bayonet should stick in our target to fire a round and let the recoil help pull it out. I asked "if I've got ammo in my rifle why am I using a bayonet?". I paid for that question. I did go on to redeem myself by splitting two M14 stocks during bayonet training and winning the company pugil stick competition.
  18. I remember when Navy Arms had these not reconditioned but brand new for $75 20 years ago.
  19. easy transaction, no bs
  20. No prohibition on carry in bars in NJ, NY, or PA.
  21. I never used a one point sling on anything. The problem is, if you need to secure your long gun because you need both hands, a 2 point sling does so much more efficiently.
  22. Its not bullet diameter but freebore in the chamber.
  23. Like I said if you don't know when to talk or what to say you probably should be quiet and accept any benefits or consequences that occur.
  24. I've watched this video and the examples given don't tell the entire story. In fact some of the defendants he talks about are stupid. It seems rather self serving for him to say keep your mout shut all the time just spend your money to hire me. I'm not saying there aren't times you should shut up until your lawyer gets there. But there are times you can avoid trobule or help yourself if you talk to police.
