I love his "About Me". First line tells me all I needed to know.

I shot the steyr about 18mos ago and I still laugh like a virgin in a locker room when I think of that memory.

P22 or the gsg 22.

SWEET..... never been one for the big russian club/rifle, but that is sweet. Good find. It always makes me wonder what that rifle would do against a modern sniper rifle out to say 800m, in the hands of the same shooter. Take two warm up shots, then three for points with each.

Beretta 3901 American for less then $600.

I like the random range determination of the M1 and the M14 myself ....402m and 430m respectively. Those AKs are almost as accurate to the same range. This is what happens when a 12yo gets photoshop and wikipedia.

Head shots. But in world war z they were using a wood stocked carbine in 5.56 that used stanag mags and had a fold out spear point bayonet. I imagined a mag fed sks or a heavy barrel mini 14.

Who said 22lrit as a primary defense weapon? Was not me... I see a 22lrprimary as a primary hunt and gather tool. One good thing about the 22lr is the amount of ammo that can be carried or stored with ease.

be very quiet.... I am hunting rabbit. Cmon man.... squirrell, birds, possum, dogs, cats, wild cows, etc etc. The big guns will be close by. Plus farming.

What are you doing.... that changes the situation greatly. Natural disaster that you are riding out by hunkering down and guarding your home / neighborhood? In that scenario, Mossberg with sidearm of choice while out and about. Inside house will be M1A with ammo in a high position to provide support. Zombie/Alien/Riot infestion that forces you from your home base using a vehicle? All... Glock 20 in easy to acquire and deploy holster. 6 mags loaded with 15rds each. .22 pistol for stealthy Zombie eradication. Holing up in the wilds... last family on earth? .22 rifle with scope for hunting sidearm good knife or two

I like privie. I have some in 308 and 9mm. U am about to buy some 10mm. I like it and it is always priced well.

Disaster response also. Ng gets out for this stuff also.

Damn auto correct. Last word should say ppq

Baby eagles are getting prolific. I think there are now three or more models called baby eagles. In regards to p99 mags the newest baby eagles are p99 clones. Mags are same Moe. I have two for my p99. But they will not work in the pow.

I have fallene for the walther p 22 not just once but twice. I might fall again sometime in the near future. I love the ambi design and the size. What I did not like it was the pickey ammo sensitive naturejust and the finicky safety. I really did not like that when the safety was engaged you could still pull the trigger and have the hammer fall. This sometimes confused new shooters into thinking ammo was bad. Also take down is horrible. Or actually putting the damn thing back together is horrible. It could be reasonably accurate and it was fun to shoot. I will probably buy another someday.... but I'll hate myself afterwards.

I shot a Steyr HS .50 last year. It was so fun. I was able to shoot steel at 500 and 1K with it, easily. Suprisingly very little recoil, but the muzzle blast is like a .25 stick of dnamite going off 3' from you face. And watching the vapor trail through the scope as the round lasered in on the target was a beautiful sight.

The FNP45 that is now in Manny's locker was my NIB purchase. It is a high quality gun and I regret selling trading it somewhat, for many reasons. High quality, great ergonomics, fantastic array of controls, soft shooting, reliable, great company that supports USA gunners and great value. 14+ rounds of .45acp will usually solve any issue. That being said, I had two issues with the gun. First was that grip checkering was so sharp it could be uncomfortable for a lengthy session. Second was the decocker movement took some time getting used to. What i mean is that you could carry the gun cocked and locked. Then thumb off the safety, but if you thumbed it off to much it decocks the gun. It was all about touch, but I thought that might be a point of failure during a time of stress. Part of the reason I dont have any decocker guns currently. Plus I have an affinity for Glock 20s... the only thing that surpasses 14 rounds of .45acp for major bad mojo is 15 rounds of 10mm!!!

She is being lazy or disorganized. Sometime getting an envelope and a stamp is just a little to much for people in our world nowadays. Have your wife give her friend a gentle reminder. If it becomes apparent that the hold up is because of an anti issue, your PD will send another ref letter and should with no repercussions on your wifes application. I have a great friend that took about three weeks to send it in... my local LEO called to tell me there was a reference missing and to choose someone else. It is not as big of a deal as you are making it into.

"I understand though, Gen2 P99 mags (whatever that means) work ..." Rauchman, sorry but that is not the case. The P99 mags are taller in the front of the mag then the PPQ mags. Therefore the P99 mag lip bumps the feed ramp. The bore axis is lower in the PPQ and the longer mags of the P99 do not fit.

The P99QA is the last generation with a consistent DA like pull. The AS gives the user a DA or SA choice with the loaded chamber and first round. The PPQ is a totally new system, consistent striker fired and revolver like with a DA pull only, no decocker and a trigger insert safety. Two different weapons now. I would imagine the author is either incorrect in it's model designation or the German LEOs are getting older model P99QA models. If they were still using P5s... this might be their model. Plus P5s were small....

Exactly what level of information did that article portray. A rumored series of FTEs or FTFs during LEO training? That smaller people have a hard time with this model, which is unbelievable to me considering the size, or the the holsters purchased for the new gun are too bulky to fit inside their Passat patrol vehicles? Friggin really.... that was probably one of the least helpful reports ever published on the web concerning a firearm.

I own a 99as and the other day at Bass Pro here in Harrisburg I tried on the P99Q. It feels great, the grip texture is pretty sticky feeling and the angles seem to be spot on, just like the p99. The ambi and extended slide release is very nice, but I slingshot my slides anyway so I found that change not totally unnecessary, but not an enticement. One of the downsides the p99 have is a more pronounced felt recoil due to it's lightweight. I have alwasy shoot 99s accurately, but the recoil alway made it feel like I was holding a wildcat in my hand when I pulled the trigger. Getting back on target rapidly was sometimes tricky for follow up shots. I am curious to see if the 99q has that same feel or not. Some reviews state there is no change, others state it feels less. It is subjective. There is one big drawback to the 99Q... it takes new proprietary mags. You can not use p99 mags in it. Not a problem to people buying their first... but I have 6 mags that I would not be able to use. So I will not be getting one until I decide to move the 99as on to some other lucky soul. Buds was selling them 99q for $550 a few weeks ago.... I have not checked today.

Paul, I was having the same issue with my Gen4 G19. The trigger needed to be reset to get the slide all the way on. It was weird, totally different from older Gens and in my opinion, not needed. I could not figure out why, is the hammer slightly longer in the Gen4s versus older, is the angle different. And I am not 100% certain it is in all Gen4s, I have heard report, yet have never seen one in person, that their are folks that do not need to reset their Gen4 triggers to put the slide back on. I am sure you have one sitting around... what say you?

Just bought a kershaw od1. What a nice pocket folder. It is lever opening, straight blade made of 14XXX stainless steel. Nice Sandvik blade. Not the best for heavy duty cutting, but it seems like it will be a great EDC for med and light duty.
