Forgive my ignorance Shane, but why won't the overhand metod work with a 1911 with a shock buff? I am yet to encounter a pistol it does not work on, which is why you have me curious.

I would like to think that this is obvious but unfortunately many do not see things that way. I have seen a poster on here say that if anyone broke into his house he feels that he is a good shot and will just shoot the intruder in the leg to stop him. I also see many people exclusively practice a predetermined threat response that they assume will end a fight, such as 2 rounds to a predetermined zone on the target. Where I disagree with the author is his assumptions near the end of the article where he states how many rounds may be needed based on caliber. I would rather the simple concept of just keep shooting until the threat is stopped.

Good article. Thanks for posting it.

Just take a course like THIS ONE from GAPP and you are good for both.

I am a Glock guy, but you can't go wrong with either gun.

That is a Jersey legal carry gun

Come down to Virginia with me in the spring to take ECQC with Southnarc and you can carry the whole time, and test (beat the crap out of) your gear

Why does everyone's gear look brand new? Quick crappy cell pic I just took:

It is a shame that this ammo damaged your firing pin. I am curious to see what Hornady says as I think they are a good company. I am surprised that they don't say not to use this in semi autos, as it is just too hot for them. But good shooting on the other groups!

MedicYeti, I would be interested.

As you are in NJ, and therefore I assume you are not going to surpress it, you may want to look into the 7.62 x 40 from Wilson (the 1911 guys) as it offers better supersonic performance.

Even worse, politicians.

While I must agree that there was a lot of absolutely stupid **** in that video, They stated that they were using the pistol as an impact weapon after it went to slide lock. If you are in close quarters and your pistol is empty or malfunctions, it does make a pretty good impact weapon. The same thing goes for a rifle that is empty, malfs, or even if the individual in front of you is a no shoot. I agree with Shane, that it is humorous how they grab an adversary's arms, and expect him to sit still while they shoot his buddies. I also agree with PK90 that at least some of the stuff in the video was shot with Sims, as you can see the blue Sims conversion slide in a few frames.

I use a digital fishing scale that goes to 50lb, +/- 1 oz. You can tell I am a gun geek as I have a spreadsheet of weights for rifles, uppers, lowers, and individual parts

Me too. I laminated it, then folded it in half as it never fit my wallet well, and have been carrying it that way for quite a few years.

Thanks. I was just trying to figure out how it is lighter than my 14.5" lightweight profile. I guess it is the accessories.

What is the barrel profile on that, as it seems surprisingly light?

Next time I am down in MD I will weigh some of the SBRs.

My beater/loaner CavArms frankengun, 14.5" lightweight barrel, pinned FSC brake, T1 optic, fixed front sight, Knights 300m rear sight, plastic midlenght handguards, TLR1 light w pressure switch: 6lbs 2 oz. My gun from Tossers last match, Surplus Ammo & Arms lower, pinned CTR, lightweight 14.5" barrel, pinned battlecomp, Try TRX handguard, fixed front sight, MBUIS rear, EOTech XPS, viking light mount with a streamlight light: 7lbs even. Edited to add: Shane, no lights?

Giraud, it is expensive, but it is the best and very fast.

Thanks for the reply Frank. I wanted to post that you had earned a new member, but when I went to join online it took me to a Paypal page for payment Due to their position on firearms, and how they have screwed myself and others in the past, I absolutely refuse to have anything to do with them. I will try to make another meeting so that I can join with cash as I am assuming you accept that.

I am probably not representative of NJGF in general, as I am not only concerned with NJ, but also MD, PA, and NY as I travel to those states often for work (PA and NY) and family (MD). I also appear to differ from NJGF/NJ2AS as I am a long time gun owner who is less concerned with FID/P2P issues than I am about CCW issues. Hassles and delays when purchasing a firearm seem less significant to me than the complete inability of a regular citizen of NJ to obtain a permit to legally carry a concealed firearm. Consequently, I am partial to the SAF (Second Amendment Foundation) as I said in the NJ2AS poll thread earlier this week. The SAF is currently involved in pro CCW litigation in NJ, NY, and MD, and I was under the impression that NJ2AS was assisting with the NJ case (please let me know if I am wrong as it was not mentioned in the original post). By the way, the first sentence in the OP saying that the right to bear arms is a "fundamental" right is a result of the SAF based Heller and McDonald cases I attended the 8/17 NJ2AS meeting, and found Frank's comments enlightening. I also greatly enjoyed Rob Pincus's presentation as he does his best to cut to the heart of the matter. I hope that the NJ2AS will take him up on his generous offer regarding classes/donations. I spoke to Art of SJSC (who immediately shot me down citing an exclusive contract with Gun for Hire), then Anthony of Gun for Hire regarding this offer, and I hope Anthony, or someone else from NJ2AS will make this happen. If not, I will see if I can arrange a Pincus class in NJ to benefit NJ2AS. Please do not take this post as anti NJ2AS, as I think you are a positive organization who meets the needs of the majority of the members of this forum, and I wish you the best in your endeavors regarding FID/P2P issues, and any larger issues you may take on in the future.

I enjoyed the meeting and Rob's presentatio. It was alsonice seeing quite a few old friends, and meeting some of the NJGF guys in person. Hopefully someone will be able to find a range so we can take Rob up on his class/donation offer. I spoke to Art from SJSC and Anthony from GFH to see if they are interested in doing so, and I will be checking with another range later today.

Looks good Vlad. One question though, does the barrel shroud serve any real purpose, as it looks like it will block the light to the upper left. I only ask as playing with suppressors in Maryland I noticed that light placement becomes more of an issue due to the shadow caused by the suppressor.

I don't have a problem with you being a capitalist, and making money Anthony. In fact I commend you for your success. I am also one of the 44,000 people that have downloaded episode 10 (but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet). I also think it is good that NJ2AS is putting their info on there. Where I have a problem is when, earlier in this thread, NJ2AS says to find out what they are doing go listen to a commercial source, instead of just posting a summary in this thread, or a link to the same info on their web page. I wish you continued success in your business, but I don't feel it is appropriate for a non-profit gun rights organization to tell me that I have to go to a unrelated for-profit source to find out about about what they are doing. While I am complaining (and probably endlessly annoying many of you), why is the SAF having their meeting in anti gun Chicago. You would think that they could find a pro gun location to support instead. I give people like you and Bob Viden a lot of credit for your effort, and representation of NJ at these national events.
