Old School

Rethink that one. Your statement is too absolute. If you stand by your statement I will take you to task. This is serious.

Thank You Dan.

I just purchased Hornady Critical Defense ammo. I would expect it to perform better than conventional HP's for it's intended purpose. Sorry Nick I only found two boxes and will do limited function tests. Since I shoot "the tupperware guns" I don't expect any function problems.

Chris- Merry Christmas buddy!

Merry Christmas folks and a Happy New Year. From the "Old School Gang"

Thanks Tim good input. Ray I really don't care what a pistol looks like. You know that Little Weedhopper. Yes Maks, The design part of it was what caught my attention. Two things specifically. One, the firing pin block plunger and two, the second strick capability of the fire control system. Chris, you're just silly...

Not big enough... :thsmiley_deadhorse:

OK I had the opportunity to fondle a PT709 yesterday. I like the size, it looks relatively well made. And my BIL likes his though it has gone back to the factory for some reason he can't describe(it just locked up) and he's not a gun guy. I read some reviews and they appear to be hit or miss maybe more miss as they #1 report some have a FTE and one report of a guys extractor having gone missing. Now I carry a G26 or G19 and I love their reliability(they will eat rocks) but the slim 709 is very slim and light. Does anyone have any experience with these 709's? Have they gotten better? I shoot the G26 about 50 rds each range visit to maintain proficiency, would a 709 rattle loose after 1000-1500 rounds? Just looking for someones FIRST HAND experience.

Easy now... You're getting defensive again

Well Shane as unconventenial as this sounds. If distance permits and I have no other choice I'm a proponent of going prone. #1 limits exposure of your vital areas #2 Fucks with the head of the threat big time. Down side... you are commited to your position.

Is it Ricky? His father Bobby moved and still has a shop in Lake Hava Su. Rather colorful individuals. Both Bobby and Ricky were pretty good.

Is that the official paramedic position? Drumming up more business?...

Like another poster alluded to... It is my intention to control and modify the situation to obtain an advantage. IDPA and USPSA are, I agree, just games. So which shot do you take first? The greatest threat while you are taking cover. Now here is a better question. At 10-20 feet are you going to raise the weapon and take a site picture? Let's throw that into the mix. Again my threat is in a 4 foot wide hallway.

My daughter just left my house with a refrigerator hand truck....What a Gal...

I haven't heard one word about retreating and taking cover. Everyone has their own situational senario. I live in a bilevel. I know where my threats would occur. I know where my retreat and take cover points are. In my situation the threats would have to funnel into the safe area. This would cause the threats to be "fish in a barrel". This is more complicated based on the location of your loved ones relative to the threats. Being that it is only my wife and I and a few dogs, my senario is a little simpler. I'm making the GROSS assumption that this is an in home senario, being that NJ is a non CCW state and all the distances that have been discussed are relatively short.

Sorry! This ia not the America I was promised...

Situational awareness is your best friend period!

A quality flash hider/compensator instalation will have the bore of the device aligned with the rifle bore. If not there are other issues to worry about. I have no problem bore sighting with a device on the end of the barrel, provided it is short enough that I can get the bearing in the bore with the arbor.

Very cool Matt. That helps the parking issue. BTW everybody should join the NJ2AS and take the discount. Good cause!

Anybody that wants to carpool let me know. Matt? Sigman? anybody in NNJ off or near Rt23 and Oak Ridge.

Shane you're killing me.... This has been my contention all along. I have one pistol with nite sites, and it came that way.

Good buy and Good luck. Gen 4's are a great improvement for those that struggled with the Gen 3 grips. Glad you found GSSF. Now we had better see you at The GSSF Indoor Match Series starting in January at Shore Shot. As usual if you need anything GLOCKwise I'm here for you. BTW the spongey reset when you install a #3.5 connector is corrected by a stronger trigger return spring.
