Those anti-crime night outs are all about grabbing your guns anyway!

I really like the bottle of Captain Morgan in the bench...

Now I'm going to confuse you even more... Both guns have "steel" bolts locking up into steel barrel extensions. The Mossberg has an aluminum reciever. I quess you are looking at an 870 Express. Both guns have plastic parts. The Remmy you can put a mag extension on the 500 you can't. My 2 cents

Do yourself a favor if you are going to be (excuse me)anal with that pistol. Fold up a rag, put it on a table, push the muzzle into the rag and clean the pistol from the breach using only a jag, solvent and a patch. Never let the jag go past the crown. Abandon the brush and the pistol will never have a damaged or worn crown. I have been cleaning my Anschutz match rifle like this for ever and it is like new.

Correct you are...I was out of there before that.

I saw you there today!!! Were you shooting Lake City and not picking up the brass?

Ray- Are you referring to GLOCK PERFECTION? Boy you weren't hard to win over...

Not sure which one you're looking at, but I have this one on my 19: http://tangodown.com/shop/product_info. ... ucts_id=59 It is, IMHO, the perfect size. Installation is pretty easy.. a small needle nose plier came in handy for me but all you really need is a small flat head screwdriver. Next time we hang out, you should check out the mag release on mine. The edges aren't sharp like the stock one. How is this better than the OEM GLOCK Extended release? I have to buy three and would like the better mouse trap. FS

+1 Anybody that goes to a marriage counselor can't have a gun? No way...

Was your counselor an MD a psychiatrist? Most marriage counselors are not. So if you were not attended by an MD the answer is NO. Anyway "for any mental or psychiatric condition" how is that interpreted? I think you could have truthfully answered NO.

What exactly is question #26?

This can obviously be addressed in different ways. Kimber is left eye dominant and picks up a rifle and shotgun and shoots lefty. And successfully. My buddy Pete has a damaged right eye. He shoots a rifle righty using high rings allowing him to get his face over the stock and shoot with his left eye. there has been a time when a rifle had a high comb that the stock had to be modified. AR's have a relatively low comb so high rings may work. Be careful with that NC Star MK III. I sent two back and finally got a refund.

Seems like a family(illegitimate family) of scumbags. It's a sin that a poor child that may have grown up to be president or find a cure for cancer had to pay the price. Well on the other hand the child may have grown up to be a crack whore or murderer. Darwin Principle.

Hey Ray... I thought lefties were suposed to be smarter than righties... I'm a rightie stupid and old... Just saved you having to say it...

I find them necessary and have them on all my GLOCKS with exception of the model G26 carry gun. I have difficulty with that one as well but don't want to increase the width.

Do they come with a rubber mallet to hit you charging handle? That's how you get them out of the chamber when they stick(FTE). This is what I heard from the RO's. Haven't seen it myself.

I think using an AR as a primary is feasible, as long as a person has the situational awareness to understand the acceptable sectors of fire. And really, its not about an AR or handgun or shotgun for HD. In a high stress situation, I would rather a person use whatever it is that they are most comfortable using (whether its through training, growing up with that specific firearm, etc). In my case, I know I can hit a man-sized target 10/10 times in a high stress situation within the probable "justified" range (factoring in NJ laws of retreat, etc) with an AR. I couldn't say the same about my abilities with a handgun or shotgun. So, having figured out my sectors of fire; figuring out at which angles (horizontal and vertical) are safe and not safe-- and having dry run it with walk through's, I'm comfortable with using an AR for HD. I would hope others would take the time to figure out what works best for them and their home. ETA: I still agree that an AR doesn't make the best first option, as I noted in my initial post. I know who trained you and thanks for your service. Frank

Bob- Absolutely agree!!! As to the folks using an AR for the first line of defense in an urban setting...I really question that. Now, I have a tree line 50yds behind my house. If I had to secure that tree line yes I'd use an AR. Otherwise 12ga with birdshot in close quarters. Why bird shot? Minimum penetration and at close range... Nobody stands up to 1 1/8oz of shot. Remember the rule of thumb, 1" of spread per yard from a cylinder bore. It gives you a little bit more margin of error when things get crazy. Not for anything... but I survived this long. FS

Just like the Nazi's ratting each other out! Nice! Real nice!! George Orwell how prophetic!!!

Ha, ha Frank! You can have your poodle shooter. If I want a short/mid range semi-auto rifle, I have the AK. If I want a mid/long range semi-auto rifle, I'll play with my M1 Garand or (soon-to-be) M1A. The AR is a good compromise between the two, but I like a round with a little more thump. Chris- I can't disagree with you there (M1 rifle or M1A). Nothing like 30 cal. to reach out and touch some one...

Wolfy is correct about this. If you have a barrel with a quick twist rate (1:7, 1:8, 1:9), the 22LR round will have too fast a spin to shoot accurately (If you have an older M-16 style barrel or a varmint barrel with 1:12, you are good though). I bought the Spikes Tactical 22LR upper and it was excellent quality and accuracy (As a matter of fact, it's for sale in the Marketplace right now), although this upper costs about $100 more than the S&W MP22 that everyone loves. I like the Spike's because it can fit on any AR upper. I am selling because I figured out I like AKs much better than ARs. Chris that is a subersive comment and unAmerican...

Excuse my ignorance but what is a G24? Its a 40sw long slide. http://www.impactguns.com/store/glock24.html Right!!! Now I remember. I saw a guy with one at a match at Shongum. Yes I was in awe.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a G24?

Is this every time the barrel is switched from .40 to 9mm or the replacement parts will work for both calibers? I ask because I am getting a G22 w/ 9mm replacement barrel w/ G17 mags. The extractors are different as are the other parts. Use 9mm parts for 9mm. Use .40 parts for .40. If you want it to work every time. Properly kitted I would use a conversion for SD. No problem. Radek get intouch as I have a parts order long over due to go in if you want to do a PROPER conversion.
