Old School

Did anybody see that crazy couple on motorcycles with a dog riding on the bike today at CR?

Good job Pinky. Missed you at the range today.

Let's meet up and I'll watch you. 25yds IS stiff. But you should group nicely at 15. Believe me I'm not the expert but I'll help as I can. Frank

Remington pattern cap and ball. Probably 44 cal. Manufacturer? Repro?

Nice set-up. I shoot a similar, not exact set-up.

Caine, I will have to try and make it up to the Bullet Hole one of these Tuesday nights (or you could come down to Shore Shot on a Tuesday or BA on Wednesday) and bring my G34. I think you will be pleasantly surprised that a Glock can have a nice, but still reliable, trigger. Also, check out the 25 cent Glock trigger job. That, along with a drop of oil on the connector, trigger junction, makes a big difference. Chris - What combo do you have in your G34?

Ray- I have some New reworked Korean mags that are good for range duty(I don't use them for SD). Shoot mine when you come to CR. They're cheap. As far as your trigger. Spend a 1/2 hour with me and I'll smooth up your stocker and see if you like it. We can take out the parts box and you can feel different stuff. First thing, one drop of very light tool oil ( I use Starrett Micometer oil) at the trigger bar/connector junction. Makes a difference. Though this is not an official GLOCK recommendation.

I was thinking the same thing.. If you live with someone AND own guns don't you have to be SURE that there is no reason that they are prohibited from being around guns... similar question.. a friend of mine just moved back from Florida.. he is a good guy would do anything for you, BUT he has a past.. a stupid one.. in which he chose drugs and ended up paying for that choice with time served.. he has since become drug free, and chosen a more clean lifestyle... so i have no personal reservations about allowing him into my home NOW (since he has cleaned up).. i KNOW he can not legally own a firearm.. SO does this mean he can not LEGALLY come to my home in which i own firearms? can I put them in my safe while he is there thus limiting his access to them? kind of an off the wall question but falls in line with what you are commenting on.. As long as they are secure you shouldnt have a problem. See KpdPipes-How much alike we are on this one!!

How far do you extend that respect? The the street you live on...if your neighbors are anti-gun? The town you live in if your neighbors are anti-gun? The county? The state? The country? The United Nations? Get the picture??? We are not talking about a hampster here. If someone you share rent with and are supposed to live with day in and day out does not feel comfortable with a firearm in the house, i think that needs to be respected. My wife did not want any firearms in the house for the longest time. Guess what, i respect her, so i did not. Recenlty we discussed it again, and she has changed her ind, so i finally got my permits. I would just talk to the roomate and try to work it out. If he/she still does not want it, its time to move on. Think like a hampster... be a hampster... Feelings, respect, What about your GOD GIVEN RIGHTS? Maybe this isn't the right room mate. And I'm guessing all your firearms are properly secured. If properly secured and you are descrete why would any reasonable individual object to their room mate having firearms?

That's true. If you can navigate your way through the mush that is the stock Glock trigger, then it goes a long way towards making you a better shot. Lets put the orange New York trigger on it. That'll make a man of RayRay. You're messing with me.... You know the #10 NY trigger requires a special grip, requiring two trigger fingers. One in from each side of the trigger guard.

Chris-Remember It's not the arrow it's the Indian. Let him shoot a stocker first. If he learns to avoid the 7 o'clock hit with a stock trigger he'll be that much better a shooter with any pistol. This sounds wacky but... learning trigger control on my GLOCK made me a better shooter with a 1911.

Ray, it's a G19?. Perfection out of the box. If you want to play I'll switch parts in and out so you can feel what different stuff is like. For SD you leave it just like it is. I have extra mags for you too. OK let's GLOCK!

Most jobs have physical requirements built into their job description. And, employers generally don't compensate their employees to maintain or meet those requirements. I've both written and enforced requirements of job descriptions. Yes, if someone doesn't make the requirements an accomodation MUST be made per ADA. Yes, a program can be set up to bring them up to snuff. But, it is not required that this be done at the employer's expense. I and the people of the state of NJ, through the governor, are restistant to pay for percs that occur in public service that do not exsist in the private sector.

Welcome to GLOCK PERFECTION!!!!!!!

With 9mm so cheap NIB does it really make sense to reload that caliber? 45acp - I'm right with you... 9mm reloads cost me $.13 ea or $6.50 / 50 they're not Wolf steel and 115gr fmj @1150fps. Now you can't but good 9mm for $130 / 1000. 45acp cost depends on what you want. 200gr lead swc are $.125 or $6.25 / 50 230gr fmj $.18 ea. I loaded 15000 rds of 9mm last year so the savings were significant.

#1 Thank You for your public service! #2 On this point we disagree. Thank you for disclosing your opinion.

Ya the AR wont work for that Nah! You never reinforce concrete with aluminum.

So is it a union contractual issue? Do you agree it should be so? Was the case law you site related to a bargaining unit contract? Just curious...

3000 rounds / month is a reasonable amount and warrants a progressive press. That being said, learning to reload on a single stage press gives you a better understanding of the process initially. And, you can do 3000/month on a sigle stage you just have to be organized. One night all sizing and priming, maybe 3-500 and next powder and seating. If you're doing rifle throw in a trimming night. How many calibers do you expect to load? Each caliber change equals more money and it's more pricey to do calliber changes on a progressive. Just my thoughts...

Rick- The Rockchucker is the Cadilac of sigle stage presses. An "O" type press. Super accurate NO FLEX!!

oh my gosh, why are you always starting fights with your Mosin's? Mosins are just Fighting rifles!! And good for reinforcing concrete too!!

As long as you can afford it, I wouldn't own anything but a Dillon. With proper set-up, having primer tubes ready, cases ready, bullets ready, you can do about 400-500 rounds an/hour with a 550B. Set-up and change over is easy and breakdowns are minimal. I have about 15000 rounds through mine and I'm happy. But even a 550B ends up being several times the price of the competition.

KpdPipes- Do you think the dept paying for gym time is really right? Why should the taxpayer pay for a condition of employment? The employer doesn't pay to keep a lineman in shape at a utility company, and when I was doing ASME inspections no one paid for me to stay in shape to be able to crawl in boilers. When I couldn't or others couldn't do their job they were just incompetent. Now you didn't say you thought it was right for the departments to pay for this stuff you just made a statement. But it shouldn't be a given that if a physical condition is required that the employer pay for it... It turns out to one more union entitlement that we the taxpayer can't afford. I appreciate the devotion of our public servant but can only bleed so much tax money. And BS not all LEOs are fat. It's a terrible stereotype.
