Old School

Welcome! This wife as "an Anti" thing is very distressing. Neither of mine ever were that bad. The first wife wasn't crazy about guns but tolerated them and would use one if she had too but probably not well or successfully. Now my new wife looks at guns as tools, as I do. She's not an enthusiast but she'll shoot competitively from time to time. Being she's ex-military helps. I can only suggest two things to you. One, impress upon her that the PD is not obligated to protect you and their response time is not fast enough for an emergency, thus you have to be self sufficient and protect yourself which is your obligation to your family. And secondly, ask her if she would exerecise lethal force if someone was to threaten harm to your children. Forget about having your spouse as a gun enthusiast but she may view firearms as a necessary tool. Good luck!

Caine- funny you should say that...I brought my G19 home and changed the magazine release before I ever fired it. Original was too small and I couldn't reliably drop a mag. There are many reasons for leaving a defense gun stock. Have you got a site pusher? If not PM me.

The stock GLOCK part is polymer. I have a polymer one on my wifes G34 that is a stock cover engraved with her name, Kimber.(Isn't that cute) I have seen other after market covers that are aluminum. I have never heard of a failure with either. But then again I have modified GLOCKs but always carry a 100% stock pistol(all GLOCK factory parts). So stock is best I guess.

This slide cover slides in a dovetail in the slide and retains the firing pin assembly and exractor spring assembly. http://www.genitron.com/Basics/Glock23/P2Glock.html

Great guy to befriend and great place to meet up before or after the range. Any place to get coffee nearby? Hope to do some business with them. Yeah, the General store has coffee, I suspect however that he may do that as well. He's a former LEO from fort Lee, and has an interest in the business. The owner is a gunsmith, but I don't have any details on that. Maybe I'll take my Smith there and see what he thinks about the sight being a little off. LEO Fort Lee? Could be an aquintance of our family. LOL Gotta stop in.

Maks- I think you should lock this thread. It's all BS! The OP is entitiled to his own opinion no matter how irrational or immature. And you Maks, are supporting his nonsense by playing "point-counterpoint" with him. Just lock it. Both sides have said their piece and there will be no resolution. I'll subscribe to the "Psychology Today" forum if I want to learn about adolesent developement. Thanks, Frank(Supporter of NJ Gun Rights and Commerce)

Didn't want to say get well untill you got back. Call me supersticious. And stay off the puter late at night. LOL

Good Link Thanks!

Easy, PM me and I'll walk you through it on the phone. Frank BTW check youtube.

Failure of the slide lock spring would allow the slide to fly forward. But I've never heard of it happening. Though, GLOCK does reccommend keeping 10 on hand for every 100 guns in service. rscalzo-what did you do to that poor pistol? But thanks for the heads-up. At $2 ea I'll keep a few around. BTW that part was redesigned and made of heavier stainless steel. How long ago was that. Was it before all the gut's went to stainless? just interested.

Youngster- You're pretty far away but if you get up north, I can get you some range time with the "smoke pole" Sorry CSJ- I'm a 777 guy! Real black powder is a PIA. But I do shoot a TC Hawken. So maybe that makes up for it.

How about the endangering a minor law?

Tony-Please don't bend to that PC crap. I own weapons. I am a weapon. Some of my weapons are firearms.

I was shooting my G19 with a few different kinds of ammo. white box 115 FMJ and Winchester Ranger T-Series 9mm 147gr JHP +P and I mixed up the bullets when I was loading the magazine to see if I could feel the difference. From my experience with that I could feel the 147gr felt more powerful in general and it seemed like the slide would kick back faster than with the 147gr. I asked a question on this site earlier about shooting +P ammo usually 147gr through glocks because I read about the glock "kaboom" and didn't want to risk it. Someone suggested that I move up to a bigger caliber for the desired effect and I think thats the best choice. Although I called Glock and and spoke with someone who said its not a problem shooting +P ammo through them I didn't feel like the Glock was handling the +P 147 gr as well as it should have. Please explain what I put in red. For defense +P is just fine in your GLOCK. Many LEO use them and GLOCK stands behind +P use. Internet babble is just that!

You have to decide if you want an inline or traditional rifle. You can shoot a traditional rifle VERY inexpensively and they are accurate. Fun factor on a traditional rifle is increased as well.

Must be a slow news day! :geek:

My experience w/ MIM parts is if they're good they'll last if they're going to break they'll break early on. So I don't know about replacing them right off the bat. I quess it might be wise. Just keep in mind that replacing of fire control parts in a 1911 sometimes, most times, require fitting. And you need to know what you're doing.

Hey Pondscum! One time only offer!!! If you decide to buy one contact me first I may have a S&W stock target hammer to donate to you. It should be very close to drop-in. Frank

Good Point!!! I am a BIG proponent of dry chambers and this could be the problem esspecially with steel cased ammo. That case has to "bite" and seal.

Eddie- All you need is 25 sq ft and I'll help you get set up reloading.

Mike- I'll be shooting that as well. You going 9 or 45? I'm undecided. Frank

#1 Any surplus rifle should be head spaced with few exceptions. #2 Steel cased ammo does not provide the best cartridge case seal. #3 Was this ammo ever stored improperly or subject to moisture? How was it packed when you got it? Just my thoughts. Frank BTW I don't like steel cased ammo.

I can't quite believe he brought it up, AGAIN! Call the mohel already. You know I'm going to continue to bring it up without mentioning it every chance I have right? Maybe I should wear my wooden shoes next CR meet so everyone can make fun of my Dutch Heritage. Matt-- If you were wearing wooden shoes and shooting your Mosin, I wouldn't be laughing at your wooden shoes!
