Obama's Gun Control Press Conference
I would not want to get overconfident, but I don't think this will pass. And it will be a disaster for the Dems in the next election 2 years from now just like in 1994.

Recommend me some good adjustable 1911 sights!
I had a Dawson adjustable rear matched with a Dawson fiber front on my M&P. Excellent quality and also very durable. Dawson's customer service is excellent also.

Wounded Warrior Project - Anti-Gun?
I am very torn by this. I have two close friends who are veterans disabled in Iraq. WWP has really helped them in many ways.

M&P 45 feeding issues
There is no way that a brand new, modern service pistol like an M&P should require breaking in, sanding, polishing, dremelling or any other messing-with to run reliably. And unless you are an anorexic teenage girl I doubt you are limp wristing enough to cause a failure to go into battery either. Send the damned thing back to Smith & Wesson for them to fix it.

Corrosion Testing using various oils, greases, and lubes
Yes indeed, but the very thin viscosity that makes it good at dispersing water also makes it too easily washed away for ongoing protection. I think this test was neat but there are too many uncontrolled variables to take it very seriously. Still, I think we have at least 5 cans of WD40 at home in various tool chests and cabinets.

Corrosion Testing using various oils, greases, and lubes
The fact that WD40 had one of the best results really makes me question the worth of this "testing."

Intruders Beware
Legal or not, any type of robotic weapon or "booby trap" is a bad idea. What if the "intruder" is a firefighter or EMT responding to an emergency at your house?

i don't care if i get made fun of for this
It would be better if it were even larger. And make it even further from the shooter's line of sight too.

Thank you for a smooth, efficient transaction.

I got nicked at the OB Static Steel shoot. Minor...minor.
Jut another good reason to wear full coverage, wraparound eye protection. I see guys wear regular eyeglasses and it's not hard to see how something coming from the side could make it to an eyeball like that.

legality of NYC handgun to NJ range
There is no problem at all in NJ as long as the handgun itself is not prohibited in NJ and that he follows NJ's transportation rules. I have no idea about the NY portion of the trip.

Hollywood Gun Fails
Pretty much every movie and TV show (except Walking Dead) is going to sport: 1. Gratuitous cocking, to show the shooter means business. 2. Sound effect clicky noises every time someone raises a pistol and points it.

NJ Candidate Rankings wrt RKBA
Indeed most candidates here do suck, and we are working on our exit plan now to be out of here in a couple of years. Other than one Libertarian candidate for Senate who has no chance of winning, all the R's and D's in my district are all anti RKBA. Godamit New Jersey.

NJ Candidate Rankings wrt RKBA
Last election there was a list somewhere of New Jersey candidates with respect to how strongly they support gun rights. I cannot recall where this was posted. It was NJ specific rather than the NRA's national list which was missing a lot of NJ races. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Sig 226 MK25
The one consideration with the Mk25 versus other P226 variants is that the rail is a Picatinny instead of the proprietary version Sig uses on all their other pistols. This can cause fitment problems with holsters made for other railed P226's. I don't know how big the difference is, but I suggest looking into it before making a purchase decision.

Transport into NJ - Reassurance?
Also make sure you transport directly to your home. If you stop for a coffee or to pee, you will have committed a felony.

Can I transport friends gun to Florida?
Thanks to NJ's carefully constructed and common sense gun safety laws, your friend is screwed. Not only can you not legally transport his pistol to the airport, I suspect just taking it to FedEX to ship it would be an illegal transfer as well.

Problem with Dick's
Yes, Jesus cries every time someone tries to shop for firearms at Dicks. Don't make Jesus cry, people. Stop shopping at Dick's

Looking for a "Bling" gun..
Get a decent quality entry level 1911 in stainless, like a Springfield Milspec or maybe Ruger SR1911. Spend the time polishing it yourself. Now you have bling without the suck.

Accuracy better at longer distance?!
Most likely you are simply concentrating more carefully at longer distances. Larry Vickers coined the phrase "aim small, miss small." At close distance the bullseye seems so large it is tempting to aim generally for all that red space rather than a specific point. Next time try to aim for a very specific point rather than the general bullseye area, and concentrate as hard as at longer distance.

An Apology To All
World Ventures? It took Googling for all of 1 minute to see this is a blatant pyramid scam. Stay away. If you're already involved get out and for goodness sake do not hand them another penny or agree to anything else.

Fas1 safe
I strongly prefer a mechanical Simlex style lock like those found on a V-line, Fort Knox or Fas-1. They are simple and reliable. They are all high quality so pick whichever of these is the best size and configuration for your need. A lifetime career in technoogy has taught me not to trust electronic gadgets, especially consumer-grade equipment like Gunvault.
