Displaced Texan

The last link I posted are Magpul marked .458 mags….I don’t know if they can feed 5.56 from them. Is having a factory marked mag enough to show it is ‘only’ intended for the caliber specified? I also don’t know if owning a mag MARKED as .458 Socom will keep you out of NJ PMITA prison either..

Here’s a couple https://www.calegalmags.com/458-SOCOM-Magazine-Follower-USGI_p_1397.html https://tromix.com/product/center-feed-followers-for-lancer-mags/ https://www.dark-storm.com/parts/magazines/ar-15-magazines/magpul-pmag-gen-m3-458-socom-10-rnd-magazine-black/

I seem to remember some mags (PMags maybe?!) having a follower marked .458 Socom. Think NJ will buy it?

Back when we lived in NJ, our favorite wings were at 814 South in Stratford, NJ. Address is 814 South White Horse Pike. It was right down the street from us. Many knew it as ‘Shady Katie’s’ for many years, but the owners changed the name awhile back. All of their wings rock, but we especially liked the garlic/parm.

I’ll see you bacon, eggs, and biscuit and raise you sausage, egg, and cheese scrambles with fresh made tortillas. Sans hot sauce, I love it, but it doesn’t love me at 2am.

Buy me a package of Taylor Ham for Christmas…I wanna try this mythical product!

My wife used to work for the board of pension for Presbyterian church USA. OMG what a bunch of liberal assholes. It’s difficult to believe some of the shit that goes on there..

When I want wings, I make them myself. Smoked bbq wings are the best wings. Especially with a little home made bleu cheese..

Illinois is also getting deeper into the game: https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/witness-slips-stack-up-as-illinois-house-committee-set-to-debate-more-gun-restrictions-monday/article_18caab00-7729-11ed-9b84-47ec1ed8a10b.html No matter the state you live in, we all need to get into the fight.

I really want her to give me a package of Taylor Ham for Christmas. I’ve heard so much about that stuff, but have never in my life seen it. Maybe it’s mythical…

I’d like to see another dem slide over to the independent side. Joe Mansion?

Keeping with the Texas theme, I’m trying this next. My liquor dealer highly recommended it. What the hell…

I might have done this before!

Right, I’m aware of the higher mass producing more force. I thought about trying some higher velocity loads but didn’t have any with me at the time. In regard to noise, it would likely not be a huge difference in the suppressed G44, as the barrel is too short for the round to go supersonic, but it more likely would be an issue in the 10/22. I do think the CCI high velocity would have cycled the G44/can with no issue. No worries, I’m content to use the G44 unsuppressed as a low cost training pistol for my G19. They are of the same physical size, although the weight is different. Shooting stuff is fun. Shooting stuff suppressed is more fun!

I got their ‘feelings’ hanging….

From the article: “Magazine capacity restrictions and permitting requirements have a proven track record: they save lives!" Rosenblum said in a statement. "We are confident the Oregon Constitution — like the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution — allows these reasonable regulations." Prove it. The data from the Clinton AWB showed it didn’t make any difference.

Those are lower velocity than what I was shooting. 950fps vs 1050fps. I was going to experiment around with different loads to see what cycled, but decided to use the 10/22 as a dedicated host for that suppressor instead.

A little after range report with the G44. I fired it using CCI standard velocity .22LR rounds. First, was unsuppressed with the factory barrel. It performed as one expects from a box stock Glock. It functioned perfectly, without any break in. I probably fired 50 rounds through it, it’s more accurate than I can shoot it. I added the threaded barrel, and shot it unsuppressed for about another 50 rounds. Same story as above. No surprise there. I then attached my suppressor (Texas Silencer Company’s ‘Scoundrel’ can). I shot another 50 rounds through it, with mixed results. There was a slight POI vertical shift, no big deal. Expected. What I didn’t expect was random failures to eject. I’d say about 30% of the time. Not the kind of reliability I was expecting. I was alone in an indoor range, I took off my hearing pro off to get a sense of how quiet it was, the cycle of the action was all you heard. No FRP either. I wound up putting the can on my 10/22, as I’m not happy with the reliability of it on the G44. I’ll make the 10/22 my dedicated host. It ran flawlessly with the can, and is even quieter (less cyclic mass). In any case, shooting suppressed is fun.
