15rd Magpul Glock 17 mag update
We're waiting on host magazines with corrected bodies to come in but we'll be shipping 15rd Glock 17 Magpul mags to dealers soon. The wholesale backorder list is pretty deep already and once we're through it, they'll be available through our webstore as well. Like our AR and AK mags, these will be internally blocked and baseplates affixed to prevent disassembly.

Garland TX: Shots Fired at Mohammed Art Contest
Probably old and misused. Soft armor degrades over time. Or he just head/neck shotted them.

What to get as investment?
IMO, the only guns that appreciate are machine guns, rare collectible pieces, and high-end O/U shotguns. In general, I consider guns to be similar to wrenches. They're a tool designed to serve a purpose and through normal use, will pick up character/wear.

Glock 43 (Single Stack 9mm?)
If I get another good sized shipment of them, I'll kick you one if you want.

Garland TX: Shots Fired at Mohammed Art Contest
Personally, I've taken this event as a reason to train harder. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a Mumbai-style attack in a sleepy midwest town because such a target is an icon of American culture.

Garland TX: Shots Fired at Mohammed Art Contest
It could have been a case of, "Let's see what happens when we poke a hard target" to test our response too.

Garland TX: Shots Fired at Mohammed Art Contest
ISIS had to send their two dumbest recruits on this one. I mean, it's dumb enough for two guys with AKs to try to launch a Charlie Hebdo-style attack on US soil let alone do it in Texas, one of the most heavily armed states in the country. Whoever came up with this plan must have sent the two guys he hated the most or was after those two guys' goats...

Glock 43 (Single Stack 9mm?)
I had a few come in. I checked out the first one and it was what I expected and nothing more so off it went. Sold them all in under 24 hours at a decent price so I'm not complaining.

This is the way I'd go if I wasn't doing it on the press.

TIME FOR NEW CELL PHONE & GOOGLE PROJECT FI
No doubt. My wife and I were paying $130/month to AT&T. My in-laws were paying $140/month to US Cellular. We saved $180/month by combining our plans and switching to Ting.

Winning??????
But he has a wife so while the women may be horned up and ready to go, he won't be able to lend a helping hand. The best course here may be to offer to drive the wife and her hottest, bi-curious female friend to the event and be their DD so they can get trashed while staring at their eye candy. Then driving them home and seeing if he can't parlay it into a threesome

TIME FOR NEW CELL PHONE & GOOGLE PROJECT FI
Call me weird but I'm starting to move away from Google products. I'm tired of being their product and them mining my emails or location data. I stopped using Gmail for this reason and now use Outlook for my personal email. My next phone won't be an Android-based phone but will likely be a Windows phone. With Google offering cell phone service, I can't help but wonder just how much more data mining subscribers will be allowing them to conduct as part of the terms of service. As far as cell service, we use Ting which is a contract-less provider that runs on the Sprint network. They've recently added a GSM network as well. We pay $90/month for four lines and you pay for what you use. Ting's customer service has also been absolutely stunning. I've only had sour experiences with Verizon and AT&T customer service so Ting was a refreshing change.

Nice article on choosing a choke - surprising
No kidding, I love it!

Nice article on choosing a choke - surprising
Perfect timing. I just had a Beretta A400 Xcel Parallel Target with 32" barrel come in as a gift to myself.

What did you take to the range most recently?
I've noticed that almost every new woman shooter I've taken to the range has been an above average shooter. I suspect it's because I'm conditioned to shooting with men and men seem to be more apt to pull the trigger while women seem to be more patient and will wait for the sight picture and squeeze the trigger rather than pull.

S&W Shield bullet weight/SD Ammo
For M&Ps, I prefer faster, lighter bullets and +p loadings. The reason is, the M&P design seems to suffer from premature unlocking which is detrimental to accuracy. I've found that with my full-size and Pro, when I'm pushing the lighter bullets faster, they're a little more accurate than sending slower loads or heavy 147s.

What did you take to the range most recently?
Just got back from the range I've been building/manicuring on the shop property. A few hours out there is amazingly therapeutic. View from the 100 yd position. The middle of the grove of trees is a 50yd position. 20yds in front of the 100yd position is a pistol bay. If you were in the pistol bay, the 100yd position would be at your 2 o'clock. 6.5C LMT MWS with a SiCo Harvester on top and my .308 Mega frankenbuild with AAC 762SDN6 on bottom. I typically don't like the 25rd .308 mags but I was monopodding off this one which worked surprisingly well. My rifle stovepiped on this round. I knew something was off so I checked the brass and found an empty primer pocket. The primer was in the lower. I've noticed Hornady brass is pretty inconsistent with primer pockets with some being very loose and others being excessively tight. Seeing as my rifle malfunctioned, I'm guessing it was a hot load...

How much ammo is enough ammo!
I just moved 125lbs of reloaded machine gun fodder from my press room to storage. That comes out to about 4K-ish rounds of .223. Not bad for a few hours over the week.

15/30 AK Magazines
http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/15_30_MidwestPX_Magpul_MOE_AK47_PMAG_Black_p/mwpx-1530akmoeblk.htm There are a few left in the supply chain. Dealers have been backordering mags due to a production problem with the newest batches of blocks (none of the problematic ones shipped...caught it before that).

Open Carry Proponent Attacked with Bat in Attempt to Steal His Pistol
I've said it before and I'll say it again: open carry is stupid.
