Shocker

Theoretically the pressure in your ammo could go down a bit and the grease in your guns could thicken both of which might cause malfunctions but the last time I was out in this weather I quit before my guns did. I'm not in any hurry to rush back out to do it again, either

I like my Simplisafe system. The only complaint that I would have is their app is very basic. Now Nest, Ring, Honeywell and myriad others have comparable systems. I don't know if they call home with internet, though (bad!) or cellular (better) or a combination Simplisafe (and maybe all the others) use Z-Wave communication which is only 800-900MHz plus there's no standard so each company's interconnect is proprietary - which is why you can't mix and match components. At least, that's how I understood it.

The limited Hexmags (10/30 and 15/30) also use shorter springs - use a full spring with their riser and you can't fill it; use a limited spring without the riser and it won't feed. That's why they can't be readily converted back to full-capacity without needing to permanently affix the baseplate just throwing in that "mag block" is not permanent unless you epoxy the baseplate on or something IANAL

I've ridden in my coworker's...it's a great sleeper. There's even a button inside the car to make your exhaust a little quieter when you're trying not to wake the babies Edit: I forgot, I think @Pizza Bob has one, IIRC

Wow I didn’t know anybody else knew about Paradigms! Love mine

As it happens I have a brand new Carrier 98% condensing furnace with an A-coil that I don't need. I was going to split my house into two zones but I'm moving instead. Was a $1200 unit and $400 coil if youre interested I'll give you a great deal, let me know Have 15 feet or so of slip and drive duct work too

Edit for my own reading comprehension 0.009 sounds like an awful lot but I've not used these types of bullets. Seating by the ogive will be better for accuracy but your resulting OAL measurements will be all over the place (not that it's a problem necessarily, at 1.120 you're quite short and shouldn't have to worry about feeding) If you're really in love with these bullets I know some die manufacturers will cut you a custom seating stem if you send them a bullet, which will grip the bullets down near where the rifling will first engage, which is optimal

If this deal dries up, Gov/Mil/1st responders can get it for $1230 at Govx. They also have the VMR-2 reticle as an option there.

I can sponsor. Pretty sure DD214 is sufficient.

+1 on the ZT 0450, I have a 0450G10 for carry with dress slacks. I've heard it called a "gentleman's folder" and I can buy that. Had to pick up a deep carry clip off ebay as I didn't like the factory clip but NBD.

FBI cant is 15-20 degrees so you'd have to be about 16 feet tall to worry about pointing beyond 3' but, yeah I forgot about those USPSA reverse cant holsters

To be clear, Straight draw is a recommendation. There's no rule against cant, and I run a Safariland GLS with FBI cant in both IDPA and USPSA

There's one pin to remove in the beaver tail and the sear block slides out, freeing the trigger bar. There are two pins and the takedown lever above the trigger to remove to slide that section out and free the trigger and return spring. Then you swap the trigger and put everything back. No sweat.

Also on sale at Primary Arms, not sure the percentage S&H may be the deciding factor

Ahh...memories of Birch Hill...saw Arch Enemy, Lamb of God, In Flames and a few others that I can no longer recall there. Saw Pro-Pain at a local place that I can't remember happy to to say that I saw Pantera (among others that we DGAF about) at Ozzfest in Camden, I think it was called the tweeter center at the time. I remember hearing about some place in Clifton but never made it to a show there before I moved out of the area. Is that place still there?

I have an SSA and I love it but it's only because the G2S was sold out on Black Friday. It's the same trigger...get the G2S.

What they really want to say is "don't use out-of-spec ammo" but that's not realistic (can gauge cartridges if you really wanted to but double charges are invisible once completed*). "Don't use reloads" is as close as they can get. But we all know in-spec reloads are just as safe as anything else. EDIT: *yes, some over/under charges might be spotted by weighing but it's probably in the noise of other component variations unless it's a gross error

http://www.hornady.com/support/critical-duty-and-critical-defense By the way, this all seems like a whole bunch of semantics that hasn't been tested in court. The EFMJ is obviously not a hollowpoint but its certainly expanding ammunition (it's right in the damn acronym). OTOH open tip match rifle bullets are definitely hollowpoints but they are NOT expanding ammunition. Is anybody concerned about getting jammed up with Sierra Matchkings rolling around in their car? There are plenty of other things to worry about

No, you have to assume its permanent. The safest way is cut, tie and cauterize. If the dick doc goes in trying to make it temporary the risk of accidental pregnancy goes up. And I've hear tales of people who have had accidents post-snip.

The trigger bar is stamped so you get a rough edge. IDK how they make the striker block (MIM?) but surface finish is clearly not a concern. Then on top of it all the plunger rides up and down a hole that is drilled before final surface treatment so that's rough too. If the "grittiness" is in the first stage of the trigger pull then that's what you're feeling. If it's in the second stage then the grit is from the trigger bow sliding on the bottom of the sear, or the MIM sear camming the striker back. APEX machines their sears and striker blocks to solve each of these issues.

Just a note - that's the old non XLP kit. The old one has a removable rod for cleaning but the XLP fits under many hand guards. Unfortunately the XLP has to come off to clean which may be an issue with a pinned muzzle device I love my Adams setup, BTW Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, picked up some PMC JHP for 22 cents per round...it's not a bonded HP but still that's crazy cheap compared to what the other guys are asking https://www.freedommunitions.com/pmc-40-s-w-165-jhp-50ct-box.html Some 9mm left in stock as of now too

It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that the losers would protest. It doesn't cost them much besides their lawyers' fees at that point. And if they catch the gov not crossing a T somewhere they get a do-over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, the striker block would catch the shoulder of the striker normally. But the striker block spring affects the trigger pull because the trigger first has to lift the striker block plunger so I would guess that spring was also lightened to the point the plunger may have been stuck in the "deactivated" position. Or even worse, the plunger was missing (it's not required for the gun to function). There are also anecdotal reports of the striker block shoulder wearing down due to mistiming of the fire control assembly. Apex (sear) and S&W (trigger bar) have both updated their hardware since the first models came out.

Yes I don't know if I was aware of any 5's in .40 when I bought my 4.25 (maybe there was, idk) but I shoot mine ok in IDPA and USPSA. I shoot a 5" 1911 in IDPA also and it's not apples to apples but, yes, it's easier to aim. You're not going to carry it so there's not too many reasons to get the shorter slide. You can remove the thumb safeties if that ends up being the only hangup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
