Shocker

I figured it was a given that the slide moved before bullet exit, it's just with that short recoil operation you're trying to keep the barrel parallel for as long as possible until the barrel link (or cam or locking block or whatever) unlocks the barrel and tips it That's a youtube copy of a video thats downloadable at Tripp's site also. That cutaway 1911 is fantastic. Skip to 2:13 for muzzle view.

Yup business as usual. Carry the biggest cities and carry the state http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/10/new_jersey_senate_election_county-by-county_map_of_results.html

Diesel is a different animal than gasoline engines BTW, my toyota beater had its oil changed every 3k by my dad. When I bought it from him i went to every 7.5k. Engine is going strong at 196k but everything else is falling apart around it. So pick your poison.

The ending was terrible, didn't fit the movie at all. But later I read about a ton of rewrites and new writers and it makes sense that it's totally disjointed. Apparently the original script had an ending more similar to the book, although in russia (didn't the book end in canada?) but test audiences thought it was too grim. WTF do they know?

I got a 5.11 off eBay for $25. Served me well for 2 years now, and its "dressy" enough for use with a CCW when traveling in America.

Dry. Fire.

Same stuff as Dyneema. Very nice properties for ballistic protection.

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2013/08/nj_red-light_cameras_ensnaring_motorists_with_quick_yellow_lights_lawmaker_says.html People HAVE challenged them, and they DO win. But that doesn't help the people that just pay the ticket because they don't have the resources to fight.

My main issue with these red light cams is the majority of the money from tickets goes to the contractor running the system. So it's (A) not a big money maker for the localities, although admittedly they expend almost no effort for that little bit of money; and (B) it's a conflict of interest when the red light cam operators can adjust or influence the adjustment of the yellow light timing. And if the cameras eliminate 5 T-bone collisions but add 10 rear-end collisions is that a net gain? Or -2/+20?

How the eff did you get a 0566? Everywhere I look says its still not available!

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/08/29/senders-texts-to-drivers-can-be-held-liable-new-jersey-court-rules/?test=latestnews So apparently if you text someone that you know is driving, and you "expect that they will read your text", it's your fault also if they crash. And who do we suppose gets to decide whether I expected that or not? Seems like thought police again.

Round nose flat point? I tried that at one point and had to seat them waaaaay short to get them to chamber. I think they were Xtreme brand. The flat point meplat pushed the radius of the "round nose" so far out that it would touch the rifling far too early for my tastes. I gave up on those bullets. I also have a gov't Springfield so you'll either have to go shorter or find new bullets.

Gaston is not selling us single stack 9's though

Does that instant polish have dye in it? If so I assume you have to wear only black shirts for a week or two?

Agree with everybody that the gun you had was F'd. The problems you describe could be a binding/clashing striker block spring (would also increase pull weight), a trigger safety that wasn't disengaging, a stuck sear or probably many other things. I'm sure you could find a dozen guys on this board to let you try a working gun. OTOH if you've moved on to another model...that's ok too For the rest of the folks: newer manufacture M&P's have some minor changes in the trigger assemblies that they now have a more positive reset, more like the Shield. I.e. I have the APEX RAM in my full-size but the Shield didn't need it.

Aaaagh! Now I need to sell my Shield and buy a XD-S!!! Just kidding

Seems they trimmed out the suspect that looked white...but whatevs, the message is still true

https://www.oakleysi.com/ Says military retirees are GTG also

I like my Oakley M-Frames. Military and first responders can get them about 60% of retail cost

Eeeek! Twins! I can't even imagine! Then three in COLLEGE! It will be a wild ride. Congrats.

Haha: Desert Sparrow

I have a partial bottle of Power Pistol that you can have, I don't use it any more. It's a slower powder so you can do full power .40's with an impressive fireball. I dont remember off hand how much is left but its not a whole lot, this would just be a stopgap for you

In this instance it's a choice made by the match director at Easton. The new IDPA rules have put liability squarely on the MD and this person feels like the best way to handle it is to vet potential shooters BEFORE match day. Am I a fan? Not really, but if I were him I would want to do my due diligence not to get sued as well. I'm not sure what the thinking at IDPA HQ was on this one.
