Old Glock guy

Let me be the first to welcome you aboard.

Here's a post from someone calling himself "launcherman" on a forum at f-16.net: Here's what "Top Shot" champion Chris Reed said in an interview regarding zombies. Q. If the zombie apocalypse starts tomorrow, what’s your weapon of choice? A. .22 long rifle, man. I can tote 5,000 rounds, no problem, and kill anything I want to. Of course, some people are going to go with the ARs and black guns and high-caliber rifles, but when it hits the fan, dude, you give me a duffle bag full of .22 long rifle cartridges and a good semiautomatic. A good Ruger .22 is hard to beat for your typical zombie killing. And maybe a .338 Lapau — that’s bad to the bone. See the whole article here: http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/enterta ... t-050911w/

Anthony always says that women shoot better than men. From my limited experience with that, he may well be correct.

Wombat, sounds like you and the Mrs. had a solid day of training. Nice description of the day's events. And it was good to meet you and Mrs. W. as well. I'm sure we'll cross paths again at GFH.

Some good possibilities have been mentioned. Another thing to consider is TMJ pain. Check to see if you're clenching your teeth as you shoot. Doing so could produce pain in your temporal (temple) areas.

I was originally hoping to get an M&P 15, but it seems like they are in short supply and not readily available, so I picked up this Stag Arms AR yesterday: http://www.stagarms.com/product_info.php?cPath=13_22&products_id=206 I would like to get a red dot optic for it. Any suggestions? The Aimpoint PRO looks pretty good, but I'm wondering if it's the right height. Any help would be much appreciated. Bring on Urban Carbine!

Irishpete, nice summary! I was there, and I also thought it was great training at a wonderful facility. I believe we met and were loading our mags next to one another. Just wish I had known you were a fellow NJGF guy. Hope to see you at another class before long. And yes, I plan to take Simunitions in the near future.

I may swing by GFH on Sunday afternoon to take care of some administrative stuff. Perhaps I'll see you there.

Not sure how to solve your problem, but some of the pictures you posted reminded me of my colonoscopy.

I took the ride out to RTSP last Friday. I had mentioned on other threads that I wanted to shoot there now and then, but it was probably too far from me to make it worthwhile for me to join. As I was driving out there, I started doing the math. At the pre-opening price of $250, which includes five $10 guest passes, I would only need to make it over there 10 times in a year to break even. So for me, joining went from a no to a no-brainer. The place is great! Lots of room, nice inventory for a new business. The range is bright and airy, and the owners are all friendly and helpful. They have clearly invested a lot of their time and money to make the place first-rate. I urge all of you to support them to help make their venture successful.

Nice shooting for your first time out! Have you had any instruction?

That's great! Had me laughing. Plus, that guy has some musical talent. Thanks for posting.

Folks, don't get too excited. That wasn't an article, it was a letter to the editor. And a good one at that.

To answer your question, from the info I saw, it looked like one kit fits several models, with the G17 being among them. As for your second paragraph, yeah, I'm right there with you. It could be ugly.

I have ordered the AA .22 conversion kit for my Glock 34, although they seem to be in short supply, so it could be awhile before I get it. Anyone have experience with these things for Glocks? I want to compete in an RF bullseye league, and I don't want to burn a P2P for a dedicated .22 pistol, especially since I don't even know if I'm going to like shooting in league competition.

Nice acquistion! Congratulations. Oh, and you just answered my question about the barrel length.

Remember, firearm safety is YOUR responsibility. I'm Larry Potterfield, and that's the way it is.

That's great! Jackie Mason is never afraid to speak his mind.

Same here!

As I was running this morning, and small animals were darting about, it reminded me that when Darryl went missing for maybe a few hours or so, he took the time to kill a small animal (looked like a squirrel) and eat it raw. After he had tumbled down an embankment and been impaled on an arrow, would it really have been such a big deal to miss lunch that day?

Harry, I understood what you meant right away, probably because I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of DD coffee. (And I hope no one gets confused about what the double D's mean.)

Now that you mention it, it sure looks that way.

BTW, did I mention how jealous I am of that Asian kid? IMHO that farmer's daughter is by far the hottest woman on the show (but that's not really saying a lot).

Yeah, good thing she's such a lousy shot!

I've got them. They're a bit expensive, but kind of fun.
