High Exposure

I have never met the man face to face. He is DSG Bloom when acting professionally and Mr. Bloom otherwise - until he gives me permission to call him anything else. I was raised to say Mr, Mrs, Miss, and Ms and to use titles and honorifics as necessary when addressing strangers or if I am talking about a friend/acquaintance that would be a stranger to the person I am talking to. DSG Bloom is the only person to give permission to call him Brett. Not me. Not meant to be on a high horse, just the way I was raised. Now, back to your regularly scheduled topic.

Correct.

Peel - good to go on all points. Like I said - friendly reminder to all, nothing specific. He worked hard to make DSG. That should be recognized if he is acting in his official capacity.

I don't know what the problem is - but I am pretty sure that a "dirty barrel" - it can't be that dirty after only a few weeks of ownership - won't create a 6" change in POI. I have thousands of rounds through my Glocks. I have never done more than run a boresnake through the barrel and I have never seen an overnight change in accuracy as what is being reported. First guess is something is wrong with the sights. Second guess is Ammo related. Third is something happened to the barrel. Fourth is user error. You are doing something a little bit different. The truth is probably a combination of all four. What ammo where you using each time? Did the barrel or gun get dropped? Is the crown undamaged?

This is not aimed at anyone in particular, just a friendly reminder from someone that works in an extremely conservative municipality and is a staunch supporter of the 2A, who is assigned to speak publicly whenever the subject of "Gun Rights" is brought up in my community. Remember folks - NJSP is only the enforcement arm. They don't make the laws. They don't name or define the criteria for assault weapons. They don't write the policies governing permitting, etc... The legislature makes the laws, then the AG/NJDCJ figures out how to implement the laws into practice in a way the NJSC will deem Constitutional*. We finally have a real live person in DSG Bloom that is open to our requests and believes in sharing info with the public. He is a big believer in the 2A. He actually puts stuff in writing via Email! I know for a fact that he has to regularly measure what he wants to say against what he's allowed to say. He knows the system is jacked. Unfortunately he is in no position to fix it directly and he is not going to bad mouth his agency. Having someone like DSG Bloom available to us has been a long time coming. Let's not put him in a bad spot by making him speculate on things he can't control and shouldn't guess about. Making him choose between personally held beliefs and official policy:State law at an event like this is uncomfortable at best, self defeating and career ending at worst. Asking specifics regarding the laws we currently have will yield the best results. Any question that requires speculation on the future - especially with the elections looming - will be hard to answer. *We may not agree with it, but somewhere a judge has deemed our firearm laws acceptable as they currently stand.

Ha! You thought wrong! I couldn't pass this up.

Hoping for full credit and details sometime, but the official 82 ABN Twitter account just posted this: High resolution 2048 px wide: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHw4jezUIAABsdZ.jpg:large

Stop when you only need glasses.

If they are selling 17Ms, I need one... That 1911 is a pretty good photoshop job! I would buy one.

I got an email. They are shipping mine. They just wanted to know if I wanted the brake pinned before they sent it.

My guess is either a civilian version of the 17M or MHS offering with safety. Ooooooooo..... maybe it is the Glock Carbine they have been talking about for years.

Tons of photos online.

The rifle is held vertically in the clam shell of the safe. The lug holds the weight of the rifle secured and keeps it from slipping/sliding down out of the safe even with the door open. I don't know if storing ARs in a regular safe with a loaded mag and bolt locked to the rear is the best choice without some kind of chamber flag or lug to keep the bolt open until you want it to go home. Too many chances for Murphy to get involved. A full mag on a closed bolt with the safety on is the way to go if you want to keep mags in the guns in the safe. Keep in mind, this particular safe isn't for storage - its to keep a rifle ready for HD. Bump in the night - open safe, pull rifle, smack bolt release - good to go. In this instance, bolt to the rear, loaded mag makes sense - but there is still a lug to ensure the bolt doesn't go into battery until you want it to.

And a magnet strong enough to work would be nearly impossible to swap quickly for another card.

Wow..... Ok. I'm out of this thread. Good luck Matty.

Good info John. The rifle I keep in there has a Magpul Fixed carbine stock installed. It works fine. I never run a fully collapsed stock so I never would have even thought about that. Side note - I have a 15/20 in there as it sits but a USGI 30 rounder with Magpul Ranger Plate will fit. I like the ejection port lug. Just keep the rifle on safe and the bolt locked back with a loaded mag in the well. Even if the bolt goes home the rifle is still on safe, and you follow the commonly accepted firearms safety rules - you are good to go.

Have you lost it? Revenge? Seriously? NJ Cops fucking hate Christy and we love Trump. I don't know a cop that feels different. If you think the cops on the street aren't pissed about all this shit for the same reasons you are, you need to seriously think again. As for this particular incident - NYPD is so large you could find more Cops there that have seen UFOs than the number that attended this rally. Reality - It's a non issue In Liberal-land - It's proof that CK was right and cops support him.

Tried the Aimpoint 3x magnifier in a LaRue FTS mount for quite some time. Had it behind an Aimpoint M4, a couple of T1s (2 and 4moa versions) and some PROs. Took multiple multi-day classes with it. I just couldn't warm up to it and ended up trading it for a Trijicon RMR. It was heavy, gave the rifle a weird balance when flipped to side, hung up on stuff, I was measurably slower inside 100 yards. Zeke, just get a PRO and call it a day. Unless you are planning on regularly shooting people over 100 yards away or doing a lot of benchrest type shooting, you will be much better served with an Aimpoint and a pair of 8x binoculars. Spend the money you would have spent on the magnifier and buy ammo and take a class. You will get better results at all distances. If you think you absolutely have to have a magnified optic, get a 1-6 variable powered scope. Vortex Strike Eagle is hard to beat for the $$.

Add that to this and forget it. How can Col Powers well written statement have any impact after this? When did the US become an insane asylum? We are doomed.... http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/nypd-cops-rally-support-colin-kaepernick-brooklyn-article-1.3425792?utm_content=bufferd50d0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=NYDailyNewsTw

They say the exact location will be held back.

RIP Sailors. I think this is pretty cool! The final resting place of the USS Indianapolis has been found in the Philippine Sea at a depth of more than 18,000 feet. Some cool pictures at the links below. https://www.stripes.com/news/navy/wreckage-of-sunken-wwii-warship-uss-indianapolis-discovered-navy-announces-1.483641#.WZi8J_H3aEd http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=102031

Whatever you do - don't drop it or throw it over the berm.

Oh boy. Amando, you need to talk to someone in the know in your chain of command and possibly an attorney your agency uses. Don't make decisions that can affect your career and freedom based on info you receive online or from agencies outside your state that don't know you or your job.

Yup. I have a Geissele SDE. Do not like it as much as my SSA triggers.
