High Exposure

Yeager is the king douche retard of gun owners and the grand poobah of the affliction wearing Ed Hardy worshipping "bros" of the firearms community. The people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous but not enough ability to fight their way out of a paper bag. He's the same guy that went on national TV after Newtown and said he was going to start killing people Yeager is all that is wrong with the tactical training industry and thinks of himself as the "bad boy" of tactical shooting. Nothing he preaches makes sense, nothing he teaches is accepted by any real instructors, nothing he teaches is safe or useful. His only claim to fame is quitting a cop job after a few years to be a contractor in Iraq and then freezing during an ambush and getting co-workers killed - look up "Route Irish Ambush" for his cowardice and combat I effectiveness. I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on him if he was on fire. His outbursts and tirades are hurting the gun owning community and scaring regular people, pushing fence sitters to the anti side, more than this video ever will. You and I and others with some sense if what is appropriate can look at this video and see that something is wrong. Total neophytes and those who "don't know what they don't know" see either something so tactical it's gotta be legit or think that's just the way it should be. Yes, I have shot with folks downrange from me while learning and training for real world CQB and HR work. I have done it in shoot houses and on square ranges, live fire and Sims/FoF. For certain tasks it needs to be done in training before you do it on a real job. These two videos however are not how it's done.

First, don't lighten springs in the FCG. You lose reliability for an incremental increase in subjective "feel". Terrible trade. I have no long term experience with the ALG. I know that it is a mil-spec trigger "tuned" by Geissele so I know it is quality and should last. I have fired it and my impression - meh. Subjectively it was minimally better than the stock trigger in my Colts or the Stag parts kits I use when building a lower up. The ALG offered no improvement to my shooting and I had to really pay attention to notice any difference at all in the feel when doing anything but bench shooting. This is where the "You get what you pay for" thing rears it's ugly head. You will spend 1/4-1/3 of the cost of a SSA but will get performance much less than expected or desired. The Geissele is expensive because it does two things the others don't: It provides an exceptional trigger with a good balance of smooth, crisp, and light AND It is durable and will last long after other triggers with a comparable "feel" have given up the ghost The Geissele is the only aftermarket trigger that I have seen last through high round count classes or true tactical training and is the only aftermarket trigger I will put in my rifles - I prefer the SSA version as it meets my needs for a tactical gun that is used in "social settings", instead of shooting at the range or off a bench, but I do have a SDE in an SPR type I built. My advice, save up and get the right trigger the first time. If you are against that I say go for the ALG - at least it will last longer that an RRA, JP, Timmey, etcetera....

A "lock down" and a "shelter in place" are two completely different things and done for different reasons.

Glock 19 or 17 ETA: Make sure you get the Advantage Arms (AA) .22 conversion kit. The others out there aren't as reliable.

You are right, if it was my kid, I would go to the ends of the earth to help him. I wouldn't expect society, the judicial system, or anyone else to deal with his crap or allow him to use his addiction as an excuse to not take responsibility for his actions. This difference between it being my son the lying thieving hype and some other lying, thieving hype you ask? It's MY son. I am partly responsible for how he turns out and it wil be my responsibility in society to make ammends for his atrocious behavior. You want to wish him dead for the pain he may have caused you and the burden he put on society? I would understand it, and agree with it as it is likely well deserved. I have a family friend that lost his 2 sons. One at work in an accident and one over time due to addiction. The first hurt him deeply, the second broke him. He admits that he wished his addicted son had simply died in an accident like his brother instead of living as an addict for years before he finally OD'd. He said waiting for his addict son to die was a hell unlike anything be could explain. He knew his death was inevitable and nothing he could do would save him, but had to try to help him. Court case after court case, rehab stints, MVAs, jail, prison, stealing from family and friends, deviancy... he got to experience it all thanks to his junkie son. And in the end, he finally got the phone call he waited for for 7 years. His son was found dead of an OD and my family friend finally found peace. He said that he slept the best he had since he found out his son was a junkie the night after that call. I don't wish death on anyone's child, but I understand his sentiment. His sons were both friends of mind and while I didn't feel the loss of a father, I understand his rationale. He has good memories of his first son, healthy memories to hold on to full of love and joy. Of his addict son all he has left is pain, bills, and heartache. Fuck junkies.

I know an easy 4 step process that will make those holster marks disappear: Step 1) Make sure it is unloaded Step 2) Drop it on a gravel driveway Step 3) Repeat step 2 ten times Step 4) Tie it to your bumper and drag it behind your car for 1-2 miles I guarantee that you won't even see those holster marks after that. Or, get over it and go to the range and shoot the piss out of it, 'cause it's a gun.

I deal with hypes on a regular basis. I loathe them. They will do whatever it takes to get their next fix - lie, steal from family, rob strangers, hurt their kids and sell themselves all in the name of them getting theirs. And the whole time they cry that they are the real victims - "it's not my fault I almost killed my 4 month old, I have a problem" "I didn't mean to beat that guy half to death, I was high, I can't be held accountable for what I do high." "My elderly mom didn't need her grocery money this week" They embody all that is evil in the human race. As far as those that get "accidentally" hooked because of exposure to prescribed pain medicine... I have my own opinions and should probably keep them to myself. Suffice to say I have little patience or sympathy for those that ought to know better but do it anyway then cry foul and act blameless. I save my compassion for the rest of the family that is devastated by their actions.

I bet many more people died from alcohol related issues than heroin overdoses. Small state? Maybe geographically, but heroin is a people problem not a land problem. Viewed from a people perspective NJ is quite large, I think we have the 11th highest population in the nation with around 9 million residents and are number 1 in population density with around 1100 - 1200 people per square mile. Anyway, only 368? That's a good start but I was hoping it would be more.... I say legalize heroin. Make it free, give them all they want and more but - they sign a waiver declining all medical attention. The heroin problem will be over in a year and the mortuary business will see an uptick in business.

Fixed it for you Shooting with a carry strap or single point sling does nothing to assist your performance.

PM Medic2264 on this forum. I think he has some steel left. I have bought a few targets off of him, easy transaction and quality product.

I don't have details on the photo other than it is an "after" pic of a ND. I am guessing the "exit" wound looks a little weird because it has been surgically cleaned up, with bone fragments and dead tissue already removed as it is shown halfway stitched up.

Rule 2: Don't point a gun at anything you don't want a hole in. Rule 3: Keep your booger hook off the bang switch.

First of all, words mean things. Even on an inter web forum. You say it, expect to be called on it. Second, define "a little authority." How fast or slow you pull a trigger should have ZERO to do with how a Glock functions. More than likely, it translates to how solid or loose your grip is and how you are handling recoil, but the only observable/demonstrable factor of those two causes is how fast you are jerking the trigger. Third, you are endorsing a firearm to folks that are planning on using for self defense. This isn't a new tennis racket. If what you recommend fails it could have dire consequences. As stated above, what you are describing is not "fine" and I am not laughing. There are no excuses being made, the weapon is faulty and needs to be sent back to Glock.

I agree. 9mm is my limit as a primary carry gun as well - I do have a LCP that is related to BUG or 3UG under certain circumstances. I have two pistols that are not Glocks. One is a the aforementioned LCP the other is a Kahr PM9. It works well in its intended role in my CCW routine as it will pass the "concealed" test in certain situations where the G27/G23 will not. I carry two 7 round mags as reloads for my PM9 and use them when qualifying. I have never had any reliability issues when using them instead of the flush fit 6 round mags. In fact the only issue I have ever had my my Kahr was when the plastic mag catch gave up the ghost during a practice session. I replaced it with a new metal version and haven't had a problem since. While I will occasionally carry a smaller gun as a primary carry peice (G27 or PM9 as mentioned above) 90% of the time I carry a G23/22/35 when CCW - I am mandated to carry a G22 at work. I am demonstrably and measureably faster AND more accurate with full size guns as I spend the majority of my training and practice time on them. I am also of the opinion that if I ever need to skin a blaster and go to work I would prefer to have every reasonable advantage in speed and accuracy at my disposal. I have said it before and I am saying it again: Why design a gun around a smaller cartridge first and then try to jam the larger round into the smaller frame as they did with the 17/22? Granted, .40 S&W was not around when the 17 was first created, but they saw how that worked out with unsupported chambers, KBs, WML issues, ejection problems, etc.... I just don't understand why they would set themselves up for those kinds of issues again.

WTF is a "soft" or "firm" trigger pull? It takes what it takes to trip the striker, there is no "firm" or "soft" about it. 5.5lbs is 5.5lbs (or whatever the pull weight on the G42 is) and trigger control is trigger control. Are you referring to jerking or slapping the trigger vs. a controlled press straight to the rear? If so that is a garbage argument for reliability. Is "You are pressing the trigger wrong!" going to replace "You are limp wristing!" and "You are using underpowered ammo!" As Glock's customer service response? If I have to slap the trigger to get the gun to fire reliably, there is an issue. Regardless, if I have to manipulate the gun in only a specific way for it to function, it is unreliable and flawed, all their claims of "Perfection" to the contrary. Keep in mind I say this as a dedicated Glock user, and a Glock fan. I have 6 of their pistols, and carry one daily as an issued gun, a BUG and an off-duty piece. I have a G35 and a G22 each with 10s of thousands of rounds through them in training. I also am in charge of my agencies firearms program and chose Glock as our service weapon. Anyway, I have said it before and I am saying it again: Why design a gun around a smaller cartridge first and then try to jam the larger round into the smaller frame as they did with the 17/22? Granted, .40 S&W was not around when the 17 was first created, but they saw how that worked out with unsupported chambers, KBs, WML issues, ejection problems, etc.... I just don't understand why they would set themselves up for those kinds of issues again.

Quick Point of Order: Glock has three mechanical safeties that are engaged when the weapon is charged - the firing pin safety, the drop safety, and the trigger safety. These 3 safeties are automatically disengaged as you press the trigger with no need to press any other levers or buttons to render the gun "hot". Glocks are also only partially cocked when charged, meaning your trigger press completes cocking and releases the striker - technically making a Glock a double action only pistol if we are sticking to traditional auto-pistol nomenclature. Therefore a Glock, when carried with one in the chamber as it should be, is technically in condition 1.5. However, for the sake of the ease of conversation it is generally referred to as being in Condition one as the striker is around 60% cocked (M&P series pistols, and I think XD series as well, are around 80%-90% cocked) when charged. The same applies to other common striker fired pistols - M&P, Xd, etc...

I keep mine in a Tactical Tailor Multitool/knife pouch.

Carrying with an empty chamber demonstrates an inherent uncomfortably with firearms, a weak mindset, and a lack of confidence in your skill set. It also shows an unfamiliarity with the quickness that violence occurs, a willingness to rely on luck for your personal safety and a lack of understanding of the basic TTPs required to successfully defend yourself in a deadly force encounter.

If you aren't carrying with one in the chamber, you are wrong.

105mm or B52

Checko and I were just talking about that show. I am excited for season 2. Oh and:
