High Exposure

It ain't mine. I shot it at the S&W Factory Range in Springfield MA while I was there for an Armorer's school in 2004. It was stout. Not fun to shoot at all. I also shot the 10" PC model, that wasn't as bad, but still spicy.

Ok then.... What's your opinion on it and on what information did you develop it? What do the guys that you know that have used the FN 5.7x28 round in a shooting have to say about the effectiveness of the round? Why don't you be a little more productive on the topic then just calling me a liar...

M&P .45

I don't have one but I have shot one. I don't see the allure. It is a hard to find and expensive round that performs fairly poorly and in NJ you don't even get the full capacity of the weapon as designed. It was pretty accurate, comfy in the hand and and soft recoiling and I guess it is better than a .22 but other than that Meh. If you an on using it for anything other then target shooting/competitions I would not recommend it. I know a few guys that have shot people in the line of duty and they report terrible terminal effects. I have seen deer put down with them as well with similar results. Very underwhelming. There is some more info here about them on page 2 & 3: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/58294-the-best-fighting-pistol-ever-made/page-2

I like the reported brightness, but I am not Streamlight/Insight fan. I have had too many of their products go tits-up on me to recommend them. Their CS is great, but the best CS ever doesn't help me keep 24 lights on the road when they keep breaking. The best CS is high QC so you don't need CS in the first place, and here is where Streamlight seems to be lacking a bit. I have been running 4 of them since they came out without a hiccup and am very happy with the product. I used SF CS once about a year ago, when the rail grabber on an 6 year old light broke. They took care of it immediately and upgraded me to an X300U at no cost and without me asking. I was just given authorization to transition the whole Department to SF X300Us.

Drop it again. The new scratches will help you get over the old scratches.

It just goes to show the the media does not five a flying fu€k about accuracy, just that they got it first. Does anyone think this is the first time they didn't fact check a story? This is just the first time they got caught.

Glock

We ran drills all morning on the range in full kit - war belt, armor and plates with helmet. When we finished that we went to an empty school - no AC - and worked on entries. It was brutal.

I took an EAG class in PA in Jan that was just over the border, but it was a .mil and LEO only class because the venue was a County LEO Training center and that was their rules.

The cost is actually reasonable. The biggest stumbling block is NJ's Firearms Laws. I have talked to Pat extensively about this, to no avail.

Logistical nightmare, but it would be groovy

Excellent choice! If they make one for your platform, I strongly suggest picking up a Surefire DG switch as well. LAPolicegear.com usually has them on sale. Good Luck!

According to my understanding of ITAR, yes.

There's not much local. I usually end up driving the 4-6 hours and getting a Hotel. For the calilber of instructor I am looking for to teach the information I am seeking, it's the only way to fly. Every now and then you can get lucky and VTAC or Trident comes through with an Open enrollment class. Check Sig Academy in NH, they have good stuff occasionally.

ITAR is no joke. Not only does it cover physical items, like weapon parts, NODs, Optics and armor, but training too. If you train a foreign national/non US citizen on firearms in a professional capacity you are violating ITAR and are subject to federal prosecution. Remember at SHOT a few years back there were all those arrests - that was all ITAR related.

I always store my rifles with the Bolt forward on an empty chamber with a mag in place. I conduct my initial loading by running the CH. There is nothing wrong with loading like that. If you can't figure out the issue you are having, it needs to be addressed.

So whatcha gonna bring to shoot?

Bring it bro! Come shoot in OB since I can't shoot in CJ.

Intriguing... But not this time. I have no support gear for my 15-3 - no Holster, only 1 speed loader, 1 speed strip, and most importantly, not enough .38 ammo I will throw it in the truck though with the 50 rounds that I do have maybe we can do a little side shooting. Dave is usually cool with that. I am planning on shooting my stock G35 and my G35 with RDS as a test to see if I got any better with the RDS. I figure shooting the same stages with each gun will give me a decent benchmark for progress. No MP5 this time.... Oh, fuck it, who am I kidding... I will throw it in the truck too

Lol beat me to it!

Laaaaame

Anyone going this Sunday for Real Deal Steel?

Awesome! Spend away amigo. Post a photo of the new setup when it is complete.
