High Exposure

PWS makes nice stuff. I’d love to have one of their standard (non piston) guns.

Hey, I have 3 piston guns: An AK An SKS An MSAR (AUG clone) All my ARs are D.I. just like God and Eugene untended!

When people spend $400 on a trigger, instead of $400 on Ammo and range time to practice, and then can’t understand why they don’t shoot better with their fancy new trigger.

I hate when people say “Jam” when they mean malfunction. Jam goes on toast. A machine not working properly malfunctions.

This is my favorite part:

Outlaw Josey Wales for the win!

Outstanding - I look forward to it brother!

Make sure you are not disengaging the internal safeties (drop safety, striker safety) of the gun as you “tighten up” the trigger. That slop is there for a reason and is part of the gun. If you are not sure that it retains the safety standards of an OEM trigger and trigger bar, please, seek the help of a professional. I don’t know that trigger, and I’ve never heard of the company before, but you may run into safety issues when tuning an adjustable Glock trigger. Good Luck!

You may be wrong. You may be right. It’s not unheard of for one investigation and action by one agency to lead to another investigation and action by another. Like I said, I don’t know. It’s just something I heard.

This could be due to some ITARS violations. This is speculation as I am not 100% sure - I’m not totally spun up on ITARS beyond training considerations - but it is something I’ve heard tossed around about the reasoning behind this.

Ok. Couple more questions. You are the only owner or did you buy it used? Did the round that failed to feed leave the mag completely? Or was it half in/half out of the mag? If it was contained wholly in the mag did it look like the top round in the mag was nose diving? Or was it nose up? Or did it look perfectly normal? If half in/half out, did the round get caught in the breech or did the slide chew up the round at all?

Jason, Is this FTF a Failure To Feed or a Failure To Fire? Is this a stock gun or do you have some custom work going on? Are your magazine all roughly the same age and round count? Are your mags OEM or aftermarket? What steps do you need to do to clear the malfunction - Is it a simple immediate action (tap, roll/rack) or do you have to resort to remedial action (lock the slide back, remove mag, run the slide, reload) to clear it?

Pretty sure it is for straight Newtons - it is labeled N and not Nm or N-m. They are measuring force, not torque.

Confirmation of the Glock 46 created for German Police trials. I started a new topic on it. Link below:

Looks like cops in Sachsen-Anhalt Germany will be turning in their issued Sig pistols for the new Glock 46 It’s reportedly a rotating barrel locking system that is G45 sized with a thumb safety, 8lb trigger, beaver tail, and mostly Gen 5 features - such as grip texture, front serrations, no finger bumps, integral magwell, etc... https://www.thefirearmblogDOTcom/blog/2019/02/01/saxon-police-adopt-glock-46/ German State Police Adopt NEW Glock 46 Posted 2 mins ago in Daily News, MIL/LE, Pistols by Matthew Moss with 124 Comments The Glock 46 (Ministry of the Interior Saxony-Anhalt) The German state of Saxony-Anhalt have announced the adoption of the Glock 46 as their next police sidearm. The new Glocks will replace Saxony-Anhalt police’s current SIG Sauer P6s. The SIG’ have been in service for nearly 30 years and nearly 6,500 new pistols will be needed to replace them. The contract represents the first time a Glock has been adopted as a standard issue side arm by a German police force. First adopted by in the late 1970s when various German state police forces adopted pistols including Walther’s P5, SIG-Sauer entered the P225 (which became the P6 when in service) and Heckler & Koch submitted their PSP or P7. After the reunification of Germany in 1990, Saxony-Anhalt state police adopted the P6, replacing their Soviet Makarov PMs. Saxony-Anhalt state police has around 6,400 officers who are armed so the contract is a significant one. The choice of the Austrian Glock over the German HK, popular with many other German police forces, comes as little surprise as when the Glock 46 first appeared back in 2017, it was described as being specially developed for German police trials. An earlier photo of the Glock 46 disassembled which first surfaced back in 2017. It shows the new barrel and striker assembly. Some additional changes have been made since. The Glock 46 was developed to meet a set of very specific German state/federal requirements, known as TR 2008 (Technische Richtlinie für Pistolen im Kaliber 9x19mm der Polizeien der Länder und des Bundes). Which required a trigger pull of more than 30N and and a trigger with between 10 and 15mm of travel. The new Glock 46 has a 35N or 7.9 lbf trigger pull and 11mm of travel. Externally, it look like Glock’s other Gen 5 pistols but the most interesting feature of the Glock 46 is that, unlike other Glocks, it uses a rotating barrel locking method rather than the standard Browning-style tilting barrel system. The German media stress this is rotating barrel offers better accuracy. It can also be disassembled without pulling the trigger, which was a police requirement, and has a more prominent beavertail frame. The Glock 46 is chambered in 9x19mm and has a 15 round magazine, front slide serrations and a new feature not seen on earlier photos, what appears to be a frame mounted decocker/safety. The new pistol was successfully tested at the German proof institute in Ulm and was certified in December 2018. Head of the Federal German Criminal Investigation Bureau (BDK), Peter Meißner, said: “We consider it a correct decision in terms of content, that the country has opted for the Glock.” While Wolfgang Ladebeck, of the German police union said: “That’s absolutely a sure-footed weapon, which we hope to never use.” The contract is reported to be worth 8.6 million Euros or $9.8 million, with the first 2,500 pistols to be delivered during 2019 with fully delivery of over 8,500 pistols expected to be completed by 2021. The Glock 46 is not currently commercially available in Europe and there are no plans for the Glock 46 to be released in the US at this time.

I had one. A micro-tech. I traded it to someone here for a nice Chris Reeves Sebenza folder. The OTF knives have a high CDI factor, but once open they don’t do anything better than a folding knife of equal quality. Personally, I like the wave feature on Emerson folding knives for fast and easy one handed opening - It’s almost as fast as a fixed blade.

Did you like the knife you lost? Did it do everything you wanted it to do? Did it have all of the attributes you were looking for? If so, why reinvent the wheel? Just get the same knife again. Don’t get bogged down in esoteric minutiae. If it worked fine before it will work fine in the future. Don’t let a little knowledge that there may be something out there with better steel, or a better opening or locking method, or whatever it is, dissuade you from buying and using what works for you. If it served you fine before, it will surely serve you equally as well in the future.

False.

May have been. My buddy and I found this rock formation that looked like a mini Half Dome that we think was unclimbed at the time. We went and put a few ice routes up it.

As an instructor and a student, the only rifles that I have seen shit the bed more often than Stag is Bushmaster. (That being said, I dont have an issue buying stripped Stag lowers for carbines I will assemble). From one LEO to another - Ditch the Stag and get the BCM. Its a better gun that will serve you longer without issues. Stags are hobby guns with a 5000-7000 round service life. I have BCM uppers with 2-3 times that and have seen more BCM rifles with round counts on the tens of thousands that just keep on chugging along. Don't aspire to mediocrity to save a couple bucks. Whatever you do, don’t throw good money trying to make an inferior product what you want it to be. It never will be - you are just polishing a turd. Buy quality, buy once, and be confident in your gear.

I had a 1998 Legacy GT wagon until 2008. Loved it. Used it when climbing for a living and put almost 100,000 miles on it in a year and a half driving back and forth from NJ to WV in the summer and NJ to NH in the winters. Zero problems and handled NH snow and ice (even some logging roads up near Berlin in the snow) with no problem. My wife now has a 2012 Outback. We are very pleased with it. Great car.

Lol! It’s funny, because it’s true!

Which one of you mouth-breathing Neanderthals corrupted my son? I opened my refrigerator earlier to find this abomination: Little bastard knows how to push my buttons!

They are mountains. Just very, very old mountains. Plus NJ has the highest point on the Eastern Seaboard headlands south of Maine: ”The seaward front of the Navesink Highlands constitute the highest headlands along the United States east coast south of Maine, with the highest point of the headlands reaching an elevation of 266 feet (81 meters) at Mount Mitchill.”
