High Exposure

Ha! That made me laugh!! Good one Silverado!

Let me preface by saying that I have zero knowledge of the planning for this event. I can tell you from my experience, that putting this kind of operation together we don’t always have as much flexibility as we would like. A lot of times, for narco warrants, it is a heat of the moment event as you run up a chain of bigger fish. From dealer, to local supplier, to area boss, to whatever is next. Sometimes, a judge will determine when the warrant can be executed, based on likelihood of vehicular and foot traffic in the area, school getting in or out, likelihood of kids being at the location, etc... Most commonly, you will get a Search Warrant and not an Arrest Warrant. This give you authority to search a specific location for specific items, but not the authority to arrest anyone unless you find people where the drugs are. So to make an arrest, you need the drugs and the people in the location together. The Police have absolutely zero influence in that and you work solely on “Dealer Time”. Dealers like to play fuck-fuck games with each other and are constantly late or early or changing location and lying to each other. That makes a lot of these jobs “on the fly and in the moment”. Yeah, may want to hit the location at 0500hrs, but if the house is empty, or the drugs haven’t gotten there yet, you have just wasted a lot of time, effort, and money for nothing - not to mention you just tipped your hand that you are on to them with nothing to show for it. So you wait until the time is right. There is a rediculous amount of operational planning for these jobs in an effort to reduce the chances of something like this happening. Unfortunately, you can never eliminate it. I thank God that there are men and women doing this work in the face of these kinds of odds. I hope the officers recover fully and continue to hunt the scumbags that are destroying lives in our cities and towns.

What the fuck is Taylor Ham?

Got a little peckish so I fixed up a little Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese on a fresh Kaiser roll. Figured I’d share.... So good when it hits the lips!

The Beretta M9A3 is also under 50oz, has a mag that fits in the grip, and it doesn’t have a barrel shroud. So the threaded barrel is acceptable.

Early twenties and known as Flaco? 5 guys try to break in and he was ready with appropriate firepower, like he was guarding something? The family members of the deceased knew to arrive at that house? Yup, maybe it’s just cynacism, but yeah - raises a few flags. I hope I’m wrong. I hope that Flaco is just a regular good-guy homeowner that is well switched on, well armed, and well trained with the forethought to always be within arms reach of a long gun. That would be a great PR win for all of us. But if I am being honest, I have my doubts about the motivation behind the whole thing.

The homeowner reportedly used an AK pattern rifle. ”Officials told KTRK that the homeowner shot the men in self-defense using a fully-loaded AK-47, an assault rifle.” https://www.theepochtimes(DOT)com/texas-homeowner-shoots-5-men-during-home-invasion-police_2773876.html Also of note, bad guys also reportedly had rifles and investigators described several dozen shell casings in the ground outside.

I remember going to a Drive-In theater in North Hoosick NY quite few times in the late 90s with an old girlfriend that went to college in Bennington, VT. It’s funny, I don't remember a single movie we saw..... but goddamn, those were good times.

Whoops! I predict someone’s head at Fox is going to roll.... https://variety(DOT)com/2019/politics/news/ruth-bader-ginsburg-fox-news-dead-graphic-1203113366/

Yes Ray. I know. I am looking for the 5.56/.223 version that takes AR mags though. Both the CZ and the Ruger Ranch check all the boxes for what i am looking for. The Mossberg MVP also checked the boxes by that rifle sucks by all accounts.

That’s what I want to know. I have a gut feeling that the CZ is just gone be a smoother, more refined example of what I am looking for. The ability to use AR mags is a huge consideration though.

Buddy is a cop in St Augustine sent the photo to me. Not sure if he saw them live and took the photo or if he saw it somewhere else. I think they were 3D printed/custom made.

Ah OK. I’m looking for the Gibbz because it will work with the Ares/Fightlight SCR. I’m looking for a “fighting” bolt gun. Light, handy, fast, and mag fed. The fact that I can buy 2 Rugers, for one CZ, is also quite appealing.

I’m still debating this rifle. But the Ruger American Ranch in .223 takes AR mags now and is calling me. The “A” answer is to get both, but, which one first..... Is it a Gibbz upper? PM me if you are gonna get rid of it.

Awesome new iron sights.

That was awesome. Thanks for posting it!!

I see a benefit as well over the G19 - In my opinion, the Glock factory 10 rounds mags are not reliable enough for serious use. This provides a gun designed from the ground up to work with 10 rounders. While the lack of front serrations isn’t a deal breaker, I do greatly prefer them. I wish all of my Glocks had them. I like how they give me more control when manipulating the slide for things like press checks and working through some malfunction techniques. I think they are mandatory for any pistol with a RDS milled into the slide. I was very pleased with the G45 for this reason, as I was looking at a G19X but wanted front serrations. And no, you shouldn’t cover the ejection port or put your hand in front of the muzzle with front serrations. If you find yourself doing either, you are doing it wrong.

I was referring to holsters for the gun/light combo. That’s alaways the hardest part for new guns with unique methods to attach WMLs.

I think it is going to sell very well. I didn’t like the G43. I thought my Kahr shot better. But this? This has my interest - at least when it comes in something other than silver. It fills what I thought was an overlooked vacancy in the sizes of the Glock lineup. As for the rail - I like lights on carry guns, but the frame is a little too thin I think for the usual suspects - TLR-1, APC, X300U,XC-1. Streamlight or Crimson Trace will come out with a trigger guard mounted light or laser or combo - something like the Streamlight TLR-6 - that will solve the problem. Then it’s just a matter of holsters.

That’s not a double barrel AR. It just has 2 PCC mags clamped together.
