High Exposure

It’s the Black Knight out of his armor!

Joe is good people and his classes are an outstanding value. I try to take at least one of his classes every year. That being said, he will teach you gunfighting, not marksmanship (marksmanship is a component of course, but not the emphasis in his classes). If you are going to take a class, make sure you are taking a class that covers what you want to learn, Is appropriate for your skill level, and that the instructor is reputable. Not all courses or instructors are created equal. Vet everyone. ETA: I am not saying that a Sights and Trigger class would not be appropriate for you. A intro/basic class absolutely would be beneficial - there is nothing like professional training to increase your skill and ability quickly.

See the post above yours.

It’s clearly orchestrated by a cabal.

Why is that a Hmmmmm? It is an ongoing investigation. They shouldn’t give details yet.

TATP is a primary explosive and is pretty unstable. You don’t see many large bombs made of primarily TATP because of this. TATP is usually created and used in small amounts to start an explosive train where it will detonate secondary explosives like ANFO or other explosives that need a booster or primary explosive in order to function properly and not just deflagrate. Not to say it can’t happen, but it would be unusual in an already unusual situation.

Ah. Good question. I had a hard time finding a .40 brake. I do t remember what company it was, but there weren’t many choices. Looking back, I probably would have just gotten a 16” barrel with a crown.

I’m gonna disagree. I’ve been through quite a few classes on home made explosives and bomb making (Was just at one on 9/17) where we actually detonate different explosives in different areas of a car such as the trunk, or the engine compartment, the undercarriage, or the interior. I have notes that in big explosions - like 500lbs of ANFO, or 40lbs of C4 substitute - the engine block typically pushes the explosion horizontally to the rear and the engine and transmission go horizontally to the front. This almost makes me want to say the explosive was not in the car but under it. Again, that’s just a cursory observation based on a vague news report and crappy scene photos/videos.

I built a blowback PCC AR in .40 that takes Glock Mags. All I needed was Glock Mag specific lower and BCG, and a caliber specific barrel and buffer. Everything else is standard AR*. I got the lower, BCG and barrel from Quarter Circle 10, the buffer is from New Frontier Armory. I also used a JP Overpowered action spring (buffer spring). There is no gas system, so you don’t need a gasblock or gas tube. *The lower does come with a proprietary ejector and LRBHO installed, but uses standard AR trigger, safety, bolt catch, as well as standard takedown and pivot pins.

Looking at photos, one car was practically vaporized. Nearby cars are in relatively good shape compared to how bad the subject vehicle is in. This tells me that the explosion went more vertical, not horizontal. That is not exactly what you want to cause the most damage/carnage to pedestrians or nearby buildings. Also, that residential neighborhood doesn't look like a target rich environment for a planned terrorist event. Not a downtown area with shops and clubs and restaurants crowded with people on a Saturday night. Could be a mobile or car based meth lab that went boom accidentally. Could be a targeted event, some kind of gang hit or retaliation. Could be a premature detonation of an explosive that was to be used elsewhere in an attack. Could be a legit terror attack. Watching this with interest.

Not a whole lot out there on this, but I am eager to learn more, and cautious not to jump to conclusions.

The explosion happened around 9:30 p.m. on Turner Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets. Officials have not released details of what caused the explosion. Jon Harris, Kayla DwyerOf The Morning Call A car exploded on Turner Street in center city Allentown Saturday night, killing multiple people, Allentown police said. Assistant Chief Gail Struss said authorities do not know how many died. The fiery explosion happened around 9:30 p.m. on the block between Seventh and Eighth streets. Along with city police, investigators from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on the scene. Around midnight, a team of investigators worked around the burnt skeleton of the car. The explosion reverberated beyond the block. It shook The Morning Call building, which is about a block and a half from the scene. A man said he felt the jolt half a mile away on Fourth and Gordon streets. This video (which has been edited) shows the immediate aftermath of a car explosion on Turner Street on Saturday night Sept. 29, 2018. The original clip was widely circulated on social media. And on Facebook, people from other parts of the Allentown and even outside the city’s borders said they heard or felt the boom. Carlos Perodin, who lives at Sixth and Turner streets, was watching a movie with his wife when he heard the thunderous sound. He could see the blaze and went to the scene. “The fire was crazy,” he said. “The car was pretty much split in half.” Stephanie Connley of Allentown ran out of a corner store on Seventh Street to see what happened. She said she saw smoke and carnage around the car that had exploded. “Fire everywhere,” she said.

(Rich Rolen / Special to The Morning Call) The scene of the car explosion on Turner Street. (Rich Rolen / Special to The Morning Call) Struss said people should avoid the area. She said anyone who lives on Seventh and Eighth streets between Linden and Chew streets should shelter in place. She said police make that request in these cases because of the possibility of secondary explosions. Through the night, the scene was crowded with emergency crews and investigators including Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim, the Allentown Fire Department Bomb Squad and city paramedics. A UGI truck was on the scene, though a worker said it was a precautionary measure. After midnight, the block remained filled with emergency vehicles. Police have provided no details, as they try to determine what happened. Residents are curious to know, too. Many crowded around the police tape, talking to one another and speculating as bright siren lights and the barking of K-9 units filled the night air. Neighborhood kids idled on their bikes, talking to officers who controlled the scene and lowered the tape as emergency responders came and went. This story will be updated as more information comes to light. Police examine the scene of the car explosion Saturday night as bystanders look on. (Rich Rolen / Special to The Morning Call) Debris from the car explosion was strewn throughout the street. (Rich Rolen / Special to The Morning Call) Tweet I found elsewhere that shows video of a mangled Caucasian hand in the street and a pretty big debris field.

Yes Zeke, you finally found a gun you shoot well. Mazal Tov In all seriousness, it’s a nice gun. Trigger was very nice, frame fit my hand well, which is good because I reeeeaaaaallly didn’t want to drop it..... POI was a little low for me, and the balance was a bit top heavy - but I am used to Glocks, so that makes sense with the higher bore axis on the Sig. All in all, I liked it. If I was told it was my new duty gun, I wouldn’t be upset.

Hey man, you met me. You and I are both “Warrior Sized” as the man used to say.

I had one for a minute. My impression - meh, it’s a stock. Great if you want real lightweight setup. I just didn’t like the “hook” aspect of it. It kept getting hung up on my kit so I got rid of it.

When considering optics you can pick two qualities from the following choices: 1) Low price 2) Lightweight 3) Reliable Choose wisely.
