Union County has seen a pretty decent uptick in "break-ins"...but they're not really break-ins they're people who leave their cars, doors, or windows unlocked. In the 2 years I've been here only one forceable entry by some guys with guns and shot the homeowner in the leg on the way out for his hospitality.

The Sprinco : http://www.waltherforums.com/forum/ppq/22002-dpm-recoil-management-vs-sprinco-recoil-management.html I love the PPQ...it's my first 9mm I've spent substantial time on and like I said, switching to 147gr rounds has me consistently hitting 3x5 cards @ 10yrds in a Bill Drill type of practice. 124gr is a little snappier and I need to concentrate a little harder on follow-up shots. I think I'll spend the 80 bucks on ammo and call it a day unless anybody has any rave reviews about it

Ha, nevermind...I posted here prematurely. I finished reading the thread on Walther forum and the things perform poorly. I had already found i shoot much better with 147gr ammo so I'll use that for competition and keep practicing with 124gr until I get better

Oh sorry, i'm shooting a Walther PPQ which I think puts me in SSP with the Glocks

Thinking about getting a recoil reducer (guide rod/spring assembly) from Sprinco for my competition gun. What are the impacts of how I can classify/shoot if I do this in IDPA/USPSA? I dont' think it matters in IDPA but I thought if you do anything internal for USPSA you get bumped into the custom division and compete against ppl with $5000 guns.

i'm taking a shotgun class with GFH this weekend...seems like a similar concept. Did you find those belt loaders really helpful? I have a speedfeed stock and a dump pouch I was gonna use

so are we saying that the "jury of our peers" is really a "jury of people easily distracted by shiny things picked to make lawyers look good"?

for you Gears of War fans

where's the damn +1 button?! I've been laughing at this on & off for 5 minutes

Thanks for the recommendations folks. I liked the look of the Larue clips and found them (or maybe knockoffs) on eBay for pretty cheap so I'll try those out first. Will post pics once I get everything assembled (still waiting on my upper from Stag)

Worth waiting for the new enhanced ones that supposedly have more texture to them?

I'm getting a Stag upper with Samson star-C free-float rail but the only thing I'm mounting on it (for now!) is a Magpul RVG. I'd like to cover up the rest of the rail with something that's a little grippy, not too bulky, and won't break if I need to take it off. I don't mind cutting to fit around accessories. I know Magpul and a few other folks make those small panels. The rest of the market seems to be either ladder style super low profile stuff or somewhat bulkier panels that completely hide the underlying "teeth" of the rail. Brands that have caught my eye thus far are: Surefire Mako Blackhawk Magpul But without being able to touch the damn things it's impossible to know what I'd like so I'm trying to poll our local AR community and see what ppl like. I'm 5'11" and have decently large hands, but again don't want something so bulky that my wife (5'2") couldn't hold the dang gun. Theoretically I'd prefer the type that fully protect the underlying rail just to have one less thing to worry about getting beat up. Anyway...opinions? Please include links to the manufacturer or retailer site where I could see whatever you're talking about. Pics of it on your AR would be even better and probably make this thread way more fun! ...or links

Y-E-S guarantee you if you sent the guy's kid to college for a year or two you could do whatever you want in that town. Or just be a lawyer on retainer for them for free... I'm not saying most LEOs, or any more than a few, are like this...but that doesn't make the behavior condoned.

My first shotgun...I believe this will be Ray Ray approved because he inspired the setup Mossberg 590 (#50668) KZ 3-Rail Shotgun Mount (http://www.botachtactical.com/kz3shra.html) Streamlight TLR-1s Blackhawk Tactical Sling Uncle Mikes QD Swivels

sorry to resurrect the thread, but a quick question I can't find a decent answer to from almighty google do I need a "fine" stone to finish sharpening? My purpose here is regular kitchen knives (not super expensive stuff) and working tools (pocket knives, axes, etc). From what I can tell coarse is great for the outdoor tools but I've also seen some stuff about "finishing" an edge with a fine stone. I was planning to just get a coarse and medium Lansky diamond stones (http://www2.knifecenter.com/item/LSLDB6M/Lansky-6-inch-x-2-inch-Diamond-Benchstone-Medium)...do I need a fine?

I wonder what the insurance company's line would be to get out of paying you damages for that one

1) Walther PPQ 9mm 2) 10/22 of your choice 3) AR-15 with possibility of .22 conversion kit...understanding it won't be the finest in the world but is cheaper to shoot/practice 4) Mossberg 590 or 590 A1 12 gauge bases = covered

I just got my first shotgun ever, Mossberg 590 Special Purpose (model # 50668), and just took it apart and there's what I'd call A LOT of oil in most of the moving parts. I know you're supposed to run AR's pretty well lubed but I wasn't sure about shotguns so I thought I'd ask. Is this just factory grease crap I need to clean out or should I apply lube liberally to this thing? Thanks Keith p.s. Yes I will post pictures once I put it back together and get my few accessories on there

which grip/bi-pod did you get? those things seem like there's little middle-of-the-road between heavy metal american made expensive awesomeness and chinese poorly refined petroleum product cheap crap

freakin figures the one time i'm not in the office...i coulda got some sweet pics! awesome shots man!

Second this. Make a video of what's in your safe and include catalog numbers and receipts if you can. That way your insurance company can't screw you (in theory...they always find a way though right?) by playing around with model numbers and such and you "should" be able to get full replacement cost at current market prices out of them. Where you have a possible loss is the shipping, nics, transfer, tax factor...that's where the receipts come in handy. Only real loss is the nostalgia/attachment you may have to any specific piece, but agree with other posters it's not worth your life.

got mine too and the stubbies look awesome (that's what she said?) thanks Maks! can't wait to try them out btw I had ordered some of the metal ones from A&A and they were at my door within 5 days...also stubbies and also awesome!

Devil's advocate...and I'm not sure this is the best analogy, but how is this not akin to an inside job by a bank employee? You're subverting the function you're supposed to provide, possibly getting paid for it, and putting innocent people at risk so others can break the law and "profit" from it (in this case profit is simply the enjoyment of driving awesome cars the way they were designed to be). I think we'd expect the bank employee to be fired and see prison time wouldn't we? Understand LEOs put their life on the line and maybe deserve a little slack...but I assume we'd be talking much more serious consequences if somebody HAD been injured during this little escapade. What if the bank employee's inside job failed, nobody got hurt, the robbers got away with no money...would we still expect the bank employee to be fired and put on trial?
