After 2 year wait
That's a great gift, Sandy. She's going to be so proud to be able to go to the range with Mom and take her own rifle. You know she's going to want to shoot it as soon as she gets it, right? Are you going to show her the right way to take care of a new gun and give it a clean first? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Newish Microwave Went Up In Flames
I use my Amex blue card for any purchase like this. Amex provide double or an extra 12 months on the manufacturer warrenty, whichever is the shorter. I have had a computer monitor and a camera go bad just after the original warrenty ran out and Amex refunded the purchase price immediately. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

What sights are you using for comp?
I would suggest that you don't make the fiber wider than the metal of the front post. For longer, precision shots you should be using the edges of the front sight as if there was no fiber at all, just like traditional black on black sights. The fiber is for finding the front sight quickly and for up to 10 yards on a regular target you can almost ignore the rear sight. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

What sights are you using for comp?
I use a .105 FO front with a .135 plain black rear from Dawson on my G35. (I have a .100 on my XD-45 tac) My eyes are still pretty good with corrective lenses so I can see it fine. The narrow front sight makes long shots easier as it does not obscure the target like a big dot does. The fairly wide rear makes finding the front sight easy without being too wide so it becomes hard to center. Bear in mind that you won't just be shooting at 18" wide cardboard targets, you'll come across pepper poppers at up to 20-25 yards and they are only 8" at their widest.

IDPA introduction session
Thanks to everyone who came yesterday. It was a good session, lots of fun. I hope you feel confident enough to try a match soon. It was really nice to put some faces to names. You didn't see a post because the class got filled just through PMs to people who said they wanted in on the next one. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Help me decide between the shield or a 357 revolver
You have to make the decision based on your priorities. My choice would be to add a centerfire revolver before more semi-autos but that's because I play IDPA and I don't have an IDPA legal wheel gun yet.

Ruger mkii problem
The breech face was the first thing I thought of when you said light strikes combined with extraction issues. Clean it up and try it again. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Are you showing off that you have a belt fed? (feeling the envy already) ...or that you have a minivan (not feeling quite so much envy) Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

At the match? Sure. Everybody must have eye and hearing protection. For drinking a yard? I don't know where to find one this side of the Atlantic. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

There are two key tricks to drinking a yard of ale: 1. Rotate the glass as you drink otherwise it all tries to come out at once. 2. Do not stand under a ceiling fan (yes, I have seen this done) Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I not sure what a flaggard is but the flaggon we used last weekend was clearly labeled SOMERSET CIDER. It just wouldn't be right to take it to PA. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Not mandatory, but it helps Ken get Practiscore set up ahead of time. There is no penalty for signing up and not showing. It is easier to delete quickly in practiscore than to add. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Another Victim of Senseless NJ Laws
Having read the AG's clarifying memo, I'm wondering if it, in itself is constitutional as it does not provide equal protection to NJ residents vs. non-residents. This is all too stupid for me to understand.

Excellent news! It is shameful that it took so much effort to make this idiot prosecutor see the error in this persecution. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
