that did it. I didn't even know you could that for just this site. Thank you!


Glad that helped! On a related note, I have a related issue where I am having to regularly log back into the site. Not a biggie as I have a password manager and just takes a few clicks. But wondering if anyone else ...

Re: Suppressor provision in Big Beautiful Bill


The final version does not remove suppressors (or anything else) from the NFA. The Senat bill included that, but it was stripped out by the parliamentarian. The tax stamp fee is gone (it's now zero dollars) but the NFA registration requirements remain.

Having login issues. Every time I try to log in, I type my username and password very carefully, and every time it says "not valid". Then I type everything a second time very carefully, exactly the same, and it logs me in.

I have accepted cookies. This is getting very irritating.

Re: Updated Forum version


That link is for "Active Topics".... the activity here has been very low, so the list of active topics is pretty short.
On the upper left of every(?) page is the "hamburger menu" (three lines stacked up like a burger between two buns)... it says "quick links" next to it... Maybe one of those ...

No personal experience with these but I've heard good things from the guys at American Fighting Revolver (good guys to follow if you are a revolver fan).

Re: Love My Glock 20 Gen5!

Oh regarding holsters. I consider Glock's "work" guns and generally wear them in kydex. I have a paddle holster from Comp-Tac and a OWB holster from Raven Concealment that is no longer made.

Re: Love My Glock 20 Gen5!

I don't own a 20 but do own a 21 and have a 10mm conversion barrel for it. It's definitely a big gun and noticeably more snappier than a 9mm but nothing punishing IMO. If you feel the grip is to big, you can get it slimmed down to Glock 17 circumference. I had mine done by a guy and also had him ...

Re: Updated Forum version


Before the update the "Active Topics" seemed to be the default page to load. Is there a User-level setting that needs to be changed to have Active Topics show up when visiting the Forum? Or, is that perhaps a back-side Admin setting that directs / redirects which page initially loads by default ...

Re: FN Reflex SAO with no Manual Safety


I love the FN Reflex. Great gun.

I am looking for others' opinions on carrying a single action only, hammer-fired, with no manual safety. FN specs says it has a 5lb trigger. Mine ranges 4.25 - 5.25lbs. To me, any SAO hammer fired should have a manual safety. Is my brain stuck in 1911 thinking ...
