Re: Weapon Storage at work



Personally i would carry and leave my weapon locked in my car and not tell anyone. The chances of anyone finding out is very slim. You just don't know when you might need it on the way to work or on your way home.

It used to be that DOW chemical did random checks (since people actually drive ...

Re: Parkland survivor David Hogg-trolling

1. That part about "Right of the People" goes right over his head.
2. I wonder if he even knows that he is part of the militia, according to 10 USC 246.

Re: Haiti - probably don’t want to visit

In the 1980's I had a warrant officer who was from Haiti. The Army had a mission there, and he was approached for the assignment. He said something like, "I worked very hard to get out of there. I do not wish to go back."

Did you use a micrometer or calipers?
When did you last calibrate your micrometer or calipers?

Re: Colt 1911, max range 82 feet

82 feet is really close to 25 meters. Still, about half of the 50 meters I recall as the maximum effective range I was taught for M1911/M1911A1.
The article smells like AI.

Re: 38 special wadcutters?

Factory .38 Special 148-grain wadcutter loads tend to be very good target loads. They are normally loaded to low velocity
("mid-range"), often around 700 feet per second.
It's mild in recoil and report, it tends to be accurate, and it makes clean, easy-to-score holes in targets. It's also easy to ...

Re: What Did You Do In The Reloading Room This Week?

I recently put together a case annealing machine for rifle brass (Bean Machine v3), and put a coule of hundred cases through it over the weekend.
It works nicely for '06 and .308. It's not yet perfect with .223. It still requires a little tinkering on one of the parts I made. Even with that, it ...

Re: Nickel vs Brass Casing for Carry Ammo and Reloading

For carry rounds, I'm more concerned about the feeding reliability and performance of the bullet than I am about the case finish. I've never had a feeding or extraction problem that I would attribute to a case being plated or unplated. I don't seek out nickel cases, but won't reject them either.

Re: Grab a gun SCCY DVG-1 9mm $145.99 after rebate 10+1 two mags

The DVG series is a little smaller in the grip, front-to-back, in part due to being striker fired vs the hammer fired CPX's.
I've put a few boxes through a CPX with no hiccups. Worst issue for me: My trigger finger gets beat up by the trigger guard in firing. It's noticeable after a couple of ...
