Re: CZ compact

I like them, too. We've got the standard CZ75 Compacts in 9MM and a couple P01 Omegas (aluminum frames with light rails and the Omega system trigger/hammer set up). Great pistols. Can't say much about OWB holsters. Don't use them at I carried my Compact and the black P01 IWB. If you want magazines, ...

Re: A Sad Truth Learned...

I pointed this out on a Ford Expedition forum a few days ago. Man, did one guy get pissed off. He accused me, and others, of being the kind of people who wanted felons to be able to buy guns and commit crimes with them. Long rant/rave with lots of name calling. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Re: Rock Island 1911 GI 38 Super

A couple drops of oil on the rails? I put 3 or 4 on each side of the frame rails. How dry is the rest of the pistol? Oil will not hurt your pistol. We don't live in the dusty southwest deserts were oil is supposed to be an issue collecting dust and gumming up a pistol. I bought a well used/abused Pr...

Re: Save printer ink grow your own targets.

Always was fun to go shooting at home. .22's - "hey, see that dandelion over there? The real tall one?" "See that bumble bee on the flower over there?" "See that little rock on the big rock?" Etc., etc. Centerfire rifles - "Hey, see that dead limb, over on the ridg...

Re: Ban Legislation Announced Less Than 24 Hours After Election

On arfcom there was a thread about this and they said the one the assault weapons ban bill that is left for consideration is even worse than Saslaws bill would have been.

No, I don't remember the bill number/ID.

Re: 1/20/20 Lobby Day

This ain't Oregon and the Lobby Day isn't be held in Portland, where the police are so hog tied that the crowds can blockade federal officers inside their buildings, burn cars and rampage through the city. Not yet anyway. Are the Richmond city government and police that far gone? Would they stand by...

Re: real deal about high velocity impact damage.

And the real deal is - high velocity bullets can do some funny things after impact on a target. Shoot enough ground hogs with 45 grain .223 bullets from 50 to 225 yds. (all but one head shots) and you'll see all kinds of weird stuff. Dead without a twitch. It lays there as you walk up on it and you ...

Re: real deal about high velocity impact damage.

1. An expert FBI marksman could not replicate the shots 2. those rifles are known to be so inaccurate that in one of the early Hornady manuals I own they state that it is a waste of time/money to attempt reloading accurate ammo for them, then they go ahead and give you reloading data in case you hav...

And there is a ...

Yes, cut off utilities. I'm sure all the dim/lib/prog/socialists voters who voted for a dim candidate for governor will quickly decide that was a "good idea" and be chomping at the bit to do it again next election. NOT!! It would be damned near impossible to cut electricity at the county l...

Re: Break-in Procedure for new Firearm

The next time I go to the range I'll have my latest AR15 build in .223 Remington. It has a new Ballistic Advantange stainless steel barrel on it. I'll shoot three rounds of the 55 grain FMJ Hornady reloads. Check the group. Check the brass for pressure signs (shouldn't be, but funny things happen). ...

Good luck sending a bunch of good old boys from VA to confiscate guns from good old boys in VA.
