Gun Thread: Super Bowling Edition!
Did you choose neither regarding the teams above? Weasel is in the neither camp and has been for many years. I'm sure there are some standup guys in the NFL, but there sure do seem to be a lot of what could charitably be described as overpaid prima-donnas who aren't exactly good role models. That, and with the league's firm embrace of woke bullshit and you have a product I'm surprised anyone is interested in. And what the heck happened to guys like Dick Butkus, Larry Czonka, Bart Starr and John Unitas? I believe the game went to shit about the time the goal posts were moved to the back of the end zone. What do you think? Football fan or not? Anyhoo, it's a moot point, because this smart kitty already predicts the winner!
Range Time! Our pal Catch Thirty-Thr33 heads to the range after battling TSA!
This is the damage done with the M9
Back on February 1 I stopped by my beloved Top Gun Range in Houston to get in some badly needed range time. This was my first shooting since the TX MoMe, so it was long overdue. What I had with me was the M9, the Sig P226 Tacops, and the M18. To open this, I should point out the transport of my trio of guns. I checked in my firearms and was told my locks were not TSA compliant. This I countered with the fact that they absolutely were, as they were issued to me by the military to transport an M4 rifle to the Middle East a decade ago. That ended that. Then I went through security, and my bag was flagged because apparently TSA never has seen a nebulizer before (this airport always gives my carry-on extra inspection because of the nebulizer; no others have thus far). In the midst of this, TSA paged me because they wanted to open my case for closer inspection. So I turned in the keys to TSA and they inspected the Pelican case further. They found no issues so they gave me the keys back and on I went. Moral of the story: you never know what will happen once you drop off your guns for transport, and different airports do different things.
This is after 80 more rounds with the Sig P226 Tacops
Finally, after 102 rounds through the M18, here is how the target looked. The first 17 rounds were disappointing. But I settled down and made the next 85 count
In Houston I bought 300 rounds; I took 7 with me in a TSA approved case so that I could fire 105 through the M9, and 102 through the M18. The Sig P226 Tacops having a 20 round magazine, that math was simple. One hundred rounds would go through it. After the setup, time for the games to begin. As usual, two to the chest, one to the head. I changed things each time I completed the three rounds, though. First, one eye open, two hands on the gun. Next, both eyes open, both hands on the gun. (It may sound strange, but with both eyes open, aiming the gun, I see two guns, not one. This is why I shut one eye typically. But I do this because I have no expectation that any bad guy I run across will permit me to get into the most advantageous position for the sake of honor.) Next, one handed, both eyes open. Then one handed, one eye open. And , because I may not be in the best position when called upon to use a handgun, I switch to the left hand. Depending on how many rounds I have, I decide if I use both eyes or one eye. But I put myself through both configurations at least once. I also fired only at 3 yards (or meters?) and 7 yards (meters?) as these are most likely the ranges I would expect to be when shooting for real. Sure, the 15 yard mark might be good to try out, but I only had 307 rounds for this outing. In the case of the M18, I was so disappointed in my first 17 round outing with it, I kept the target at the 3 yard position to make sure I had it nailed down. My shooting improved but that first outing told me to focus on the short range instead before taking it out further. It was a good day at the range and eventually I want to get to the point where I am hitting the range at least once a month to maintain proficiency. But for now, this will do.
RI Red and His Range Laboratory Guess who has been back to the range with his scientist hat on? Go ahead, guess! Why, it's none other than our pal RI Red! Below we have another of his exhaustive reports and photographic evidence of the range trip result.
This time I did my Eley Match v. Wolf v. SK Rifle Match. For the first time ever, my Ruger Precision Rimfire outshot my Christiansen Ranger.I suppose the test target is worth a thousand words, which is exactly my philosophy on shooting. Let the results speak for themselves.
5 shot groups, the Ruger with SK did a ragged hole .233!
Optics on Handguns Part Dos
Last week I included a video linked here on the subject of optics on handguns, and a lively discussion ensued. This week I am following up on the topic with a discussion of typical engagement distances. The 2nd video addresses the question but the whole thing makes much more sense if you watch the first video, well, first. Get to watchin'! Do you need a red dot?
Seeing What You're Shooting At
I'm told old people's eyeballs dry out which potentially raises issues with seeing what they're shooting at. Although I personally unaffected by this condition, I guess I can understand why it would be a problemo. Here is a super relax-o calm guy talking about the issue and offering solutions. No mention of wearing glasses?

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Meantime, there I was starting out with lousy groups and too many few fliers, until I got reminders of the fundamentals of a trigger squeeze through my idiot head, and then things tightened up quite nicely.
Meanwhile, Mrs Splunge says that her Glock 43 is banging into a particularly protruding bone at the inside base of her thumb. She seems to be holding it well, and the back of the Glock is nice and rounded and smooth, so some sort of anatomy conflict? Anyone have any ideas about that?

I spent almost all of this past week at the farm and the weather cooperated nicely, so I was able to get in a significant amount of range time. Practiced on the fundamentals and also tried my hand at point shooting, with mixed results. I kept subconsciously trying to acquire my sights instead of pointing at the target. When I forced myself not to try to pick up a sight picture, I did much better. And the 1911 justified its reputation of having a natural point of aim.

- 30 round curved magazine (circa 1970)
- Ribbed hemispherical handguards (circa 1966 w/ XM177 series carbines)
- Brass deflector next to ejection port (circa 1984 from the M16A2)
- Fencing around the magazine release button and forward bolt assist (circa 1968 from the M16A1)

Well, turns out I need about a .35 inch riser. Gah. They don't make smaller risers. So failed experiment. BUT - turns out I could adjust it up a little more, and it works! But now the detent pin that holds it in place fell out because it won't hold at that height. If it's not one thing its another.
But I am going to superglue it. A little hacky, yes. But did I mention it looks cool?

Went with son#1 to our regular indoor range, met up with Mark Andrew Edwards and LazyMessenger. He was shooting his M&P Shield in .40 and I took out the G19 as I hadn't shot it in more than a couple years.
Son has improved a TON since he first started shooting. He practices dry firing at home with his red dot so he can see if he flinched. Then he shoots at the range without it.
Well. I can honestly say I do not like the G19. I don't like the feel or the trigger or the accuracy. It's a big yucky brick and I can't stand it. So much for Glocks. I still like the teeny G42, but I'll never buy another Glock. I much prefer my 1911s or the Walther PPQ.

This week was SubGun week, all 9mm. The MKA 760 shined and ran like a scalded dog...hot and fast, no hiccups. The CMMG Banshee was king of the hill, just a no brainer with the Primary Arms GLx2x. Hits and just keeps hitting, even on mag dumps with the F/A AR lower. The CMMG 9mm magazines for AR type mags works very well. The Sten Gun was chugging up from the rear but I love that little ugly mofo. Zero is on at 25 yards and she is so simple you can't keep her from running if you tried. Shot about 500 rounds doing run n gun and will re-visit in a week or 2 to recheck zeros and dump another 500.

Sharon, are you interested in the modified Glock B&T unveiled at the 2024 SHOT Show? It's a Glock 19 with an Aimpoint Accro integral to the slide, a super compact wipe suppressor, and a slide lock mechanism to allow for maximum noise suppression (no movement of the slide while shooting) when using subsonic ammo. Unfortunately, it'll come with a B&T price tag. Forgotten Weapons has a short 90 second video about it.

The Colt Forum message board had a thread which described how you could submit a FOIA request on your pistol's serial number. The FOIA request will get you the full history about what unit your pistol was assigned to from about 1975 until it went to CMP for final disposition. I think it's worth checking out.

Now? Not watching the game. The last I saw was Super Bowl LIV. Don't know what's going on in the NFL, don't care. But you see, I used the NFL to get AWAY from politics and other more serious business crowding my mind. It was an escape. When it stopped being that it lost its value. I'd love to follow the game again; I still love football and have taken to watching old NFL Films shows on YT. But...
And the Washington Commanders should change their name to the Washington Red Guards.

TRex,
Quick and dirty guide to the basic SIG models:
320: Full sized polymer frame (includes M17 and M1
365: Small sized polymer frame
226: Full sized steel frame. Includes USN Mark 25.
229: Compact steel frame. Includes M11A1.
Everything else adds additional features, bells, and whistles. I believe the Legion pistols are SIG's "Cadillac" guns with just about everything you can imagine on them.

Or simply ask your friendly gun store staff if they have what you're looking for.

Damn thing came up on the grands in the yard like she was going to go over the fence and attack. Would have been it's last mistake. Had it in my sights halfway across the street and it stopped after hitting the fence, barked a bunch until I went after it with my foot while maintaining a bead.
Owner came out, it went home and I read him the riot act. Threatened to call the pound/cops if I saw it loose again. Dude is out of jail on bail right now so he want's nothing to do with the the sheriff department. I'm hoping he goes away for a long time. Harboring a fugitive.

The 320s are confusing to me because the fire control mechanism is the firearm, not the frame it resides in. If you don't like the frame you got, you can order another, remove your fire control mechanism from the one frame and put it right into the other without any tools (supposedly).

As Catch said not really TSA in the mix - most of this is handled by the airlines. Flying out of IAD on United, they had a checklist that a supervisor had to observe and countersign. On Southwest, well, they did not seem to have an actual procedure so much.

Just the regular NFA tax stamp, paperwork/background check and waiting up to a year for approval and your good to go. The tax stamp is $200.00 and once paid no need to renew or anything, it's good until you sell the NFA item.
Once a machine gun, always a machine gun is how the federales treat such things once it is registered as a full auto.

Legacy of the M1911's time in service, I think. It's OK for guys like the SEALS and Delta to use SA/DA pistols without positive applied safeties like the 1911, but not Private Snuffy or Lieutenant Fuzz. Can't trust them with a loaded weapon that doesn't have a positive applied safety on it.

Tired of standing in the booth? Feeling trapped, confined? Curious as to what downrange really feels like? It’s time to get moving. Join us for a special 2-hour session dedicated to the very thing people crave: competition. This introduction will focus on what to bring, what to expect and what to do. Etiquette, safety, gear requirements and gear placement along with tips and tricks from the very people that design the courses you run will be stressed in a relaxed setting. The session will end with a short course of fire, run exactly as it would during our Wednesday night steel shoots.
Requirements include 50 rds of non-frangible ammo and an OWB holster. BUT IT SOLD OUT WITHIN 24 hours of the announcement. Dang it.

A friend of mine has one or one that is just like it. A Beretta clone IIRC. It's his only firearm, bought for home defense only. He likes it but it's mostly just okay to me. Quality control seems spotty, which holds up in my experience with Taurus (revolvers great, semi autos hit or miss).
If it's a good price go for it, but if it's more than a couple of hundred dollars I'd put that money towards something else unless you shoot it and just absolutely love it.

A "Beg to Buy".
I'm scouring the markets for parts from an Interarms MkX Mauser ('9
receiver. Could also be a Parker-Hale, (same, from Zastava factory).
Bottom metal. (trigger guard, magazine, hinged floorplate, magazine follower & spring). Highly polished, black/blue. The later variants as found on Charles Daly or the Remington 798, NOT wanted. The former has the floorplate release in the lower-front of the trigger guard bow (same as Remington 700). The latter have a "cross-bolt" floorplate release in the upper front bow of the trigger guard, necessitating an ugly "half moon" be laterally hogged out of the stock. UGLY!
And, a full COMMERCIAL Bolt-Release/Ejector assembly for the Mauser '98. No "mil-surp" stuff with associated proof marks.
I'll $pend Money for these goodies, so any tips or leads, appreciated! I think I've worn out the 'net, looking for them, but your search-fu might dwarf mine, so, I'm asking!
Oh, and those B-27 targets up top? They're not walking away from anything, after all that. More holes is GOOD holes!

Insty today had an interesting link: https://cutt.ly/awC8XNa3
Yes, there's a gun in the story. But it sparked a discussion on the Insty page about sword canes. Most of which, unfortunately, violate the first rule about canes.
But that led to a discussion of whether they were legal in any states. Evidently they are in some states, some with a CCL, some without.

Problems accruing to sword canes involve length (most states forbid concealed blades longer than 2 to 3 inches) and concealment.

The last Super Bowl I saw, I think Beyonce was the performer at halftime. I made a point of, as soon as halftime began, to head for a nearby Subway, ordered a sandwich, got everything I needed, went to a close by gas station to get a quart of beer, and then headed home. I got back just in time for that stupid show to end. I was proud of myself for missing the whole thing.

I was a little disappointed by the cane video - I was expecting more in the vein of using it for self-defense. It puts me in mind of the incident (probably 20 years ago now) where a young thug tried to rob an elderly gentleman in a parking lot. Turns out the old fellow was an Alamo Scout in WWII and whipped the thug's ass thoroughly with his walking stick.

That really didn't used to be as much of a thing. I seem to recall a stage where it was "don't put your finger on the trigger", which seemed to (at least sometimes) mean it was okay to be within the trigger guard, as long as you had it forward.
Speaking of which, Lana Del Ray evidently did an Instagram post holding a pistol. Most people freaked out about there being a pistol in her hand. Gunners actually noticed she might have had her finger in the trigger guard/on the trigger. Men said "What gun?" - at least at first.

$300 sounds like a fair price now that I remember it's 2024.
You're also talking to someone who has regretted not buying a number of things AND who has gotten beaten for worse than $300 before, so if you've got any interest in it yeah, it's probably worth a shot. Don't be surprised if it needs a bit of tuning at some point, but if you like it go for it.

The S&B 230gr JHP continues to be problematic. I suspect there are some excessively hard primers here. Only two of my .45 pistols will consistently fire the damn things, my Ruger SR1911 and my Glock 21. In fact, my CZ 97 had the damn loaded chamber indicator fly off. This is the second CZ 97 that has had this particular failure. So I can't endorse this ammo.
On the good side, the Augila 40gr copper plated solids are very reliable. I can endorse this round.
And other good news, my PSA Dagger is still performing well, very well even. I did have to have the front sight replaced, might be my draw stroke is dragging the front sight. It's metal and I'm not amused by the failure but...the gun itself has been reliable mechanically: it just keeps shooting.

I have a PT 92. If the P99 has a solid rear sight, milled into the frame, then buy that bad boy. It will run forever. If it has a dovetailed rear sight, it may fall out of alignment. With older Taurus, it's going to be a gamble.

Personally, I prefer the Benelli M4 Law Enforcement and Military Model (w/ the collapsing stock) for its proven combat record (USMC resistant), gas operation (less felt recoil), and reliability. But the Mossberg 930 is probably "good enough" and less than half of the price of a Benelli M4 LE/Military Model new. I do think that the fixed stock might be a problem if your arms are short for the length of pull on that shotgun. That's a big plus for the Benelli's collapsing stock.

Fort McCoy, December 1990. Classroom for a training session on how to field strip and reassemble the 1911 pistol. Had to duck more than once because of the recoil springs and plugs flying around from the medical officers assigned to the reserve MASH unit that were in that class. The only medical officer who didn't have problems taking his pistol apart and putting it back together again was an O-6 doctor who had fought in Western Europe as a machine gunner in WWII.

We bought a CA compliant one a few years back, multiple trips to the gunsmith and accessories later we made a 650 dollar gun a 1300 one.
You can customize the unholy hell out of them, she has decided in her infinite wisdom she wants an original traditional stock one with tru glo sights, a new trigger, a new charging handle, and a mag release upgrade.....
If we are going with "matching pistol and carbine" I may get her a Glock 17 or 34 to go with it and put the Meprolight Bullseye FT rear sight on the glock....
or we will just get another security 9.

Did I hear right that the referees finally got on the ball and are getting the game moving in the correct direction?

I have weird dreams too, NR. I had one recently where a robot made English muffins [for me?] for breakfast and it had a slab of peanut butter the size of a hamburger patty on it!

Then you need to get the new Hush Puppy Glock from B&T! Check out the short 90 second video from Forgotten Weapons about it from the 2024 SHOT Show. You can deal with those feral cats and not disturb your peaceful surrounds at the same time. It's called a "Hush Puppy," but I'm sure it'll work on cats too.

Army also required that the new pistol be "modular." I believe this was to get around Congress meddling every time a new weapon is needed. Now, if a need arises for a 20 shot, 4" barrel, in .357 SIG model, the Army has that covered with just a couple of buckets of spare parts.

I was fast-forwarding through my recording of the game and it was boring. Glad it's not just me.
Commercials sucked too.

Oooh, that looks very interesting. I'm not up on my suppressors and hadn't known about the polymer wipes (I'll have to look that up), but immobilizing the slide is pretty great, too.
(Fortunately where I live I don't have to worry much about noise)

Other people will have better info on this, but it's my understanding that was part of how the Viet Cong killed or tortured people. Cut, tie someone down, wait a day.

Comes from the experience w/ the Beretta M9. The M9 was supposed to replace the wide variety of .38 revolvers in use by the likes of the USAF, USN, aviators of all stripes, and investigators (CID, NCIS, OSI, etc.). But the M9 didn't do CCW very well. CID and NCIS then got the M11 through as a concealable alternative to the M9. Then the SEALS started playing w/ hot ammo and found the M9 wanting. They ended up w/ the Mark 25. SOCOM stuck w/ .45 ACP and got their own pistols, the Mark 23 and Mark 24. The USMC didn't want the M9, so they kept the M1911 in the form of the M45 and M45A1 for Force Recon and the USMC Raiders. As a universal pistol, the M9 utterly failed. The Army hopes that the M17 will do what the M9 couldn't.

My advice, FWIW, think very very carefully about planting bamboo.
Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar (hOUT3) ~ This year in Corsicana - again!or I better be getting some bamboo.
Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher
Already have some clumps.
I could divide some or do the easy thing and just buy some more.
But, yeah, they can get out of control.

Only been out with it once and she did OK. Need to get her out again until she gets comfortable. It's their EZ Rack so she did good with that part.
Anyone with weak grips should really consider that Ruger or the S&W.

I think you have the solution, I mixed a double strength weed killer compound, poured it into the cut stalks, and that alone still did not do the job!

Mrs. Sock was struggling to rack her G19 because of a wrist injury last winter. I put a Recover Tactical slide assist on her gun. Problem solved.
