Gun Thread: Super Bowling Edition!
A: Well, if you insist.
I used to like pro football games, back in the days before the NFL went all nutty over "player safety" and insisted on requiring face masks on helmets and moving the goal posts to the back of the end zone. Still, with the likes of John Unitas and Dick Butkis and Larry Czonka the game was mostly still watchable. Unfortunately, a bunch of sissy-boys took over so instead I simply watched the Super Bowl for the clever and funny commercials. Then the retards of the left took over, becoming the self-appointed arbiters of what was funny and clever and did what they typically do by taking the fun out of everything and made the whole thing an unwatchable and woke shit-show. It was then I stopped watching altogether. The EndHaving said that, our glorious leader President Donald J. Trump, today becomes the first sitting president to attend the game so suddenly I can tolerate football again. Another Trump miracle! Anyhoo, I figure at least some of you are interested, so feel free to discuss the game tonight in the comments. With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?
FUNdamentals Proper grip... yeah, blah, blah, blah... whatev... FINALLY someone is wearing the correct watch!!

No range time, went to IKEA with a friend instead.

TL;DR version: it's a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 Special, and that was my first EDC gun, which - liked Deckard - I kept in a cross draw holster because it was a serious piece of metal. Eventually sold it and used a Taurus 85 instead.

No range report this week and you will not get one next week either as I will be down in Texas for the weekend. Going there to see a concert but my friend is persuading me to bring along my two handguns. He knows of a range there ( I am sure in Texas there are many ranges within a stones throw) for us to put freedom seeds down range.
And if I am lucky and the range is like the one I visited in Houston a few years ago, I just might try out a full auto pew pew. :-D

The M11A1 is essentially the compact version of the P226. Fired in single action, it's surprisingly accurate with SIG's short reset trigger making rapid fire quite doable. It's not cheap ($1149 MSRP new). I bought mine used for $899. It does come with 15 round magazines and tritium sights as standard, though.
Posted by: Ed L at February 09, 2025 07:19 PM (AiJK3)
I will always wonder how far the Dolphins could have gone if they had Barry Sanders on the team during the Marino years.
To be able to switch between giving the ball to probably the best running back ever and Marino's passing would have been a joy to see.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
Seriously, though, even with the rather stiff breeze, I did manager to hit the 12, 10 and 8" plate. I thought I had the 6" but, alas, I missed. Along with the 4" and 2". Still, though, I did get in some decent practice while prone. Which I need to do if I'm going to shoot a real F class match at some point.

It might hit you in the face with the gas, but the PPK/S fitted with a suppressor looks pretty cool. It caught the eye of the people in the lanes next to mine who wanted to take a look at it. I think I'll look for a smaller suppressor too. The one I used was really big compared to the small PPK/S it was attached to. As expected, shooting cheap .32 ACP ammo made the insides of the PPK VERY dirty.

My two cents is that the QC on the Turkish firearms (of any kind) can be hit or miss. For example, you'll find tons of Turkish made clones of the Benelli M4 shotgun at gun shows and on the web. Some say that their Turkish made clones are just as good as the Italian originals. But others will complain bitterly about how their clone copy M4 has jamming and feeding problems with all sorts of ammo they feed it. And durability is a known issue. See TFB TV's test of a "Turknelli" clone of a Benelli M4. Ask yourself what you'll use the gun for. If it's just a range toy, it'll be OK. If you're going to bet your life on it when SHTF, you might want to think twice.

A suppressed PPk/S is pretty iconic.
One factor holding me back is the fact that (until the canoe accident), I had a Walther PP made by Manurhin. That thing is a tack hammer, just a joy to shoot. I feel I should get some other stuff first.

For practically all of the times I had to submit the background check for a security clearance, I had to provide the fingerprints. The local PD where I lived would do them for you for a fee. Before everything went electronic, I'd just ask the fingerprint tech to make up some extra fingerprint cards (which I paid for, of course). I'd be surprised if you couldn't get that done at the NYPD. If I could get fingerprint cards done by the Pennington County Sheriff's Department, I'd be shocked if the NYPD can't do them for you.

Range trip this week was with beloved XD9 and it did not disappoint. Did a clean Dot Torture drill which isn't common. I think this is one of the best striker fired pistols out there and I do NOT get the hate and memes about it. I suspect there's a literal conspiracy against Springfield Armory. I'm not saying MAC from Military Arms Channel is behind it but....
Seriously, this gun eats EVERY ammo I've ever put in it, groups tight as any gun I own (and that's saying something) and has good ergonomics and trigger. At this point, I have around 30k rounds through the XD9 spread between two guns and I've never had a problem with it.
It's not perfect. It is a bit top-heavy ala SIG pistols and the takedown lever, nice as it is, bangs my hand sometimes during firing. But...damn good pistol.

My two cents is that the QC on the Turkish firearms (of any kind) can be hit or miss. For example, you'll find tons of Turkish made clones of the Benelli M4 shotgun at gun shows and on the web. Some say that their Turkish made clones are just as good as the Italian originals. But others will complain bitterly about how their clone copy M4 has jamming and feeding problems with all sorts of ammo they feed it. And durability is a known issue. See TFB TV's test of a "Turknelli" clone of a Benelli M4. Ask yourself what you'll use the gun for. If it's just a range toy, it'll be OK. If you're going to bet your life on it when SHTF, you might want to think twice.

I can confirm that Canik makes damn good pistols.
I have a fine looking ATI over/under 12g that had...a quirk. Both barrels would fire every time. I sent it in, they fixed it and it's been fine since.
So be cautious but not fearful, I'd say.

One of my future purchases is a chronograph, because I'm curious as to how all the ammo compares on the actual range. I also want to clock some surplus 7.92 Mauser, because I think some of it is a bit hot. I noticed that my KMT Kar98k does ludicrous levels of keyholing with some ammo, is fine with other types. Shoots best with modern commercial. I"m pretty sure that Yugoslav stuff was well above spec and that forced the tumbling.

Taurus revolvers were always respected so far as I know, because they were made on S&W machinery. The autoloaders were less trusted.
Some Turkish guns are nice, that one didn't work for me.

It's a slice of life, aspirational film with a soundtrack that so dominated the airwaves, one struggled to not hear it. Part of the soundtrack of the era.
Worth watching if only to understand something that was hugely important to the culture at the time. I've been going back and watching films that I was too young to understand just to see what all the grownups were talking about. I recognize a lot of the music, which helps.
I mean, if you want a dance movie, "White Nights" crushes "Saturday Night Fever" utterly.

Taurus 85 Total Titanium was a hell of a deal back in the day. I also like the Tracker line - affordable hiking guns.
I'll never forgive them for the Judge, though. Utterly jacked up the .410 ammo market. Used to be a cheap starter hunting round, and now it's overpriced "self-defense" loads as far as the eye can see.

About two years ago, within a two-week period, I watched Saturday Night Fever for the first time and rewatched Taxi Driver and Death Wish. The latter two are honestly good movies, but Saturday Night Fever gains a lot put in context with those better movies. Our culture was on what seemed at the time to be an unstoppable decline. I suspect that Saturday Night Fever struck a chord in a lot of people for that reason.

Okay, I'm putting down a marker. The FBI has been sitting on Matt Weiss and the gambling side of Michigan football for well over a year. They have been saving the story for a rainy day and right now the FBI is getting trashed. In the next couple of weeks they will do their big arrest/rollout, timed to give them good ink right when Patel is sworn in.
Cheating is not just an NCAA issue. Big amounts of money changed hands, and if the FBI was willing prosecute assistants for hiring hookers, you can be damn sure trying to fix the entire playoff, caught their attention.
Why have they held back? Well, the NCAA had the lead, and they can compel testimony, as well as voluntary surrender of materials. That phase is over, so now it's just the FIBers needing a good media cycle, just like arresting sitcom stars for college fraud.

K frame revolver production was particularly affected which gave Bill Ruger and his Security series a big boost. Colt was moribund at the time in competing for security and cop revolvers. The Security Series was built from the beginning for a steady diet of 357 magnums instead of the retrofitted k frame. A Security series Ruger will fit in a k frame holster so Bill did his homework.
The Security design lives on in the Redhawk line of Ruger revolvers. The Super Redhawk takes after the later mid 80s GP 100 design.

Posted by: GWB at February 09, 2025 08:37 PM
Hell, in my neck of the woods it would be something to get a shot longer than 100 yards. Of course, in the People's Republic, we're restricted to shotgun anyway.

Sorry, cannot help you with that information. Have never went hunting. One of they guys at work does, and I think the range is pretty close since they are in the woods. So definitely under 100 yards.
But I am sure others might be able to help answer your question.

I'd wager that in the vast majority of the South you'd be hard pressed to get many 200+ yard opportunities. Trees, terrain, etc. There might be a cotton field or similar here and there, but you probably wouldn't be shooting over them but angled in.
30-06 and 308 are hard to beat down here.

Ain’t that grand? I enjoy doing the right thing, a job well done. The military rewards those types of things. Well, usually.
The orientation guide, I memorized this bit about the Code of Conduct. So about 10 weeks later, in Basic, our company commander asks the class “Can anyone tell me about the Code of Conduct?”
Oh boy! Here’s my chance! My hand shot up. He points at me.
“Sir! The Code of Conduct is an executive order passed in 1955 which provides guidance to soldiers who have become captured or prisoners of war during hostilities. Much more than that, however it embodies the spirit of pride necessary to be the most effective fighting man.”
He was suitably impressed, “Outstanding!”
Then, the Ddill Sergeants pulled me out of class. They were yelling at me, while I’m doing jumping jacks “How do you know so much about the code? Are you CID?” LOL

Hard to call the fouls on Philly b/c their D is built on size AND speed. They don't touch WRs in the backend and their Dline just blows up O lines...

Sightline and geography therefore are irrelevant. So before making a purchase, check with the local regs.
I decided to go in for a .44 magnum single-shot scout rifle, but of course I never see deer when I hunt for them, because they're sitting in my yard, eating the shrubs and crapping everywhere. I could drill these bastards from my front door with a .38, but no hunting within the city limits.

Posted by: GWB at February 09, 2025 08:37 PM
I grew up hunting out West. Even out there, 300+ yard shots for deer were rare. And, to be honest, for most of the hunters I've known, 200 (maybe 250) yards is as far as they can reliably hit. For the area you're talking about, a good lever action will likely suffice, range-wise.
What are you hunting for, meat or trophy? If meat, a lot of calibers chew up meat. I've seen deer with both front quarters pretty much unusable. Over the years, I've gravitated more and more to .33 and .35 caliber cartridges, which seem to anchor game more reliably.
A good .308 will do everything you need, ammo is reliably available, and would give you the capability to reach out to 500 yards (with scope, and *much* more importantly, practice), if you ever wanted/needed to.

Frontloaded, with the best songs on the A-side, although the B-side could have been better with proper production and editing. On the A-side, "Work For Love" could have been made listenable just by telling Al not to shout "WORK WORK WORK WORK" all the time. And "Revenge" had too many words, the music holds up on its own.
Some of the lyrics are better: "Should Have Known Better", "Here We Go", although on inferior songs.
6/10, decent effort, overall.
Oh, and Aimee Mann sings backup, lol. Before she fronted Til Tuesday. Al Jourgenson the right-on leftie doesn't give her credit.

Technically speaking, Rap is not necessarily Music, as by definition contains “Rhythm, Harmony, and Melody”. This had all sorts of panties in a twist. It’s OK to like it, I guess. I was there when it took off. It sounded like grade school rhymes set to a beat.

Not a Stoopid Bowl story, but one of favorite stories from when I cared about foozball was during Jimmy J's first season with the 'Pokes where they went 1-15. Near the end of the season, someone changed one of the directional signs on 183 to read "Loop 12 Cowboys 0." I used to have the clipping from the Ft Worth Startlegram...but it's long lost now.

I saw a thread on Farcebook demanding people not opine they didn't like rap - because rap is how black people "share their stories" and therefore if you don't like it you are racist.
And...the lack of knowledge of history of people is astounding. If you were to go back to the 80s when rap was first getting popular in black communities and were to ask the average black person if THIS was singular way black people could express themselves they'd be offended...and if you then let them see that most of these stories are about pimps, hoes, and murdering competitors well...they were already offended...

For when 32 H&R Magnum is not enough.
I have one with only a few hundred rounds through it.
327, 32 H&R, 32 Long, and 32 ACP just because you can. No 32 Short though. Never got any of those loaded (or found in stock) and the brass cost more than 32 H&R (Starline) so why bother loading any.
Only complaint - A lot heavier than the Undercoverette,
And need to torque down / locktight the screws...

That's partly why I was asking. I am looking at building a 6.5 Creedmoor at some point... and kind of wondering if I needed to do so before hunting. (I'm also going to build 1 8.6 Blackout, maybe. Just because I need a gun that starts with '8'. But that's way in the future.) It sounds like I could start with something I already have and work up rom there.

While researching for sra blaster's long range rifle - ended up getting her a Howa 1500 in an Australian Precision Chassis as it came all in one with decent glass and a bipod and a bitchin Merican Flag cerkote job - but if you are building, there are barreled actions you can get in all the different calibers and different manufacturers - Howa, Remington, etc. mated up to barrels from 18-24 inches. Then get a stock or precision chassis to your taste/budget.

I didn't drink Bud before the fiasco and I'm unlikely to any time in the future but I am kind of undecided on things like this. On the one hand, I totally understand the "screw with us, pay with your (corporate) life" thinking but on the other hand, if the purpose of a boycott is to change a company's behavior, maybe it's counterproductive to continue the punishment once the behavior is changed. Most people seem to have forgiven Smith & Wesson for caving to Clinton.

That's a reasonable point. A change in course is certainly a good start. I'm personally more interested in knowing that the people ultimately responsible for the shit ad campaigns have been sacked before would I consider forgiveness; otherwise, I'll just consider it pandering whilst the cancer remains.
I'm in the same boat as you re: Budweiser but have used Gillette products in the past. Though the tranny beer episode had more visibility, I found Gillette's "straight white men are evil" ad campaign significantly more egregious so I doubt I'll touch any of their products ever again, regardless.

If the penny was created during or before 1982, maybe. Since then, they've been mostly made of zinc.

Just read that pennies cost two cents to make, and melted down, the metal is worth one and a half cents.

This calls for a Food Thread diss track. I'm thinking of rewriting "Not Like Us" but with shaken Manhattans, maple syrup on French toast, and bourbon that costs $23 a handle (two fifths). Then again, mocking a man who named himself Charlie Brown's Dildo does seem like piling on...

Well, I don't know what "Not Like Us" is, but I took your idea and wrote a poem, and I use that term loosely. It could be a diss rap if you read it in the right voice.
Maple syrup on French toast
Especially for Dildo our host
But why he always tryna
To get that garlic grown in China?
Manhattans are made to shake
Lean and tough, that's his kind of steak
$23 for bourbon, hey that's kinda nice
But for that kind of cash, he better get twice
Jack 'n Coke, cuz he's witty and urban
But hold the whiskey, and use $1200 bourbon
What's that caliber with the hype and rarity?
It ain't .45, it's 9-something Euroweenie!

I agree Springfield XD's get little respect. One, the company/importer owner got into a fight with 2A Activists regarding some Bill Ruger-like activity where Illinois govt carved out an exception for Springfield Armory. Two, for some reason, some trainers spread the word that XD's were not reliable, Three, some folks prefer higher priced or brand names. A few dislike grip safeties.
Posted by: whig's phone at February 09, 2025 08:06 PM (ctrM5)
It really feels like a semi-organized plot.
I've never seen anyone reputable say the XD9 was not reliable.
They are inexpensive, but that's a good thing. Their magazines are slick AF.
I do get the grip safety complaint but many folks want the extra security and honestly, in 30k rounds, I've never had the gun fail because of the grip safety....or for anything else. If you hate it, duct tape is cheap.

There are enough pennies in circulation now to last a long time. Eventually there will probably be laws requiring all cash prices to be even multiples of 5 cents.

The announcers are completely humiliating themselves too. They keep fawning over "Patrick" - the QB sacked 6 times, with 2 INTS, and is behind 6 to 40, which maybe some sort of record. I'm not sure if they've mentioned the other team's QB's given name. Seems like they barely talk about him.
Earlier, they were fawning over the celebrities in attendence. Neglected to mention the POTUS. Clown show.
