The gap on top of my new magazine(do not know the actual name or discription) is wider than that of the stock magazine.
Laws make people safer???
Funny, because I sleep well knowing that if somebody breaks into my home, a Mossberg 500 is close by, not a book of laws and statutes.
I don’t know…. if you have seen the Book of Statutes for your average town you could do some real damage throwing it at someones head. And most are thick enough that they could make a pretty decent ballistic shield (except for the small coverage of course).
Just keep one loaded in a trebuchet rigged up to your doors at night. It’ll destroy a home invader faster than a fat guy takes down the dessert bar at golden corral.
TTAG, please do not host pictures of excrement on your page. I’m eating breakfast…
Seriously, this guy is an asshat and one of those largely responsible for the disarmament laws that just went into effect here. He’s running for AG here next year.
Vote against anti-gun moron – check…
I think this map has been up here before, but here you go: http://www.nysaferesolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Green-Star-Map-07-Sep-13.png . 52/62 counties have passed resolutions seeking repeal.
Once you get north of the city full of mindless sheep who do as their told, there is a pretty rural and pro 2A culture to be enjoyed. However we do have to deal with the laws enacted by the numerically superior NYC contingent. The difference in mindset between both sides is truly stunning.
While we are heavily restricted in terms of rifle features and mag capacity from the SAFE act, CCW permits are still under county control. With that, I just had mine come in over the weekend after 10 months of waiting and an interview with the issuing judge. Better late than never.
The new laws in Maryland will make people as safe as the old laws in Chicago. And It’s All On You, brian.
i am happy to say i added to that total as much as i could
Laws do not make people safer. They create an illusion of safety and superiority. In reality when the illusion fails and the SHTF, the shock alone may kill the victim if not the violence. Then you have a bunch of useless laws on the books no one wants to admit are wrong, but they won’t do away with.
Frosh is such a douchebag. The real shame though is that he is running unopposed [by republicans] for Attorney General, because the GOP in this state is inept. You better believe you will need those weapons to defend yourself, crime is going up.
“Increased drift is not the end of the world, though, and if measured properly, can be overcome with ease.”
Don’t be fooled by this, a 10mph wind at 900 yards at a muzzle velocity of 2390 = 2.8 mils (4000 DA at 90*)
2.8 mils of drift = 24.3ft of drift
Hmmm…good luck.
Act 35
Signed July 8, 2011
Nov 1, 2011, 115 days later, permit #1 issued to same J.B. Van Hollen
In the height of initial rush, my app dropped in the box in the capitol on a Tues, my card number 109,*** arrived in my mailbox that Friday.
Not , in a “Da Bearss” accent “We’ll see where we are in 180 days, then take another 180 day to process, and heck doncha ya’know the mail is slow so that will take another ten days, and for Dika’s sake what’s your hurry anyways.”
The question is, are they corrupt south of our border or incompetent?
Replace the “or” with “and”, make it a statement, not a question.
Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine will equal that and maybe more. Real show stopper.
There are really people here saying that is a photoshop….Really? Have you folks even been to a gun range before? If you snap the picture at the right time – most any pistol will produce a sizable fireball. This one is bigger than you normally see because of H-110 powder. 2400 or any of the slower powders will do this.
Heck – even a little .22 magnum mousegun will throw a fireball close to that size.
For those who like SAO, but can’t afford a new gun, just cock the hammer back before your first shot and you have all shots SA. If you practice this at the range, it becomes easier and muscle memory would kick in under stress.
If anyone knows of a technical reason not to do this, please let me know. But I practice at the range both with the first shot in DA sometime and SA sometimes and have had no difficulties on either my 226 or 220.
And yes, I am a Sig fan because they fit my hands better for “natural” aiming than a Glock and they can eat just about anything with no problems. Doesn’t make the Glock worse or better, just not right for me.
Didn’t Colt 1911s undergo the same abuse and neglect? Did they fare any better (or worse)? Was training more of a priority then? Or more of a priority in the other services?
‘Do you think the Second Amendment gives you the right to shoot an American police officer or an American soldier if you happen to disagree with the policies of a legitimately elected government?’
If said Government is infringing upon the constitution and my inalienable rights?
Yes. Emphatically.
Double Action = No thanks for me. I had one when I was in. It was an OK gun, I am just not, nor ever will be a DA fan. I would take a G17 8 days a week over a M9
I went into the Army in the late 80’s. As a tanker I spent more time with the M9 and M3 in training then the M16. Ours were virtually brand new. I thought it was a wonderful pistol. Easy to disassemble and reassemble, reliable and more then accurate enough for Soviet torso targets out to 25 meters every time. When I got to my first post they still had the M1911. My issued weapon was dated 1944 built by a typewriter company and was a 45 year old piece of crap. I thought the 1911 was the worst pistol on the planet. Jammed constantly, only held seven rounds and was a PIA to tear down and put back together. IMO whatever the 9mm lacked in stopping power, was made up for by having more then twice the rounds, and ability to stay on target.
25 years later, I own many 1911’s but no 92/M9’s. I chose a CZ75 over it. Validating your point, the new M9’s were great, the beat up old 1911’s sucked.
Great article and precisely my feelings about the M9, same thing I’ve heard from many military vets and active duty guys.
My M92A1 is fantastic.
MR Baby Desert Eagle .45. I could never get the thing to feed reliably and it never met a stove pipe it didn’t like!
Why are the gungrabbers usually ugly beyotches and pencil-necked geeks? Is it a requirement that a ‘grabber must be ugly and stupid?
So schools are putting motorcycles into locked theaters and when a TSA person with PTSD shot her panties, NICS stayed open.
Did I skim the article too quickly?
Walther G22. Bought it when I turned 18 and was into Counter Strike. Somehow hung onto it all these years, and now my wife won’t let me sell it because she likes to shoot it a couple times a year. One of the few rifles she can hold up without complaining about the weight. One of these days it may just “disappear”
It’s like all the worst elements of GSG airsoft-inspired “design” but without actually looking like a real world gun. I didn’t even get the threaded barrel, but even if I did, the bore is so off-center that a suppressor would never work. The last round BHO would engage before the mag was empty, and the gun often would not fire because of the mag safety, so both had to be removed from the gun before it would even cycle reliably.
The built in optics rail is part of the plastic stock, so mounting an optic is useless, since the stock shifts around when using or cleaning. The plastic front sight post fell out somewhere, and I never found it, so I just threaded in a set screw instead to make it usable,
100% LOL
I had a SIG P226 in 40 S&W that I just could never get to run 110%.
Part of the issue seemed to be the magazines but I would still have FTF’s and FTE’s more often than I should have.
Ended up selling it; my other sigs run like a top
S&W 642 Airweight (internal hammer) in 38 special. I wanted to love it, but couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with it even at 7 yards. Neither could the shop owner that sold it to me or at least 5 buddies at the range. I thought for sure it had a crown issue but S&W said no. Got a full refund in store credit from the shop owner for that one.
My Department issued 92FS saved mine and my partners life one night. It passes my test.
That was one of the most insightful and well written articles I have ever read on a gun blog. The maligned 92 series is definitely a better gun that it’s current day reputation would lead one to believe. It’s nice to read an article supporting a gun design without having to bash it’s competition. Fanboyism and brand loyalty should not delude one into thinking that every other design is inferior because they do not own one.
City Police .Give them an out. It will look better to the Judge if you don’t lie and make us sit here too long.
Worst gun I’ve ever owned would have to be a M11 9mm Carbine. Made by a company called Leinad Inc out of Ducktown TN. That thing had about every single malfunction you could think of. Stove Pipes, F2F, slam fires, the words. It even got to the point where it would randomly break magazines. I never did figure that one one.
Close second would be my Century Arms CETME. But I eventually got all the kinks ironed out of it.
That looks like so much fun. 🙂
The term “Assault weapon” has been with us since the second world war , it was used by the military first and is as meaningless as any other term: like battle rifle (does this sound less scary?), or hunting rifle, or sports car, or sports utility vehicle, or beer glass, or martini glass if you want to take the analogy that far. Rifles are rifles and cars are cars however specific types of cars-glasses-rifles have their own name.
The difference between an ar-15 and a current issue military m-16 is pretty much limited to not having a burst setting in the fire selector. A big part of these rifles (ar-15, ak lookalikes) allure is that they look “dangerous” like their military counterparts. Deal with the fact that the ar-15 is an assault weapon look alike and will probably be called just that and stop trying to force this Orwellian newspeak on everyone! You should be able to own one, however just like buying an SUV you can’t complain that people aren’t calling it an elevated off road station wagon …
