I lived in Lawton Oklahoma, home of Ft. Sill. Most of the housing was built for the military. That is mild compared to a lot of what I saw. The inside walls of my house 2x4's were all turned sideways, I reckon to save just a bit, but try finding a door to fit into a 2.5" wall...1.5" of 2x4 and 1" of sheetrock. One long wall wasnt even secured to the slab, it would move 1" in and out. I finally pulled the baseboard off and used construction adhesive to glue it to the concrete.

Went into the attic and found an open junction box with half a dozen wires with out even wire nuts.

The plumbing? Dont get me started.

Pussy! A real man would have cut a hole in the drywall big enough for a hammer drill and anchored that wall properly! 😁

ETA... I actually would have and then just patched the rock.

Extreme Spread

Small sample sizes lead to incorrect conclusions.

I shot 10 cartridges at 50 yards, 3/4 inch group.

I shot 10 more cartridges at 100 yards, 1 inch group.

Better moa at 100 yards.

Suppose you sent 50 shots at 50 yards,
then 50 shots at 100 yards? Do you think it'd hold up?

5 times larger sample to base y'er conclusion.
What if you used a 100 shot sample?

Yes, I've done this.
Random acts of accuracy do occur.
Skews the conclusion every time.
Continue the process to a statistically valid sample size,
y'er gonna find that the idea of better at long range than short
is optimism at it's finest. :sneaky:

Easy enough to prove.
Grab a brick of y'er favorite rimfire cartridges.
Send 50 at a single aimpoint at 50 yards.
Then 50 at 100 yards, repeat at 200 yards.
It'll be educational.
Might ruin an internet discussion topic though. :oops:

I did find it interesting that the department wanted the stock triggers replaced with flat shoe triggers. I am no pistol expert, but arent flat shoe triggers mostly a cosmetic thing?

For a work gun, my instinct would be that curved shoe would be ideal because it means your finger ends up in the same place on the trigger every time. Flat shoe triggers seem like they would be an unnecessary additional variable, but maybe I'm missing something. The only one I have is on an AR that I bought assembled that way, and I don't see the logic yet.
