Accessories MCX Spear LT Upper Conversion kit - 9” 300blk zero rounds

Bought this with the intention of SBRing my other Spear LT lower and changing my truck set up from 5.56 to 300blk. Realistically all of my free time/money is taken up with long range things and wouldn’t do this new set up justice. 72076.

Australian Rocket goes the wrong way.... Well obviously!

After their miserable failure to take over the world of breakdancing... Australia's first attempt to launch a rocket has worked out just as well.

Well obviously! They had it pointing the wrong way! Heck of a Barbie, though!

Well, they'll be back.

Oh and, that's not a rocket... THIS is a rocket!

Review Walther PDP Pro 5" Polymer

I post about pistols from time to time and every once in a while do a review. My background is that I have been shooting USPSA since the early 2000s and hit G in 2006. Since then, one of the things that I do for a living is I am one of the owners of a retail firearms store with an attached shooting range. We sell and rent guns to the public. To me pistols are very subjective in that what feels good to me, may not feel good to someone else.

At some point in the last year, I did a kind of review on pistols and I don't really make an argument about any of the subjective stuff. I do however tend to comment on reliability. I think at this point, I am a pretty good source on it because 1) I have extensively shot most full frame production pistols in the US, more than a little bit. 2) We have a rental fleet with more than 500 firearms in it and we keep data on when they go out of service to include things like how often we have to clean them, how often and what kind of repairs we have to make and how often we have real failures.

About a year ago, I got to shoot a Walther PDP Pro with the Parker Mountain Machine comp and I really enjoyed it. So I bought two Walthers so that I could cannibalize them and made one for myself. This particular pistol now officially has over 50K rounds fired through it and I wanted to detail the problems that I had with it. When I first put the pistol together, I went to the range and in the first magazine I had two failures to feed shooting 115 grain Winchester white box range ammo. I immediately got aggravated and was looking at the pistol, the things I installed and saw the instructions for the comp. It clearly stated that the pistol functions with 124 grain or heavier ammunition and that 115 grain was not recommended. So I have now shot another 49,980 some odd rounds through it without a single failure. I have not had to replace a single part, there was not a single break or failure. Over the 50,000 rounds fired, I cleaned the pistol after the first 500 round range session because it was kind of covered with grease in some spots that smelled bad when it heated up. Since that cleaning, I have not cleaned the pistol once. (I have cleaned the end of the surefire multiple times and the optics multiple times).

I went back and checked our rental fleet where we have several PDPs including 5 and 4 inch frame pistols in both the normal and Pro versions. They do get cleaned every 5k rounds (got to keep the customers happy) but none of them have had a failure of any kind just like my personal pistols. I never thought that I would write this but Walther has moved into my personal S Tier of pistols in terms of reliability to join most Glocks and almost all of the hammer fired H&K pistols.

TEAM USA CLINCHES INTERNATIONAL MATH OLYMPIAD

Ostensibly, this is one of those bullsh*t Twitter / Instagram posts of no substance - any reasonably involved parent would recognize what Olympiad this really is.

But it did get me thinking…

Google “international olympiad team usa” and look under “Images.”

Looks like they got Vincent Chined, but - I suppose - in a good way?

No surprise our asses are getting handed to us.

Go figure.

Suppressors Analysis Paralysis - 9mm can

Ok - so I’ve been reading through threads but haven’t seen this directly answered. Been searching for weeks for my first can. I’m starting with a 9mm can for primary use on a PCC and will also use it on 300BO subs and 350 legend.

I’ve narrowed down to I think three primary options but finding direct comparisons hasn’t been easy. Anyone have experience with these and can give insights?

Priorities:
1. Maximum sound suppression
2. Covers 9mm, 300BO and 350 Legend
3. Weight

Current contenders:
1. TBAC Fly 9
2. Dead Air Mojave 9
3. OCL Lithium

Would like to hear any experiences/thoughts on these, positive and negative.

Member Link Up Any Air Force Academy Grads Out There?

My daughter is about to start her freshman year of high school and her #1 goal is to go to the USAFA. We spent nearly two hours with her guidance councilor today and she was very helpful and very eager to help my daughter along her way. One thing that caught my attention is that this councilor has never had a student apply to the AFA. To West Point, but not to the AFA. She also divulged that Air Force recruiters in our area are few and far between and often difficult to get a hold of. I am the type of guy that when there is something VERY important that is outside of my knowledge base, I will kick every bush and pull out all the stops to find the information I'm looking for.

My daughter is also very active in our local Civil Air Patrol squadron and just loves it. While CAP has a lot of great resources, I thought it would really awesome to find someone who had acutally been there and graduated from the AFA. We know we are off to a great start but having a bit of guidance as to where to focus, what may give her a leg up and just general questions would be a huge help.

Thanks in advance,
CM

Don't call 911!


FTFA"

Cincinnati police chief says out of 100 people watching and recording violent attack, only 1 called 911​


Well at least they stopped to video:

Video is in the link, I can't find a version without the talking heads "Explaining" everything to us.

What got me was Everyone filmed it, no one called 911 or tried to stop.

I know the pit is divided on "Would you intervene or walk away" I get both--but to stop and film? Yeah DOOOOOOOMED we are.
