    Sidearms & Scatterguns Books on pistol shooting?

    Re: Books on pistol shooting? Got the Gonzalez book in my cart how about Gabe Suarez stuff? I took one of his classes when he was still in SoCal but have not followed him much in a while, it seems his ego got a bit inflated, anyone know about this one... The Modern Day Gunslinger: The...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Books on pistol shooting?

    Guys I am going to be laid up in bed for a while in a few weeks for some recover, any good pistol books out there? I am well stocked with books on sniping and rifle work in general but the only book on pistol shooting I have is Surgical Speed shooting by Andy Stanford. I have a couple of DVDs...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Stills from crappy high speed video

    Re: Stills from crappy high speed video What camera is that? I was working with a Casio that could reach 3000 frames a second and it worked well at a distance but as soon as I tried some up close stuff for a pistol cycling the images were worthless.

    Flat Dark Earth Ionbond?

    Re: Flat Dark Earth Ionbond? Regarding the shine on ionbond products I have seen plenty of pistols done with it and like everything else it all depends on the prep work. I have seen the top of a slide blasted with 80 grit AO and it leaves a very dull surface, as well as flats that are left at...

    Looking to upgrade a basic AR? I need some help

    Re: Who has the meanest looking AR? I need some help Dan thanks for clarifying your post. What you have now in the original question is much different that asking for a "mean looking" AR. New or not, when someone asks for guidance with a reasonable question they in turn receive good and very...

    Looking to upgrade a basic AR? I need some help

    Re: Who has the meanest looking AR? I need some help I feel buzzards circling this already. Define mean...something like "if you touch my gun it will give you an STD mean" or "I will paint shark teeth, a chain saw, barbed wire stickers and maybe a pirate theme mean"? Clowns and mimes still...

    Fair price for mags?

    Re: Fair price for mags? Well to answer the question two new thermold mags, 3 used GI 30 rounders and a used GI 20 rounder were worth $75 shipped and the auction got 21 views over 7 days. I dont mind selling them off and to me the price was fair, I was a little suprised how few views there...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns para p14 light rail deployment pistol questions

    Re: para p14 light rail deployment pistol questions How many rounds through it? When you the trigger is sloppy is the pull or sear break changing? When you say it is not shooting like it used to explain more, accuracy dropping, extraction failures, sounds like a good cleaning might solve some...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns funny story, sig vs glock

    Re: funny story, sig vs glock I cannnot believe an instructor would bash someones gun that they are going to be counting on. Its one thing to state preferences and why but its unreal he would tell a new shooter that her guns are crap. I would say he lost all credibility at that point and I...

    Dress shoes designed for running - What brand?

    Re: Dress shoes designed for running - What brand? Ecco without a doubt. I trained with a bunch of OSS guys and they all wore their old dress shoes to the range for training and that was all they wore.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Keep smokin my TLR1...lone wolf?

    Re: Keep smokin my TLR1...lone wolf? Carbon on the light is not going to hurt it but for an easy clean up just spray it with Mag Slick and it will wipe off with a paper towel. http://www.brownells.com/gun-cleaning-ch...=1&psize=96

    Fair price for mags?

    Re: Fair price for mags? Thanks guys, thats what I was looking for. I am keeping some 20 rounders and was in the process of scraping funds together for an AR when all of this hit so my AR dream went up in smoke.

    Fair price for mags?

    What is a fair price to sell used mags for? I dont want to gouge anyone but I have some used GI and new thermold mags laying around and no AR to feed them into. They are reliable mags and if I was still running an AR I would want mags I could dump in the dirt and keep nice mags for work or...

    Maggie’s Anew thought on things

    Re: Anew thought on things I had a brother in law in the pharmacuticals industry. He was very clear that it was a fact that the Dr. used whatever drug had the best sales person, whether it meant he took the Dr golfing or sent in the girl with the huge tits they got the sale. It has nothing to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns S&W 4506

    Re: S&W 4506 Cylinder and Slide did 3rd Generation stuff for a while but I dont know of a lot of smiths that did anything. I think one reason is they were so damn reliable, feed ammo, little lube on the rails and you were good to go. If I could add a rail on mine for a light I would still be...
