    Playing dumb games

    The last thing I ordered from them was some Rem 700 extractors. And then I waited. And eventually I forgot about the order. And then several months later, an envelope showed up in my mailbox and I was surprised and delighted.

    When does the winning start?

    If we get a full-blown crisis, 80-90% of people are dead in the first year. Of the dead, probably 3/4 are fundamentally unhealthy and the other 1/4 are just unlucky (catch a bullet, get sick, etc.). It'd suck pretty hard, but this shouldn't be surprising if you look around the next time you're...

    Any Auto Technicians Here?

    The Germans in particular are known for being better at complexity than reliability, but their customers are quite happy with the dealership experience so there's not been much incentive to change. The less said about British automotive electronics, the better. Assuming that a manufacturer...

    Any Auto Technicians Here?

    1) There is no "central computer" on a modern car; in fact, quite the opposite (it's a distributed network). 2) Many of those modules are indeed pretty frickin important. Because of this, virtually every electronic module is protected against reverse voltage (-14VDC for 60 sec per ISO 16750-2...

    Anyone ever buy a house under short sale?

    Is the market distressed enough that a bank will take a big loss? I know that we're headed in that direction, but it seems that banks won't capitulate until much later in the cycle.

    Anderson Mfg. Sold to Ruger..... Any concerns?

    Concerns specific to this one instance? Not really; I like Ruger as a company and frankly Anderson didn't bring anything to the market that's irreplaceable. Concerns in general? Yeah; continued consolidation and concentration of capital and market share is a problem because if it continues...

    Sig P320 Paranoia Setting in.

    There are Glock parts that are almost certainly MIM - the firing pin, the firing pin safety plunger, and the locking block immediately come to mind. But like every part in a Glock, they appear to be designed as part of a system that is very tolerant of widely varying component dimensions. MIM...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Two more P320s discharge in Holster.

    Yep. "State of the art" is very much a real thing in product liability lawsuits, and the mere existence of those other guns that don't go off by themselves will be an enormous problem. Imagine trying to defend the decision to fully cock the striker and deactivate the firing pin block with the...

    I would love to hear their definition of "fully pulled". It'll be asked by a lawyer at some point, if it hasn't already.

    Suppressors Analysis Paralysis - 9mm can

    The Fly 9 is never a bad choice. There's a Mojave 9 showing up by the end of this week and I look forward to giving it a try.

    I would like to see Sig produce a detailed list of those industry safety standards.

    If only they put that same effort into engineering and manufacturing a quality product.

    Suppressors Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen S Repeatability??

    Nowadays we're getting close to the "they're all pretty good" point in the product maturation curve when it comes to basics like repeatability.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Two more P320s discharge in Holster.

    My opinion is that this right here is the most significant contributing factor. Study enough of these pistols, and my guess is that you'll find one that either disengages the firing pin block at full trigger return, or does so with trivial rearward moment. It's a design totally unsuitable for...

    Can you explain why it's junk and in what way it needs to be unfucked?

    It was just self defense kids!!

    Getting kinda weird when NPR is airing a defense of Israel: https://www.npr.org/2025/07/29/nx-s1-5478643/war-scholar-discusses-why-he-does-not-think-there-is-a-genocide-in-gaza

    Sig P320 Paranoia Setting in.

    It's either that or they simply bought the business with aggressive pricing in an attempt to take market share from the competition. If you're in government procurement, it would be very difficult to explain why you went with a more expensive product from a "foreign" company instead of the...

    Forgotten History- Uvalde Texas.

    So he resigned and presumably the men who prevented him from making entry are still employed. That doesn't seem like the desired outcome.

    It was just self defense kids!!

    No one in Gaza has "voted for Hamas" since the US forced the Palestinians to hold elections in 2006. Remember USAID, the corrupt organization dismantled by DOGE? It was used to fund those elections, and then to influence the outcome (unsuccessfully as it turned out). After Hamas surprisingly...
