    Suppressing the XD-M Elite Tactical OSP

    BTW, on the Red Dots.... I have: Trijicon RMR 2 Vortex Viper Leupold Deltapoint Pro -and just got- EOTECH EFLX My favorite was the RMR, until I got the EFLX. The RMR has an auto adjust brightness mode and looks to be the toughest of all the Red Dots. The window has a blueish tint to it, and I...

    Suppressing the XD-M Elite Tactical OSP

    According to the Parts Diagram for my Vortex Viper for the Springfield OSP models they use two screws of #6-48x1/4". I think I got 5/16" screws in the Vortex box, that are for mounting it on the picatinny rail adapter it comes with, I had to file the screws down a small amount so they did not...

    Suppressing the XD-M Elite Tactical OSP

    I don't have a suppressor, but I have considered getting one and read up on it, and I see no discussion of the decoupler/piston on the can.... The mass of the can affects the recoil and slide cycling, force equals mass times acceleration. You increase the mass significantly with a can but use...

    Hellcat Pro Broken

    Operating something does cause wear, no matter how little, there is still wear and it adds up... Advocates for dry firing, don't envision excessive dry firings when they say it isn't an issue... ...they would admit, its not wear free to dry fire, they simply deny the claims that dry firing is...

    Million dollar revolver?

    Unless Johnny Depp buys it.....:p Note: In case you don't get the joke, Johnny Depp has squandered his fortune he has made from making block buster movies.... ....he blames his financial managers, his financial managers pointing out his habitual purchasing of extraordinarily expensive...

    Hellcat Pro Broken

    Yea, 50-75 dry fires a day sounds excessive to me. It adds up.

    M1A1 Bolt failure,Blew apart

    Its the 5.56mm vs .223 all over again. If you have a 5.56 chamber you can shoot both, the Wyle chamber is designed for both, but if you have a .223 chamber, you can only shoot .223. IIRC, that the NATO case has a few dimension changes that are so tiny, there should be no problem feeding and...

    Who wants a JXP10 ?

    Pot Metal got its name from the early days of the auto industry, the workers would gather up all the non-ferrous metal scrapes and melt them down in a pot and poor them into molds for the decorative attachments on the cars.... It was mostly zinc, alloyed with some other metals with a low...

    Is this for real?

    You're jumping way ahead, Satellite Communication to control the Kill Switch is far from what they are proposing. Sure, maybe it would take that form, and this may be the solution, but we have no idea what form it will take. I still suspect they are poorly communicating an idea of just...

    Who wants a JXP10 ?

    Sure it does.... Or do you mean the pistols? Is it uncommon, I don't know, but I'm willing to believe it is, but when I read this; Its basically Pot Metal, No Thanks....

    Potent Potables (aka What’s your poison?)

    That time of year for the spiked Eggnog..... But say as a teenager you got so sick on whiskey, you can't bare the taste decades later or any similar whiskey product, like Bourbon, which is the key ingredient in spiked Eggnog... So I have experimented and found a good concoction for Eggnog... 2...

    Is this for real?

    Yea, the big thing to point out, it was a massive oversight by Fiat/Chrysler that basically went from bankrupt to Fiat taking over to make them more bankrupt and screwing up everything. They fixed it right away, and its not like it is that easy to hack into a vehicle and take control of it, it...

    Black rifle almost had me

    There may be more to that. Come to think of it, it was only after the design became public domain, did AR-15 sales explode. Before that, only Colt sold them and they didn't market them to much, sure a few adds here and there, and IIRC, they were expensive.... Suddenly anyone could build and...

    Just picked up as XDM elite osp compact.

    Why does Springfield Armory only offer a .45ACP XD-M Elite in compact form? Why no full size XD-M Elite in .45 ACP? They even discontinued the full sized XD-M .45ACP. I had to get mine used, since I am in anti-gun Maryland, it complicates online ordering Pistols that come with greater than 10...

    Black rifle almost had me

    As I thought to myself, the AR-15 was designed nearly 70 years ago, and the biggest reason everyone produces their own version of it, is because the patents ran out and the design is considered public domain. That made me chuckle.... But yes, I get the point....

    Is this for real?

    It was a Jeep Cherokee, not the Grand Cherokee that is a totally different vehicle. It was a security flaw/bug in the software that did the remote updating and checking of the modules on the CAN Bus. They could hack in like they were Chrysler trying to read the OBD codes or update software...

    What happened in 1920 to cause the creation of the ACLU?

    You do know the ACLU's founder was a full fledged Communist? America needs a good ACLU, wish we had one. The current one, for ever good thing it does, it does at least 4 bad things. Its riddled with leftist that many have little respect for the constitution, they simply want to tear the system...

    Is this for real?

    How does defeating a kill switch effect emissions? There is CARB exempt status, this is how you get all sorts of aftermarket engine parts, because the modification has been proven not make the engine fail emissions.... But you wouldn't need that, because defeating a kill switch wouldn't affect...
