    Gun Culture or Gun Community: There IS a Difference and It’s an Important One

    Interesting differentiation. I would be curious to find out the breakdown of firearm owners within these groups; that being, how many would consider themselves to be part of the "culture". My suspicion is that a lot of people who are thoughtful and honest with themselves would realize they meet...

    Getting old

    Sadly, my body is complaining about the abuse and neglect I gave it. Motocross landed me a new knee about three years ago. Softball left my right shoulder a mess. Naturally, if I could go back and tell my younger self what it would be like at 65, I would have answered "will deal with that...

    Another ISIS leader off the board

    Doubt that the terrorists are unaware of the "unfortunate" demise of their leaders. It's not likely too secret. As for reporting it, I can see two benefits. First, Americans can see that actions are being taken eradicate these evil bastards. Second, it lets the terrorists know that they aren't...

    Another ISIS leader off the board

    Oh darn. I am unable to find much sympathy for terrorists who learn there aren't any virgins waiting for them. Carry on.

    Feeling nostalgic

    I'm old enough to remember the McDonald's ad on TV that said you could get two hamburgers, fries and a coke and "Something you haven't seen for a while. Change back from your dollar."

    Is It Bad to Store Magazines Fully Loaded?

    Spring set is definitely a real thing, in my experience. I do agree that new processes for heat treatment and metallurgy have the potential for improvement, but I still avoid keeping springs under compression over time.

    "The Curse of Glock" or "Why I Have Moved on, but Cannot Fully Sever that Relationship"

    Perhaps to some degree this may be true. When the RSA rolls out of the land/lug machined into the bottom of the barrel while shooting that's a problem in my world. Especially when it prevents the slide from cycling correctly. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations, but when there's a problem...

    "The Curse of Glock" or "Why I Have Moved on, but Cannot Fully Sever that Relationship"

    In this case, the RSA was clearly defective. Visually you could see that the flanges on both ends were out of alignment and measurements with a digital caliper confirmed that. The response of Glock CS was to go buy another one. There are plenty of places that sell them. I was unimpressed.

    "The Curse of Glock" or "Why I Have Moved on, but Cannot Fully Sever that Relationship"

    Don't even think about that. Bought one of those Iron Mountain G48s for the granddaughter because it's the "most beautiful gun ever". Good grief, that company appears to have zero Q.C. Cerakote/paint in slide rails. On the slide guides. In the bottom front of the slide to excess. The Glock guy...

    What If the M16 Rifle Never Existed?

    What would the anti-gun crowd focus their hatred on?

    GB shipping can be absurd

    Trust me. We more than make out OK with Prime shipping... 😠

    GB shipping can be absurd

    Looking to buy an extra magazine or two for my Echelon. Browsing the listings on GunBroker, I see that sellers want between $8-$30 to ship. $30? Does it come loaded with ammo? I understand that shipping rates have escalated, but does someone genuinely expect a buyer to pay that much to mail...

    Firing Squad

    I've always wondered if those who protest an execution would be so inclined should the killer's victim(s) had been someone they cared about.

    Hi Point 995. Let's not overthink this and get carried away.
