Huh. When it became clear that the House ethics probe was going to release their findings, Gaetz dropped out. Interesting. I really hope they release the findings, anyway.

It’s the time of the year that dark beer just tastes better. Brown ales are on tap today; this is nice one from the North Shore (Castle Danger brewing).

That’s the mother(love)ing spirit!

I believe the FAL Para had a brake on it, instead of the slotted flash hider…and they were around in the 1960’s, if not earlier… But, you really didn’t see them much on rifles until the 1990’s. I had a precision AR for a bit; 24” bull barrel, with a JP muzzle brake that looked like it...

I, uh… Might’ve been the guy that fired a nuclear-level hand load out of a snub-nosed .500 S&W. It had a big ol’ brake on the end. At an indoor range. The flash reached into both lanes on either side of me. Ever heard a busy indoor range go instantly silent? That’ll do it. FWIW, it was my...

The best brake there is is a suppressor. Just sayin’.

They can be obnoxious to shooters on either side of the brake; some of them can “sandblast” burnt powder/debris (my buddy’s .50BMG with a “fishgill” pattern brake is notorious amongst us for this…). That said, I have them on a couple rifles.

https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/ho-ho-ho-now-you-can-have-the-die-hard-holster-too-44817268 I won’t be getting one for obvious reasons…

Goood. Goood. Let the dark side flow through you… And make sure the whisky is old enough to vote…

The Equalizer is based off the EZ; pretty sure it’s got an internal hammer as well.

Nice. I’ve looked at them a few times…I think I’ll likely end up getting a HK CC9, though.

Can’t say I’ve had that issue…I know that hot loads through a lightweight will beat up my middle finger by slamming it against the trigger guard…

One of my rifles has a Troy BRD; another a DD Lite (or maybe Omega; can’t recall). Both have been on my rifles for well over 10 years; neither rifle is a Saint (both Colts), nor are they .308’s. My .308 AR, a PSA, has a Magpul handguard. The sentiment still applies, however.

There is no objective “best”. What is best for me and my intended use may not be best for you.

Beautiful setup!

It takes work, but…you can do it, too. At the end of the day, it just comes down to the fundamentals; grip, sight picture, trigger press. I started at ten feet until I could make a ragged hole (or at least a very right group); then moved it back to 20 and repeat, then 30, etc…once you get past...

They might not stop & drop, per se…but high-velocity body piercings tend to make people stop what they were doing that made them candidates for aforementioned piercings… In the video above, the receiver sure as heck stopped fighting, and started running…and that’s a win in a use of force...

I’m not terribly concerned that the 158gr+P SWC-HC’s—aka “FBI Load”—aren’t going to penetrate. Placed between the neck & the ‘nads, they’ll do. I also know that I can make hits with a 2” snub at 25 yards fairly easily; 50 yards with a little more work. They’re still plenty relevant.

This is following up quite nicely…

I picked them it up 20 or so years ago in, if memory serves, St. Augustine Florida…
