hmmm. I didn't know that slingshots were so popular and had a following. I do use one for nocking down wasp nests I cant reach though

haha. my wife actually used to work on at a small reloading company in northern Illinois while I was in afghan land and she has already said the next pistol we buy is going to be for her. :( we take turns on who gets a gun... somehow she got the first turn. but if my wife didn't like guns, I wouldn't of married her. haha I for one would rather just carry one pistol and maybe a backup revolver on the ankle. I prefer having multiple mags.

lol. fair enough, I guess if something is wrong with it you can always put some work into it. bolt guns are so much easier to work on than gas guns.

yeah jtallen... sadly I think you are 100% correct. but the way we see it at least gives me a smile in the face of all the corruption. lol.

haha. way better than actually working out. who has the motivation for that? lol. I shall go tell my wife I need more pistols for my new workout routine... think she will buy it?

don't do it! they aren't what they used to be. better off building a decent bolt gun.

Welcome from western Wisconsin Meat. Geissele triggers are number 1 in my book, though I cant say I have much experience with any other good triggers, just some crappy ones. haha. I would have to disagree with wash about the light profile barrel though. a heavy profile barrel like a bull barrel is what I would do. the thickness would make it stiffer and give it more accuracy, plus heat up less quickly so keep your groups tighter if you are putting enough rounds down range to really heat things up. I do agree on the barrel length he said though. for the distance you are looking at shooting, you don't need a 24 inch barrel. 20 inches is really the max I would do. wash might be right though in the light profile being better for you, he's a smart guy... though a bit odd. also improving your groups might be as simple as shooting a different load, barrels are different and like different things. barrel harmonics can play a bigger part than most people realize. or maybe even more simple yet, making sure you use the basic shooting fundamentals all the time. I know there are times when I just want to shoot holes in poop and don't concentrate on my fundamentals.

yeah, we should vote him president. haha. that would be an adventure for our country.

lol. idk how he keeps his pants up. betting if he wears a coat he has a shoulder holster and at least one ankle holster also. haha.

two points way better than single points or three points

just reload. :P

I think i am immune to GBW, I could be the cure for countless gun owners!

well at least if you meet the axe guy in the alley, he will be bringing an axe to a gun fight. haha. is it special brownies that are keeping everything calm? that would be understandable. lol. I could not stand being within eye sight of another house. haha. if I cant shoot my gun in all directions, then people are to close. lol.

amen brother, they aren't the prettiest trucks, but a stock Silverado will get the job done time and time again.

best thing to do seems to be get stuff from people that work with you, not hold stuff from you. plenty of other people out there that want you to be informed and educated. customer service is important. I'm so tired of hearing crap answers from companies, if they don't give me straight answers to ALL of my questions, I find someone else.

hk, welcome from WI. and feel free to start a thread and ask questions, probably the quickest way to get information you want and get us all talking. Beantown, seems we are biased towards a lot of things other than .308/7.62, which is fine as long as Hilary doesn't find out.

I think the officer had to pee. feet apart, knees together, very interesting shooting stance. haha. vape guy has better form. lol.

Wisconsin has had bad luck with manufacturing it seems. GM plant in Janesville getting shut down was a big hit on southern Wisconsin. of coarse being so close to Illinois is the real problem I think. :P

wash, if you needed 1000 rounds than you aren't a very good shot, you should be able to hit your neighbor with the first round.

RRS, I think glocks will be a contender for a long time to come. but I don't think they are unique anymore with the things that set them apart, plenty new models of pistols from different companies that may seem like copies (I could care less), but offer similar performance in some or all the areas that you pointed out for the benefits that the glocks. striker fires like glocks are no longer ground breaking. reliability, safety, ease of maintenance, and reasonable price seem to be the standard with them these days, not just the glock exception. sure glocks might be a little cheaper, but not by much, and with companies like h&k, beretta, and sig jumping into the striker fire game at reasonable prices considering their history of more expensive pistols out of the price range of some (maybe not so much with beretta). Whole agencies have already switched over to the sig p320 already, and my agencies is entertaining the idea (hope they do switch). So in my opinion, if glock stays on top, it may be to save a penny here and there. but more likely it will just be the reluctance of change, same as the military has been reluctant to get away from .223 even though we all know there are better rounds out there. glocks I believe will last a life time more and have their nitch even if they get replaced in militaries and law enforcement. they are good guns, no doubt; especially for the price. just like the 1911 will never go away as long as there are pistols to shoot. I love 1911s and single action pistols in general. a good SA with a thumb safety is as quick as any striker fire and safer even carrying locked and cocked like they are meant to. and the triggers are to die for, nothing compares. as for reliability, depends on the 1911. some 1911's have stiff springs and require high powered ammo; others the builders just messed with the original design to much and have had problems with them, this is this is the reason most of the 2011s aren't that reliable. but a decent 1911 can be just as reliable as any pistol out there if you ask me and just as easy to clean and maintain as a glock. then again I don't go around throwing my pistols in mud or anything like that, though I have fired in the rain a fair bit or in sandy environments. the sig p320 has 2 thumbs up from me however. I would love to see this replace the glock. feels more comfortable, smooth crisp trigger with a very short reset. the trigger in my opinion is better than h&k's vp9/vp40 and any other striker fire I have shot so far. price is very very good, especially considering it is a sig. I think if you were to do a blind test, just putting a glock and p320 in the hands of the testers and letting them dry fire (don't want people shooting real rounds while they can't see :P), the majority would pick the p320 as the better gun. although like has been going on, there will always be those that just love glocks and nothing wrong with that.

anyone know anything about the beretta apx? I haven't gotten to play with it. one of my pistols is the beretta px4 storm though and I would of sold it a long time ago if my wife didn't want it for herself. I think beretta dropped the ball on that one so hopefully they have redeemed themselves with the apx.

exactly, if it doesn't feel good then you wont shoot it as well as you would something that feels like a part of your hand.

I carry a glock at work... hate the damn thing. it's like shooting a brick. it's uncomfortable and the angle of the grip doesn't feel right to me. yes RRS you have some good points why glocks are good, but comfort helps with shooting well. I have to use hundreds of rounds a month to stay proficient with my glock, but give me my cz, 1911, sig, or h&k and I need no warm up even after months of not shooting them. and as for run reliably under all conditions, well I have seen many malfunctions with them, some being slack wrist, but others were just wtf moments. even something as simple as the slide not locking back when it should. easy to maintain... well my other pistols I think are just as easy to maintain. parts are not hard to find these days for most of the big companies either. and many other guns come at reasonable prices that is not that far off from glocks, even h&k vp40 or sig p320. the thing about glocks is you either hate them or you love them, so far a lot more people I know hate them and most of the others would just simply rather carry something else.

omg, that was the best thing I have seen in a long long time.

lol. I hear you Beantown, my agency issued me an old m16 that came from the army. pretty sure they were just trying to get rid of them so they didn't have to store them. lol. carrying handle and all. the thing is accurate, but cant even decently mount a scope because the carrying handle is apart of the upper receiver. lol. we are all praying that we get something decent some day. some of the regular handguards look kinda cool, but I think most of us would agree performance is better than cool (although most free floating handguards look cooler). so I would much rather have a handguard not putting anymore pressure on my barrel.
