Exactly! But those bitches look so good on that gun, brother... Haha! I was in there tonight, right after work, too. I didn't take the Desert Warrior to work with me, so no pic today. I'll take it in there tomorrow and get the pic... I swear by them. I have a couple of their holsters, and they're fucking GREAT holsters...

Fucker...

I got rid of the second wife two years ago. The first one in 1997 for practical purposes, 1999 for real. I'm safe on that. People ask what my marital status is, and I say "Very Happily Divorced!" I ain't afraid of the holster, or what it might cost. I'm afraid of liking it, alot - and how many of the other 1911s might need one of them... THAT is the scary part!...

I'll be in there tomorrow or Saturday, so I'll take the Desert Warrior with me and park it in that holster. That's only gonna spell bad news for me, if I do that for you fuckers, though... "Just to get a pic" right?... I'm gonna suffer for this, I can see this bruise on my horizon right now...

DAMN!!! That is artwork!!! There's a local leather guy that showed up here recently- he's from somewhere else, but moved his snow-bird ass here... and got in with my Gun Pusher. He's got a 5" 1911 holster in the shop as a "demo" with a SWEET Punisher skull on it... that would fit my Desert Warrrior but PROPER... I'm jonesin' on that damn holster, trying to resist... Gawd Damn! Those are some nice 1911s, brother!!!

Well done, my man...

That barrel SUCKED!!! As soon as you changed that barrel out with a good one, you had a real gun again, brother!...

^^^ That's fucked up...

ATF sent that to ONE INDIVIDUAL THAT SENT THEM A STUPID LETTER. This has never been talked about, from ATF, since. The Gun-Web has blown this out of proportion, big time... They more they talk about it - the more attention it draws. So, my posts should be deleted now?... They'll self-destruct 5 seconds after y'all read them...

^^^ HOLY SHEIIIITTTT!!! How many slings did you GET?! Well done, @beachmaster

I'm in that boat right now, too, and it's pissing me off, brother.

No link to news, zero reference... Here's the deal on Colt - they, THEY, state their stopping .civ longs guns so "they can refocus on capturing the military market" again. Whatever. Won't happen. Do as you will though, Colt, and think that will "refocus" your efforts to get-again the military contracts that you lost by your own fault... Colt went under in 2015. Somehow, they managed to still be here. According to Colt, and their story on whey they're doing this, you have to read in to it a little. They're (according to them, but NOT directly stated), NOT doing this as a political-pressure, gun-grab, BS Dem agenda to keep guns out of .civ hands. They never stated that as a reason to stop making gun for .civs. The only thing they stated was to "re-focus on .mil contracts." Doesn't matter what they do, FN will smoke them in the M4/M4A1/M16 market, like they started doing in the M16 market about 1997-ish. Very first FN M16 I ever saw was in Korea during a 2-year tour. Shocked the fuk outta me, looking at the markings on the magwell... Here a link on the story. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/colt-halts-sales-of-long-guns-to-the-retail-market/

I thought that last year, too...

I go through it so fast it's not even funny - plus I fill empty LaRue containers during the shoots. Last year, these fools smoked me on refills - with SIX POUNDS!..., so I had to up my ante at the table a little, this time...

This breaks my heart, brother - that shiit is empty... I'll fill that thing back up for you.

That Dillo Dust container is looking sad, brother, empty as fuk sitting there, and that's just not right. Contact me. I have your refill. Hang on to the container. Last year before the Fall Shoot, I offered refills - and filled them when dudes showed up with empty-ish Dillo Dust containers. I got 6lbs of the stuff for that. Hehehe, MY mistake! Between the refills of members that showed up, and my own grilling through the year - I fuckin' RAN OUT. I made an order to keep myself alive, through the year, just to sustain me, and I already prepped for this year's Fall Shoot. I'm sitting on 13lbs of Dillo Dust right now, just to get ready for the FS this year, shiit you not. Call me, I'll send you a whole pound. You deserve that, Rene...

The letter-writer seriously fucked up when asking about folding adaptors, too. That's where the LOP BS came into it, IIRC...

That makes sense - when you have 30 people living in a 3-bedroom human trafficking house. Never thought about that part of it, man. That's why they shouldn't be allowed to partake in the US Census, too. One more thing to throw into the pile of "what they shouldn't be allowed to do in this country." Seriously. We're coming up on that one again, shortly...

You're missing the letter that some asshead sent BATFE Firearms Technology Branch, questioning a bunch of stupid shiit that he shouldn't have even sent/ask them in the first place... Several Gun Blogs went apeshiit about it, and blew it way up. Bottom line - an "individual" sent a letter, and they answered, and the response was posted online. That's the ATF position "to that individual." Period. That letter pertains to that individual - that's what we've been warned about for a decade now... "One letter to an individual doesn't mean it's okay FOR YOU to do..." Remember all that garbage? That organization has never issued any "determination Letter" talking about any of this...

This is a good one from Hannity - great show today. Hit the embedded vid. https://www.foxnews.com/media/hannity-unfortunately-some-have-forgotten-the-horror-of-9-11 And, this one is a warning to all in this country - the Jihadi-Motherfuckers didn't forget about us today, no they did not. They used today to rally more support, and new calls to attack America and Americans, whenever they can... Watch your 6. https://www.foxnews.com/world/jihadis-celebrate-9-11-anniversary-vow-to-strike-america-again-in-telegram-channels

Received this email today, from a company, remembering 9/11. I didn't realize it before reading this, but tomorrow morning, kids can enlist in any branch of the Armed Forces, as an 18-yeal old... and they weren't even born when this happened to this nation. One thing I didn't take into perspective before reading this was - what a tremendous impact 9/11 had on those that were 18~older, that were not already in a Service Branch. The inspiration, motivation that they got from watching the horrific new that morning... I was already 15 years in at that point, so there was no "choice" to be made on my part, really - how to put my guys into the duty roster for armed compound guard?... was the choices I had at the time, that day... Read this, it's pretty good. A Marine veteran and father looks back at 9/11 by Alex Hollings - NEWSREP writer For every year of my adult life, September has opened on a somber note. As a journalist that works in the National Security and Defense sphere, I’ve come to embrace the sadness this month brings with it, often channeling the lump in my throat for the sake of content — writing pieces each year that I hoped would shed a light on how 9/11 became more than a call to action for many men and women of my generation, it was very literally a defining moment. As I’ve discussed in the past, the entire course of my life changed as I watched the second plane collide with the World Trade Center in New York City — as can be said for so many of us that found ourselves on the cusp of adulthood just as our nation came under attack. As we approach September 11 each year, it can be tough not to think back to where we were, or maybe who we were back before that tragic morning… The lot of us going about our lives with a naive levity we’d never be able to recognize or appreciate until it was ripped from our grasp. I was born in 1985, so war — as far as I could tell — was something America was pretty much the undisputed champion of. I was aware of armed conflict during my childhood in far flung places like Iraq, but these conflicts seemed almost trivial to me as a kid. To most Americans then (and again today) war seemed like a far-off concept that was only a concern for others. Sure, my dad had fought in a war — but that was in Vietnam and about communism. As far as I knew, both of those things weren’t on America’s threat radar anymore. The Soviet Union fell while I played with Transformers. The Persian Gulf War was such a clinic in American dominance that my family crowded around the TV at night to watch it like a video we’d just rented from Blockbuster. There, in our small New England home, war was a concept I came to understand without its most important ingredient: fear. Then came that fateful morning. I was skipping school but had every intention of getting to class before 11am (the cutoff to still be able to go to football practice). As I casually got dressed in my empty living room, watching the news updates about the first airplane crashing into the Twin Towers and assuming, as most of us did, that it was nothing more than a tragic accident, the second plane hit. In that moment, I found war’s missing ingredient. In that moment, I was afraid. I knew that this was the start of something big… I just prayed it was something America would make it out of. Years later, after getting out of the Marine Corps and enrolling in college, I found myself in a mass communications class taught by a professor that had graduated high school a year after me (that happens a lot as an older vet in school). As we started class on September 11 of that year, he asked our small group to share our experiences with the terror attacks of 9/11, to tell one another where we were and how we felt. To my surprise (in an otherwise highly engaged class) no one raised their hands. Finally, he turned to me and asked if I’d discuss my experiences. I quickly recounted my morning, and the way my stomach felt as though it was full of rocks for days after. He nodded in commiseration before posing the question to the class again. Finally, one young woman raised her hand with a simple answer: “I think most of us were just too young to remember it.” Much like the fear I didn’t know to expect when war finally reached my home, the surprise I felt when she said she couldn’t remember 9/11 didn’t make any logical sense. Of course, she was too young. The whole class was. But it was a date that had so fundamentally changed the world as I knew it, it came as a shocking realization to learn that we’re now living among adults that don’t know what the world was like before the Global War on Terror. There are men and women, living, working, voting today that have never lived a day without the looming specter of war. I grew up in a world where war was an abstract concept until a group of terrorists brought it to my home. Today’s generation of young adults grew up in a world where war was so constant, we distanced ourselves from it. The Middle East is such a complicated quagmire of wars that most choose to ignore them and go about their day. We are a nation at war, but our sons and daughters often don’t even notice. For all the bad that does, I’m grateful. I wish the country cared more about our brothers and sisters in harm’s way, and I wish our lawmakers cared more about the future of the nation than they did about the future of their careers, but nonetheless, I’m grateful. I wish these wars we’ve been waging had a clear-cut end point and that we could say we were approaching it… but despite that, I’m grateful. I wish I could know that the service of my generation of veterans helped secure a safer world for my daughter to grow up in, but even without that certainty, today, I’m grateful. I’m grateful to this nation for building a life around these wars that my daughter can enjoy without that fear I first felt in the pit of my gut on 9/11. I’m grateful that things here at home can be so mundane that some Americans choose to ignore that we’re at war. I’m grateful that America remains a beacon of discourse, debate, and passionate efforts to improve despite decades of conflict. I’m grateful that war is as distant from my daughter as it was for me at her age — despite there being so much more of it today. For all the ways I wish the last 19 years of war could have gone differently, today, I say thank you to every man and woman that volunteered to put on a uniform and take the fight to wherever Uncle Sam told you to take it. I say thank you to the law enforcement professionals that work tirelessly every day to stop another 9/11 from happening. I may wish the general public cared a little deeper about my friends in harm’s way. I may wish the American people could remember how unified we felt when we realized that all of us Americans were under attack as one nation. Hell, I wish a lot of things were different… But I’m grateful that these are the challenges of my generation, not the hardships of my daughter’s. Today, for all the violence, the strife, and the tensions, my daughter feels safe in her room, in her home, and in her country. That’s something many of us lost years ago. That’s the gift a generation of war fighters have given her. And that’s something worth being grateful for.

Amen.

Are you talking about that response to a letter that someone sent, that circulated recently?

Damn good article, brother.

Armalite AR-10 Carbine Receiver Extension Kit. If you have problems with that hardware running on your gun, it's not recoil-system problems. Buying the complete kit is the cheapest way to do that, direct from Armalite - piecing it together costs alot more. For $65, you het the H3 buffer ($40), the true 7 5/8" internal depth AR-10 Carbine extension ($40+), the EA1095 spring ($8), endplate and lock nut. It's a bargain. It's in stock as I post this- 6 kits. Get it while you can, because they run out, very routinely. https://www.armalite.com/product/ar10rekit01-6-position-receiver-extension-kit/
