Re: The Glock Store

I've built a few. You generally need a lighter spring with compensated/ported barrels, as physics prevails and energy is directed to counter muzzle flip, thus reducing rearward recoil energy and causing hang-ups.

Re: Red Flag gets "red flagged???"

It's a terrible law. Less than a year after it was enacted, my kid was DM'ing a girl he liked late at night and told her he dreamed that her actual boyfriend was a school shooter and he took him out. The little st*t sent a copy of the DM to her boyfriend and friend who was the daughter of the school...

Re: Howdy from Albuquerque!

Took a NM trip way back in 2006 with the fam. Spent a couple days in Albuquerque and did a hot air balloon ride as well as the cable car up Sandia. The best thing there was a little winery that we stumbled into and had some St. Claire wine that I thought was delicious. Wound up setting up shipments ...

Re: Soap

Dove bar soap. Hate body wash. I even pack a bar for the hotels that give you shampoo, conditioner and body wash.

Re: 80% receiver update

Ah, I see... was this a metal AR receiver that you engraved? I'm guessing not a polymer 80% frame. The owner should have known about the new rule. It wasn't much of a secret, eh? :-) I’ve seen custom stipple and contour jobs on Poly80 frames, maybe Ben at Boresight, I can’t remember. But that defin...

Re: I think I pissed off Fred Guttenberg

MiamiJBT- I was using 2 million as a round number. It's 2,596,140 Florida concealed firearm licenses. 216,481 of them are out of state. So, to correct myself, there are 2,379,659 license holders in Florida. It's a lot of voters. It's funny, I never paid attention to these numbers but they are what ...

Everytime I hear universal background checks, it can never be enforced without a national mandatory registration which will result in a lot more firearms to go underground.

Re: Springfield Armory Prodigy 1911

Hey Adam, if you ever get to try one out, let me know. I was thinking of a Staccato but when I heard about the gun, I was thinking maybe for a grand or so less, it might be worth a shot. It does look nice but something about the slide serations seem a little less "finished" but I like the ...
