I don't think we're talking about the same thing, although we're both using the term "dominant eye". For some people one eye is simply not capable of being the "primary" eye (perhaps a better term). This is most likely do to a physical condition of some kind, like the muscles that control focus fatiguing easily, the presence of scotoma or the like. This isn't what I've been describing though. What I've been describing the condition where both eyes are physically capable of being the primary eye, but that the mind simply prefers one as the primary eye to handle the problem of paralax in our binocular vision. I've heard the terms strong and weak dominance thrown around - perhaps those are terms designed to specify the reason for the underlying dominance, I'm not sure. That is exactly how I was using the term. Brain dominance, brain preference, a rose by any other name.... my brain refuses to let me use the left eye alone for sighting. That's what most people call eye dominance.

It varies for each individual. Some people (like me) are strongly eye dominant and others not so strong. When I had problems with my right eye a while back, I tried to "cross train" to sighting with my left (non dom) eye and it was impossible. No matter how long I worked on it, I could not do it. My eye would actually start "twitching" focus and I could never get that eye to use as sighting by itself. Eventually, my right eye healed up so I can use it as before. The experience made me eventually transition to dominant (right eye) sighting with both eyes open and dom eye focused on target. But I never was able to sight with left eye only.

The official spokesman informed the families today with a public statement that the plane went down and there are no survivors. They said it is based on "further analysis of satellite data" which I interpret to mean covert intel sources have fed them more of the info they have that they don't want to reveal outright because it will compromise monitoring systems they don't want to acknowledge exist. I would wager the plane's location will be revealed within the next week. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/25/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-flight-370.html

Not bashing anyone for their choice, just proving their point about the FLGR being easier to take apart is wrong and stating that there is no RELIABILITY reason to change over.Nobody here ever said the FLGR makes it more reliable. But if you have the one with a takedown hole, I absolutely guarantee it makes disassembly and reassembly easier. have been using it for 25 years and would never go back. This videeo shows how the FLGR with take down hole captures the spring: I would note, it's much easier to insert the paper clip tool before removing the slide from the receiver. That way you use the slide to compress the spring. Then take the slide off. Doing things the easy way makes life more fun.

Simple: you use the slide to compress the recoil spring, put the pin in the hole and the rod.spring/reverse bushing come off as a captive assembly. never have to fight a recoil spring again, never have to release the spring. If you have old hands and are fighting a .40 1911 with an 18 - 20# spring, the benefits are a gift from heaven.

The shooting of a trigger in the range of maybe 5 - 7 pounds is really not much difference, but what makes a difference is how smoothly it pulls and how clean the break is. A smooth trigger that has been tricked out by a good smith will always feel lighter than it is and a gritty trigger with creep always feels heavier than it is. The 686 I shot for a lot of years had a 5.5# DA pull but was so smooth you couldn't believe it. It always felt very light to me. The 66 that I shoot now is more like 7 - 7.5# because it has to fire crappy ammo but the difference in pull weight is not really noticable.

I agree it landed undetected.... going about 500 mph straight into the ocean. Are you saying you believe they could have landed at night over land with no runway and survived that?

+1 Worse, there are wayyyy too many bozos who have long standing pet paranoias they want to dust off and trot out ie, an alien ship beamed them up, the government used a new directed energy weapon, yadda yadda yadda. I just hope they find the remains soon so they will all shut up and go back to their part time job of making tinfoil hats.

I still have about 5k rounds of remington .22 where about 25% of the rounds have no primers. Just click and nothing. Re strike them a dozen times, nothing. Our whole shooting club bought it when it was on sale and we all got the same crap. This was bought about ten years ago.

although incredible...there's now a boeing poseidon criss crossing along many borders,yet they seems to be unable to even get a clear idea as where that damned jetliner is The Indian ocean there is THREE MILES deep. Nothing can see that far down. As many analysts pointed out: there are a lot of insane belligerents there (like India and Pakistan) and the idea that a large aircraft would simply fly off course for four hours and nobody would pay any attention is absurd. Those countries are even more primed against terror attacks than we are, for good reason. The idea that it just flew somewhere and landed without being detected is not realistic IMHO.

although incredible...there's now a boeing poseidon criss crossing along many borders,yet they seems to be unable to even get a clear idea as where that damned jetliner is,and it's now pretty clear it been hijacked by al-quaida's newly recruited pilots of that flight. Not unless the co pilot is the new Al Qaeda pilot. It's been confirmed that the co pilots voice gave a routine good night sign off over the air to ground control after the aircraft had executed a pre programmed steep left turn. I agree the plane was hijacked off course, but it looks like the pilot(s) did it.

Theoretically possible, but astronomically unlikely. I just watched the news: they know the west-southwest turn was executed via input to the nav computer and there was verbal communication afterwards with zero stress heard. That plane was full of people with cel phones, if it has not gone down, I think we would have heard something. I still think the pilot's personality profile looks like an odd duck and the hijacking coincides with the day that one of their political figures was jailed. read this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2581817/Doomed-airliner-pilot-political-fanatic-Hours-taking-control-flight-MH370-attended-trial-jailed-opposition-leader-sodomite.html 'Democracy is dead': 'Fanatical' missing airliner pilot pictured wearing political slogan T-shirt Investigators speak of his 'obsessive' support for opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim Police officers fear Ibrahim being jailed could have left Shah profoundly upset

But it has a glaring flaw: "There was most likely a fire or electrical fire. In the case of fire the first response if to pull all the main busses and restore circuits one by one until you have isolated the bad one. If they pulled the busses the plane indeed would go silent. It was probably a serious event and they simply were occupied with controlling the plane and trying to fight the fire. Aviate, Navigate and lastly communicate. " That has already been ruled out: location transmitter and data transmitter were turned off separately about 6 minutes apart.

IMHO, the problem is that the gov knows exactly where the plane is, knows the people are dead (it's in the ocean). Problem is, they don't want to compromise the classified sources they have that generate the info. I suspect they will send ships into the area and let them "find" the plane to prevent disclosures.

The latest I heard was that they know the plane executed course changes that were pre programmed into the flight computer so it had to be the pilot. Looks like the pilot set that course and switched off the transponders to make sure they couldn't track it. He did not know that the plane kept pinging after the transmitters were turned off, so it appears his plan was to not be tracked. As to whether he planned a remote landing at some abandoned field? Don't know but sounds next to impossible for a night flight to land on visual. Hard to say what he was thinking, my wife speculated that maybe he wanted to be famous and go down in history as the one that disappeared and was never found.

Here is springfields: http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php

12# is perfect in my Trojan (5" slide) using standard 115 grain factory 9mm FMJ ammo. I don't reload. Wolff springs say that Colt's factory sprig for 9mm is 14#, that seems a shade high. http://www.gunsprings.com/Semi-Auto%20Pistols/COLT/1911%20GOV%27T%20PISTOL/cID1/mID1/dID1

Para Ord makes them or they used to. I don't recommend them, but they do make them. Kimber also makes them, though they used to only tool up the .40 line about once a year so wait time may be long. I think Colt and SA also make them.

With the type of sat coverage that we and many other countries have, I doubt that it could have landed without somebody knowing about it. Also: the automatic transmitters would have still been pinging the satellites. The only way that stops is if the plane loses total electrical power or goes under water which would block the signals. I think highest probability is the plane is in the sea and I suspect that they already know that.

That was acknowledged today. The transponders were switched off manually and the plane pinged satellites for 3 - 4 hours longer. Either a hijacker with extreme knowledge of aircraft systems or the pilot did that. Hijacking is possible, pilot suicide probably higher probability. The senior pilot has some major flags on him as a profile: seems to have no life outside of flying, has a home built 777 simulator and hangs around forums with other flight simulator fanatics. No mention of wife or family or other interests or any kind of a real life beyond his job. Age of 53 so his pilot career is ending pretty soon. Obviously not proof, but does lean towards the profile.

Mine came with a 12. When was it purchased? I asked STI this question a week ago, and they told me its 10lbs.Bought mine about 1995.

Mine came with a 12.

Obviously, they got tired of the phone calls........

Frome an STI rep: " Pretty much says it all. Dillon is moving on to other projects and we're continuing to do what we do. RedDog, while we do own some land in Jarrell, it's not a sure thing that we're moving there. We DO need a bigger facility but the move (to wherever we end up going) is still a few years off..." __________________ STI International, Inc Feedback@STIguns.com Like Us On Facebook!

Now that you mention it: I had to take some metal off the underside of my ejector in my 9mm Trojan back when it was new because the corner of the mag bumped into it.
