some people have paws, rather than slender fingers and palms. Men that have done a lot of work with their hands over years, tend toward the paw version. Thick meaty fingers, not necessarily any bigger. I find JM grips too small for the area that supports my third finger. I also find that this finger is critical for a grip that steadies gun during the DA stroke. I notice during dryfiring that JM grips give me a wobble. Bill Jordon had huge hands that were also paw like. When grips are right moderate pressure from both hands will secure gun so that front sight doesn't wobble through the DA stroke. I'm still working on my Hogue blanks, Left them big and I just keep taking a little of areas don't fit right.

If you took every part off that wasn't plastic it would go through, but then you wouldn't have a gun just a hunk of plastic. But somewhere they did a security check on people running the scanners. They disassembled the barrel, slide and frame and inspector did not catch it. Even though the barrel and slide were very obvious.

As a Florida Hurricaner, I bought a 10KW, 8.5KW constant unit. It ran everything I needed including my geothermal heat pump. Problem keeping it in fuel!!!!!! With large motor at a constant speed unit it eats fuel regardless of the load. With light load I got 7 hours per tank with heavy load 5 hours per tank. Tank was 5 gallon. Here is the problem, who wants to pour gas into tank over a hot engine at night or in the rain. They are tough to start when hot, so electric start is necessary. So I bought a 12 gallon boat tank and quick disconnect hose that about 8 feet long. Now I can get full night sleep without a refill, plus I can pump from my 50 drum into without fear of blowing up. Noise, you don't want it near the house, mine is about 400 feet away and thats ok. I just wired it into my welder outlet, it backfeeds the whole house. Just remember to keep main turn off. The other problem is that these engines run at 3400 rpm and they want there oil change every 24 hours of run time. Plus they want non-detergent oil, so make sure you got cases of oil stocked also. Plus the units have only modest cooling for themselves so to keep my oil temps down I have to keep a box fan running on the oil cooler. So what are my secondary plans. Get a small inverter honda or yamaha that I can use camping, because they are inverter there are much better on gas, quiet, and light. For heat I've got a Kerosene portable heater that I light outside let get hot them bring in without any fume smell, same when you turn it off take it out side. Plus a few spare propane tanks to cook with. So with my Satellite I did OK, just hunting for gas became next problem. Neighbors came over to take baths as I was only one who had enough juice to run a well. So I laid out a couple hundred feet of garden hose in sun and they came over in their bathing suits and had there baths in my front yard. Plus filled up drinking water jugs. Everybody was cooking all their frozen foods because the most weren't setup in time to keep thee freezers going. So that's what I learned, with three outages that lasted over 21 days.

This is like the ultimate Jerry Springer show. The part that makes me sad is that this kind of show is so popular.

So I finally asked Teresa for a date, we've emailed a couple of times. Her answer was "You funny" !!!!!!! But if you don't buy a ticket you can't win. Actually I'd say she is less of a snob then many that have far less to brag about. But if I had got a date with her, I would had to have some pictures to save. Kinda like Bruce & Rourke in Sin City.

Good article, matches well with what I've read in SOF and Michael Yon. Now will see if the Dem's pay any attention to advice of those involved or are just more interested in seeing their faces on the news. Politicians are undoubtably our most dangerous enemy to the Union.

Pimping would mean I'm getting something out of it, like money or a sample of the goods. So far I failed at both. I'd rather have a sample!

I really like Caspian Quality, and the fit in my hand, but if I can't get mags for it what good is it. The plastic frame wide bodies are OK but I much prefer the metal frames. A Caspain slide/frame/mags is excellent starting place to build both open and limited guns.

Got to be something wrong, she's had ad in match.com for months. If you read her profile you get a hint. Actually there a quite a few very hot over 40 ads. For some reason I can't seem to get a date with one, humm...... Some are very obvious, want income of over $150,000.00. Who says money can't buy you love!!!! Here is another one, looking for mister goodbar! She's also in her 40's

43 years old, Title is "Do you know your way around a 7mm .08? Likes to hunt, owns her own guns and bow. Doesn't like fat wimpy men! Match.com in Ocala Florida

Well lets summarize: A PC 625-8 does have a special barrel and cylinder. A true 45ACP cylinder. Thus less freebore which would seem to be accuracy factor plus weight reduction. The standard 625-8 uses the 45LC cylinder. So correct way to do would be to cut the new TI cylinder but I don't know any good place to get that kind of work done. So I'm going to sell the TI cylinder for what I paid. Count myself lucky that this mistake only cost me time! Several people have PM and emailed me. So I'll check the time date on emails and I guess the only fair way is to offer it to first person. This is best damn place to get info. S&W seems clueless!

ARGH!!!!! Anybody want to buy new TI cylinder?????

Well I called S&W and that's the right part nos. But that 1/8 inch longer cylinder makes the job bigger. So if I shorten the barrel I have to recut the forcing cone also. Agh I thought this was going to be an easy job. Maybe the PC 625-8 is odd ball gun?

Yep moon clip will drop right in. Maybe somebody put the wrong part in the right bag?

That's the one they sent me and it is too long The orginal is 1.430 the new one is 1.556. So I would have to cut the barrel back. I guess I could ask Randy Lee.

Makes you wonder, you tell them you need a TI cylinder for a 625-8 and they send you one too long for a 325 AGH!!! So if anybody has part nos let me know thanks.

I've seen one, and it kept throwing its breach face during the match. Don't know the cause just caught my eye because I was RO'ing and notice two things ejecting from gun then a click and I stopped the shooter.

A little recap. For IPSC a 16 mid-length is great barrel for tactical out to 300 yards. However it is not good length or barrel for Iron sights guns because of the short sight radius. Unless you mount your sight forward of the gas port. Heavy barrels are not an advantage to IPSC because they transition slower than light barrels. All quality barrels regardless of weight or length are accurate enough for IPSC. Reliability is most important factory which makes the mid-length on 16/18 good and 20/22 barrels are fine with full length gas system. Full length free float handguards are good idea on all barrel lengths in that it gives you more choice of how to shoot around obstacles and protects the gas system. So if you want to shoot limited iron sights one stepup is to use the Palma type globe sites mounted on the extreme ends. However they are fragile.

Good Laugh!!!

It is amazing what some groups will come up with as safe when left alone too long. I went to carbine club match at public range once. It had a typical covered shooting lane. Everybody had there guns on table facing downrange. Except that they were all playing with there ammo, putting loaded mags in the gun. The whole time some poor fool is out front of them running a course of fire. I went back to my car watch for awhile. Half expecting somebody to get shot. Finally I just left.

No comment on which is better. Only that out of the box accuracy of a AR10 is very good.

your right about accuracy, best I could get my M14match to do with federal was about 2moa. The worst AR I ever fired would beat that without trying. My AR 10 is different story.

IMHO a 18 barrel works better with mid-length gas system. Why 18? It is really not an IPSC thing but a terminal velocity thing. The small light bullets don't work well unless they hit at 2300FPS or better. That way they break up and tumble. So 16's were not performing at longer distance on the target, just poke littles and went straight through. The subject sometimes went down but recoverd later, a bad idea. So 18 barrel got you a few hundred more feet per second, which translated to better performance further out. Gun balance and barrel weight are areas that have gone through some changes. For IPSC we like a light barrel that is fast. Heavy barrels are not more accurate, a barrel doesn't know how heavy he is. Now heavy barrel may change its zero less because it takes longer to heat up. But you can't depend on this, I have light and heavy that both act the same. If your really into accuracy, then put the tubbs tuner comp on your gun and tune your ammo and barrel together. It put the nodal point at the muzzle of barrel. Also adjust your round length so it seats just off the rifling. Also select your chamber shape based on bullets you want to shoot. All this stuff will get you maybe 3/4" in better group at 100 yards, will gain more at distance goes out to 400yards. Is it worth it,, you decide. I gone through a couple of variations, standard 16/20's. Mid-gas 16/18". What I discover for me is that a compass lake barrel, with frank whites chamber for 70 grain or less are wonderful. I've had him make heavy and light barrels for me. Only takes about 3/4 weeks and cost is about $325/350 for stainless Douglas blanks. Same blanks the Military is using for there marksmen AR rifles. 1/8 twist. ITs the shooter most of time any quality 20 inch AR in right hands will win IPSC matchs. Now if we are talking sniper type work the equipment will make a big difference in scores.

Shooting out past 100 yards take some practice and setup. A 2.5 will work at 300 but I like 4 power better for that distance. But as somebody said Iron works too. First thing you need to know is the drop at that range on your loads. Lots of fancy ways to find out, but an easy way is get a bench and some targets and lots of rounds and spend the afternoon at range. A spotting scope and partner speeds things up alot. especially the spotting scope. Mount your new scope. bore sight it with whatever method you like. Start at 25 yards and get on paper then start moving back. If I had to hit 300 regularly I would zero at 200. Then either know how much up you'll be at 100 and 50 yards and how far down at 250 and 300. In IPSC I don't feel you have time to adjust clicks on scope during the run. So just dope the drop on reticle. However I would know my clicks for 100, 200 yard zero's. Cheat write them on piece of paper and stick that on your range bag. I always forget. Now just practice, everything needs to be better at longer ranges, trigger release, hold, follow through etc.

I'm waiting for my Reamer to come in from Brownells for my new Nowlin barrel, I bought the special reamer for the Nowlin barrel. What is best procedure for finishing the shallow chamber. please don't say put it in your lathe cause I ain't got one. Do have good drill press. As comments appreciated Thanks
