    Hard Chrome Or Tuned Mags?

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    North,

    I shoot with you up in alamo L2683.

    Just get the edge with the reliability package...It's worth it... Buy as many mags as you can get. they'll run just fine...As funds become available, upgrade to better basepads, followers, etc.

    Get the gun hardchromed later when its broken in.

    C-more Broken

    I just got mine back. It had cracked at the set screw area....

    Now i know why i hit all of those no-shoots the last match i shot it.

    C-more fixed it for free...Send it in. I hadn't over or under tightened mine. But one of the mounting screws was loose on the scope mount. Apparently enough movement to fracture the base.

    Post on another forum i frequent, though i seem to post less and less...

    Text here.. :wacko:

    One of the problems I've seen in modern urban society is an utter lack of understanding regarding justifed use of force and escalating use of force. I've been in and around LE for so long it's second nature to me, so it shocks me when I hear strange stuff like your thinking, which could get you put in prison for say, 7 years for manslaughter becuase of being too lazy to learn the use of force laws and carry a 2oz canister of OC. If you shoot someone who smashes you in the face at a party, and he ends up being both dead and un-armed, you go away, effectively ending your life as you know it. You are a potential poster child for the anti-gun lobby. Get some training.

    Modern Police OC Sprays (Fox Labs being the best, IMO) are wickedly incapacitating and work darn well against just about everyone. Best choice for most non-cops in the cone-style spray, vs the stream (due to the precision needed to use the stream vs cone). Don't risk your safety (or your significant others) by using a cheap hang-card OC spray. Fox Rox!

    I carry both OC and a deadly weapon with me all the time. That gives me the tools needed for most violent encounters (I also have a Taser in the car, which in CA requires the same justification for use as OC, which isn't much!). My first choice in public is to hose them down with OC, then go to Taser or deadly force only if nessisary to get away (or effect an arrest, if that's my plan). If the bad guy goes for a club, knife of gun after being hit by OC, I can assure you his combative skills will be considerably reduced. I've hosed down probably 6 people in the last 20 years. It took the fight out of every last one of them, including two who had knives in their pockets but chose not to deploy them, for whatever reason (maybe it's becuase they couldn't see or breath and knew they'd get their asses kicked!). Half were drunk, the other half were on cocaine or meth (go figure).

    That being said, I've also drawn down on three people committing violent felonies over that same period of time as a civilian ( 2 with clubs, 1 insinuating he had a gun in his waistband). By saying the right thing at the right time, while pointing a gun at them, I didn't need to shoot anybody to get them to end their attacks (but I would have!).

    Remember, just becuase you carry a gun, doesn't mean you are a cop, either in training, skills, knowledge or presumed justification of the use of force. Might want to talk to some cops or shooting range vets you know to get the skinny on use of force laws in your State.

    Tripp Mags

    in Gear & Accessories

    Posted

    My Tripp mags for my 45's work great.

    My Tripp mags for my STI trojan in .40 have been hit or miss. I have about 12 of the 9 rounders...I've had to work on all of them to work with the slide stop, they would typically hold up with a round left in the mag. Some nose dive, some don't. I recently had them tuned as well with newer springs and such, but still have problems.

    I still have nose dive problems as well. I recently ordered some Chips in 10 mm as well and they work fine in the trojan and do hold the round up higher.

    Some people just don't get it and never will. Ban him before he does something really dangerous, (as if he hasn't already).

    Otherwise your next story will not be a good one.

    We've got a few like that, some i've had talks with and told them in no uncertain terms that their behavior will change or they are not welcome back. Sweeping people, multiple finger violations, changing guns out while in the bay with shooters in front of you is not a safe environment and will make others less likely to come out.

    AT the Limited Nats we had 3 shooters in my squad that were using the P Delta ammo...

    One had 165.07

    The other two ended up at 166 and 166.5..

    They all ended up shooting all nine BB's with the highest 3 going for the average...
