  1. So I just got my GP6-C and love it! Except for one thing... The trigger is too long. My short fingers have trouble reaching the trigger for the first shot. After that, it is a great trigger. Does anyone have an idea on what I can do to change the trigger or who would do that work? Thanks
  2. Well we took the small business plunge! Check us out at www.oaklandcountycrossfit.com Discount to all USPSA members.
  3. Love mine and the Surefire app. You wont be disappointed.
  4. Well I am going to my first SS Nationals. I need a nice place to stay. Wife and kids are coming, so a pool is a must. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks
  5. I just ordered a CZ SP01 Shadow (ordered from Angus w/ spring and trigger job) and will use it in production next season. I just don't have time to reload, so what do you recommend for factory ammo? I was thinking Atlanta Arms AMU stuff. I have used AA in open before and loved it. Thanks for the advice.
  6. Hey all, I am going to the 2009 SHOT Show in Orlando. Anyone been? Do you have any advice? This is my first trip trip to the show. Thanks
  7. After doing some checking I believe you are right. I checked with the State Department of Treasury and they say no. Looks like I was one who was scammed in the past. "sales tax does not need to be paid for a transfer of goods between two private individuals." MDT
  8. As a new basement FFL holder I wish I knew all the answers also. When the ATF came out they weren't all that clear. 1) You can do face to face instate only, just be sure of your state laws and the required paperwork. 2) you can ship to an FFL direct if that state allows it. I am not sure of all the state laws but I have been told in the past that a particular state required that it come from a FFL. Not sure if it is true? 3) Fed Ex and UPS will ship firearms but they must be dropped off at the main hub. No strip mall shipping shops. Also, you must declare that it is a Firearm. About 50/50 if they check the box and ask for the receivers FFL info. They don't know all their own rules either. They must go overnight and it is costly depending on how far away it is going. 4) I will give a copy of my FFL to a Dealer only. It was to hard to get to chance someone messing with it. 5) For your protection yourself I would use a FFL on both ends, let us exchange info and you have no worries. There are far to many horror stories about things going wrong and this way you are protected. You still handle all the money and let them do the paperwork. You should pay 25.00-50.00 on your end. 6) Also, if your state has a sales tax and your seller didn't collect it your receiving FFL is supposed to, at least in Michigan. Hope this helps a little
  9. Hey all, I just got my FFL!!!!! Long process but well worth the work. I will be a non-stocking dealer and do transfers. I am looking for wholesalers that do not require a storefront. Someone who helps support the little guy. Any info you may have would be great. Thanks, Matt Martinec Orion Gun Sales oriongunsales@gmail.com USPSA Member

  12. Looking for a holster that will carry a G23 with a Light. Not a Duty Holster but something I can wear. Any suggestions?
  13. Found this on FOXNEWS.COM. The horrible tragedy at the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Neb. received a lot of attention Wednesday and Thursday. It should have. Eight people were killed, and five were wounded. A Google news search using the phrase "Omaha Mall Shooting" finds an incredible 2,794 news stories worldwide for the last day. From India and Taiwan to Britain and Austria, there are probably few people in the world who haven’t heard about this tragedy. But despite the massive news coverage, none of the media coverage, at least by 10 a.m. Thursday, mentioned this central fact: Yet another attack occurred in a gun-free zone. Surely, with all the reporters who appear at these crime scenes and seemingly interview virtually everyone there, why didn’t one simply mention the signs that ban guns from the premises? Nebraska allows people to carry permitted concealed handguns, but it allows property owners, such as the Westroads Mall, to post signs banning permit holders from legally carrying guns on their property. The same was true for the attack at the Trolley Square Mall in Utah in February (a copy of the sign at the mall can be seen here). But again the media coverage ignored this fact. Possibly the ban there was even more noteworthy because the off-duty police officer who stopped the attack fortunately violated the ban by taking his gun in with him when he went shopping. Yet even then, the officer "was at the opposite end and on a different floor of the convoluted Trolley Square complex when the shooting began. By the time he became aware of the shooting and managed to track down and confront Talovic [the killer], three minutes had elapsed." There are plenty of cases every year where permit holders stop what would have been multiple victim shootings every year, but they rarely receive any news coverage. Take a case this year in Memphis, where WBIR-TV reported a gunman started "firing a pistol beside a busy city street" and was stopped by two permit holders before anyone was harmed. When will part of the media coverage on these multiple-victim public shootings be whether guns were banned where the attack occurred? While the media has begun to cover whether teachers can have guns at school or the almost 8,000 college students across the country who protested gun-free zones on their campuses, the media haven’t started checking what are the rules where these attacks occur. Surely, the news stories carry detailed information on the weapon used (in this case, a rifle) and the number of ammunition clips (apparently, two). But if these aspects of the story are deemed important for understanding what happened, why isn’t it also important that the attack occurred where guns were banned? Isn’t it important to know why all the victims were disarmed? Few know that Dylan Klebold, one of the two Columbine killers, closely was following Colorado legislation that would have allowed citizens to carry a concealed handgun. Klebold strongly opposed the legislation and openly talked about it. No wonder, as the bill being debated would have allowed permitted guns to be carried on school property. It is quite a coincidence that he attacked the Columbine High School the very day the legislature was scheduled to vote on the bill. Despite the lack of news coverage, people are beginning to notice what research has shown for years: Multiple-victim public shootings keep occurring in places where guns already are banned. Forty states have broad right-to-carry laws, but even within these states it is the "gun-free zones," not other public places, where the attacks happen. People know the list: Virginia Tech saw 32 murdered earlier this year; the Columbine High School shooting left 13 murdered in 1999; Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, had 23 who were fatally shot by a deranged man in 1991; and a McDonald's in Southern California had 21 people shot dead by an unemployed security guard in 1984. All these attacks — indeed, all attacks involving more than a small number of people being killed — happened in gun-free zones. In recent years, similar attacks have occurred across the world, including in Australia, France, Germany and Britain. Do all these countries lack enough gun-control laws? Hardly. The reverse is more accurate. The law-abiding, not criminals, are obeying the rules. Disarming the victims simply means that the killers have less to fear. As Wednesday's attack demonstrated yet again, police are important, but they almost always arrive at the crime scene after the crime has occurred. The longer it takes for someone to arrive on the scene with a gun, the more people who will be harmed by such an attack. Most people understand that guns deter criminals. If a killer were stalking your family, would you feel safer putting a sign out front announcing, "This Home Is a Gun-Free Zone"? But that is what the Westroads Mall did.

  15. Congrats brother!!!! I think there is a small problem though... You meant to say he loves the University of Michigan, Detroit Lions and USPSA. Small error I'm sure you can correct with some re-education. He is a blessing and I wish your family health and happiness. Children are a blessing, sleep when you can. I feel your joy, I have three angles, well some days devils.
  16. FP10 has worked great for me. Never a problem and more then one big name gunsmith has recommended it.
  17. I bought a SPS 170 w/ Grams parts at the Open Nationals this year. It has worked fine with no problems. Thinking of investing in some 140's. What is your opinion? Likes or dislikes. Thanks, Matt
