    The operator needs replacement.

    Will this upper work with glock mags?

    Ok... here are pictures of the PSA 9mm upper/bolt/lower that I have. It currently shoots Colt pattern mags no problem with a mag well insert also from PSA. I held the bolt up to a standard factory Glock G17 mag- the bottom of the bolt will not fit between the feed lips. The lower...

    Public toilets?

    Am I the only one that thought about finding a replica Breitling to return? ;) I'm kidding- 99% of the time I've completely honest. The other 1% of the time I keep the wrong change because the idiot behind the counter can't count metal money.

    Will this upper work with glock mags?

    I have that upper with a 9" rail. I've shot it with Colt pattern mags no problem. I don't have a Glock lower receiver in hand yet, but have one paid for- just gotta pick it up. I thought the ramped bolt had to do with the profile at the rear of the bolt where it rides over the hammer? I...

    Man buys gun, uses it hours later

    I'm sure it's close enough for the guy that wrote that article. Possibly same guy that decided to use a picture of a S&W .357 at the top of the page.

    Man buys gun, uses it hours later

    I think he meant to say "when the burglar suddenly jumped out of his seat"... I'm trying to imagine the 911 dispatcher's reaction to hearing a gunshot on the other end of the line.

    Suppressor Pouches

    While they are available at the clearance price, it's probably worth the price plus shipping. I don't think you will find a better pouch for the money. I would love to see something heat resistant, but I would expect that to be an order of magnitude more expensive just because of the material...

    DUKE RESEARCHER: OWNING A CAR ’80 PERCENT’ RISKIER THAN OWNING A GUN

    I'm sure it goes without saying, but I know a lot more people that have been in auto accidents than people who have been in gun accidents. And furthermore, we can remove the word "accidents"... I know a lot more people that have been hurt by vehicles than people who have been hurt by guns...

    RMR/GLOCK... Yes or No?

    Never shot an RMR, but I did try out a guy's G17 with a Docter optic on it... really neat. It's big compared to standard sites, but clears a can no problem and aiming with a red dot is seriously cheating. Really fast acquisition and way easier than lining up a post/notch sight.

    Suppressor Pouches

    Nomex would be ideal for sure- I wouldn't pull a scorching hot can off and put it in these nylon pouches. It would definitely not be good for the nylon. I didn't know anyone sold them separate from the cans. Will look into that one-

    Suppressor Pouches

    I agree- I've got no problem with some honest wear. The side of that Octane 45 already earned a little... However I didn't like carrying them to the range in cardboard boxes... just me, but I wanted something a little more long lasting than a box- the .22 box is already kind of falling apart.

    Suppressor Pouches

    Some of the cans I've bought only come in a plastic bag and a cardboard box. I've been looking for pouches to put them in so I can stop taking them to the range in a cardboard box... Enter PSA's current clearance deal- Blackhawk "single-up pop flare nylon pouches"... Definitely priced right at...

    Tactical Smoke pole

    It's probably already subsonic... you could be onto something there.

    Tactical Smoke pole

    Heck, I like it. Just remember to add a few inches to the ram rod if you don't shorten the barrel- Oh yeah- and work out a way to start the bullet in the barrel. And make a longer powder funnel :)

    Public toilets?

    Oh. Damn. So anyone that owns a push mower and a gas can falls into that category. I suppose if they wanted me gone, it would be pretty easy.

    Public toilets?

    Hey now- I don't have any bomb making materials.

    Public toilets?

    Used to have to keep doors locked so burglars couldn't get in. Now you have to keep them locked to keep out burglars and the police. There's nobody left on my side, is there?
