Ok, I 'get' gunwalker, but WTF

Yes, this is old new news, but why did it occur to anyone to even think about doing it? The gunwalker prototype Linebacker was a clusterfarq and actually stopped by the Bush justice department once it was discovered.  So someone wants to, under the radar, whip up some good old fashioned support for gun control. Maybe among newly favored voting blocks, or just as a reason for amnesty-too dangerous for illegals to go back home. Or as ammo to back up the stupid news stories of the 90% lie on Mexican guns. Or sending weapons to another nation to back a 'winnar' in the drug war, but without actually telling said country you are arming the men killing their soldiers, police and citizens(Srsly, but I digress). So we have reasons. Now what?

 'They' er 'someone' ok straw buyers buying loads of guns and throwing them over the boarder. Yay, evil gunstores and gunshow boogiemen, not calculated plans to allow it, we can hide that. And then just flat out giving away NFA guns/ guns outlawed by the '86 firearms owners wrongs rights act. That could be twisted to blame LE distributors backdooring the guns. Great. Got it so far. Still blames Americans and gun owners and sellers. We be evil and all that. Where in the hell do you get 'nades in the mix? Is it part of adding the "E" to BATF? I've got nothing there. New low</sarc>. Makes Iran-Contra look like a cigar holder. Projection? "Bush is a moron, so we have to prove we are beneath him?"

One of these things is (not) like the others?

No comment. Wait, the Imadinnerjacket photo is not sized correctly. Yeah, that's it. Could they have not found a Mittens Obamney photo too?

Get some....

Very disappointed to find out it was just a jeweler. Had to settle for BBQ instead. Great brisket!

I had a post, but the dog ate it...

Actually, I pulled my head out of my..... Well, anyway, I had a good range trip last week with my el cheapo High Standard 1911. 220 rounds out of it. Problems with the same "Kim" mag, so it is in the crap pile. The "Sig" mag's baseplate shattered. Again, crap. Wilson mags- great. the ACT mag that came with the HS- great. The worn Taurus mags- no slidelock when empty. Need springs, very soft compared to the other mags. 50 hollowpoints fed great.

Why did both the PT1911 and the HS have the same POS sear spring? They must get the springs from the same supplier. Both now have Wilson springs, because they were in stock at the time.

Yay, that worked

At least the PT1911 worked fine with new springs. I never fired the darn thing before I replaced them all with Wilson and/or Ed Brown springs. Not like it was new or anything.

What is missing here?

Dirty much? Only 200 rounds.

WWB will do that.

Nice shooting. Shoots better that I do. When I rested my support hand on a bench, it was dead on and 4" low. 2 fail to feeds, both on a new Kimber mag 1000133, with RA45T. The first was the final round in the mag. The next was the first round, and a rack tap fed it with no problems. I noticed the Wilson 47D mag tilting the bottom round with 7 in, so I started tapping each mag as I loaded the last round with no other problems (other than shooting low.) Didn't tap before that, and the RA45T came in after 5 mags of WWB. I ran a total of 200 rounds today. 50 Magtech, 50 RA45T and 100 WWB.

Other guns, not so good. My new to me Springer 9mm, guessing 85-88 production, shoots left unless it shoots dead on. From the bench. Foot left. Loose as hell, knew it when I bought it. But it fed hollow points all day through its nasty looking mags. Even ate up +P Ranger. I'm guessing dropping it in the mud would have helped the accuracy. The 9mm barrel for the M&P 40 extracted funny once, but I wasn't there to proof that gun, so I left it alone. Felt like shooting a pop gun with the 9mm. Loved the PF9. Only fed it hollow points. It liked them.

I'm ready to say screw 40 S&W and go 9/45 all the way butttt I still like the option of having 40 in the case that one of the other calibers "disappears" like 45 did for a while there.

More goodies arrive!

Sweet, my PF9 steel guide rod arrived to replace the plastic (wtf?) guide rod. And the Wilson spring kit for the PT1911. I am most impressed with the new plunger spring. Even though it wasn't kinked in the middle to aid not flying out. Is now. It really improved the safety feel. Now it feels like you have to push on it to release it. Factory was too light for my tastes. Since this was a new to me Taurus, I decided to replace all the springs, assuming the previous owner was like me and shot the heck out of it.

I'm back- not that it matters......

Yay, I passed my background check. Now I'm sure that I'm officially not dangerous to society at least 3 different times this year.


If I had my camera, I could document a bad (good) problem I have. Most of the time when I buy a new gun, I get the desire to immediately buy a second compact or service model of that gun. It normally goes away after 2 weeks. So, after my 2nd 1911 took up residence in 2 months, with piles of parts coming soon or here......well, shit. I have to thank the guys at 762sass.com for ordering some parts for me. Course, they do be local and all.

Though the M&P 40L (not pro) on Buds has my interest......

And your little dog too!!!!

Darkotic targets from Birchwood-Casey. No problem with them at Olafsons. I just need to shoot straighter.

Bored on the Youtubes

Weird, watching music videos on You tube, loved the Country Song video.

Great, did not expect that, has jack to do with the song other than the western elements, old school music video craziness.

Then watched Jesse J, whoever that is...

Reminded me of this video from Kerli.

No punchline, just bored and staying away from TV Tropes and deciding if Grey's Anatomy jumped the fridge or nuked the shark recently.

Buh bye

Good luck with your 72 virgins. Peace Burn. In. Hell.

We're (in)famous

Thanks Cityview, from me and about 5k other people for publishing the carry holder's names. Nice. I've noticed a ton of blogs talking about it too. I'm not sure if it really matters, now the Register will feel all silly and second to the table and stuff when they do it.

Well, I make own <*> at home.

Guess this is step 1.

Look out zombies, I'm waiting....

for more parts.

It's a hobby, I figure.
