I get his point. At least as I understand in another post further down. I don't care if it's identical to a weapon of war. I have the right to own a weapon of war. It's the point of 2a. By arguing these aren't the same wins the current discussion, but t...

Switching back to safe with my thumb side causes more of a grip change. Switching to safe with the trigger finger side is just a shift up with that knuckle/base of finger to flip back to safe. ...

Is it your trigger finger side or thumb getting hung up? I've never has an issue. I have gloves I'll shoot with, granted I don't use them much. Ambi safety is so much nicer to put back on safe. ...

I feel like fixed magnification optics still have a place. Who else is making American made prism optics that are as rugged as an ACOG and cost less? I'd actually like to know. I picked up a Vortex because I couldnt justify the price for a "budget" build. But I dont love buying things I know ...

Was looking at these as well, and last minute I came across a Hellcat Pro package with 5 mags included. If I got the 43X, I was going to grab some of the shield arms magazines to get 15 round capacity. But then read of som...

Man, some of the hardest working guides I've had were on trips where the fish weren't biting. Can't really blame the guide for that. I mean if you get to the dock and every boat limited out and you didn't catch anything, then maybe ...

[quote]subsonics and you can shoot hogs[/quote]
At subsonic speeds, is .300 blk enough for hogs? I know they are tough bastards. And at subsonic loads, it's about the same energy as a supersonic 9mm if I recall. It'll draw blood and kill, but is it as efficient as what we'd typically require...
re: Has anyone here ever moved away from home after getting married and have kids?
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/30/24 at 2:55 pm
Moved after 2 years of being married. My son wasn't born when I accepted the job, but 3 months old when we moved into our new house. We are 6+ hours away. They are still pretty close with family. As much as I was with cousins and grandparents that lived ~1 hr or so away. The better job and loca...
re: Budget friendly competition style pistol options
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/30/24 at 12:54 pm
So, it's very tough for me to hold out for guns that aren't readily available. I research, but when I've made my decision to buy, I want it now. I have a suppressor in lockup waiting for a stamp and it kills me. I stopped by the range next to my house and they have a Staccato P and a Springfield ...

I drank to feel drunk. I thought I had more fun drunk. Things were better. Realized things were awful way more times than fun, but I was too drunk to notice. Other people noticed, but I was shite faced. So since I only dra...

Posted by Jon A thon on 5/29/24 at 12:44 pm
Budget is just options less than ~4k. And as far as uses, it's really just a hobby and fun. No plans to compete necessarily, and if I do it's more likely a tactical games or run and gun type competition. ...

Actually pretty impressive it took 17 years. My 3 year old girl hasn't said it, but only because she lacks the vocabulary. She's made the intention known. She's so much "meaner" than my son was at that age. And that's just for makin...

Budget friendly competition style pistol options
Posted by Jon A thon on 5/29/24 at 8:11 am
I'm starting to get the itch for a gun that I can shoot flat and fast. I've thrown around the idea of eventually getting something like a Staccato XC, but a $4300 price tag makes me always back down. Even compromising a bit and dropping the compensator and going with the XL costs $3600. Not done ...
