Well good for you for being a self made man. Regarding the slippers, it was a joke. I really believe that most everyone that is opposed to the guy is really overreacting right now. I'm just trying to make light of that. Oh, and I've been banned twice, my password was changed, etc. I should probably ...

I think the spirit of Karl Marx has sprinkled some socialist magic on this thread and allowed me to post.

Uh oh look out behind you! Obama is taking your favorite pair of slippers and giving them to the poor!

What a coincedence because I find your politics abrasive as well.

Buying an AK-47, a couple more mags for the five seven, some extra mags for the WASR.

1: I'm not a socialist. 2: I wasn't quoting a comedian. I was quoting the ACTUAL socialist candidate for president who was being interviewed by a comedian. 3: I voted Republican. 4: I don't support Obama nor what he is more than likely going to do to our 2A rights. 5: I was merely trying to prove a ...

I don't know about you, but I seek out having my beliefs challenged because that is the only way I can feel confidence in my beliefs. Using empirical evidence such as, I call Obama a socialist then a socialist says to me "he's not a socialist, he's the furthest thing from it" would cause me to quest...

Really? I get the strong feeling the Republicans will be attempting to re-tool the party and sort of turn down the volume on people like Bush, Newt, Palin, etc...

I'm sorry, but F*CK THAT. His laws do NOTHING to protect the community.

If he wants to know about protecting the commu...

I'll vouch for Diplomat bags as being a good moderately priced decent quality bag as well. It doesn't have the bells and whistles like 5.11 stuff and they're usually meat and potatoes. I carry a small Diplomat gear bag for my daily work bag and love it. Just because it's on sale, I want one. http://...

Oh my the first page of that thread is some good gun porn.

EDIT: I've been wanting their range ready bag for a while... Need to get on that. Plus, I've been eyeballing that bag that holds two LR's and the sidepocket too. Ugh. Bags... never can have enough.

I was surprised that the dow went down.

Not that it matters because using the dow as our economies barometer like using a fork to eat cereal. Wrong tool for the job...

I don't think I'm being naive when I say people are flipping out and acting like paranoid crazies. Plus, that article frames the gun owner like a psycho when they say he was "cradling" the gun. You cradle a baby... God I hate the media. Once I see some empirical evidence, I'll join in this parade of...

That blog is outstanding. Good for him for fighting the good fight!

I wasn't a gun owner at the time but what happened when Reagan signed the full auto ban?

I'm reading the Blackwater book from Jeremy Schahill.

I'm not into it far enough to give it a thumbs up or down.

Yeah this is going to be a real dark time in America. Because the last 8 years were a bright ray of sunshine.

While you contemplate shooting me, I'll contemplate what it's like to have an amazing community like this one that doesn't shove it's politics down my throat. Cake and eating it to yes?

That video came up on the main page.

And I'm not an Obama supporter... Kind of made me puke in my mouth a little.

That poor family. What hell that must be... So senseless.

I always feel like a jerk for saying stuff like this, but it makes you wonder how many shots that human piece of waste would have got off if the dad was a trained carrying citizen.

Welcome!

I snoozed, I lost.

This looks familiar.



Shoots a 4.6x30mm round, armor piercing capabilities, low recoil. Sounds familiar...

News to me that this even existed.

That would r...

Like Hornady V max or the varmint grenades

Wow sounds like people are really into the DSarms FAL's. Thanks for the heads up!

I wish I had the coin for a FN but that is a bit out of my range for what I'm willing to spend. I'm around the $1000 price range. I was going to get a PS90 next but I think I'd get more use out of a FAL. Is there a decent and reliable FAL for around $1000? Can anyone point me in the direction of a d...

If I had the extra coin I'd be into that. I totally want one of those.

Saving up for a FAL at the moment.

Still waiting for my phone call from Friday. I figured I'd be a good guy and not leave a voicemail today....

EDIT: It's Wednesday night and I'm still waiting for that phone call. Ugh.

To play the role of the echo, I would guess the reason no one offers a ported barrel is that the recoil is barely there. For me, a key selling point and usefulness of the gun is the velocity at which the bullet travels. Porting the barrel would decrease the velocity enough to probably make me scratc...

Oh man I 've read about your plight a while back Ferret.

samich wrote:what ammo did you use ?

I've only had 100 total rounds through the gun. 50 rounds of blue box, 50 rounds of SS195

Vitaliy that would be amazing.

I'm surprised that there just aren't any out there outside a few field strip videos on you tube.

Yeah it's Tommy Thacker.

Even if it is me being paranoid, with my inexperience I don't have the confidence to want to shoot the gun again till it's been looked over.

As I'm in my search for what pistol I will be carrying once I obtain my chl, I'm going to the range and renting a new gun every week or two to get some experience with different guns, rounds, etc. This feels like a new relationship. Everything is so new and the world is my oyster! This week, I put 1...

I think I and all the other newbies that don't have much handgun experience would be grateful for a oil diagram.

Thanks for those reference pics Ferret. Honestly, mine looks significantly different at the muzzle side of the gun. I did call Bob. He didn't offer any help and referred me to someone else.

Cool glad you tried him out.

It is out.

Also, I'm at work now and don't have my pistol. I'll mess with it later and post my results.

Sorry to hear about your troubles... You really shouldn't be able to release the slide when an empty mag is in the gun, the mag follower is pushing up against the slide release. Since they're new mags that you have the springs I find to be quite stiff. So the entire left right side of it has that l...

6'6", 350 lbs. Hmm. I wonder who would win in a deathmatch between you and Cyberfly??? :ponder: :ponder: :ponder: Have you field stripped other handguns before? SUch as a glock or beretta? Or is this your first handgun? I have field stripped a Glock 19 about 15 or 20 times. And when I did the field...

Also, regarding the indicator that shows if there is a round in the chamber, mine has been stuck like that since the first time I put a round in the chamber. It's been stuck like that since day one which was about three weeks ago.

Last night I looked up some terminology so maybe I can communicate better. My field strip consisted of dry firing, dropping the mag, pulling the slide back, using the takedown lever, pulling the slide forward and then off the frame. I removed the barrel and spring assembly, and that's it. I read som...

So here's the scenario. Keep in mind this gun has seen a grand total of 100 rounds through it. Tonight I did a very thorough cleaning of my pistol for the first time. I field stripped it, did my thing, and went for the performance check after I was done. The only part that moved while the gun was st...

Added to the shopping list.

I have my heart set on a revolver for my woods gun but, now I have yet another gun to research. I'd never heard of the .357sig. Sounds like a cool round for sure.

I put in a couple friends that are felons and nothing showed up. I have a "colorful" background from my youth through my early 20's and nothing came up.

The thumb break on my Barsony holster is perfect. I have it adjusted so it's nice and tight and the angle is perfect.

I'm glad I didn't impulse buy that thing. After a long day of thinking, I fired an email off to Tanners. PS90 is next

Because whoever mentioned that if Obama is coming, and it looks that way, a PS90 would be a good thing to get right about now.

30 years old and totally don't care. Age is relative...

Once I get to where I can't stand up, can't walk, can't feed myself, then I'll gripe about my age.

Does your holster leave a lot of room from the end of the barrel to the end of the holster? Is it open? There was one Uncle Mike's that sort of fit, but it left a good 1"-1.5" of play in the bottom of the holster.

have you considered a Sp101 in .327 mag? Its tiny, wont get in your way when your running around in the woods...and you get 7 shots. I really wish someone would come out with a little pocket auto in .327mag. Id get it in a heartbeat. I'd also love to reload that little sucker to see what its true p...

Yeah it's super overpriced.

I'd rather get a Colt Python if I'm going to pay $900-$1000 for a revolver.

EDIT: Overpriced but of course, I still want one!!!

I'm just about ready for my next purchase and I'm floundering on three guns. FAL, PS90, or a Colt Python/This SW. Too many choices!

I don't want to bubba this thing out, but, I like the idea of a 8 shot .357 for my camping/hiking/playing in the woods gun.

I almost clicked buy it now... :gavel:

That drives other people nuts too? :laugh:

Ha! I'm a dumb country cowpoke too. Your experience and perception are just different than mine. That's all.

I tried to fit my five seven in every damn Uncle Mike's holster they had in Sportsmans one day. Nothing came even close.

This holster is made for two or three guns. Some HK, and the five seven.

I don't know about you guys but I had a hard time finding a good quality nylon holster for my five seven. When I was at the Canby gun show last week I was chatting with the guy that runs buyammo.com and he mentioned he had a five seven. I said holster, he said go see this dude. Low and behold, $20 l...

Being something of an amateur expert on animal behavior, animal's don't have a sense of vengeance. They quite literally can't go out of their way to hurt you because they just aren't wired for it. They are wired to protect themselves when they feel threatened at that moment, but, a horse isn't going...

I have noticed my mag doesn't drop very easily and I have to press a little harder than I thought to get it to drop. I would guess it's simply due to the gun being so new though. I've only got 100 rounds through her so far. Actually, 80.

You only have to oil the outside of the barrel and frame rails? Crazy. I couldn't find any info about that in the manual, no videos, no diagrams. I'm a total gun newb and all my experience with handguns was with my Glock 19 that I owned for one week. That had one or two other oil spots outside the b...

Yeah I'm going to clean it before I go shooting again. I really think this was just me not cleaning the packing oil well enough.

I tried my 8mp Polaroid digital, and got nothing.

Grabbed my Fenix light and my Sony Ericson 2mp camera phone, held it too close to blur the reflection of the shavings and here you have it.

But, pics up in the original post. Also, I think I found rust. Ugh.

As some of you know I finally got to fire my five seven for the first time last weekend. It was a real treat. I can't say enough about the weapon. Before I went out I cleaned the barrel and the majority of the shipping gunk/oil on the slide itself. When I cleaned the gun, I didn't get all the gunk t...

I thought I was the weird one here. I think you're all doped up on goof balls.

I thought the same thing. I wasn't stressed at all. Just figured it was either a break in thing, the fact that we were in the mountains, it was cold as hell, and foggy and super moist, or the excess packing oil I didn't get good enough.

Ha! that's great!

I totally dig your Star Wars quote too. One of my favorites.

This quote sums up why I'm a gun owner. (Found on that site)

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend. (J.R.R.Tolkien, The Two Towers)

I grew up sorting and feeding the animals at a rodeo. I've been around horses my whole life but don't have any and never have had any. I'd love to someday. I think they're just plain amazing animals.

And review the sucker!

The form is useless to you if you did find it online. This form should have been given to you by your dealer when you purchased your firearm. It needs to have been filled out by your ffl dealer. Or else it's about as useful as a $3 bill.

Saw one today at the Canby gun show for $1575. That's pretty much standard across the board. This is a great deal.

I never sweat following rules in someone else's house so that didn't bother me. The only thing that bummed me out was just not getting to shoot. The guys at the range were incredibly friendly and even let me rent a gun for free. I had to get it out of my system so I dropped a quick 50 rounds through...
