Last Thursday I ordered 1,000 rounds of 9mm from CheaperThanDirt.com. On Saturday (Nov 12), FedEx delivered…500 rounds of 9mm. The manufacturer packages the ammo in 500 round boxes, so I was supposed to get two boxes instead of one. Called CTD and they verified they shipped two boxes. Customer Service also gave me the tracking… Read More »
I was talking with Mrs. wizardpc over the weekend about taking some classes from Tom Givens (warning: auto-playing video w/sound, so mute your speakers) in 2012. Drew has already progressed from ‘never shot a handgun before’ to ‘I want to shoot IDPA’ in less than three months, and the two of us want to take… Read More »
Good thing we have the NFA and the Hughes Amendment to keep criminals from having machine guns. I mean, it’s not like some teenager can build an open bolt, mag fed automatic airgun that shoots AA batteries with enough muzzle energy to maim or kill you. And he made it out of PVC and a… Read More »
Reminder to the OWS protesters wearing Guy Fawkes masks: his plot failed and he was drawn and quartered. The British hate him so much that they still burn him in effigy 400 years later. Not sure why you’d want to emulate that, but whatever. Do what you want. If I thought the local “Occupy” movement could… Read More »
Critics said that if we allowed people with handgun carry permits to carry in parks, there would be shotgun attacks against schoolchildren on playgrounds. And they were right! NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Seventeen-year-old Michael Hague surrendered himself at police headquarters late Tuesday night and is confined at juvenile detention on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault… Read More »
Alternate title: Two is one, one is none. Not a good weekend to be my equipment. On Friday, one of the kydex belt loops for my Raven Concealment holster snapped while I was getting into my wife’s car. I’ve had that holster for three or four years, so I wasn’t really surprised. Back in July… Read More »
Just got a call from my FFL. See, when I bought my suppressor back in July, I gave them the money for the tax stamp. Apparently, they forgot to send the money to the ATF. Perhaps I will handle that myself next time. Counter gets reset. Dammit.
At New Shooter day, there were a couple of gentlemen at the range with matching BDU (or is it ACU? I can’t keep up) pants and UnderArmor wicking shirts. Under their station I spied some high-dollar MOLLE gear and noticed a unit patch I’d not seen before. Towards the end of our time there, a… Read More »
Top: Rock River AR-15 Bottom: M&P15-22 The thing about an AR trainer is that it needs to be as close as possible to your “real” rifle as possible. I just got the M&P15-22, but I’m already starting to duplicate the functionality. When I was taking care of my Form 4 stuff, I picked up two Magpul… Read More »
I went down to my FFL on Saturday to start my portion of the cluster that is NFA Paperwork. It took 65 days for the NFA branch to decide it was okay for Gemtech to send a .22 suppressor down to a shop that makes suppressors for .50s. Whatever. Since I am a total n00b… Read More »
