I would be the last person to denigrate anyone's service, no matter what they did or where they served. Each and every servicemember's job is important to the operations it supports. I remember my...
That they even call themselves pilots makes me laugh. A ribbon sure, a medal, ok whatever. Should be way down the order of precedence though. Over the bronze star and purple heart? That's downright...
8 1/2 years in the Navy, '02 to '11. 8 DAYS sea time. My deployment uniforms were desert camo, not blue coveralls. Been south of the equator a few times, still a 'wog... Made AE1 (E-6) before I...
Here's mine. Comfortable and doesn't shift. Looks less "bulgy" in real life...
Like I said, if you know the right people, you can still have some fun;)
After a quick search I found it was a DDG (destroyer) and 3 simultaneous head shots on a rolling sea. Legendary.
Back...
I think that was an LHD or something, we called them smallboys. Helos only. But I dunno what those guys used that day. For sure some fine shooting though
Oh and once you find your rack, your...
The funny thing is we did have our own shooting range, right off elevator 3. If you knew someone sometimes you could have some real fun off the fantail...
I served aboard the USS Carl Vinson. We always keep 11 in service and one ready to go. I can tell you the crews of the Constellation, JFK, and now the Kitty Hawk were sad to see them go but at the...
I folded an old soft-style mouse pad over a mag and sewed it together grippy side out. Easy to trim to any shape you like and won't come out of your pocket with the mag. Keeps the lint out and the...
And corrosion prevention. But I rarely go past field stripping either. I just wish someone would tell my 10/22 about that "thousands of rounds" idea. Only gun I've ever owned that gave me trouble...
This (great) review is a year and a half old...
And I for one do still admire the roll marks on my pm9 while watching TV at night, as well as the three glowing green dots over a black slide, but...
I've always preferred heavy bullets and recently started carrying HST's. I get mine from sgammo in 50 round boxes but you gotta catch them in stock and don't hesitate. It's a popular round
I'll admit, I almost skipped this thread because I thought a "recoil cam" was some kind of internal mod to reduce recoil! But that was an awesome video, really shows what a handfull those .40's and...
I didn't go in dead-set on buying a kahr in particular, just shopping for a subcompact 9 in general. However, after handling a ruger lc9 and not liking it my next question was "do you have a pm9 in...
My kahr in a safe? Don't see it happening anytime soon. If, however unlikely, it were to happen, it would be: slide closed on an orange chamber flag, mags empty. Just like the current tenants that...
Actually the safety/deco*kers on my S&W and the M9 are both up to fire so I wouldn't say it was backwards at all. It's that "other" pistol that has it backwards! It also becomes a perfectly natural...
Which makes sense... I'd hate to see my wife's hair after using my cleanup methods...
Never felt the need to clean it out when changing pistol grips, buildup is negligible and hardly noticeable. I spray the grip not the gun... On the bikes tho wd-40 and alcohol make the bars like new....
Having been an auto mechanic for ten years before moving on to other things I know what brake cleaner can do... It will definitely clear your striker channel but you could also blow the white dots...
Hairspray has almost as many uses as wd-40! I use it on pistol and longbow grips, bicycle and dirtbike grips, to keep pencil sketches from smudging, keeps the couch from sliding on a laminate...
First, welcome to the forum! You're gonna find lots of laughs and great info here. Make sure you check out the stickies in the tech section if you haven't yet...
+p is perfectly fine through your...
I was able to make two bases and seven 36" uprights from one twin size box spring my wife tried to throw away. just get some scrap boards, a saw, and a few nails, not hard to come up with something...
Amazing how big a muzzle can get when you're looking down one and you know for certain it's loaded and not controlled by you. Makes me queasy just thinking about it.
Now, just like that first...
THAT is awesome!
