Thanks for making that thread a PDF. TPI is like the library of Alexandria for things tactical and practical discussed maturely.
It was interesting reading that thread. I am only partly, through...
I have a Steyr SSG that I bought 30 years ago. I have not shot it in a while, but when I did shoot it I managed to put 5 Fed 168 grain match loads into .5" at 100 yards and 1" at 200 yards. I have...
entropy, it is the electronic applications that move with unprecedented speed now. I don't know if the ATF accepts paper applications any more.
I got the paperwork for 2 suppressors approved within a week. I know someone who got the paperwork for a select fire gun approved in something like 5 days.
The G42 is a compromise gun--you give up some things to get such a small package. I have some compromise guns.
You give up some things to have a .380 in such a small package.
I would just find...
I don't think I explained myself well with regard to what I meant to. In this particular case we have a number of net denizens and even an instructor or two claiming that if you shoot at them they...
Someone in Montana got convicted for shooting a burglar who was inside of his garage trying to steal something after the homeowner left the garage open specifically to entrap someone.
What is interesting is that an increasing number of Internet pundits and sadly an instructor or two would have you believe that the criminal runs at the sight of a gun. Not so. In this case the...
It says "Possibly Blanks."
What type of gun is he using to achieve the hits, and with what sights?
If you judge him by by Pistol Forum standards, he is not doing well. But if you compare him to what you see at a public...
1slow, my WAG would be to zero the Tavor with that setup to be about 3" low at 25 yards, then try shooting it at 100 yards. It will still shoot high at 100 yards, but it will be more manageable.

Very nice @Little Lebowski. What length barrel is that upper? Also, what muzzle device and suppresser do you have on it?
I am running far behind with my contributions to this thread. This was done over the course of several range sessions
First Colt SBR lower with 10.3" HK416 upper. The Alec Baldwin PMAG was...
I have a concern that the M-lock forend might be interpreted as a "barrel shroud", or whatever they call it, or something else that NY legislates against.

It looks like foreend of a...
I think the Tavor is a wonderful gun that gets a bad rap.
What do you expect me to say when I will soon have a Tavor up for sale in the appropriate section of this forum.
Ask me what I think...
What is this person being trained for? Is it a police officer? Is it a citizen wanting to learn how to use a gun?
How bad does this person shoot?
Can they keep 10 rounds on a pie plate sized...
I would get the Caracal. It intrigues me because it was designed by one of the designers of the HK416 and is supposedly an improved version. It is definitely lighter than the HK416 uppers. I...
There are some great posts in this thread.
I would think that a 310 grain load travelling at 1000 FPS that is fired from a scandium framed revolver would feel like a Magnum load.
I have seen a number of posts in various threads which state that a .44 Special or .45 Colt that uses 240-255 grain Keith style semi-wadcutter travelling at 900-1000 feet per second is a match for...
I would love to see a separate thread addressing this topic: the lethality of 250 grain .44 Special and .45 rounds against larger North American Game. Some months ago I was with Wayne Dobbs and...
I was very saddened when I read this. Not as bad as I expected with the title of the thread, but still bad.
Thanks, GJM. I am going to rent the gun again and pay special attention to whether the beavertail does anything to my strong-side thumb.
