Leverage is the same as torque here. Calling it one or the other makes no difference whatsoever. The hammer cocks only the first little bit of slide travel and has relatively little effect on the...
The standard (i.e. small) radius firing pin stop is a reliability feature. The leverage disadvantage absorbs more of the impulse of the slide at the beginning of the slide's travel, sparing the...
Properly countersink your frame before staking and don't use plunger tubes made from annealed pot metal?
Guns = good.
Killing people at the behest of Wall St. = bad.
Not sure why there's so much opinion that you can only believe both or neither.
I'm old and broken and I've slept in expensive beds (a McRosky. I know this because the owner bragged about it), on lumpy motel beds, in a pile of dogs, on bare rocky ground, in hammocks, in snow...

Seems like the next logical step in the evolution of 1911 idiocy after the action spring "tuning" to the point where the slide will just barely lock back on empty. Run the extractor tension as high...
All flags of all states and all groups are racist (bigoted, really) by design. They are symbols that devide "us" from "them." See the Robber's Cave experiment for some entertaining consequences.
They did you a favor. The book is hilariously bad and contrary to established best practices.
Here are few links to peer-reviewed journal articles:

Just don't get her wet or feed her after midnight and you'll be fine.
There's an entertaining video of LAV shooting a Wilson Combat pistol in slow motion. In the shots where the feed isn't edited out you can see the round bounce around on the barrel before it chambers....
Depends. There are techniques and modifications that can be used with many handguns to reduce the strength needed to run the weapon. Racking the slide with locked elbows, using a lanyard to tie the...
There are no warriors anymore. The rise of the market economy has made real war between powerful equals so expensive that its mere suggestion is hilariously unattractive to any significant...

Because of the proliferation of gunsmith-fit parts for 1911s and the nature of tolerance stack up, there's not really any such thing as a 1911 that "doesn't need babying." Eventually...
Two separate conditions exist. Responsibility and fault. You are "responsible" if reasonable changes to your actions would have led to a change in outcome. You are "at fault" if you commit a crime....
This was apparently part of the inspiration for the Cell411 app. It was created in part so you could call a crackhead instead of a cop. Or just call a reliable friend instead of a cop. *shrug*
There are none explicitly regarding trigger travel as far as I've been able to find over the last month or so of looking off and on.
A German study on involuntary muscle contraction was cited the...
Regular moderate weight training will tend to make you more resilient, make time spent training for your sport easier, etc. In particular, lean mass and leg strength are strongly associated with...
Agorism is more fun.

Lot of knives and tools? A belt sander that takes 1x30 or 1x42 belts and a sharpening fixture.

I like how he completely avoided taking responsibility for gorging himself on crap for years and used having a beat up body as an excuse. As if you have to exercise to run a calorie deficit. With...
At all?
While they're not the same, compared to NCIS or Modern Family they're similar. Which is why I said "a bit like" and not "the same as."
