It's good to have you back!
I would do a road trip to Texas for this.
Any fool can drive that road in good weather. For a real adventure, do it in the winter.

This is basically the same issue I've had. The rounds are not concentric & sometimes the slide is just not quite closed & I get a light primer strike. My Glock refuses to run on this stuff, my GFs...
The ammo I'm having issue with is Freedom Munitions. This lot has some (but not all) rounds that aren't concentric. I doubt I could photograph it, but you can feel it. You can drop the offending...
My PPQ had a round fail to go off at the last Carry Match. The round also had a light primer strike. So far it was a singular event. I detail stripped the gun and gave it a good cleaning as it has...
Thanks for the explanation. I took ECQC last November in ABQ but didn't remember that term. Based on the context, I thought is was maybe a LE specific TLA referring to an incident where a firearm was...
Dumb question, but what does "FUT" stand for? Google and the forum search hasn't been helpful.
I was wrong, the AA piston uppers we built were midlength gas systems, not carbine. One used a Samson Evolution 9", the other a Samson Evolution 9EX, which extends past the gas block a bit on the...
My roommate & I built 2 uppers with AA piston kits. I believe they were carbine length. We used Samson rails. The rails are too small to fit over the gas block...the flash hider & gas block must be...
1994 Defender 90. Bought new in 1994, currently has 196K miles.....some of them pretty brutal as you can see from my avatar. Enjoyed every mile so far.:cool:
My roommate put in a big order for 115g FMJ and I got 1K rounds of it. Just started shooting it 2 weeks ago. It runs fine in my PPQ and my GFs M&P, but my gen2 G19 doesn't like it. Had several...
The building that I lease part of for my shop has an old shelter in it. We opened it one day and climbed down into it with a ladder. Unfortunately, there was nothing cool....just some rotting lumber....
I think one definition of insanity is repeating the same activity and expecting different results. Makes sense.
My roommate had an HK93 clone and tried some of the polymer cased 5.56 in it. The fluted HK chamber did not play well with the polymer case. The case extruded itself into the flutes & stayed there....
I have a 9mm AR made by Lone Wolf that takes Glock magazines. I have probably 500ish rounds through it. The only issue I have with it is that if a magazine is inserted with the bolt manually locked...
I ran across a Beretta Billennium for sale on a local firearms trade board. It was a nickel plated special edition. I wonder if they get mistaken for Inox. Either way, it looks like a pretty rare...
FWIW, I found that the 10-8 M&P base plates also fit the Walther PPQ magazines. I have retrofitted all of my PPQ mags with them and see all of the benefits that DocGKR detailed. I have been using...
FWIW, 5 gallon buckets with screwed on lids make excellent shipping containers. We ship automotive differentials in them all the time.
I'm no gunsmith, but it seems like something is different in the lockup between chambering under recoil and chambering by hand. Does dropping the slide with the slide release produce the same result?...
Both .380s that I have owned, a PPK/S & DB380, spontaneously disassembled themselves while shooting. I, too, am sticking with a J-frame. I have found remarkable contentment with a no-lock 640.
I may never be rich, but I'm glad to be at a point in my life where I can afford decent ammo. It boggles my mind that people will spend big bucks on a fine firearm and then try and feed it shitty...
Tom,
Is there anything coming up in Albuquerque? I haven't seen any announcements recently. Do you maintain an email list for those of us in ABQ? I took the F2S class that Jay hosted. I would be...
