Happy Pascha!
Yes, it is a shame that the owner of USFA seemed to have just stopped caring, and let USFA fall apart. The Standard is certainly well-fitted and well-finished. I have yet to shoot it.
Not Gray222, but, if “family members who aren’t familiar with shooting” will trigger-jerk the whole weapon off-target, without using a laser, they will trigger-jerk the whole weapon off-target while...
With that “Arthur I” thing starting to make itself felt, in the second knuckle of both of my trigger fingers, during my long-stroke double-action dry fire routine, well, single-action sixgunning is...
So. Very. Sad.
Rest in peace.
Further words fail me.
The BLR has a VERY complex bolt assembly. It received some early praise, for being AR15-like, in design, but design and execution can be different, in the real world.
The current Browning BLRs are Miroku-made. (Current meaning since some time in the Eighties, I would think.) Mine have only been lightly used, and only with .308 Winchester ammo, not 7.62 NATO, so, I...
Plus, my $0.02. Mine is actually a G19x, but, it has a G45 upper, that I bought already milled for an ACRO, so, is a half-G45.
Page Three, already, nobody has yet mentioned screwdrivers? Properly-configured screwdrivers are important! Click on the Brownells link, near the top of this page, and buy the correct screwdrivers.
Regarding the conceal-ability issue, I found that the G19 and G17 have been equally difficult to conceal, IWB and OWB. I have to drop all the way down to a “baby” Glock, to achieve noticeably better...
To correct one mis-statement, in my above-quoted previous post: Specified .40 S&W and 9mm Glocks were, quite simply, the least of four evils, among the duty pistols I was allowed to use, during a...
The slim-line 9mm Glocks use a different Recoil Spring Assembly. That is their weakness. HCM has witnessed a huge sample size, and has written of this, multiple times, in multiple discussion thread,...
Sad. Rest in peace.
The G19x was developed for submission for a US military pistol contract. Measurements for length and height were specified by the .gov/.mil. Simple as that.
For historic precedent, simply look at...
True. ;) I had already bought back into the G26, a couple of years ago, after having sold the one I had, to a young rookie colleague, in the darkest twilight of my LEO-ing career, late 2017. (Its...
Well, for what it’s worth, I just “re-bought” a G19. I had traded-away my three Gen4 G19 pistols, in 2020, because they were getting to be too harsh on my arthritic right hand and wrist, whereas the...
“Liked,” and wish that I could give this ten thumbs-up. Hand-to-gun “fit” is, indeed, so very important, and that which fits in dry-fire/dry-handling conditions is NOT, necessarily how things will...
Left hand: 7-3/4” to 7-13/16”. This is my “dominant” hand, for writing, and many skilled/detailed tasks. This is my better “Glock hand.”
Right Hand: 7-1/2” to 7-5/8”. (I kept getting slightly...
My background is Southern Baptist, with no known Jewish heritage, but, I like to keep in mind that I study the teachings of a particularly devout Jewish carpenter, from Nazareth. And, I live in a...
I said “my revolvering skills are less perishable.” This was only meant to apply to my personal self, and “less” is a relative term, as compared to my automaticing skills. ;)
I did not say...
This reminds me that weapons in waist/belt pouches, a.k.a. “fanny packs,” are vulnerable to spilled and dropped food and drinks. I will not say who it was, on a publicly-viewable forum, but I took a...
Let us all have a good, safe Passover/Pesach, however we choose to observe it.
My first experience with “limp-wrist” malfunctions started shortly before my fiftieth birthday. My first such malfunction was a bolt out of the blue, on a day when I was extremely fatigued, and...
‘Way back in the Eighties, I noticed serious bullet set-back, with a .45 ACP Winchester Silvertip, that had been chambered in a 1911. This prompted me to adopt the habit of habit of relegating every...
