Thanks, Tony, I'll do that.

You might sound her out on alternative gem stones as well. My fiancee dislikes diamonds, so I got her a sapphire ring. Unfortunately, good sapphires are almost as expensive as diamonds, but there are...

or thereabouts.

To be honest, I am looking for both rifle and carbine training, probably starting with the rifle training at Appleseed. I think the more precision-oriented type of shooting will do a better job of...

I may not get that much out of a basic pistol class... I just finished AFHF.

I like the idea of the Appleseed shoot though, and I will check out Failure2Stop.

Currently, I only shoot pistols. I am fixin' to change that this summer. I want to take a series of courses over the next 1-2 years in order to take me from a novice to a competent rifle shooter. My...

I carried one as my primary for a little over a year until I got my g17.
They are ridiculously accurate, especially if you used good ammo instead of monarch steel case from academy. My reloads were...

Base time 3.24, so I set the par at 4.5
Format is Rounds fired/Hits/# over time, followed by my notes for each string

1. 6/3/0 Whoa there, slow down
2. 6/6/1 Ok, now push it a little

QFT. I agree with this strongly. Prior to the class, I had tried using what I thought was the pressout and the crouch. It didn't work, so I abandoned it and went back to a punchout with trigger...

Equation for calculating spring constant:

Also, the NY1 spring that I have (the new one, I haven't measured the one in my gun) is about 0.42"...

You might want to pick out a bunch and try them, but here's a couple that I think may work.

Based off of very rough measurements of the NY1 spring, the NY1 should have a spring rate of 16-17...

Try Grainger or McMaster-Carr for springs.

That's the other thing I was thinking of, just substitute a weaker compression spring.

I'm interested how this will turn out. Keep us posted LOKNLOD.

Maybe I'm weird, but I just use my regular AIWB holster and put the pack belt on over it. I've done this the last couple trips I went on, including to Big Bend.

Glad I'm not the only one with nerves. See y'all there!

This seemed interesting.

I wasn't trying to say the Chart was worthless, far from it. Just that it has limited usefulness without the rest of the picture. Little did I know that it was linked to a site with as much info as...

The Chart is interesting, but it seems as though many companies just use it a shopping list of "things they have to have because it's Mil-Spec". I still wonder which companies actually go to the...

I read the Neanderpundit posts when Tam linked to them, and found them to be very enlightening. In fact, they are one of the things that decided me on getting an AR at all. However, while it has...

Rob, I would love to hear more about the minutiae, if you have the time, and don't mind explaining it. That sort of thing interests me like nothing else.

So, to recap, mids offer real and possibly significant advantages on paper, but these advantages can't be quantified due to the lack of hard data to demonstrate them, meaning they could very well be...

I didn't want to divert the other AR thread, but I am curious. I also ran a search, and it appears that this has never been explicitly discussed here.

Does the mid length offer real, significant,...

Availability of a midlength is what keeps pushing me to DD...

Ok, I checked around a few places, and I've decided to go the complete rifle route. It will either be a Colt or a DD (I'll consider a BCM if I see one, but they're uncommon round here).

Just as an...
