    Sidearms & Scatterguns Army REJECTS Glock 19X, "It's a shitty pistol that is not worth the Army's time and money." - General James C. McConville, Army Chief of Staff

    There are three issues the M9 has in service that I have seen/heard of: Checkmate Magazines. Slightly better than ProMag. But why the Army/DoD decided saving $.01 per unit versus the benefit of a working weapon is is staggering. When I was in Iraq in 2006 we had M9s. Every Friday our team...

    Maybe Reub just does not want to admit his Very Special Forces team uses High Points with the dolla' bill paint job?!? :LOL:

    What I was getting at is what the pros shoot and what gets issued are two separate things. Do you think that the Glocks that Team Glock shoot are randomly pulled off of the shipping dock and are identical to the ones that you or I would buy at out local gun shop? And also these shooters get...

    West Point Cheating

    Ring knockers can be a fucking pain. The good news is they usually self identify and unless they are in your CoC, they are easy enough to avoid. The good Academy grads are the ones who take their rings off and get to work. And some you have to drag out of them where they earned their...

    West Point Cheating

    I would love to see some good hammers dropped on these cheaters. And there is also something brewing at Canoe U too. If it was 7 caught, they all might have been tossed out. But 70 would put a dent in the officer program. Not sure on the Army side, but when the Navy does their yearly 'health...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Army REJECTS Glock 19X, "It's a shitty pistol that is not worth the Army's time and money." - General James C. McConville, Army Chief of Staff

    Apples and oranges. The guns used by those top shooters have been in and out of custom shops so much that little of the original gun is left in it. Kind of like saying since the top NASCAR driver is winning races in a Chevy Impala, then the one I buy from my local dealer is just as good. The...

    As a reformed Sig fanboi, between the two, I would still pick the Sig. With the exception of the full sized 17, every other Glock was fine. But nothing about it said I needed one. And at it's core, the G19 is still a 30+ year old gun. The Sig is based around the chassis design they pioneered...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    With all the complaints about the photos of women in this thread makes me wonder if we need to start an 'American Bear' thread to make them happy.

    Movie Theater The Mandalorian (Spoilers are ok; youve been warned)

    Good question. Ahsoka and Sabine Wren team up to rescue Ezra Bridger in the epilogue of Rebels. But all we know is that happened after Jedi. But other than that and Ahsoka looking for information on where Thrawn is, we have no other info. A lot of options on where in the time line where we...

    Movie Theater The Mandalorian (Spoilers are ok; youve been warned)

    Doubt it. Kenobi is set between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope. The Book of Boba Fett is several years after Return of the Jedi.

    ATF At It Again! Keep Your Eyes & Ears Open!

    Wow. Rational. From you? Bwahahahahaha. DO you talk to God and does he talk to you? And who are you to determine what is Constitutional and what isn't. Last time I checked, the US Constitution said that belongs to the US Supreme Court. But glad you feel you can violate laws that you don't...

    Movie Theater The Mandalorian (Spoilers are ok; youve been warned)

    Season 2 ended quite well. The doors are wide open for 3 (and 4?). And I will be nice and not do any spoilers. Ahsoka's series will be good. Book of Fett can be fun. Not sure if a series about a crime boss doing crime boss things is "disney", but it will be worth a shot.

    Looking forward to the video of Bluballs to do 120. Please let us know when you plan to break the law and be smartass to the police. Looking forward to it.

    Growing up in a border state, I learned to speak the language of the neighbor as a young kid;). Even put it down when my command did their annual "what languages do you speak?" as a joke. Loved pulling out a Loonie from my pocket to show that I keep up on Canadian language and culture. Was a...

    ATF At It Again! Keep Your Eyes & Ears Open!

    Because too many gun owners looked at the brace, saw a stock, and use it accordingly. The probable reason the ATF is looking again is when they look at social media accounts of gun owners, they see people using them as stocks. Not as braces like designed. But with your and other...
