Amusingly, their diesels sound as quiet as a gasoline engine.

Not bad pricing. I need more target ammo for my .45, and to get out on the range more. Hopefully before my 31st birthday I'll finally pick up an AR for myself as well. J Great co to deal with. This is my 3rd time buying from them. I recommend them.

GMC blunt? Wouldn't that be Grosse Pointe Ugly?

Just got a strong deal on .40 165gr Critical Defense. 2 cases of 200 for $360. Grabbed up a couple "battle" (thousand) packs of target 9mm and .40 for practice, too. http://www.sgammo.com/product/hornady/200-round-case-40-cal-sw-hornady-critical-defense-165-grain-ftx-hollow-point-ammo-91

Odd design. I assumed a stock lower with a stock rail. Try bending the bracket down, perhaps?

New clips, perhaps? We ran stock clips on race GNs with 150 pound pumps.

So this morning a big spark flies out of my plasma TV and she shits the bed. Sad panda. No more worthwhile plasma screens out there. Decides it is best to buy a 65" Samsung SUHD 4K TV... Suddenly almost happy again. Star Wars Battlefront on a 4K is pretty... fucking... impressive.

Speaking of Star Wars awesomeness... look what I picked up at midnight last night.

Getting warmer! BOOM! Motherfucker!!! I love tannerite. Indeed, sir!

Expecting a heavy period?

I like that. Looks a lot like the Ultra Carry 2.

Yeah, I have several friends who own Kimbers and I have never heard of a problem from them. In fact, I have never heard of an actual owner of one complain about it. I did some research (because I have heard of the issues as well) and found that most complaints were keyboard commandos who never even shot a Kimber who were relaying something they read on the internet. If Marine special ops, and LAPD SIS use them, I am fine with it. I will have a local smith go through it and polish it up and run a couple tweaks on it. Kimber makes a proven 1911 platform compact to full size. I have shot almost every thing they currently make and like. Just keep in mind they are a lighter and tighter tolerance built gun than say a springfield mil spec 1911, so with the lighter advantage you will have more wrist snap in a .45. Seth as far as polishing it up you can do that or get a box of full lead tip ammo and go shoot it in. I mean slides, seers and triggers will get work. It will get a bunch of lead down the pipe. The Shield is only a couple weeks old, but it already has almost 300 rounds through it. I have never shot a 40 out of a subcompact, and I am honestly finding recoil in such a small, light pistol to be affecting my grip. It is odd, as I am not flinching, but it seems like I am psyching myself in to squeezing it too tight when I draw from the hip. I keep pushing it low left, but my finger is spot on on the trigger. Just standing on the line I am not doing it, but on the draw I am no where near as accurate as I am with the Shield9. Bottom line is, I shoot the fuck out of my guns .

what happed to the two spent rounds? They went into a deer carcass, actually. My buddy got a decent 200# 7 pointer the day before I bought it. We wanted to see what a .40 S&W FMJ would do to it compared to a 9mm FMJ. The .40 blew through it, but the 9 stopped on the other shoulder blade. He has a Glock 23 and a Glock 27 we also shot at it. He is waiting for a .357 sig conversion for his 23. I wish it was there that weekend so we could have compared it as well.

A guy I work with got one in trade a few months ago. It has a Mil spec 7 twist barrel He always comes out to my house to shoot, so I have had the opportunity to shoot it quite a bit. It's just not my thing. I have owned an AK, and that was really not my thing either. I am really more into a bolt rifle, I love long range utilitarian accuracy. For home defense I have shotguns and pistols. I really don't have a need that semi-auto/Tactical can fill. The AR looks cool, as far as tactical goes, and it really is kind of fun to shoot. It's low recoil makes shooting it for a long time easy, and it makes requisition of the target easy. It feels more like a good rifle than an AK, but the AK has a lot more ass. You know someone is going to die at the end of an AK, where the mild AR seems less deadly. Also, I don't find the AR to be really accurate. That kills the gun for me. I like to shoot sub-moa, and I know the AR isn't built for that, but I am too competitive for that.

Cat is gone. Bummer. Sorry dude.

OK, so I have a gun thing going again. I am a CCW but I already have my daily carry. I bought a new M&P40 Shield (no thumb safety) 2 weeks ago to fill that need. I leave my M&P9 Shield at home now. I like the 40 better. I have an IWB and an on the hip holster But I want to grab a 1911. I like Kimber, and I have narrowed it down to the Ultra Carry 2, or the Pro Carry 2. Both are 45ACP, both have many of the same offerings. Both are 7+1 single stacks, both have match stainless steel barrels, steel slides, bull barrels to absorb recoil and aid in balance, 4-5# pulls, etc. The real difference is barrel length and the frame materials. The frame on the Pro Carry is a hardened aluminum alloy to save weight (tested with over 20,000 cycles to maintain nominal wear) while the Ultra Carry is a stainless steel frame for heft. The Pro has a 4 inch barrel, while the Ultra is a 3 inch. Aside from barrel (and obviously overall) length, they are the same height and width. I like the bigger sight radius on the Pro, but like the small stature of the ultra. I expect this pistol to be more of an in the woods carry, as a backup, and a paper puncher/home defense pistol. Primary carry will be on a hip holster, but I am considering a shoulder carry for this if I so opt to CC with it. The handle is just too big for an IWB, and I am not certain I am comfortable with carrying cocked and locked pointing at my nuts. Carrying a 1911 with one in the pipe and the hammer down (resting on the round) is not safe, and I will not risk having to rack a round in a situation, as it takes too much time. Plus, I don't want the holster wear that accompanies a daily carry on such a pretty piece. Initial thought is, the Pro suits my needs better. Better sight radius is awesome for accuracy, as is the longer barrel. It is still small enough to allow for a shoulder carry. Any input is awesome.

I thought Lithium Ion batteries was just a generic term for any batteries that used Lithium? Lithium Ion varies from many traditional lithium batteries in that they are rechargeable through multiple cycles. Traditional Lithium batteries (such as LiPb) are not designed as cyclical/deep cycle batteries.

FWIW, 40hz is where it should really be tuned.

I would tune it to whatever the closest trash can is ported to.

Oh yeah, one eye closed

Shot a 150 yard .286" (corrected, not edge to edge) 4 shot group Saturday. Yes, that is ~ a .2 MOA. Shockingly it was a factory load, not a handload. My 22-250 LOVES Hornady Superformance 50gr. V-Max.

Depends. Iron sights, one eye open. At the range with a scope, one eye open. Deer, other game without possible high speed/follow up shots and a scope, one eye. Varminting for multiple targets, fast moving targets and a scope (think coyote, fox, bobcat, lynx, etc) both eyes open. The reason for that is tracking is easier with both eyes. When small dogs/cats are the prey you have to be ready for them to run at any time. They spook easily and quickly.

Drink cranberry juice, it's a diuretic.

Boba Fett was my favorite character.
