Enough with the discussion on parachutes... Any more hijacks and this thread will be closed.

Suicide by cop. Luckily both officers survived (albeit with injuries) and Gilkerson didn't.

Odd, as .40 has been the most prevalent handgun ammo I've seen during this "drought"...

OK, the next person that posts FOUO or sensitive information in this thread are going to be joining the two that are already sitting in the corner! Knock it off!

In respect to those who perished, off-topic comments concerning procurement and similar issues were removed... To the crew!

On a related note, from the AFA Daily...

WTF?

No shit...

Not cheap, but at least it's .380 ammo for sale! https://www.slickguns...ammo-stock-2195 Cheers! M2

I have a TCP, it's the best pocket pistol in .380 I've shot. The LCP is very similar, but lacks the last round slide lock feature that I prefer. It's a helluva lot nicer than the Kel-Tec P3AT I owned previously, I hated that pistol. As for ammo, .380 has been always tough to find as it is essentially 9mm in a short casing (in Europe it's known as 9mm Kurz, or 'short' in German). I thought looking online, but SlickGuns doesn't list any nor does AmmoEngine and the prices on GunBroker are ridiculous. Just be persistent and try local sources, Academy stores are pretty good here. Good luck! M2

Wow, it's been tough finding any around here...

Yeah, I was very frugal with what little ammo I have for it (50 rounds). I have a lead on some more, not a lot but I don't think this will be a handgun I regularly shoot; much like my Nagant 1895s...

Drunk dude on tracks gets hit by train! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPeEstDtvOU

Shot my Yugo M57 Tokarev this morning, what a blast! Typically crappy Commie sights, but otherwise it ran perfectly. Spits brass about 45' away, one of the other shooters down the line asked me what I was shooting because he saw it flying through the air. I let him put a couple of rounds through it, he liked it. the only down side was despite a good cleaning, it still weeped a pretty considerable amount of oil I also took my newly-acquired bi-tone Sig Skeeter out, last time it didn't run too reliably. I was having the same issues this time despite the thorough cleaning until the same dude walked up and suggested I oil the snot outta one little hole on the right slide of the slide. I did so and had considerable improvement, but it took a few more times before it was running pretty well. Of course, this caused it to seep a fair bit of oil. So a great day at the range, but an oily one as well. Still, I am happy that the Mosquito is running better, I wasn't too thrilled with it after its first outing. Now I see why it is such a popular pistol... Cheers! M2

A separate thread has been started on the MC-12 crash in Afghanistan... MC-12 Crash in Afghanistan

That Archangel stock is pretty cool, I might just drag up one of my Mosins from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico to modernize it like that... Of course, once it's all done, it'll have to go back to sleeping with the fishes like the rest of my collection! Cheers! M2

Tula or Izhevsk? The carbines are more fun to shoot than the 91/30s!

Chill guys, it's unlocked now. Have no idea why it was or who did it, but rest assured it will is a priority to keep it up and running!

...and I tell them I sold it via a private sale. In Texas, there is no need to document that transaction. Or I lost it in the big boating accident of 2013! And such efforts by the ATF usually only happens in a few Federal cases, for the most part that organization doesn't run traces for municipal or even state agencies. Those departments have to solve their crimes the old fashion way...with real police work!

No worries, the joys of ownership last long after the fact that you overpaid fads into oblivion! Now go find a large body of water to accidentally lose all your new toys in...

Fail. Locked.

Intentional?

Ironic isn't it, a military service that strips all entrants of their individuality, makes them dress and look the same, enforces uniformity yet celebrates diversity? Does anyone else see a conflict there?!?
