First USPSA match in the bag! I highly recommend it, lots of fun and the other shooters (at least the club I shot at) were very helpful.

Glock grip texturing with a wood burning kit. I checkered the tip of the iron. Still some spots I can touch up later.

An Air Force of A-10s and F-22s. Nice. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Incidentally, the internet seems to be full of folks buying Brown/Wilson/etc guns then bragging about how accurate they are by posting 2 inch groups shot at 10 yards. Then some other dope congratulates them on their purchase and great shooting. These same idiots will then go on about how inaccurate those damn Glocks are.... I'm busdriver and I'm a 1911 addict, but some folks need to buy more bullets and less guns. ETA: 2 inches is generous usually

Very cool. Old guns are interesting on so many levels. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

The family grows....

dayman got me thinking about a compensator so I impulse bought this off Amazon. Since it has to clear the barrel, the hole in the front is huge (area around the bullet is about the same as the bore itself) so it doesn't actually do all that much. But it looks cool like I'm the Punisher. Shooting lightweight bullets with slow burning powder it does reduce muzzle flip a bit, it works really well as a flash suppressor though. For the re-loaders out there, power pistol behind 185g bullets makes for impressive muzzle blast.

At the risk of derailing this thread; we just had this discussion at work recently: what makes RPAs different than every other aircraft in the Air Force? Why are enlisted or WO pilots ok there but not in F-16s? At the end of the day I think the sticking point isn't can person X be a pilot, both have been in the past; but rather what does that mean for the personnel system, the AF leadership system, squadron dynamic and culture?

You'd have to figure out the fuel burn at lower altitude vs range gained, etc. I'm sure you can find a tanker patch that's done lower altitude stuff with AFSOC. Look up a radar nomograph to see what the curve of the earth does.

I'm digging the 1911 things.......so I decided to build my own. Still waiting on a couple parts to fix what I fucked up but thought I'd share. ETA: Finished, probably could have done a better job stripping my first bluing attempt off. I think that's what caused the splotches in the second picture. The rust bluing was such a pain in the ass that I'm gonna call it good enough for my first build. Time to start plotting my second, gonna be a bobtail commander I think.

The new EP pod is so close you should be tasting it

Haters gonna hate......

I see what you did there, fucker.

Spoo, how's that light working out? TRP report: 3k rounds, still only the one magazine related failure to feed. Springfield makes a good product!

wait, what? Those dirty bastards!

Reloading rile is not a path I'v gone down yet, for that exact reason. Maybe once the turret press has paid for itself, then it's Dillon progressive time......

Got a new toy, range time later tonight... ETA: The vestigial sights make accurate shooting a "challenge," but fun as hell doing my best gum-shoe impression at close range.

Ha! Dear, Doctor, same same....

^^ NICE Dr Hoppe's 9, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore all these years. It's just that CLP was all sexy in her does everything sort of way. It turns out she just doesn't work much, you're such a better cleaner. I mean sure you give me a headache at times, but we can work through that, please take me back. busdriver

Ultrasonic cleaner review: Bought for cleaning cases to reload. It works, but it's even better for cleaning dies, bolt carriers, etc.

T-minus, until some politician with an axe to grind says something dumb about not allowing a $5k, 20lb, semi-automatic rifle be legal....... Yes, I made up the cost.

Looked it up on the google machine. Didn't realize how big it is...

Your dislexia is mixing aircraft on you.

Not a fan of the xbox controller? I would have thought it'd be super intuitive.
