Re: What’s for dinner? Cooking Thread!

How did Texans get to decide that THEY and ONLY they, were the sacred keepers of what's chili (or BBQ), and what's not? Texans don't like beans in their chili, BIG FREAKIN DEAL. There are a lot more non-texans than Texans. Goes well with an axiom I love sharing... You can always tell a Texan, you j...

Re: Ruger Picture Thread!

Ruger has zero debt but had to shake a take over bid and buy Marlin in the past few years My guess they are gonna concentrate on low cost 4in plastic 9mm semi autos. Building revolvers and precision rifles requires precision machining and a high skill workforce. I dont believe for an instant Ruger i...

Fluid strainers. Aka oil filters
I know how they are supposed to work. Designing one might be a messy task? Building one i dont know how. i dont want one made from plastic. So ill probably stick to the commercial products. Local range has been selling them out the day they get more stock.

If the suppressor issue is resolved to not require any fed forms or fees. Will anything happen when someone publicly posts the CNC code to machine a suppressor or will they be legally connected to the firearm industry?

Re: Glock "Gas Pedal", thoughts?

I think it’s another gimmick and a crutch like other stuff. If grip and support hand do not move a sloppy trigger doesnt much matter. Get the grip and support hand positions wired to muscle memory and you are good. Yea i know easier said than done particularly when moving from one gun to another. If...

Re: Glock "Gas Pedal", thoughts?

One recent bit of coaching from a local instructor is to keep the forward thumb (support hand) higher than the rear thumb to better control the muzzle rise. That device may help? I havent seen it installed.

Or just go with a new Staccato with a ported barrel 👍
