Interested shooters.
Neat stuff. Gadgets and how-to's.
Sarcasm is one thing but blowhards get the exit.
A fun exercise to educate, teach, show off yer stuff maybe.

I got a Ruger 57 a little while ago.
It's a cool little shooter but I was wondering if anyone had experience with it's companion piece.

I don't have a 1911. EDC is a bitch with those. Great house gun though.
But it's what you get used to in the long run.

I bought an SKS for $89 years ago.
Should have bought a trunkful.
$649 now... Mine is exactly like this one. It's a workhorse.

You just need a good holster.

Basically it's getting used to the weight. Then there's the "getting dressed" every day.
The simpler, the better. Shoulder holsters carry these pretty well but they're a pain sometimes.
OWB is simpler but compacts work better for that. 1911's aren't compact.

That's a good challenge.

I see at least 3 1911's and a Glock.Skans » 10 Jan 2023, 11:51 am » wrote: ↑ That's a good challenge, let me see if I can guess them clockwise, starting at 12:00:
- AK - semi-auto variant. Legally a pistol, perhaps?

- Glock 9mm
- Sig 9mm
- Armscor 45
- Colt 1911 - blue grips
- Kimber 1911
The little guy on the right, who knows?
There are LOTS of compacts out there.
I want to get rid of a couple and get some companion sets going.
Glock will be another area to check. Lots of choices out there for compatible magazines and stuff.

There was a guy selling a "reamer" of some kind that would take a .223 caliber spec up to 5.56mm spec.
The pressures can exceed the max spec in a .223 weapon using 5.56 ammo.
People think they are interchangeable but technically not.
5.56 specs a tad bit larger. Maybe head space tolerances come into play as well.
If you have a .223 rifle at the low end of tolerance, the 5.56 ammo will fit, fire, cycle but the pressures can be high.
Even though it's only a few ten thousandths, damage (and or injury) can result.
It is a small diameter after all.
So this guy (in Michigan I believe) was selling this clean-out tool for way too much money.
A little grinder in the shape and size of a NATO 5.56 round.
Anybody heard of this tool out there?

That's the guy. Thanks!
So, would you pay $250.00 for a tool that may or may not be needed?
His description only talks about popped primers but I've done a bit of research in the past.
Popped primers weren't the only thing.
Damage to the barrel and eventual fatigue that may not even be apparent until something breaks.
I may try to get buddies to share the price and ownership of this little gem.
It just seems overpriced as hell for personal use. A little gouged...

How can you tell, it's such a crummy image.

Is that a machine gun?
10 Feb 2023 2:54 pm
It is a gun.
And is a mechanical object, ergo, a machine.
Like a can opener. Only louder.

Some were wrong.
Is that an AK at the top?
11 Feb 2023 11:11 am
Thanks. I too saw the three 1911 pistols and at least two Glocks. I used to have a Glock but the lack of an external safety made me switch to the 1911. And sometimes a revolver.Skans » 11 Feb 2023, 12:05 pm » wrote: ↑
I think I got more than half of them correct. Some were wrong.
Clearly there is an AK at the top. There are 3 1911's. I believe one or two glocks. And, I think I guessed at the pistol to the far right. Of the 1911's, the one with the blue grips appears to have a colt logo on the grips.

I prefer DAO or DA/SA for a carry gun, as I keep one in the pipe.
My cousin has a 45 Glock with a safety that blocks the little thingy in front of the trigger from being pressed.

Below was what I was referring to - a traditional manual safety:murdock » 11 Feb 2023, 1:01 pm » wrote: ↑ My cousin has a 45 Glock with a safety that blocks the little thingy in front of the trigger from being pressed.
