That's pretty much how the book read. I still need to go see it, haven't had time with all the Christmas cards we've been printing at work. :wall:

Pretty much as blue said. Learn to shoot the pistol without it, else it will become a crutch that will hinder your progress. Lasers are also useful for dry firing drills as you can see precisely how much your input to the pistol is affecting your POI.

Teehee

If I can (eventually) do it anyone can.

I kinda still wished we had checked the cardboard targets after each round to see where we hit. Hitting steel only tells you so much (even if we were railing on it every time).

Or you could just man up and quit missing things at 50yds.

Bueno.

YOU MEAN YOU DON'T?!?!

My FNP was easily the softest recoiling .40 I had shot and was just as accurate as your FNX. You really can't go wrong with these pistols. I can't wait to try out one of the FNS pistols. It's on my super short list of things to add to the safe.

Ok, ok. That was low, I know had to have struck a nerve.

I thought that might spark someone's interest.

Really depends on what kind of distance you're looking at shooting. For general shooting a fixed 3x or 4x optic will probably do you fine out to 100yds and maybe beyond depending on how bad your vision is (I share your pain).

As far as what brand to go with, I'll let the glass experts speak on that.

Yeah, that's what burns me, too. It'd be one thing if they pulled it because they believed it to be "unethical", I can kinda understand that as everyone is entitled to their own personal beliefs/opinions, but the fact they specifically said what he was doing was "illegal" proves that they don't know...

Well this bodes well...

The recoil impulse and grip mechanics of the FsN are quite different from any other pistol out there and takes practice getting used to. So long as your groupings are consistent, you can ...

Starting on the NRA website is a good idea. They list all their licensed instructors there and let you contact them to set up any kind of one-on-on training.

Hmm, perhaps one of the feed lips on the mag is slightly bent?

Push up as in when inserting the fresh mag into the receiver? I've noticed that the mags sometimes won't seat right with the bolt forward. Try locking it back and see if that helps.

That's your new tagline, Jay: "Will it penetrate?"

Well that's good. While the convenience of being able to get my case with the rest of my luggage was nice, I appreciate the extra bit of security of being able to personally collect my case instead of just anybody being able to grab it off the belt.

Good advice here so far. Just make sure to use a TSA approved lock. If you put the hard case in your soft luggage, yes. Otherwise if you're able to check your case by itself use as stout a lock as you want since the TSA cannot legally open the hard case without you present or they possibly get to e...

I feel cheated, it's not pink.

Good stuff. Can't wait to see your results.

I carry a hiking buddy who runs slower than me.

I realize that, which is why I felt inclined to voice my own.

I don't have anything more to say on that in matter in the open so I will move past that and back to the discussion.

General rule of thumb for P90 mags (especially when being used in an AR57) is that FN manufactured ones are best.

Seeing that these are 10 bucks I wager you'll get about 10 bucks' worth of reliability out of them.

I like that color. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Yeah you got it on the edit.

I don't get why people always complain about nuggets. I ran a nugget against my friend's SMLE on a dueling tree and after 4 clips I finally won (that last swinger was a jerk) and wasn't sore or bruised. And I'm one skinny mf'er, too.

It also doubles as an entrenching tool!

I did the same with mine, forgot to mention that. If I'm to be critical of anything about my experience with the light so far it's that the velcro on the belt pouch wore out.

Mk23

Hahahahahahahahah let me know how that goes for you.

Seriously, though, the Mk23 is a MASSIVE gun and will be no more effective in a duty situation than a standard sized USP. In fact, due to its size and weight it may actually be worse than a standard USP.

I still say the only reason congress wants access to Romney's tax records are to see how to fill out the forms since they've obviously never had to themselves.

Yeah, that's gonna break.

It's because the FsN is too HSLD for it's own good. It sheds everything it doesn't need.

PainKillaX wrote:Once upon a time wasn't there something about rail-mounted scope mounts causing too much stress to the rail?

Yup.

I think Jay tested it with an aimpoint or something and it ended up breaking the slide cover and did some damage to the slide itself as well.

Here it is.

Nuts. How far did it penetrate?

SWFA or Millett are really the best bang for your buck in that price range. Maybe Falcon if you can find one that cheap.

Just because the same projectile can be used for multiple calibers doesn't mean they have to make a finished round for that caliber. If they did they'd probably be out of business.
