That's been a much more recent and frequent occurrence. Every week when attending church. I just carry my "whatever" (Glock 19 / 1911 / etc) in my usual manner in an IWB holster. Coat stays on, my suit is not tailored to cling to "my athletic body" (Ha!), so it does not print. If I am going...

My last time to wear a tux was at my own wedding many, many, many years ago.

I don't know off the top of my head, but it sounds like you're referring to A5 length buffers rather than the carbine length buffers ??? It's a question framed as a statement.... I know. LOL UPDATE: Well, I went and looked it up on Spike's website. It IS a carbine length buffer. Aluminum...

Tell us all how you really feel! LOL. I developed the "TDMTLA" acronym as a self-defense mechanism over many years in the information technology field where the meeting presenter would start spewing acronyms as if everyone was up to speed on the subject matter at hand. I would simply raise...

I've watched the entire thing. Coming from a farming rural background, much of what he postulates is very well reasoned.

Tungsten is just tungsten and steel is just steel, especially when it comes to weights. As far as the buffer body itself, there is a mil-spec for that, and also for the plastic tip and intra-buffer pads. So I try to purchase from quality suppliers when I intend to use the buffer body and tip...

Glad to know that I'm not the only one afflicted by TDMTLAs (Too D**n Many Three Letter Acronyms).

Yeah. The "sudden popularity" of Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) has revealed what many have known for years: the buffer weight in most ARs is too light. Couple that with any number of other build deficiencies, drop in an FRT, and you have yourself a jam-o-matic. Most of the time a heavy buffer...

Thank you also for adding information to this post. I'm aware of these factors, as well as the potential effects of alloy additives. I understand that cap-and-ball revolvers "like" as close to pure, unalloyed lead as possible. It's just that sourcing "pure lead" requires purchase from sources...

Thank you for adding info to this post. I was thinking I'd read .375" to .380", thus the range I put into my posting. I'd not really read about or thought about differing cast diameters for round balls vs conicals. Considering what you mention below, however, makes complete sense. My...

I am in the process of rounding up the molds and other equipment that I'll need to cast my own projectiles in the (hopefully) near future. I'm focusing on casting for 38 Special / 357 Magnum and possibly getting into black powder cap & ball 36 caliber revolvers. To that end, I have purchased...

There was a definite "reorientation for PC purposes" in the plots of 24 episodes as time progressed. And it was NOT subtle, not one little bit. Ditto for The Unit re: PC reorientation and pretty thin plots. It's kind of sad when a good "thriller" series gets "milked into oblivion" instead of...

Yes, I do. I heard about the series via a workplace conversation. I rushed to "catch up" and then faithfully watched through the end of the series... It was mostly a very enjoyable "thriller series", although, like many TV series, in my opinion, they got lax in their script writing efforts...

OK. I'll jump in here. The 1911 is like.... That old faithful, somewhat beat up and weathered working truck that just keeps on running and doing its job, day in and day out

Or bungee strap on a gas powered generator....
