This is for all the AR lovers out there AND just a bit of proof for the AK lovers!

I read a lot of post about how AR's are inferior guns due to the fact that they are DI driven and sensitive to dust. Here is a little proof that you shouldn't beleive everything that you hear. But, you CAN believe what you see.

BTW im not knocking AK's. They are good guns. Cheap, but good.









With all the piston talk about AR's and the DI system being dirty.... you should check out this post by Nutnfancy. Granted the video is a bit on the long side, and it seems the price of piston conversions are coming down, but he shows that piston guns have thier problems too. I know that my AR gets a little hot in the lower reciever, but I personaly would rather have the heat there than on the handgaurd.

I guess that is one problem of having a "big ol' metal quad cool rail" on the forgrip.... Handy... But hot.



Discuss.

May I join in?

After a run like this I don't blame him if he never picks up a gun again!!!

Go out on top I allways say! Impressive!

Steel Plate Shoot at Pickaway Sportsman Club

This Saturday I was invited to go to Circleville, Ohio with a couple of friends and try my hand at steel plate shooting.

It was a cold morning, I think it only got to 45 degrees for the whole day, but never the less I was excited.



I decided that my best bet was to take my Beretta 92 FS Onix to the shoot. I had plenty of 9 mm ammo and it seemed like the best choice out of all the pistols I have.



It turns out that this one didn't make the cut. See at the top left where the safety switch is? Well it turns out that if your gun has a safety it has to be used when you re-holster your weapon. SO.. When you draw you have to release the safety, aim then fire. The safety on this gun is VERY hard to flip off during a draw.

Also there is no cocked and locked option with the Beretta 92FS.

After you do get the safety off you have to fire the first shot Double Action Only. Then it goes to single action after the first round.... So, for me, the first shot was hard and usually a miss.

The gun ran great. I didn't have any jams at all, but considering all that I had to go through to get the shot off I don't think I'll use it again. Put that on top of it being my first time, the range officer giving me direction from time to time due to small mistakes I was making, and the general nervousness that I was feeling with all eyes on me while shooting, I didn't want to mess with a stupid safety and a DAO trigger pull on the first shot.

That being said. I plan on getting a different pistol for the next time I shoot. I'm leaning towards a Glock 17 or a Springfield XD-9. I'm not sure, but that won't happen any time soon. Gotta get some of my debt in check first..... Just add it to my growing want list I guess!

Below is a couple of videos I had taken with my phone. The quality isn't the best but it serves the purpose!

I would love to have any feedback if you have any experiance in shooting events like this. Tips or links would be great!






Here's Pete, the guy that invited me to the shoot, tearing up the steel. you can check out his take on the shoot at Huey's Gunsite.


The next 2 are me trying my best. The first one is the best because, as Pete can attest to, you should probably keep your sleeves and collars away from me when I'm shooting.... My brass is HOT and it seems to always find its way to some unsuspecting victims skin!!!

I got him a couple times in the past, and Range Officer got his too!!

More Motivation!

The Importance of Minding your Own Buisness...

How I learned to mind my own business.

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day.

All the patients were shouting, '13....13....13.'

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little knot hole in the planks, so I looked through to see what the hell was going on.....
























Some crazy bastard poked me in the eye with a stick!

Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'...

Company of Thieves

I know I haven't posted for a while. Honestly, I haven't really had much to say. Coming from me that can definitely be a good thing. However, I did want to say that for some reason I cant get enough of this song. Originally, i heard it on CD 101 and I've been hooked on it since. The studio version is really good, but I think you can really tell if a band is good if they can perform it on stage. They do a good job on this performance.

Check it yo!!!!
