Situational awareness - shop owner was monitoring his security cams and was prepared to act accordingly when faced with a deadly physical force situation.
Agreed. These "auditors" have been around for some time now. The proper response on how to deal with this should have been covered during an in service training day. Unfortunately there are still agencies out there that fall below that standard for training.
Not exactly. Look at the data from the USPSA from some of the major matches and I think you'll find there are other quality options out there, in addition to just the SRO.
The Gov has effectively eliminated all conceal carry in NY. I wonder how long this has been sitting on the sideline in anticipation of the recent ruling of the SCOTUS. This vindictive legislation makes the SAFE Act appear tame.
Sadly this is becoming worse on a daily basis. We are now perceived as weak on a global stage, absent of true leadership. We can only hope the midterms this fall will start to turn the tide.
I find it amusing the mainstream media has gone largely quiet on the story. This has the potential to be far bigger than Watergate ever was. Credible allegations of spying on a presidential candidate , followed by spying on a sitting president. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
As mentioned above, do yourself a favor and check out Kore Essentials. I have two of them and they both see heavy use. Everyone I know that has purchased them also has been happy with the product line.
As mentioned above, check out the links posted. This will give you an idea of the course of fire and what to expect. There are matches hosted around the country, this upcoming season there will be two here in NY. Unlike a USPSA match, there is no movement required. Ultimately your score is...
Amazing the media refuses to pressure the Biden Admin on these numbers. Hyper focus on Covid with travel bans now in place, yet an open border to the south where apparently Covid is a non issue.
Can't help but think Baldwin was coached prior to this interview. With that being said, I believe the advise given him did nothing to further his cause. Many now view him as the master of deflection. In the end it was him that failed to check the gun properly and ultimately discharged same...
Based on what I've been seeing over the past week or so I would tend to agree. 9mm is no longer flying off the shelves at .60/rd, and prices are gradually decreasing. Inventory is slowly starting to come back, and hopefully this will be the beginning of the return to "normalcy".
Not sure I would call that a bias. Many companies offer police / military a discount on their products or services. One way of saying thank you for your service.
Interesting thread, and I can only speak to Wolcott as a pre pandemic consumer. I was a frequent supporter of the range/store, often purchasing supplies of anything firearm related. In addition, Ken would host a practical shoot every other Fri nite that was well attended and appreciated...
Jerry is truly a legend in the shooting sports. I have some friends that have shot with him at matches and say he is truly a great guy, always willing to help others. Would love to take a class with him if ever afforded the opportunity.
This will be the issue going forward this season. Even those of us that had a decent stockpile and/or reloading components will be faced with a shortage. My hunch is steel challenge will become more popular since at least you can shoot a rimfire platform.
You're right, that's about double what one would normally sell for. During these times, I feel some people are just casting the net and see what they catch. I routinely see 9mm now at $30/box, 3X what I was paying simply 12 months ago.
They've been selling that at $30/box for months now. Agreed, I will not pay those prices either. I suppose for someone that has zero inventory it may be worth picking up a box or two.
Funny you mention Runnings in Lockport. I was up that way a couple months back and couldn't help but notice a clerk in firearms that was full of himself. Not sure if it was the same person you encountered, but sure seems likely.
Interesting and tragic to say the least. Can't help but think if the skin color was reversed, Rev Al would be demanding justice and looting in the streets once again would prevail. Yet here we are, and all but crickets from the mainstream media.
The Sig 320 X5 Legion has really grown in popularity with competitive pistol shooters. I switched over to this platform last season after shooting Glock for years. The price tag will fit in your budget, and being 9mm ammo will be plentiful and reasonable.
Used BreakFree CLP for years. Probably around 5 yrs ago switched over to Ballistol and have been very happy with it and no issues with reliability or functioning of any firearms.
As mentioned above, Double Alpha has a decent product line. Also, Blade Tech in my opinion offers a very good product at an attractive price point. You'll find most guys are eager to discuss what they like or don't, check out some of the rigs they are using and this will also help you in your...
I'll add my two cents again to this thread. Taran is a high profile shooter that has done quite well in the competitive arena and promoting his business as the recognized trainer to the stars. The young girl in question was a teenager at the time of the video, and also the daughter of his...
It is not my opinion to judge his actions, but I believe this will damage the reputation of Taran and the business he has worked very hard to build over time.
