    Turning in my ballot today.

    I also worry that it tips our hand as to how many ballots the democrats need to print on election night.

    Turning in my ballot today.

    Your vote isn't pointless. It doesn't carry near as much weight as a swing state vote does but like I said it is still important to get Trump as many popular votes as possible.

    Turning in my ballot today.

    I think after how things went down last election the Trump campaign wants to get off to an early start with as many votes as possible from the outset. Frankly I don't think it was the actual mail in ballots that sank him last time but the democrat fraud. Nevertheless if the Trump campaign...

    Turning in my ballot today.

    NY Trump votes can have meaning: if Trump wins the left will again point to the discrepancy between the electoral and popular vote as reason to challenge the results and to continue their crusade against the electoral college. The narrower that discrepancy the weaker their arguments are. God...

    Turning in my ballot today.

    The Trump campaign has been pushing hard for people to vote early so while I'd rather vote in person on the 5th I am defering to his campaigns wishes: I am taking it to the local election office personally despite it being 23 miles away. As a Pennsylvania voter holding this ballot feels a...

    Do not buy ScalarWorks scope mounts

    I don't want a replacement mount, nor do I have time to be gaslit about improper torque. It's a bad design, I don't want it on my rifle. I never liked the rail attachment method either.

    Desert Eagle 50 AE and ammo types

    The Desert Eagle being a gas operated gun the issue with unjacketed lead bullets would be in regards to fouling the gas port. So like customer service said any projectile in which lead does not come into contact with the rifling would be fine.

    Do not buy ScalarWorks scope mounts

    I bought this mount years ago, the receipt is long gone, I'm not even 100% sure where I got it from, trying to get any kind of refund seems pointless now. I'm just moving on here.

    Smith & Wesson managed to fix my revolver.......after an age

    No money for .357 ammo last week but I spent a lot of time working on my drawstoke and reloads. My reload time is down to about 5 seconds. It's easy to try to go too fast and end up fumbling it.

    Do not buy ScalarWorks scope mounts

    American product made in America from American materials. Material is 7075 aluminum which is not indestructible, the hinges are just too thin. Manufacturer torque spec is 21 in/lbs which I ensured with my torque driver. This mount cost $399!! It's replacement is half that but with a...

    Do not buy ScalarWorks scope mounts

    They are garbage! Apparently I am late to the party with this revelation but here it is anyways. The problem is that the hinges fail. These are very expensive mounts too, $400 or so! I am replacing it with a mount from Midwest Industries.

    Thank you. Honestly though not a gigantic fan of the grips. A little too fat. The VZ grips I want are out of stock but when available I will get them. The N frame VZs I got my mistake do actually fit somewhat but not quite, I was able to put them in and hold them in hand. The VZ ones are...

    Smith & Wesson managed to fix my revolver.......after an age

    As you can see it conceals very well under just a light vest, it's quite comfortable too except when seated in a car where it digs in a bit. The holster is a basic one from 1791 Gunleather, thumbbreak is due to my wanting it for woods hiking and being a heavier gun I wouldn't trust it to stay...

    Little update: While I got off to a rocky start with the L-Comp I have since developed a love affair with the thing. I shoot it very accurately, it hasn't skipped a beat since I got it back. I have also been carrying regularly:

    Ridiculous or Not - SOCOM 458 (30 rounder)

    Bullet weights for .458 SOCOM get as high as 600gr. Basically it's a 45-70 in an AR. My question is who the hell can afford to load up a drum full of the stuff these days?! And that type drum is both expensive and fragile, drop one loaded onto hard ground and it will break. Don't ask me how...

    Not quite so sunny but a very gunny Sunday nevertheless. Yes I fired some of the 357s from the 340PD, no the recoil isn't as bad as everyone says, yes it is unpleasant. And yes, I did fire the two akimbo at some point.

    I hate the way our justice system works. Of course there should always be an investigation, but why have "preliminary" charges?! Do the fucking investigation THEN make whatever charges are appropriate, if any. Goddamn look before you leap fucking trigger happy legal cunts! There is no justice...

    So I have been wearing the L-Comp in it's holster continuously since 12 noon today, ran some errands, got my hair cut, bought some more 357 ammo, groceries ect. Cover garment was just a light shackit. If you go on YouTube, Google or what have you regarding using an L frame as a CCW you...

    Advice on revolver reload technique

    So we all seem to prefer the Ayoob style strong side reload then. Okey doke, that's the method I'll start working with. I should be able to keep a pouch right next to the holster. In fact I ordered a very unique type pouch that clips onto, behind and above the belt and orients the speed...

    Smith & Wesson managed to fix my revolver.......after an age

    Yes, I have also considered a gold bead sight as an alternative. There is one from SDM that would fit the bill. I am also planning on getting the Brownells Competition Rear Sight Blade to pair with it. This item would provide a deeper, slightly wider rrear notch and I think these two items...

    All you revolver guys I am looking for opinions on what you prefer in terms of reloading techniques for defensive shooting situations.

    Smith & Wesson managed to fix my revolver.......after an age

    I wouldn't at all say that I am "used to" shooting 357s out of the 340. I shot a 50 round box of .357s on it's inaugural range trip and a cylinder's worth once since. I mostly shoot .38s out of it, indeed .38 Special +Ps are what I carry in it. While I didn't find .357 recoil from the...

    I left it home, just wanted to bring 1 ammo can and it was filled with .357 and .22s. But you are right, I should bring out the 340 whenever I bring the L-Comp. I still have 200 rounds of .38, I'll bring the 340 out later this week.

I have a further 200 rounds of Magtech .38 Specials also but I'm thinking I should be saving...

    Indeed. Revolvers do seem to be more fun to shoot for some reason. Another pdd thing I noticed was that when I shot my 5 shot 340 I was always taken by how fast 5 rounds went, It didn't feel like enough like thw fun eneded too soon. Despite having only two additional rounds I didn't get that...
