Figured I'd reopen the HCC threads for a 1k rounds contest with ammo scarce as it is.
Entry: (just needs name and email): Night Fision No Show '21 Giveaway
There have been no posts deleted in this thread. I checked glancing at your history and didn't see any posts deleted at least within the last few months (I only looked back that far).
OK, I think I got it fixed to where dark is now the default and the lightbulb works. Let me know if there are any issues.
Holy cow.. I was so frustrated trying to figure it out that I was absolutely furious for a bit there. Turns out it was an error where a number 26 should have been a number...
What happened is we (well, I) changed the dark mode to be the default to people not signed in. Something must have gone screwy with the changer. I'll figure it out and fix it.
It's back to normal right now, with light as the default and the bulb works.. but I'm having a hell of time trying to...
Well.. I kind of both do and don't get that.
Like.. in the case of a heritage or a single-six or whatever, I get how having a "cowboy" gun is something that maybe doesn't need to perform as optimally as something else but is different and fun. It's a different kind/style of shooting that can be...
I'm not a Glock person at all, but in any case I'd probably think a conversion kit (as @218bee mentions) might be the better way to go in this particular case. Less expensive, and don't need to go through whatever process your county has of adding another pistol (though your county might require...
I saw this sale posted elsewhere on the internets. I dunno, seems way cooler than a machete if you've got some bushwhacking to do.
Condor Tool & Knife Royal Falchion
Over time I've had some people, and people I respect here, say to me that the Ranges, Competition & Training forum was a bit over-saturated with listings from training classes and it crowded out other kinds of posts there. For a long time, I must admit I replied to them with something like (I'm...
Agreed. Gimmick, and a dumb one in design and performance.
Just looking at it I'd guess at various issues, but a google search (initially looking for data on bbl and energy generated) brings up a review write-up that confirms much of the things I'd presuppose. I can even still think of a couple...
No, we didn't and don't Mr. Psycho.. er.. I mean Terzmo.
1 of your 14 duplicate sale threads is still up. 14 duplicates over time.. that's just worth saying twice. I discovered this when you started the same thread again while one was not many posts down and still on the front page of the...
"AK-74s are similar to their more famous cousin, the AK-47. Every two seconds, they shoot three bullets. Because of how rapidly they fire, civilians cannot legally possess them in the United States without a license. "
What ? Where did they even get that number from ? They're clearly referring...
I've told a story about co-own/co-permit in greater detail somewhere on here I think (or maybe it was the old place), but the short version is.. I know a guy who had all his pistols co-permitted with his best bud. They thought this was a good idea; simply in that if something bad happened to one...
That is very odd. Are they stock Ruger mags ? I might expect something like that from (the un-aptly named) Pro-Mags or somesuch.
I've used milsurp mags that were stored loaded for 20+ years and had them cycle just fine. If you're getting that from just over a single year, there's something...
I was fully prepared to get all uppity and pissy if they were really shooting while drinking. It's just airsoft though.. so, meh.
Well, actually I'm still going to be a little uppity about the intro pic. These guys are jackasses.
Note: Generally the whole point of this sub-forum is for contests which are for sure open to NY'ers. In this case I can't be positive. The rules don't say they won't send to NY so I'm posting it.

WTF is going on lately... ?
I'm tempted to go up to some bangers and ask where they're getting all the ammo from.
Typically terrible midhudsonnews.com article. "A thing happened. Details aren't our thing"
Doing just a little research, I'm not certain you can get it anymore. Looks like they discontinued it quite some while ago and changed the name to the TAC Ordnance , but that may have been discontinued also. Not certain.
EDIT: Ah here we go...
They're pretty expensive for what you get, but there is certainly an advantage when familiar with that platform and in only needing to transport the upper around in addition to one's primary weapon (if that's an AR). There's also a TAC Elite which isn't just an upper but a full x-bow that's very...
Already shown in posts #23 and #28 here - May not have realized what it was without a closer look though because they don't look much different than any other x-box when it's on.

That all sounds good. People of course would have to be willing to do that maintenance/cleanup. It would be even more relying on people but perhaps also the person who takes something, instead of posting "I'll take ___" could, after PM'ing the giver and setting it up post "Took whatever" , and...
We've all seen this before. Every green county in this picture passed some kind of resolution that they were against NY SAFE.
My reaction to this story is much the same. That's nice. Doesn't mean or do anything, but that's nice.
Riiiight.. I guess I must just be inexperienced. NYGF, ever well and deeply grounded by the weight of expertise from the power couple of highly trained specialists ..lol
The 'ignored' laws are some of the most dangerous kind in a way. The things that are 'allowed' imply things are legal behavior, until such time as the now unknown/un-implied laws are suddenly enforced when it suits 'them' to serve some more underhanded and unscrupulous purpose.
A way IN to...
Nice on the ID. As for the second bit, I personally don't agree with you. I stress the 'personally' part, as I do also clearly see how an argument could be made. I feel one would be 'solving' the problem while losing the benefits that not having the obstruction issues of AK style rifle pattern...
Regardless of the stock, what's up with that wacky mag ? It's clearly not a standard mag, with that oddly shaped..floor plate... thing.
If it's a just a 10 round mag made to look full size.. I don't get that.
I have a lot of these stories/regrets; enough so that for the most part I don't remember them individually.
Here's one that stands out though. This one has bothered me tremendously for more than 20 years.
I don't remember the year exactly (it does kind of matter in explaining how this...
I don't know much about them. I had one once when I was fairly young. It was a Barnett Demon Compound. It was hard to draw (at that age) and much too overpowered for the use I had for. If my memory is right (this was a LONG time ago), it would send bolts though like three archery targets and...
I do wish there were a better way of keeping track of things here, but I don't really have any good ideas on how to go about it.
Maybe people just editing posts to say something is taken. I've been thinking in the lines of more technical solutions, but I guess that's easy enough.
I guess all I can say really is that it's very much not for me. I simply don't leave the house in anything other than slacks w/belt and a button down shirt. Either an un-tucked shirt or a vest/jacket (suit types) generally covers hip OWB. People sometimes think I'm dressed up. I'm not, that's...
I suppose I'd answer that with a resounding.. meh. Yeah, when you're paying the price of a gun I suppose they should do it, but not a big deal and you may want to set it for a different vertical height/distance than they would assume anyway.
I have a very similar (but removable) kind of laser...
I usually carry with the Hornady myself. Ammo is scarce certainly, but too bad we live so far apart or I'd be willing to run a few experiment mags with you with those and maybe some other types. I have some PDX Defender 124gr +P laying around too.
I think you've convinced me to pick a couple up...
Great ! Good info. I at least am very interested in your results. I know for sure there are multiple people on here who carry P938s. Please keep us up to date on future testing of other ammo and such.
