    Can't Get The Light View Back

    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...

    Can't Get The Light View Back

    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...

    For Glock people - Glock 44?

    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...

    For Glock people - Glock 44?

    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...

    NYGF Small change to the forum/subforum lineup that I think should help.

    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...

    S333 Thunderstruck Revolver

    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...

    Stolen Army Assault Rifles Keep Showing Up In California

    "AK-74s are similar to their more famous cousin, the AK-47. Every two seconds, they shoot three bullets.

    Is gifting a handgun a thing?

    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...

    Mini-14 Mags stored for over a year

    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 need a crossbow. I know near nothing of them.

    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...

    I need a crossbow. I know near nothing of them.

    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...

    7 rural counties in Oregon voted in favor of effort to secede from the blue state and join Idaho

    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.

    NY penal law 265.05 ... Am I reading this right ... 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...

    A SuperSAFE AK

    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...

    A SuperSAFE AK

    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 need a crossbow. I know near nothing of them.

    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.

    Is it too much to expect a handgun be shipped ffrom the manufacturer with its integrated Laser zeroed in ?

    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...
