I have a couple of Standard Horizon HX270S radios. They normally get me 2-3 miles.

I was expecting to get at least the same range and coverage as my handheld VHF radio. Not so. When I'm fishing on the lake, I can talk to my house 1 mile away. I can not do that with the HAM handheld, and you're not supposed to use the VHF unless you are on the water. I was looking for an...

Got our tech licenses, bought a couple of handhelds, and found out they're useless when you live in a valley. In order to get a repeater, I have to drive up to the top of the mountain. If I need to do that, I might as well drive a little further to the Fire Dept, have a cup of coffee and say...

Not meaning to insult anyone, but If you're looking to get into another expensive hobby, then great. Getting into HAM is akin to joining a Civil War Re-enactment club. You learn how things were done in the old days. There is no modern practical use for it; they don't even require Morse Code...

Just a minute or two over an hour, but a great place and doing a membership drive now. https://www.dcpistol.org/

Why is he not asking Cumo for National Guard then? Is it because he doesn't have to pay them like he might the Guard?

Just remember that dual residency means paying income taxes in two states.

I'll take the Ruger PCC9 , PM sent

Is the Ruger a take down? Threaded barrel?

So what if... Biden wins the Primaries and Bloomberg is his VP pick? Think of the millions in ads now. They win the election, that would be interesting. Biden falls apart in office and Bloomberg becomes president. :oops:

Thanks everyone. I was out of town for the week on a no electronics vacation. Man, I love those. Now I have to spend a week answering emails o_O I'll post pictures in a few days. Saltwater60, I'll get back to you.

Thanks all. I looked up the serial number on the Colt site. They say it's a Model 1860 Colt Army made in 1862. I was hoping to find someone to give me a value in it's current condition, so I can sell it. I know if I take it apart and get it working, I'm gonna have to keep it :).

Anybody know someone or have experience fixing black powder revolvers? It's is a 3 screw model missing one screw and the hammer won't stay back. I want to sell it, but I know it's worth more if it's functional.

LOL, love that DEEP well video. Great idea, but 30' = deep well? I don't think so. That would mean I have a deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep well :ROFL:

Don't get sucked into the game. Any $50 3x9 scope on a .22 will do the job for hunting. For Criss Sake, what are you shooting fifty yards max. I have $50 air-gun scopes with side parallax adjustments on all my hunting 22's including the airguns...

lake George area or long Island. I'm in both places on a regular basis

Thanks for the link. After reading the whole thing, I was comparing apples to oranges. I was talking about the ballistics of the bullet, he was talking about sighting irons or optics with a 2 MOA dot 2.5" above the bore. It makes sense now. Although sighting at 20 yds would give you a PBR about...

Let's face it, everything is a technicality. We will never get clarification. All you can do is find something that you're willing to take a chance with. I say no go because you still have a pistol grip attached. The fact that it's blocked by the metal fin doesn't change the fact that a pistol...

If your 25yd target and 100 yd target are the same height off the ground, that is ballistically impossible. With a 25 yd zero you would be almost 10 inches low at 100yds. with normal 1300FPS out of a carbine. I don't know how he got those numbers, but you would need to be over 1800FPS at 25 yds...

Has to be a bad case of cut and paste from some other round mixed in his article. 115 gr 9mm zero'd at 25 yds never goes above 0.14" of centerline Zero at 100 yds peaks at 3" @ 50 yds.

Facial recognition at night at 50 meters? Not happening. What's the budget? Or is this all hypothetical? Figure 100lbs for the battery system and metallic conduit to go up to camera, if the area is remote, how will you secure this from the people you are recording. A picture of the area is...

I think your way over thinking this. 150 feet is an easy distance for most cameras. Why not run a POE cable to a camera there, or a couple of good trail cameras. I think a picture of the area would make recommendations much better.

Thank you. I'll be showing up. Anywhere I can find out about what's actually involved in the pistol matches? (IDPA, USPSA, or just locally organized) The website doesn't give much info. You should take down the old website. It probably chases away more people than the new one attracts.

I guess that's my point. As F'd up as the Democrats are they present a unified front. I'm sure they bicker and argue behind closed doors, but they present a unified front. Republicans bicker and ague behind closed door and in front of them. They wouldn't recognize a unifying thought if they...

I hate to recommend specific cameras without knowing much more of what you want to do. Do you want to be able to recognize faces of people you know at 50 yds (easier), or strangers? Or, do you need to be able to recognize people both near and far? As far as battery systems, your looking at a...

In all of NY State Astorino is the great hope? He lost to Cuomo before, and with all the freebees Cuomo is giving away now that it's re-election time. Don't count on it.

NWRA Club is that just your user name or is there an actual club? The only thing I can find online is an NWRA forum that hasn't been posted to in years. I'd love to get info if it's an active club.

They are available, but you're looking at around $5K if you include solar charging. You are not going to identify anyone on wide angle, so it needs auto motion/zoom recording. They are available, but you're looking at $$$ if you include solar charging. You are not going to identify anyone on...

I think the pictures of it installed is more of an advertising issue. The company whose AR you install it on doesn't like being associated with them and says take it down. Crap like that. I'm sure we'll see pictures real soon. Or you can wait for mine :) I like you link better. I've always...

I like the flat bottom for better bench rest or varmint shooting. Looks like I'm the guinea pig.

Reminds me of the ole belt buckle 22. At least it held 5 rounds.

Man gets tired of the AT&T trucks in front of his house. He didn’t like the AT&T trucks parked in front of his home. So he shot them.

Instead of buying bulk, you're better off buying consumer size packages. 1- There's not much difference in price. 2- There's less chance of all the product being spoiled if the package is compromised. Just plain salt, nothing added...

A high mattress like that one is great to sleep on, but two things to remember. 1 - you need 120v for the bed pump. A small 200W inverter that plugs into your cigarette lighter (dating myself again) I mean 12V accessory outlet (LOL) and a cheap extension cord that reaches to the tent. My truck...

You won't get any better than this. Amazon.com : Coleman Instant 8 Person Tent, Black, 14x10-Feet : Sports & Outdoors Switched over to one a few years ago after getting tired of getting soaked putting up a regular tent in the rain. It's big enough for a queens sized air mattress, 2 cots that...

The USACarry list seems to be the consensus, but the best advice I can give is read it for yourself. https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/Media_and_Resources/Firearm_Reciprocity_Agreements/ My understanding is that there are special rules for Maine & New Hampshire.

No, but last mag in stays there unless use changes. AR is not my main HD choice. 44's roam the halls around here :)

Amazingly, shooting at your neighbors house is only a misdemeanor. :)

Not looking to debate law with you, I just disagree. 4a) says defend yourself from imminent deadly threat. I don't think it relieves you of the duty to retreat if possible. If your lawyer can convince a jury that the guy running away from you was still a threat, please give me his number :) The...

I think all you did was prove his point. In a home defense, if the intruder runs for the door your imminent threat has stopped. In NY your duty is to retreat. Right... No, what's expected... Yes. Kidnapping - please... when was the last HD kidnapping in NY. Murder or rape in my home... yeah...

SteyrAug posts some very... errr ... entertaining stuff, but like now is occasionally correct. It doesn't matter what you use if you don't train with it. How many of the "What's best" posters actually home defense train with their family with any of their firearms. Would I take the shot at...

Applaud the restraint from the homeowner not shooting back.

If you want something good that won't break the bank... Konus 7120B 20x-60xx80mm If you have the extra cash, I'd go with a Vortex Diamond back. I've looked at both, and unless you're a scope snob, you'll be happy with the Konus.

USCCA only covers you in an actual self defense situation, not other civil actions. Try Bellantoni Law or Weisberg & Zukher both offer free consultation and should at least point him in the right direction.
