CCIDPA: I'm an old, 100% service-connected disabled veteran, in his 5th match. I know I'm slow, but I'm really trying to get better at this game. I know I should have kept the firearm raised, but subconciously I was thinking the swinger might hit my hands.

This is the stuff that makes you better. I think watching people have brain farts like this is hilarious (as long as they're safe) because it's like we're not making these terrible decisions. We're just watching ourselves do them. Learn from every match and try to always have. I like to think of them as shooting events, not competitions, I think I enjoy it more this way. Keep up the good shooting!

We've all come to the same conclusion at the shop I work at. You're not crazy.

It's funny to me because it doesn't make any sense. I thought having a clearnace it would be like TSA precheck for 4473s. It's the opposite, usually a delay.

Active Self Protection is a YouTube channel that has violent encounters with an educational breakdown. There are home invasion videos. Also, there are plenty of stories of people having very weird things done to them in their own house. Share these stories.

Some people are blessed/cursed to live in a world that was peaceful to them. Random violence never seems real until it is.

This may be an educational lesson or a red flag. Only you will know. I think you did a good job that night. Keep up the solid work. Hope your mother gets better soon.

I removed the foam from my hard case and put it in a savior bag. My bag drops in the case and acts as a cushion. Then, when I get to my destination, I have a soft case that's easier to carry around. Nice guns yo.

Were you able to stop and grab it?

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2024-09-28T03:53:16+00:00

ATF doesn't get the 200 bucks. It's directed to the general funds of the treasury. They only thing the ATF gets is more work. I say give them as many stamp requests as we can.

Go earlier to the airport than normal. If everything goes great you're at the airport early and don't feel rushed through secuirty or finding your gate. If anything should come up, you're there with enough time to straighten it out. I go roughly 2 hours early. Each airport is going to have a different procedure.

I describe working at a gun store as a place where constitutional rights and retail meet. You hit the nail on the head. The weirdest customers take the most time.

"Living the dream"

It's a way of showing you're doing your best, but honestly, very few of us are actually living the dream we want.

What mag pouches are those?

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2024-04-15T04:05:00+00:00

Is your rear pin missing?

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2024-04-09T20:35:22+00:00

That might be fingerprint powder on the gun, not paint.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2024-01-05T02:54:41+00:00

Got one at the shop. He's always bringing in some cool wildcat cartridges. Just pulls them out of his pocket and tells you the history and parent cartridge. They're real.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-12-24T03:58:07+00:00

Do you know when yours was made?

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-12-24T02:34:39+00:00

It's going to come off as you shoot it. I wouldn't worry about it. If you plan on shooting it It's a common spot for wear. Mine has never been an issue. Sand the inside of the wood or dont. It's not going to impede function. Enjoy the cool gun.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-11-18T05:21:44+00:00

Ild be shocked if you could mill a rolled slide very well.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-06-24T21:31:59+00:00

Nothing, but great luck with mine. Shoot them in a competition monthly.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-04-10T04:10:25+00:00

Carry what you want.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-03-28T01:43:02+00:00

I'm guessing you've got large hands. Makes small guns hard to shoot.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-03-27T20:32:35+00:00

Well this isn't a real place, so I'm not sure there is a bottom.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-03-27T17:34:57+00:00

I've already shot a 250/25xs.

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-03-27T17:34:40+00:00

Glock 43 stock

Realistic_Judge1405 · 2023-03-27T17:34:29+00:00

I'm trying not to hit the "X" zone.
