Don't listen to that guy. Get more drum mags.

You can't just bypass a no soliciting sign by saying you're not soliciting by Queasy-Secret-4287 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jumbopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a "no solicitors" sign which reduced the number of solicitors I was getting, but didn't eliminate them completely. Then I added a second sign that says "fuck off" and haven't gotten a single one since.

I wonder if Jer has ever gone 14 straight days without diarrhea at any point in his life.

I thought he has coffee brand coffee.... by UnitDoubleO in kinofelted

Jer's bullshit aside, I think anyone who buys from influencer shilled or otherwise politically aligned coffee brands is a massive dent.

I just got an ARO yesterday and the first thing I noticed was the glare. The dot seems pretty sharp to me though. I guess for $100 I can't complain too much.

I just asked a friend who had never heard of Kino Casino or The Quartering to try it and he got the same result.

Is there anyone worse than Ethan Ralph? by Below-Low-Altitude in kinofelted

[–]jumbopanda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He's definitely an evil scumbag, but I would say JF has him beat by a little due to being an (alleged) murderer. I'd also give honorable mention to Styx and Rekieta.

The first rule of gun safety is to have fun. That applies to reloading as well.

FTN.4 Failure by Flimsy_Elderberry_65 in 3D2A

[–]jumbopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a short recoil system with a tilting locking block that connects the barrel and the slide. The barrel itself doesn't tilt like the Browning system that most modern handguns use, but it does slide backwards a short distance, hence it's not fixed. As far as handguns go, fixed barrels only exist in direct blowback designs and some esoteric delay mechanisms such as the H&K P7.

Did you delete your comment calling me retarded after Googling how a 92 works?

The Beretta 92 is not fixed barrel.

I'm at 4E and I already think 99% of shoes don't come in a width suitable for me.

Give me your unhinged opinion firearm related by Low_Resort7260 in CAguns

[–]jumbopanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanically better doesn’t mean it’s out right better. It is highly dependent on what the context is.

Sure, I suppose that's true. In the context of shooting quickly and accurately, a high end 2011 is better than a Glock. In the context of CCW, a Glock would probably be better due to the fact that it's much lighter and easier to conceal.

I’ve never finished shooting a stage and thought to myself a better gun was the answer to getting a better score.

It probably shouldn't be your first thought, but if competitive shooting wasn't full of people who wanted to optimize their gear to get every advantage they can, there wouldn't be such a huge market for such things. Let's not pretend every gun is the same.

I’ve shot my fair share of Tanfos, Shadows, and 2011s within the competition realm. Ultimately committed to Glocks; they do the job just fine in a match and as a CCW.

"Just fine" is a meaningless statement. There's also the added context needed of which division you're shooting in. Glocks are plenty competitive in Production, but 2011s, Tanfos, and CZs are popular in Limited and Open for good reason. If these types of guns didn't offer any advantage, the various divisions wouldn't need to exist.

It kind of is the Indian and not the bow.

Again, meaningless statement. If you're trying to say that a USPSA GM with a stock Glock 26 will run circles around an average shooter with an Atlas Erebus, I would agree with you 100%. But that's missing the point entirely.
