    Bear country pistol

    I typically carry a Wilson Combat Hunter chambered in 460 Rowland. Underwood Xtreme Penetrator 460 Rowland ammo. Time to first shot is between 0.8 and 1 second from a Level 2 OWB retention holster, with split times of about 0.4 seconds for all A ring hits at 10 yards. Is that good enough? I...

    New Garmin vs Magneto

    There are a couple of ways I can think of, both of which I have tried and found to agree with each other within 1 fps while the Labradar off by 8-10 fps. Sorry, I do not own a Garmin so I have no idea how it will compare. Oehler System 89. I own one and use this for my testing. A high speed...

    New Garmin vs Magneto

    Genuine question, typically physicists measure an amount by comparing it to a known and universally accepted standard/value. How do you know if either of them compare to a standard? More importantly, what is the standard?

    Talk me into or out of buying a suppressor, please.

    I was not trying to fool anyone. Anyway, if the above rant made you happy, I am happy for you.

    Talk me into or out of buying a suppressor, please.

    Excellet questions. I will try to answer. I do. Yeah. SS has obliterated most of the independent businesses, so I am not surprised that there are not many independent dealers left. Well, I agree with you, partly. Independent dealers who do the paper applications does sometimes have troubles...

    Talk me into or out of buying a suppressor, please.

    Fair enough. I will not argue with you. If you think you are right, power to you. Well, maybe you didn't read my reply completely. I did mention a 338 cal suppressor will perform inferior on a 30 cal rifle than a 30 cal suppressor. But it can totally be used and is used all the time. No you...

    Talk me into or out of buying a suppressor, please.

    Read about bone conduction. You can not protect your bones with earbuds. No they do not. Dirty suppressors actually suppress more than clean suppressors. The only thing that needs cleaning is the aperture and it gets cleaned every time you shoot. A suppressor is basically like a muffler on your...

    Talk me into or out of buying a suppressor, please.

    Please do not ever do it. You will land in Federal prison and will lose your gun rights forever (or at least it would be really hard to restore it). I am not going to debate about the legalities of the NFA. As of the time of this writing, suppressors are illegal to own without a Form 4 and...

    Talk me into or out of buying a suppressor, please.

    Lots of people do not know that you also hear through your bones and not just your eardrums. A few people have commented on over the ear, in ear hearing protection like foam plugs, electronic protection,etc, but what about the kick back from the rifle when it is connected to your shoulder? A...

    Banish Backcountry?

    User serviceable suppressors are only relevant for rimfire stuff. The stuff that needs to be cleaned out of rimfire suppressors is mainly wax. That being said, no rifle suppressors needs to be serviced. As a matter of fact, a dirty suppressor is actually quieter than a new suppressors. All...

    FFL Form 4 not submitted help!

    That is a very fair demand. I typically do not charge anything for filling up paperwork if you buy from me. And I have done exactly two non-sale transfers in 3 years. So this never came to my mind. Again you are absolutely not wrong, but may I ask for a little empathy for (maybe) a new FFL?

    FFL Form 4 not submitted help!

    And how do you suggest he/she can make it right?

    FFL Form 4 not submitted help!

    Lots of people are recommending Silencershop here. Did you know there is another company that Silencershop is replicating in terms of business model? Starts with an A, ends with a N and trades with a ticker symbol AMZN. No points for guessing it right though. As an FFL and SOT or as a buyer...

    FFL Form 4 not submitted help!

    First off, I am not trying to make it sound like it is fine to drop the ball. But mistakes happen, especially if the FFL is new and is following a paper process instead of eForms. I am sure you have screwed up ‘some’ paperwork at some point of time. So it happens. Also, as much the general...
