Speed, you must have a great Security Clearance to know what we have and don't have?, but interesting all the same!:music_whistling: Cheers all!! I sure the truth would not be posted here!!!!

Pushing three with that GPU will be harder, but See my Sig for my set up!!! Dell ultra sharps are good, 24, 27 or 31 inch for main View, but expensive compared to a TV!! Good Luck:thumbup:

Thanks Ali, nice reply!, no sarcasm or smart answer! Just great information :)
It does happen, right to to point..I agree Razor......and ty Ali.:thumbup:

Yea, it's pretty sad, isn't it?
We have the technology, or know how to develop the technology fairly quickly, to fly a large space interferometry mission within 10-20 years that could capture the spectral fingerprints of any habitable worlds out to a few dozen light years, if not more. It could even prove to a high certainty the existence of life on them, because, if you have the spectrum, then it becomes possible to detect biological activity on the surface- you look for atmospheres that are not in chemical equilibrium. For example, for like the past 1.5 billion years, Earth's spectral signature (specifically, very abundant O2) has been screaming "HABITABLE PLANET WITH A LARGE BIOSPHERE" out into interstellar space for any intelligent civilization to see. The fact that, in all that time, aliens haven't arrived to subjugate our planet makes all the Hollywood alien invasion flicks even that more ridiculous. :D
Anyway, I severely digress...
Speed. that was very well spoken!:thumbup:

If we can photo the Mars landing, what do we see on earth???:music_whistling: I can only imagine!!! no place to hide now?
It was not me peeing behind that tree!!!

Amazing!!!! Now where is that Nascar driver when you need him?

That ball is not in EDs court.
Well Said, I was misspoken!!!:thumbup: But hope they push for it as well!

I like it, looks so like home!:thumbup:

Because it is there to better ensure that the trigger was pulled consciously and not because your finger was close to the trigger and, e.g. due to stress, your muscles tightened up. As was said, weapons like the Glock are designed for users with good handling discipline that need a weapon that can be drawn and shot very quickly and reliably. That is one reason why it fares so well with units that specialize on forced entry/close quarters.
I must agree, but it all comes down to training, with the weapon you have! Faster, better, safer, that is all user!! Be safe all.:thumbup: Regardless of weapon choice, you need "Speed", Power" and "Ability to hit your target".
With training most can have SPA. If the weapon has the Power!
when testing the 9mm on a 10" 7 layer vest, the 9mm cut 3 layers of the vest and did not tear the front cover of the 5" phone book. the .45 cal in same test, did not even penetrate the first layer of the vest. but drove the vest 7" clear through the phone book. So where is the stopping power????

Moving on... The 1911 huh!? :thumbup:
yes, me too!!!:thumbup:

Guess we are saying the same thing.. in a different way. Stop the threat if they die then they die but I'm not.going to shoot an attacker in the leg to try and stop him..
I never said shoot to wound, I said shoot to stop!!!! Center Mass is best!
when they look at your training, they Will ask why you didnt wound him, Well I did, just not in the leg. Their death is their own fault.:music_whistling: I was never trained to shoot in the leg either, But as a expert you should be able too, not so...You shoot as you are trained, not to kill them, but to stop them!
-
Pardon the arrogance, but when would you ever want to "shoot to stop" and if you did stop the attacker, what would be an acceptable scenario to follow up if needed? I am always trained to shoot to kill.
It is kinda a play on words, but not really, if the threat is stopped move on, if not reengauge! It just gives you time, which you will need in close combat! also if you look at the Military side of things, It take many more soldiers and resorces to handle the wounded than it does the dead!
Do what keeps you alive! Bottom line..In a court of law??? I shoot to stop, their fault they died!, I did not shoot to kill them, only stop them!:doh: and they do question your training!! 9 out of 10, I gonna drill them to Heaven and back! But only shot to stop them! Understand?
-
Now, in the civilian self-defense field, the applicability of the "one shot stop" is a bit more important: there's legal aspects to consider, and if you re-engage the target after hitting him the first time, you open yourself up for lawsuits, so I can see wanting a bigger bullet (besides, you're probably going to be engaging a single opponent, and most likely at bad-breath distances).
If you shoot to stop, they will go down with the .45, if they die as a result of stopping them, that is their fault in the first place. Stop the threat, follow up if needed! Seconds become your friend!!:thumbup: and just might keep you alive too!

Plz read my post again.
I did, no worries, As you said, one must train for it..cheers:thumbup:

The thingy with the extractor indicating a chambered round was only introduced recently, the austrian army issue gen3 i used didn't have it back then, IIRC.
Edit: Scratch that, i think we were particularly not trained to use the extractor but it was there.
I always know when I have a chambered round, why do you need the gun itself to tell you that? I not have time to feel for it!!:)

Are you still shooting competitively? How come they wouldn't let you carry your NMGC? :thumbup: I'd haul that thing around everywhere!
no I am not! I 55 now and eyesight is worse, lol, I still have my Gold Cup, Personal use only, Military knew of my competing, but had to be army issue. they still have at least 4-5 really good 1911's I ported and polished.. I still have the trophys from Military too, Shooting their 1911's standard issue! Yeah, If it means anything I was an Expert in all weapons the Army let me play with!
:thumbup: In my day, I was shooting about 1,000 rds every two weeks. expenpsive now to do that too! Well good memories at least. I still try to shoot at least 50 a month! But I am Retired now! also mush differernt shooting at a still target, verses the Combat shooting courses!,,, but the .45 is still my weapon of choice!! Be Safe!!
-
I would say a loose grip or "limp wristing" would be the cause for most misfeeds, maybe riding the slide right behind that... :dunno:
true, if you ever got Hammer and Slide bite too, you doing it wrong, again, know your weapon. The Military would not let me carry my National Match Gold Cup, even though I kept it in the Armory!.LOL and if you do get a miss feed, How fast can you clear it. Training an knowing your weapon, I can't say enough!:thumbup:
Cheers all!! G lock, now you talking shooting skills, not the function of the weapon itself!, cheers

I had a Baby Eagle .45 when I was in Alaska....that was a nice gun also. Never had any problems with it either. The guy I sold to shot himself through the hand while cleaning it though. You always make sure that there isn't one in the chamber...
Again the User is the Safety. I competed wit a custom Gold Cup National match 1911, and I am left handed, so had Safeties on both sides. Not so lucky with Military version, But I had trained for it, so was not a problem. Right handed only!! As for careing for it, I knew a little emery cloth each time I cleaned it would make it more reliable! polish the feed ramp and mag well, better feeding, faster reloads, and remember to clean and oil your mags, most misfeeds are mag caused!:thumbup: Carried one concealed and on duty over 25 yrs, with no worries!!:music_whistling:Know you weapon, best I can Say!!! I would take a >45 over a 9mm any day. Old saying, 9mm has 14 rnds, and you need all of them, .45 cal, just one to knock them down, once down, they are less of a threat! Whatever you choose, Learn it well, and be safe!!
-
I competed with the 1911 as a civilian and carried it in the Military, never let me down, and I would hate to be on the receiving end of it's knock down power!:music_whistling: Like any weapon, you have to know it, and care for it!! the 1911 can take a hell of alot of abuse! Safety is all user!!!! Any user Should know if you have a round in the chamber!! Period!!As well as how many left in the mag, before you move on to the next unknown!!

Very Nice!!!!

Just tried out A-10C and this computer is a BEAST! Getting like 70+ frames in the pit. I still need to config things and that was without messing with the MFD's.
So glad it is working for you!! It is a nice set up!:pilotfly:
