Re: Do Springs Take a Set if the Striker is pre-cocked/the hammer cocked?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this video seems to lay out clearly the science behind what many had already stated, but in video from with charts & stuff to articulate the same conclusion: modern springs will likely outlast the other components in a consumable item. https://youtu.be/lNnrguN7...

Re: Paul Harrell announces cancer diagnosis

New video from Paul Howell. He does the intro & sets the stage, then hands over the bulk of the demo to his crew. Paul comes back for the summary / closing remarks. In typical stoic fashion, he only briefly mentions his physical condition briefly, & sticks to the topic at hand with personal ...

Re: LTC-104 - New form that replaces the LTC-100 & LTC-101's takes effect on 1 May 2024

Same here. I'd start using it now, but no attachment & as you said it's not available for download on the DPS website.

I'll ping the RSD & see if they'll resend to all with attachments, or post for Instructors to download

Re: More School Guardians?

The guardian program alone (as laid out by the state) is actually pretty bad, and not the standard I would want the school employees to have if my kid were in their school. Its better than nothing, but in my opinion honestly not a high enough standard. This, goes hand in hand with this... This disc...

Re: Ban on guns in post offices is unconstitutional, US judge rules

30.06/07 does not apply to federal facilities as it is part of Texas law. Federal law is something else entirely: ....whoever knowingly possesses or causes to be present a firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federal facility (other than a Federal court facility), or attempts to do so, shall be f...

Re: Question regarding suppressor caliber choice i.e 9mm on a .22 caliber

I asked the folks at Capitol Armory if there would be an issue shooting.22 LR out of a 9mm can. The response was that it would be okay to shoot a little bit of .22 LR out of it, but because most .22 LR is lead (ie, not copper jacketed) that shooting extensive amounts would eventually cause lead depo...

Re: FREE Emergency Trauma Response Training Course

So here's my review of this online course. Overall, it's a really good overview of the M.AR.C.H. algorithm, and the majority of what is presented is spot on. There's at least one thing he got wrong, and a couple things that I feel are important enough to clarify or expound on that could lead to a re...
