Re: Carrollton PD Sued for Civil Right Violations

Having lived in Carrollton for over 30 years, I think those of you who don't live here are out of line with your comments on the city and possibility the PD. I've met and talked with the Chief. Like all departments, his ideas and tone are not always completely reflected at the street level. As my ne...

Re: U. S. military weapons fail in battle?

The M-16 series has had problems with jamming since coming in service. I hated carrying it in Vietnam. Gave it up for a M-79 Thumper and a 45. I'm amazed a General is unaware for the problem. When that young female was captured and rescued she said her weapon and her Sargent's weapon jammed and coul...

Re: Can civilians send pistols to deployed US forces?

Could be they pick an AK to have a weapon that will fire everytime you pull the trigger. Everything since the M16 has had a tendency to jam, misfire and lock up. Got a lot of good people killed or captured. Treat a AK bad and it just keeps working. Combat weapons should be designed to work in the wo...

Re: ammo on sale

FYI: Went to the Academy at Parker and ND tollway on the 19th. Was able to pick up 2 100 round boxes of Winchester 9MM at $25.00 each. They had several more boxes and plenty of Monarch in 9MM too. Now I can go to the range this weekend!!

Bass Pro in Grapevine had a slew of JHP 9MM last week. No range ammo. Clerk said they were starting to see a slow down in JHP but stil could not keep any range ammo on the shelves. He had asked the store manager to keep some back for sale to their in-house range customers but was told NO, sell it FC...

Re: XD 9mm Subcompact

I gave up trying to find a subcompact and went with the XD-M 9. Would rather have the subcompact. I'm very happy with the full size but think the subcompact would be a better carry gun for me.

Re: ammo on sale

You folks who are stockpiling (and I understand why) close to reaching full yet?
I support what and why you are doing it, but I haven't been able to find any ammo. As such I can't go to the range and
work on my skills or become close to my new XD-M. Just looking for light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: Tips for cutting gun case foam

Freezing the foam will make it stiffer, making it easier to cut in a straight line. It never gets real solid, but it helps. A sharp blade, small strokes, not trying to go too deep worked best for me.

Re: Motorcycle Carry suggestions

Just a thought in case you are not aware of these vests. I don't know if after all the talk about riding attire this is helpful or not. The NRA store sells a boar hide leather vest that has compartments inside, on both sides for CC. They are closed with velcro. The vest front closes with snaps. The ...
