Re: Tritium Sights - How Effective?

I've never had much luck with flashlights and sights. Living out in the country, I've had some experience with this. Like having to put down a sick coyote before daylight with my dogs trying to get at it. It was hard to get the flashlight to illuminate my .45 auto sights AND the coyote. Meanwhile k...

Re: Honor guard pistol BEWARE

I certainly disagree that this is a problem with striker fired pistols only.

Re: Tritium Sights - How Effective?

For my tritium sights to be visible, it has to be dark enough that I can't tell what I am shooting at.

They are brighter when they are new, and need to be replaced every 10 years or so.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: Honor guard pistol BEWARE

I'm not sure what to think. Without a doubt, I prefer drop safe guns, but I also don't have any problems with my Series 70 Colt. Maybe I should, but I don't. I've had that gun since it was new in the box in the 70's. It's got a 3.5 pound trigger, as measured with an electronic trigger gauge, just l...

Re: Red Dot sight question.

I like my EOTech. Been using it maybe 10 years now with no problems.

I would not use it for precise shooting at 100 yards (smaller than 1").

If you carry a Glock as a carry gun, I would say no.

If your carry gun is a Wilson/Brown 1911, then definitely yes.

You could do what I did, and buy one of those revolvers from the television that never need reloading!

Re: Water vs Bullets?

Since smokeless powder is sort of a plastic (nitrocellulose), it is pretty much unaffected by water. Primers are lacquer sealed, so I suspect water would not have an effect on them, either, even if the water made it through the flash-hole. And, military rounds used to be sealed at the bullet.

I did not want to divert the looting thread. But I do have a question. Suppose the roof blew off my home, and we had no power, and our stores (emergency supplies) were compromised. I take my family to another house on the block, whose owners have evacuated prior to the storm. Am I a "looter&quo...
