  1. Past hour
  2. You go ahead and try to get it outlawed, and I'll try to get it so that we at least get some sort of benefit out of what's already happening. There is no putting this genie back in the bottle. But hopefully it can at least be harnessed and controlled. Plus I'm not sure I'm particularly concerned about the freedom to commit traffic violations, and I don't suspect the founders were either.
  3. Probably. But I can't get away with running down the geriatric driver that's the 5th car to run the red light and slapping them for being a selfish asshole. So I'm torn.
  4. Are you guys high? You trust the government to handle that kind of power over us? I want to completely outlaw any and all spy type equipment (sounds like y’all want the patriot act on steroids) used to monitor us.
  5. Today
  6. Florida is crazy with them. But set reasonable specs that are codified in state law so municipalities can't play loose with the system. I believe Floriday did pass a law a couple years ago to reign them in.
  7. Fifth RFI? They don’t know what they want.

    "The International Defensive Pistol Association, Inc. (IDPA), in response to numerous reports and videos, is immediately prohibiting the use of the SIG Sauer P320 in all of it’s variants from any competition or event under the name of IDPA. All other SIG Sauer models may be used in the division appropriate for their configuration. The goal of IDPA is safety first for our members, competitors, staff and spectators and all others associated with any IDPA event. While we have no direct knowledge of the potential technical defect of the weapon system, the volume of ranges, organizations and military units declaring a problem has made it too visible to deny. We will re-evaluate this decision in the future if new credible information emerges. We are aware that this decision will affect a limited number of competitors at the National Championship. Please understand that safety for all in the sport is paramount. For those affected, please contact he**@id**.com . Division changes for those affected will be allowed until August 8. “IDPA is committed to maintaining a fair, competitive, and inclusive environment for all shooters,” said IDPA President Joyce Wilson. “Banning a particular firearm is the last thing we ever want to do as an organization, but the safety of our members and potential spectators has to come first."
  10. Holy cow: So even if they do get it, their first time landing on the boat will be in a F-35/F-18/C-2/E-2? Their vaunted PLM better work.

    My brother's dept dumped their 226s 10 or 15 years ago. Same story.
  12. I know. I'll be streaming them on my phone.
  13. This year I needed a 2.5 year etp I was short a few weeks. Anyone else needed one and has it been sent back yet considering board submission is two weeks away?

    Poor quality parts and QA in the last ten years or so. Things like cracking slides, burrs/shitty machining on name-your-part, etc. Sounds similar to when Remington bought Marlin and quality went down the shitter (but has since shot up since Ruger took over). Now maybe most of these gripes are because they are shooting way more than the average guy/care about shit to the max OCD level. I’ve personally never had a bad sig experience, but I’m also not a pro. None of them use Sig weapons, and I suppose that says something (also, they mentioned how dudes from their communities who have poor bro reps are the ones pushing Sig in the market, obviously big bucks motivation). Im not personally shitting on Sigs, just found it interesting coming from those dudes.
  17. Gotcha. I don't think so. It was not relatively complicated to get an old 1911 to go off if you hit it right. That's not to say that it was something likely to happen, since most people aren't throwing their guns onto the ground barrel first, but then again this p320 issue is also quite exceptionally rare considering how many of them are in circulation. But you are absolutely correct, until we actually know what's going on with the p320, this is all speculation and educated guesses. What were they saying? I'm very fond of their weapons, but I don't actually know anything about the company itself. Anecdotally I've talked to people who have had problems with their gun and Sig seemed willing to have it shipped to them for repair or modification by their gunsmiths. Same I'm really glad this hasn't been documented for the P365, because it's a fantastic carry weapon.

    I love my Sigs Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  19. Agreed. I also would like to see some sort of AI detection of dick bag drivers. Speeding cameras should only apply to crazy speeding. Going the speed limit is for suckers. Also, those limits are set knowing people will speed by 10mph.

    No. I'll just say we got in a semantic argument past one another. I'll try to be clear: It appears that the P320's problems are bad enough that it is less safe than what was used in WW2. Let alone the M9. It remains to be seen what the actual problems are, all anyone really has at this point is educated guesses.

    AF mandated inspections for all m18s was released. Essentially removing the FCU and inspecting for burrs and issues with the sear.
  22. I never knew that background story, wild!

    Was talking about this last night in a group that included some extremely qualified dudes - I was surprised to find out they actually hate the entire company and aren’t surprised this is happening. Says something when guys at that level don’t have anything positive to say. I don’t own Sigs, but I certainly didn’t have that perspective on the company. Ouch.
  24. True, I mention as it they seemed to be there for specific training, drones, and how to use asymmetric capabilities / tactics to fight conventional forces. Bodes ill for stability in certain areas poorly / loosely governed methinks.
  25. Not really novel. 7th SFG trained a bunch of future Zetas years ago. Gangs have long used the US military as training ground. They even have an acronym: Military-trained gang members (MTGMs).
  26. My local range just banned them for the foreseeable future. It's owned by a bunch of ex-military; they're all pretty chill dudes so I don't think they made the decision off the cuff (though I'm sure the liability issue was at the forefront). Didn't matter to me since I don't own any Sigs.
  27. I guess I mostly agree. I really wish they would bring red light cameras back. Maybe one of the best pieces of public safety on the roads, but of course governments wanted to do it cheap, so instead of buying the technology or even leasing it, they get it for "free" by giving the operator of the technology a cut of the tickets, thus creating a negative incentive, and inevitably resulting in the yellow light duration being lowered. Which is absolute bullshit. I forget where it was but when the local legislative body increased the yellow light times back to where they were, it was immediately no longer economically feasible for the company, and away went the cameras. Install the cameras, increase the duration of the yellow light by one second, and give be ruthless in enforcement. The cost is made up by fewer accidents. Get a bonus feature where DHS gets brought into the loop for traffic violations and you'd see Texas jump from the worst to the best state to drive in overnight 🤣😂
