  1. 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.

    source for that?

    I knew what you meant. The series 70 drop fail requires you to drop it on the muzzle. It shoots the ground. I also think it's a reasonably low probability of happening. Otherwise, it's pretty safe at normal duty spring rates and trigger geometries. My competition guns are more questionable. The P320 should theoretically should be better, however the striker safety failure rate seems to be pretty high (no more 320 advantage over 1911). The slide to FCU play seems to be enough to allow the sear to release the striker in some cases, which inherently also skips the secondary notch. All of the analogous components in a 1911 are in the frame, with essentially no play. Side note: You can basically make a series 70 gun drop safe by using a titanium firing pin and an 2x extra power return spring. This is how Springfield made CA legal 1911s. You'll need to run a fairly heavy (23# or so) mainspring to make it work. I'm not sure you can actually buy a Series 80 anymore for what it's worth.

    Your larger final point is fine and I agree, but your specific risk analysis of a 1911 vs the P320 is nonsense.

    I have had good luck with JM Custom Kydex for all my appendix needs.

    Between the accounts of cops and competitive shooters having discharges in holsters, and the way Sig has handled it. Fuck that gun
  8. The last MH-53 graduate from Kirtland started the CV-22 course the following week. We've been here before.

  10. CH, what do you have on this? Edit To Add: For anyone else who was busy doing other shit today: -Satellite imagery shows a shitload of trucks outside Fordow Thursday/Friday timeframe. -IAEA says no indication of increased radioactivity post strike at the various sites. -US officially can't confirm the whereabouts of the nuclear stockpile of 60% material. Take all that for whatever it's worth...
  11. He's an obvious agitator against the regime, and likely been working with the CIA for years. My point is he's making public videos on X calling for the people to rise up, now.
  12. Reza Pahlavi (exiled crown prince) is calling for a revolution.
  13. Bwahaha. Yes, the Caspian. My bad.
  14. Persian women, black seas resorts, ski slopes, persian women. One can dream of a westernized Iran......

    Shot it again, pulled the jank dot plate off and just went irons. 2 inches at 7 yards. So not great, but better than before.

    It is the Florida-Man of gun companies.
  17. busdriver replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar
    Maybe. I haven't had the time to delve into it too much. When I shot it, I was just using the head box of a USPSA target at about 10 yards after a match. Probably a 4 inch group or so. The dot plate screws sit above the plate, so the dot mount is janky. ??? Beats me.
  18. busdriver replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar
    I'll mirror these comments. I put a Vortex CCW on mine. The dot is wider than the pistol. Mine is not accurate. At all. It'll suffice at close range, but a shooter it is not. Might be the dot mount I guess. I haven't trouble shot it yet. It flings the empty cases a really long way. Like comically far.
  19. That's that little dick energy.
  20. No correlation. I'm the best pilot I've ever flown with and I majored in engineering. But I've known fuzzy majors who weren't half bad too.
  21. busdriver replied to arg's topic in Squadron Bar
    Yup
  22. busdriver replied to arg's topic in Squadron Bar
    Yeah, you've said that. I get it. You're wrong, but that's ok.

    Just to be clear, the idea is tariffs will force companies to open facilities in the US, and then? The tariffs cannot go away, they are the only thing that makes that factory make any sense. Everything will be more expensive from now on, this is a very obvious trade-off. For fuck sake, calling someone a "globalist" is a common pejorative within new-right circles (and plenty of people on this board us it as well). You guys are acting like we didn't discuss globalization and whether or not it was good for everyone and job loss/market differentiation is just the natural product of a free market, or whether the US worker got the short end of the stick and paid for the cheap stuff for everyone else. The words coming out of the president's mouth, and the vice president, and the treasury secretary, etc, etc. Basically all the language from the administration (except the guy who's leaving to go back to business) lines up with the "globalization was a bad deal" crowd.
