I ran into a similar issue with a lower and a PSA pistol grip, fixed the problem by switching out the screw with an extra I had from another pistol grip I had.

Not with the 40 in particular but the 9mm version is sweet.

SCAR is nice especially with a Geiselle trigger modification. Also a good weapon is the H&K MR762. Both are a bit pricey but a blast to shoot and very accurate when you want to reach out and touch something.

"Cadillac" Health Care Plans and Obamacare
The need for the ACA is the high cost of medical care ans the high cost of medical care is caused by ....... you guessed it medical practice insurance paid by the doctor in case you sue because he screwed up. Solution is found in two words - Tort Reform.

But the not so good news is that the 3rd US District Court in New Jersey took the opposite stance last year. Apparently 19 states are trying to get this case moved up to the Supreme Court. More to follow, I'm sure.

How much does the local housing market change when an aircraft fleet leaves a base?
Back in the day there were rumors of the USAF wanting to consolidate ISR at Beale. Those of us at Offutt in the RJ found that the housing market took a serious dump. I ended losing over $18K on a house when we got orders to PCS. We ended up selling to a guy who worked for Union Pacific. So, buying is a risk but just as we lost on this deal we cleaned up in the DC area.

Washington DC
Did my two years of pennance and we lived in Woodbridge. Bought a 2400 sq ft house there, mortgage was about what the housing allowance was - part of the entering argument with the real estate lady. Sold it for about an $80k profit. Commute was about 30 minutes on the HOV if you slugged or carpooled. I parked in south parking for part of the first year, slugged for about a year and car pooled the rest of the time. Car pooling and slugging were good in that you had a reason for leaving the office at a reasonable time, don't want to miss your ride home. It seemed like it took at least 30 minutes to get anywhere as traffic seemed to always be heavy. Schools were good in Virginia, we had no problems.

It's expensive, but no more so than a Geiselle.

Peterson will match but not with independently owned shops, only the big stores - Sportsmans Warehouse, Cabelas, etc.

Ever Considered Expating?
Been to Chile, its like Europe only more orderly, it's nothing like the rest of Latin America. Actually not a bad choice. You could live there Sep to May and in the US May to Sep and always enjoy summer.

AAFES is getting really squirrely on the gun counters. They are money makers but they seem ashamed that they are even in the store. The guys at Peterson aren't allowed to do special orders since the scare, I think the manager wants the counter to go unprofitable so they might have a reason to close it. The Academy gun counter opened up at the end of last month and they will take special orders, guess where my dollars will go?

WTF? (**NSFW**)
Yet another example why Hollywood should not be allowed to take political stances. They don't know what they are spouting off on and are there just to get back in the limelight. And of course gullible Americans buy off on these ideas and we end up with the government we now "enjoy." Keep Hollywood in the fiction business and out of politics.
