Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
Favorite breath control tricks? I've been working my ass off trying to get a proper "half breath" for long range shooting. It's a bear. The lack of an actual range to practice on doesn't help much either.
A guidance trick that can help with jerking the trigger is, from the firing position, finger on the trigger, keep your second knuckle of the firing finger aligned parallel to the pistol, it requires a little more effort, as you'll be engaging less muscle to your trigger pull, but you're engaging the weapon and exerting force on it much more cleanly, which will keep your weapon on target better.
If any of you active shooters don't have one already, pick up a guitarist "work out" grip, beef up your fingers, those gorilla grips to get the whole hand and wrist are excellent as well. I find keeping fingers, hand and wrist in good work improves stability, as well as making pretty much anything else interacting with the weapon with one's hands a better operation.
Do any of you guys practice failure drills regularly?
Grognard:
stove pipe clearing ?
yep
Tap, Rack, Bang.
oh yeah.
just got to.
GarandMarine:
I know it's impractical, but I fully intend to make one of these.
GarandMarine:
I need a thousand dollars... well make that $1500
I need one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Aimpoint-PRO-Patrol-Rifle-Optic/dp/B007GDR0I4/ref=sr_1_1?s=hunting-fishing&srs=2581843011&ie=UTF8&qid=1385741614&sr=1-1&keywords=aimpoint
I also need a .300 Blackout / .300 Whisper upper for my AR-15 and then a scope for that as well.
GarandMarine:
I have a lot of initial responses to this pistol
Notably:
(click to show/hide)I have a massive hard on when I look at this and I'm not the least bit ashamed
That it's a very lovely and artistic piece aside, I kinda wonder how it impacts basic operation. One of the things I love most about the 1911 platform is it's balance. The full size 1911 is balanced and perfect, and in my hands at least I barely feel the recoil, it's motion is literally an extension of my body and was from the very first time I held one.
So looking at this design besides the aesthetic characteristics of the cut. I'm thinking it could potentially have a significant negative impact on performance, increasing felt recoil, and opening lots of opportunity for snagging and fowling.
