I’ve had someone complain about their Glock’s inaccuracy at every single USPSA match I’ve been to this year and they each stated that the 2011 was inherently more accurate When I told them the mechanical accuracy was virtually identical, they looked at me like I was crazy
Gen 5 and later with the Marksman barrel are exceptionally mechanically accurate. Five shots checking the zero on my G19.5 at 25 yards here. I’m shooting my reloads with @PrecisDelta 124 JHPs and N340.

You don’t have to like Glocks but you should respect their capabilities They’ll do 99.99% of what anyone would need a handgun for

It’s crazy seeing .223 AKs go from being the least popular to the most popular in the short time I’ve owned them

Vz 52/57 - Chambered in 7.62x39 - 10 round detachable mags - Chonkier than even the chonkiest SKS - Softer recoiling than SKS - Trigger is better than SKS (inspired by M1 Garand) - Bayonet folds from the side - Rear sight can be set to 50m increments

People standing near the safe angle isn’t unique to America This was me shooting in the country of Europe back in 2022. I was the only American there

People would rather buy Starbucks and avocado toast every day than save up for a decent firearm

Been saying this for years but people keep on wanting to argue the AR15 was a sporting rifle first or something All you have to do is look at the selector on the first AR15 ever made
Historically illiterate folks can learn with pictures:

Here is a certified Center Axis Relock instructor, taught by Paul Castle himself, of Sabre Tactics, missing the target from less than 3 feet away.

You’d think a $12k firearm would be more accurate I fired 10 well aimed shots, one at a time, at 50 yards from prone and this was the best group I could manage

I’ve been told the fire at B&T in Switzerland is due to arson

You guys think I’m some rich gun snob? I’d trust my life to this $60 gun as much as I would a $60k gun

You’d think an $8k rifle would be more accurate

People drop 5 figures on cars all the time. Why is it hard to believe they’d spend that much on a good semi auto rifle?

Remember back when you could get these by the crate for next to nothing? I always kick myself for not getting more when they were available

It’s been a good 8 years. The JB weld was an OK temporary solution but it doesn’t really hold up What should I get to replace my broken Alpha-X pouches? I just need them to be IPSC production legal and have the ability to cant forward/back and outward from my body
