It felt like grammatical diarrhea in there. So many broken sentences.

Basically Trekkin doesn't like the idea of space exploration for reasons. Y'all've established that pretty well. Is there any other Ameripol stuff going on?

That's next. Double barrel coachgun or pump action with a pistol grip and stock and 16" barrel.

« on: April 04, 2019, 08:02:31 am »I'd advise against Taurus - the designs are good, but the quality control is generally pretty bad. I know people that had to go through 8+ factory replacements before getting one that worked reliably.I have also heard reports of the 'splosions.
Which is quite worrisome.
That's a result of their poor quality control. There are a lot of stories about guns shooting their own barrels downrange, firing when shaken, revolvers that jam, and the occasional kaboom.
Basically, they cut quality control to the bone, and rely on a generous customer service replacement policy to compensate.
If you have one that works, there's no need to replace it. However, buying a new one is a poor idea, particularly when something like a Glock or S&W M&P isn't that much more new, and is usually available used for a comparable price.
Hers works beautifully. I'm taking the chance on mine because it was only 175USD which is absurdly cheap. Also my dad has the same model and it's functioning well, so either I'm in a good area or we're lucky. In any case I'll still have my Ruger, so even if I have some issues I won't be weaponless.

« on: April 03, 2019, 06:58:34 pm »Pretty much every cartridge has more powder in it that is used in most guns, because you still get more power even if you don't get the full potential. This is why you get more velocity out of a longer barrel (up to a point) - you're making better use of the powder in the cartridge. For example, the most popular pistol round in the world (9x19 Parabellum) is usually used in pistols with a 4" or less barrel. Velocity for a 9mm peaks at a 16" barrel. However, the next smallest round (.380 ACP, which is confusingly the same .357" diameter of a 9mm) is still 20% slower from any barrel.
She has a Taurus G2S 9mm. I have a Ruger CC .380. I'm getting a Taurus G2C 9mm.

« on: April 03, 2019, 03:45:14 pm »Guns are far louder than they seem, and it is really easy to mess up with earpro. That's the reason there's been a big push to get suppressors off the NFA list.
Yeah, my wife's pistol is physically loud. When I stood four ish feet to her left, I could feel the compression wave in my face from the shots. My pistol has a different sound profile, but I suspect it's louder. Kinda like a sharp pop to her guns tight-then-sharp kacrack

I temporarily (hopefully) damaged hearing in my right ear shooting yesterday. I wore in-ear plugs but not muffs. Gotta get muffs.
