    For leather, I have two belts from bullhidebelts.com (which I do not recommend) and a custom belt from A&G Custom Gunleather. For webbing, I like the Ares Aegis. Single layer leather belts (even thick bullhide) are not stiff enough to hold up to a heavy set of gear over time. Both of my...

    I have been to three courses with ITTS in the LA area over the past several years. Average round count was 600 or less for the entire two-day courses. I have seen more Glocks than 1911s break down in these courses, and I personally had more feed issues with my M&P40 than my 1911s during these...

    I am coming down with 1911 fever. Bought a Dan Wesson CBOB and it made me immediately run out to chase down a Specialist. Someone help me before I end up in the poorhouse, lol.

    OFFICIAL Game of Thrones Thread

    I want to make sure I have my threads right. In this one we can post untagged spoilers AND people get to ***** and moan about unrealistic depictions of weaponcraft in a show that features dragons, giants, undead, and people who can shapeshift or project themselves into wildlife?

    The coconut opening trick I have seen is to pierce the eyes with a sharp object, drain the liquid through the holes, then strike the eye end of the coconut against the ground (or hit with a hammer). One of the eyes is usually softer than the other two, and if you can get through that one you...

    Yeah, been out of public sector and back in private practice for a couple of years.

    ****, that's worth $850? Remind me to raise my rates.

     That was total B-action movie cliche. Like when the gang of bad guys decide to fight Bruce Lee one at a time instead of swarming his ass.

     I assume they would enforce the fine by withholding his revenue sharing payments.

    After the last Torrance one, I swore never to go to another one.

     Non-military, low-profile gas block guy speaking--I believe the milspec M4/M16 has a lug built in as part of the front sight base. During the AWB, civilian versions of the FSB were produced without it. There are replacement FSBs and clamp-on lugs that can be added to a lugless rifle...

     A bayonet, even an improvised one, would do the trick. I can see not wanting to lug around an 8-10 foot spear all the time, but if you have a rifle you might as well put some teeth (tooth) on it.

     El Tepeyac is good, but they don't make Norcal-style burritos (which I consider to be a good thing). That stretch of San Fernando Road is actually full of good taquerias. Victoria's is good and makes an awesome breakfast burrito, and El Sauz (two blocks further west on San Fernando) has...

     The Apex striker block and sear will smooth out the pull considerably. If yours was made before mid-2013 (when they changed the sear housing) you can add the RAM to improve the felt reset. The newest slide stop will also improve the reset because it is configured to push the trigger bar...

     I'd get the Apex DCAEK kit and see which combination of Apex and stock springs suits you. My M&P 40 is currently set up with a slightly heavier trigger than my stock M&P 9, but I added the Apex AEK trigger which reduces takeup and overtravel. I like my 40 better than the 9 because the...

     I'd get the dedicated Surefire forend if it fits the budget. I do not like the barrel clamp mounts because I like to have the switch under my thumb at all times. If you can't afford the surefire, get the Magpul forend and mount a flashlight to it. The type of light depends on your...

     I agree with most of this. I do not have a thumb safety on mine. In CA you can only get the thumb sfety on a .45; the others are not commercially available (they can only be purchased via private party transfers or using the PITA "single shot exemption" to get around the CA roster of...

    I've been planning to have a trigger job and SRT installed in my P229 for a long time, but I am now so pleased with my M&Ps that I am thinking of trading it in rather than adding enhancements.
