NWI INGO General Post - Part 6

[melensdad]

That is a long road trip. Went to see my brother back in 2000 and he lives in Kernersville, just south of Winston-Salem and did the non-stop trip home in a Kia Sportage with 4 people. Couldn't get home soon enough.

YUP, long drive. First 1/3 is all mountains and run to drive through, lots of great scenery. Second 1/3 of the drive is not bad, roads open up but its still nice and rolling. But then you hit Indiana and the road goes flat and the scenery is cornfields and that is what you live with for the last part of the drive and you are already drowsy and . . . zzzzzz, uh, oh, zzzzzz the rest of the way home!

But glad to be back. Original plan was to be home Saturday Aug 31. We intended to see some sights and maybe meet up with Melen for a goodbye dinner, etc. I think she was more than tired of us being there, even if we didn't see much of her once classes started, but we passed on the sights and came home.

Back to the garage.
Rear sight goes in so easy it falls out when I tip the gun. Skip and go to the front sight.
Mother Puss Bucket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!!
It's too big to even start in the dovetail. Check the internet. Grab a file i have, triangle shape. File file file file file file.
finally get it where i can get it started, check gaps with a flashlight for clearance.
Hammer it in.
So I put gorilla glue in the rear sight, centered it as well as i can figure, damn, a boresighter might have been nice.

You should have taken an old pop can and cut a out a shim. I know it's a PITA to trim up aluminum that small but it works great. Just cut a strip out that's the width of the notch. If a single thickness shim works ... great. Just trim it to the right size. If you need double thickness, then fold it over and trim it. It will be just as tight as if the sight was fitted properly. It will be more secure than the glue under recoil (not much anyway with a .22) and still give you the option of drifting the sight without having to re-glue it.

If you wanted to be out until the 31st, you should have hit the Outer Banks.

STOP Team anti-crime approach 'like fishing'

Gary needs to do some but these fishing expeditions are not the way to go. How about you start with locking up these criminals instead of just let them back out on to the streets.

JBTs at their finest.

 

[Wild Deuce]

How about the JBT in the White House???

In case any of you missed it, Dear Leader took a big stab at the heart of the Civilian Marksmanship Program. Meanwhile the rest of the country is paying attention to Syria or Miley's twerking.

*I hope all of you will take a five minute break from INGO to voice your displeasure to at least one elected representative today.

 

[KLB]

He is more asshat than JBT

I just made the calls. Each one lasted about two minutes. I ask each staffer how many calls they have gotten and it was next to none. I had to explain what I was talking about. They will not put out a press release if there not enough of us that call. Please take part in this.

 

[lonehoosier]

On a side not I may have just jumped off the glock ban wagon. Tomorrow I wil be picking up a used CZ PO7 Duty, that's if the wife does not kill me

Ugh. That is so demoralizing.

Awesome! Any in particular reason why?

 

[turnandshoot4]

I do believe the reason it was "next to" instead of "none" was my lone phone call.

It will be sometime before I jump completely off the bandwagon. I have some concerns about how thin the slide is but the only way I will know is to run the crap out of it.

For those of you not paying attention ...

The Obama administration is also proposing a federal rule to stop those who would be ineligible to pass a background check from skirting the law by registering a gun to a corporation or trust. The new rule would require people associated with those entities, like beneficiaries and trustees, to undergo the same type of fingerprint-based background checks as individuals if they want to register guns.

How long before this extends to other "regulated" items in a trust ... suppresseors? ... SBRs?

Welcome to the CZ club.

I have a handful of CZ 75 pistols, the P07 is one I had, and sold (actually had 2 of them). Its a great gun. But I was an "early adopter" and couldn't find holsters for it. I had one of the first in the state, right when they started importing them. GREAT GUN. Absolutely fantastic pistol.

You are going to love it.

My honest answer, I don't know why. The Glock has always proven itself to me. I've carried it and trained with it for go on 16 years. It has done everything that I've asked it to do and then some but it has never felt right in my hand. I have always like the polymer pistols for there lightness for carrying. I like the way the M&P feels in my hand but I have an issue with hitting the slide lock on follow up shoots and I'm not a fan of the trigger. Also, I will never, ever carry a gun with a safety. I have shot a CZ 75 and I really like how the CZ feels in my hand but it to heavy for my liking. I think the PO7 Duty will be what I'm looking for but only time will tell.

Well, now I know that. Fortunately I did a pretty good job left/right. Adjusted up/down. Disappointed that the sight is fully a djusted for 50ft. But I think the stock sights were the same.

Neos with the FastFire is adjusted.

Ready to take the scouts out Saturday.
