I had the privilege this week of attending a carbine class offered by Haley Strategic Partners, the Disruptive Science D5 Carbine course at Hillside Shooting Sports in Roanoke, just SW of Ft. Wayne. Since there are myriad threads about Travis Haley and links to his training videos, I won't...
SOLD.
I went looking for a Glock 26 and bought a G27 instead. It confirmed that I just don't like the .40 S&W cartridge. I should have bought a G26 and been happy. :(
Comes with the original box and packaging materials, naturally. Internals polished. Less than two boxes of ammo fired...
According to the Washingon Times and other sources, Magpul is finalizing their move from Colorado to Texas and Wyoming in the first quarter of 2015. I can't seem to post a link because my computer is apparently screwed up. Sorry.
With all of the emotional posts earlier this year on this...
I received this from a friend via e-mail and thought it was funny enough to share here. Some of the OC/CC debates that we all read and participate in came immediately to mind ... :laugh:
I apologize if it's already been posted.

As a relative noob to reloading, I have only used three different powders thus far. I often set up my press for a single caliber and just reload in spurts, as I have time. Sometimes an hour, sometimes only 10 -15 minutes. In between sessions, I just leave the press set up and come back when I...
I have a question for INGO LEOs that should be pretty easy to answer ...
INGO has several threads about LEO incounters, some dealing with carry issues and other not. This is a "not." I know that there are a whole bunch of very secretive, untrusting types here on INGO (you know who you are...
I have loaded several thousand rounds of both 9mm and .45 ACP on my Dillon XL650 with very few issues. All cases were previously fired brass.
I just started loading some brand-new brass in .45 ACP and was surprised that I really have to push up hard on the lever to unstick the sizing die from...
First off, let me state from the outset that this will NOT be an AAR like esrice produces. I am neither that talented nor that disciplined. I don't take notes, I absorb ... and then forget, sadly. So, it will be brief and contain whatever high points I can recall.
That said, I have trained...
Just a heads-up for shooters in the South Bend/Elkhart/Goshen area that a new range has officially opened in Goshen called "Shoot to Thrill." It's located just east of downtown on Lincoln, behind Rocket Guns.
At this point, I know nothing about what training will be offered there, but from...
For anyone interested in taking Dave Spaulding's "Reduced Light Pistol" course, he will be running this 2-day course at Kodiak Firing Range on January 25-26, 2014.
Dave was the 2010 Law Enforcement Trainer of the Year, and is actively involved in teaching others the art of armed self-defense...
Seeing Scutter01's new avatar, he will find this amusing ...
With kids spread far and wide, we decided to enjoy a Krank's Christmas this year -- we didn't put up a tree, we mailed off all of the presents and we beat feet outta here for sunny ARIZONA! It had been a long time since the two of us...
I know that the coming days will bring several threads wishing one and all a merry Christmas, happy New Year, happy Kwanzaa or festive Festivus, but I wanted to throw in a gift as well. No, I'm not giving away a brand-new Kimber or AR, as much as I would love to. You're on your own for that...
I'd like some input from those who care to chime in ...
Before the craziness set in, I bought a Rock River LAR-8 lower. Now, I'm debating how to build it up. I had intended to buy a RRA upper and make it into a semi-precision, long-range, reach-out-and-touch-someone-with-love rifle, but am...
Some months ago, I looked at my trusty ol' Mossberg 500 lying on my closet shelf, loaded with generic 00 buck shells, and decided that it needed a makeover. So, I installed a "tactical" stock and foregrip.
This makeover involved more disassembly than I had anticipated, but Ol' Mossy got a...
I'm trying to be better about posting AARs as soon as possible after taking a course. At my age, memories are quickly displaced by really important daily tasks like eating and bowel movements. :laugh:
I took the Introduction to Defensive Carbine class with Defensive Solutions, LLC, on...
I may regret this, but I'm thinking about registering for the Appleseed at Rochester. I've read AARs, read through the FAQs here on INGO and on the Appleseed website.
I don't like new experiences very often. I usually end up making a fool of myself somehow. I'm trusting the opinions of...
Not really.
However, feel free to use this thread when he returns. Better to have a placeholder than to run the risk of the Break Room being too jammed to accept new threads. :D
Hurry back, Bunnykid.
Since Que resurrected my first AAR of the training that I took at the Kodiak Firing Range in South Bend with Norm Hood of Defensive Solutions, LLC, it dawned on me that I never followed up with an AAR of the Level Two training. Oops.
I know that an AAR is much more interesting when pictures...
First date last night. It's been awhile since I have been out with one so unattractive. I've gotten used to being with really sexy-looking, lean and mean ones for so long that I'd forgotten that ugly ones need some lovin', too.
I took her to the range to see how she'd do. We went all the...
