Yes, it’s a Glock format, but the nice thing is you can practice dry fire, and mag changes without having to rack the slide every time. It also has adjustments for the trigger pressure, overtravel and a number of other adjustments. You can also put specific sights on it to match your sights on your carry or target pistol too!
I’m planning on using it as a teaching aid, in addition to practicing at home (since I gave away my Laserlyte cartridge to a neighbor that had just picked up a new pistol and couldn’t get ammo to shoot regularly.
After attending the class with Bill at EIAft, I was sold, and even more so now. Now I need to start setting up a ‘training wall’ like Bill has…
Seems that no one knows how many have actually signed up for obummercare… Delaware apparently has ONE that has actually signed up, and now this from BCBS in ND…
The Obama administration asked North Dakota’s largest health insurer not to publicize how many people have signed up for health insurance through a new online exchange, a company official says.
/snip/
Still, a spokeswoman from Blue Cross Blue Shield says about 14 North Dakotans have signed up for coverage since the federal exchange went live Oct. 1. That brings total statewide enrollment to 20 – less than one a day.
On the other hand, companies are dumping policies like crazy because they “don’t comply” with the new rules…
Among the insurance companies terminating policies are Kaiser Permanente in California, which sent notices to 160,000 policy holders; Highmark Pittsburgh, which dropped 20% of its individual market customers; and Independence Blue Cross, a major insurer in Philadelphia, eliminating 45% of its individual policies, Kaiser reports. The biggest hit comes in Florida, where insurer Florida Blue has dropped 300,000 policies.
0622 am Oct 23, 1983 marked a historic event for the Marines…
And NOT in a good way. The Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon was bombed on this day 30 years ago, causing the highest loss of life (218) in a single eventthe USMC have ever experienced…
They were in Beriut as part of a UN MNF of ‘Peacekeepers’, and were pretty much locked down in their compound by policy and this included the inability to carry loaded weapons and defend themselves…
18 Sailors and 3 Soldiers were also killed in the blast. To say this was a horrific incident is putting it mildly… Two truck bombs were set off by suicide bombers that the Marines on duty were not able to stop, as they were NOT allowed loaded weapons.
You can go HERE and see the original CBS reporting.
For all the good it’s done, last year, after almost three decades, the families of those killed and the survivors won a $2.1 billion judgment against Iran for ordering the terrorist attack, which followed a 2007 judgment of $2.7 billion against Iran.
I doubt that they will ever see a penny of the money, but at least the families have the satisfaction of knowing there WAS a verdict in favor of those who died.
RIP gentlemen, at least here you are not forgotten.
Kick the tires, light the fires, first one in the air is lead, brief on guard…
Uh Boss, isn’t the ground supposed to be DOWN instead of UP???
The Pentagon on Friday said it will reinstate the Navy’s Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds flying teams, port visits, service weeks and band appearances, but at 45 percent of what the public outreach effort used to be.
Over the years, Wuerker learned to fly, joined the Civil Air Patrol and even built his own helicopter. That just fed his childhood urge to fly a World War II torpedo bomber.
He finally did something about it. In 2005, Wuerker found a TBM Avenger for sale, the same type of torpedo bomber used for training at NASW during the war. He plunked down $60,000 and bought it. It has taken eight years to restore and to get the FAA approvals for the plane and his own certifications needed to fly it, but Wuerker recently got it airborne for the first time since it was used to fight forest fires in Canada.
He said he finally got the feel for what “these kids” — the young men who trained at NASW, 42 of whom lost their lives in crashes around southern Cape May County between 1943 and ’45 — went through.
For your viewing pleasure, here’s a video of a TBM Avenger starting/taxi/flying…
Noisy bastards, and you DON’T make a right turn on takeoff under full power (P-factor torque will pull the airplane into the ground). And you’ll note he lets it go 12 blades before he flips the mags on to keep from blowing the bottom cylinders out of the engine (oil drains to the lowest cylinders, so 12 blades of turnover will get it distributed throughout the engine).
And they leak oil like a sieve… All the old recips do… In the Connie, the 3350’s had an 18 gallon oil reservoir, and was notorious for burning 6 gal and throwing 6 gal out during flights; then leaking the other 6 gal on the ground.
Another school shooting, this time the perp appears to be a THIRTEEN year old…
Family members later identified the staff member who was killed as math teacher Michael Landsberry, 45. The suspected gunman was also dead, and authorities say no shots were fired by law enforcement. Washoe County Emergency Manager Aaron Kenneston told Reuters that the gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
I just do NOT understand what is going on out there, where a 13 year old brings a gun to school and shoots a teacher, or anybody else for that matter… Thoughts and prayers for the family of Mr. Landsberry, he stepped up and gave his life to protect others.
Copycat? Who knows… But you can bet it will be a cold day in hell before we hear the entire story…
Holder (spit) apparently came out and was dancing in the blood of the victims this afternoon, proclaiming that mass shootings were up 150% in the last few years…
I’m guessing the administration is not even bothering to find out basic information before they jump out there with the anti-gun rhetoric…
These are the ‘doors’ to the Japanese Navy command cave at Yokosuka, JA. There are over twenty MILES of caves that honeycombed the base starting in about 1938…
Rather simple… Handle and a pull bar. Note the rollers and tracks in the bottom of the picture.
THIS is why they have rollers on the outside! Just a ‘tad’ thick, about 8 inches worth of battle steel…
A look at the inside of the door. Probably 4 1/2 feet wide by 8 feet tall.A look at the second set of blast doors, looking back toward the entrance…
Notice that this set of doors opens inward… And you can see the curved entry area which s-turns back the other way behind where I took the picture from…
And this is a close up of the latch mechanism and the man hatch in the door. These doors are about 1/2 inch thick. There is actually a THIRD set that again opens outward that are around the curve from this set and seals off the rest of the tunnels.
And you too can now own your own Japanese toilet seat…
For only $800, it washes, it waxes, it blow dries, and has a remote control to raise and lower the seat… AND IT’S IN DUTY FREE!!!
