Gettin' popular!

Seriously, someone has actually read my blog? How the hell did that happen? I want to say if you have taken time out of your day and actually come here to read my drivel then you should be appreciated. Thanks again!

The disconnect is WIDE....

How fucked up do you have to be to have as your biggest concern with the economy being "It's a real shame that this economy has put a crimp on Obama's spending." That's like saying it's a real shame that Grandma's is dying because there goes my Christmas money. I see people like this and now I know who was rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Glock in decline?

I have to agree Richard Johnson's take on the supposed decline of Glock. This isn't the Titanic or the Ottoman Empire by any means, but they have definitely been in some stagnant waters for a long time. Glock (my pistol of choice) is a great gun. It works, it's durable, it works, it's ugly, it's easy enough for a cop or federal agent to figure out how to work, and my favorite- It's cheap! Those things make it a winner....for now, but the day has come where the same durability is being found in many other pistols for around the same price, and with Glock's new, super duper disco gun with its problems. It is starting to look alot like Obama's re-election campaign. Glock is nowhere near dead, but it should be noted that they have seriously fumbled the launch of something that should have been a no-brainer! I believe Glock will work out their flaws, but like Johnson noted:

"While Glock stayed out of long guns, S&W actively pursued the AR market with the M&P15 line of rifles. This offers departments a “one stop shopping” experience with Smith. S&W can sell an agency duty guns, backup guns, and rifles, and is likely to offer sweeter contract terms for the department to get the deal. "

You have to admit that is an edge that Glock cannot match, and one that will plague them for years to come. Also, that grip angle on there....that ain't nowhere near perfection.

Sexless Blue Devils

Back in the day, I went to a party at Duke. The chicks there were so frigid that I figured out that the Blue in Blue Devils most likely came from frostbite. Now that sex is illegal there, maybe they will start to warm up. In all seriousness, what business is it of the university to tell adults who they can and cannot sleep with?

Why can't we be like Europe?

Well because we might start looking like this.

Slow is smooth and peanut butter is chunky

In the world of the fine art of firearms there is a lot of provocation concerning the issue of proper gunhandling. One thing that seems to be erupting constantly is that "I am right, and you are doing it wrong." Now, in real life we judge things by the results. Seriously, I tolerate gun culture for the most part. It is usually filled with people who really know what they are doing (You can usually tell them because they are the ones who actually listen to you and do not dictate What you should do)and many of those who seriously do not (these are the ones who have shot for 20+ years, and still can't hit the broad side of a barn). Today after reading about the issue of trigger pulls Here and here I have come to the conclusion that shooting is purely subjective and thank God it is. It's one thing to insist on proper and safe gunhandling, but the inclination so much nowadays is that pistol shooting is a form of dogma developed by Jeff Cooper or one of the many people that slept in his guest house. Seriously, I think pistol shooting and any pistol shooting should be judged by the results. Is it safe should be an issue (something that was brought up at length in both articles on trigger pull), but also is it functional? Is what you are doing functional enough to safely operate in a manner that will preserve your life without hurting innocent people in the process? Shooting is an Art, but the sport is seriously lacking true artists and is plagued by over-zealous clergymen.
