  1. ...don't give a fuck. http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/2011/10/15/aacs-mpw-honey-badger-dont-care/ http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/aac-honey-badger/101211od_ausa11137.jpg http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/aac-honey-badger/101211od_ausa11138.jpg http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/aac-honey-badger/101211od_ausa11144.jpg http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/wp-content/blogs.dir/5/files/aac-honey-badger/101211od_ausa11147.jpg I'm not really seeing the niche, but kind of want anyways. Nothing too revolutionary, but the stock/upper is neat. Not to mention, it just looks sweet. Rumor has it they may possibly be going into production in 2013. :masturboy:
  2. Don't get me started on my Colorado. I'm not as big of a GM fan as I once was, that's for sure.
  3. They prefer to rely on their uneducated emotions to make their decisions.
  4. Utah has allowed this for awhile now. I have heard of no such incidents. Same with the 'carry in bars' incidents that all the anti's screamed were going to happen. Fact: An armed society is a polite society.
  5. I'd take a Contour over a Hero, but that's just me. I like the form factor better and the features. YMMV.
  6. Murdered-out stethoscope 32" LCD TV (non-LED :/ ) cologne money
  7. I had an RS4-3 at one time. Badass car, but a money pit for sure.
  8. I once took the engine out of my RS4C and put in the motor from my savage (like 2x the displacement). I never clocked it, but you could not keep the car straight. It was insanely hard to drive.
  9. There's nothing wrong with that method (called the slingshot method), however, I wouldn't train using ONLY that method. You never know when your support hand will be taken out of the fight (broken, shot off, etc.), so I'd throw in some practice with dropping the slide using the lock, as well as racking the gun using the sights.
  10. Is there a silver lever in the trigger?
  11. I buy my guns for me and me alone. I have no desire to show them off. My biggest concern is protecting them. So, I'd buy a safe. The only way I'd go for some sort of display case is if I had a walk-in vault.
  12. Alright, I seem to see a lot of people talking about 'stopping' or 'knock-down power' all the time on here. Most of the time I choose to ignore it, and just allow people to believe what they want. I've read various articles over the years regarding the subject and have always found the subject of 'stopping power' quite laughable. It's as if people seem to think a person is going to get knocked off their feet when hit with certain rounds. Remember Issac Newton? For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. How many people have you seen get knocked-off their feet when they pull the trigger? :dumb: Anyways, here's an article to a pretty good research study that Greg Ellifritz did. He has multiple books that he has written through the years and is quite knowledgeable on the subject of shooting people. First, here's the full article if you want to read it, which I think you should: http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/7866 Second, for the folks who say tl;dr, here's some cliff notes for you: -Handguns suck. If you want to actually incapacitate someone with the most efficiency, shoot them with a rifle or shotgun. Imagine that. -The .380 vs. 9mm vs. .40 vs. .45 debate is completely stupid. All are so close in results that not a single one of them can be definitively declared 'better'. -Shot placement is key! Head shots = 75% immediate incapacitation. Torso shots = 41% immediate incapacitation. Extremity shots = 14% immediate incapacitation. In summary, pick a weapon you shoot well, and practice with it. Practice > bullet design > caliber. All day. Every day. -Most people don't want to get shot. About 1/2 of all the people shot in this study stopped their attack after just 1 shot. This includes people who weren't incapacitated. Mr. Ellifritz refers to this as a 'psychological stop', meaning, no matter what they were shot with (including .25, .22, .32 calibers!) they stopped immediately because they decided they didn't want to be shot anymore. For those that didn't stop with 1 shot, the normal carry calibers shined above the mouse guns. -On average, it takes around 2 shots to incapacitate a person, no matter the caliber. Anyways, I just thought I'd share that. You can draw your own conclusions, but in the end, it doesn't really matter what you carry. It just matters that the gun you choose works when you need it to, and you can put the bullets where you need them.
  13. The problem with the country isn't the .gov. It's the stupid population that keeps electing them. And in the words of my boy, Ron White, "You can't fix stupid."
  14. This right here. I don't currently own a G17 (:masturboy:), but do own a G19, and that is what I would consider my go-to gun. BTW, there is no such thing as knock-down power. This isn't the movies where people go flying backwards 10ft when hit with a round. It pokes a hole in them and that's it. Bullet design dictates how nasty your hole is, though.
