    Oh yeah, heck of a shot. My buddy took the photo over a 15 second exposure and just so happened to catch that shooting star.

    Any issues with using a steel ammo can? Problems if house fire?

    Are you asking if you had a house fire if they would keep your ammo from cooking off? I would assume they would not depending on how bad the fire was. But neither would plastic ammo cans. I have both kinds and they both have gaskets keeping them water proof. But I doubt they would be fire proof. Your best bet to keep things fireproof is to have them stored inside a decent safe.

    More concerned if the steel ones would escalate a problem that wouldn't be there with the plastic ones if there was a fire

    In my opinion I would think the steel ones would be safer than plastic in a fire. But I have no proof of that. I would think the plastic ones would melt quickly. NoleNBlue not to open a fresh wound but did you have any experience with rounds cooking off in your house fire?

    Own a dozen hexmags - 5 of them don't like to seat on a closed bolt when full. No advantage for me over pmag, ymmv

    Multiple purchases today. This Spyderco Mamba is fucking enormous for a pocket knife. Bowie and Persian are my favorite blade shapes. I didn't even know Spyderco made $300+ knives until I saw this.

    Be careful with Turpin customs, he's made some really poor business decisions in the past year.

    He's apparently made good or making good on that whole debacle, don't think I'd get one of his customs just based on the fact that he let it go that long and get that bad.

    Anyone have experience with RMR's or Red Dots or whatever the fuck they're called on handguns? I've shot someones AIDS infested Glock that had a dot on it but the sights didn't co-witness so it seemed sketchy. Is there a shooting advantage when it's properly done? I'm considering the Nighthawk or Ed Brown. I would consider others but I think they're the only two doing it with 1911's, plus I'm not about to send a slide out to get milled as that wont give me an excuse to buy a new gun.



    Leaning towards the Brown.
