    US Army DID seize Dominion Servers in Germany

    It’s also not possible to have 2 or 3 times more votes than registered voters which apparently happened in some counties.

    Biden’s Gun Control Plan

    I haven’t heard much about hoe this would effect NY, but seems it would be difficult to register semiautomatic firearms with the NFA since NFA are not an option for New Yorkers. Anyone hear of any pro gun organizations looking at that potential issue or am I missing something?

    NYS Compliant AR-15

    I would still prefer featureless vs fixed mag. There are plenty of work arounds to reload through ejection port and different ways to pull back pin if you go fixed mag. I would just want my rifle to function as designed and clear malfunctions, if needed,the way I was trained to.

    DONE Crimson Trace Laser Grips 1911s

    In house the green is noticeably more powerful, but outside it’s not even close. The green laser is bright and visible as far as I can see.

    DONE Crimson Trace Laser Grips 1911s

    Cabela's ruling a warning shot against gun rights myopia

    I’m getting ready to retire from LEO career and NRA Instructor. How do I get one of these “expert witness jobs”? I doubt any of the activist DAs and Judges would like my opinion.

    Interesting night shooting

    I have seen a couple Coonan’s have problems if the ammo isn’t hot enough. Also the grip is wider that standard 1911. I like my DW Valor in 10mm better. It’s been reliable through the first 1000 rounds.

    Any gun smiths on this board in WNY?

    You could try Ryan at Lake Erie Arms. He is an FFL that builds ARs. He runs his business out of his house part time, but is great with anything AR.

    Pistol permit renewal is a PIA

    No problem. No one should even need a permit. The longer I have been in law enforcement, the more I am against gun control of any kind for law abiding citizens. I can’t wait to get out of this state.

    Which of these two optics should I get?

    If you have any type of astigmatism, you may do better with the circle dot. I have a hard time seeing a red dot. I don’t see a circle. The EOTech type reticle are easier for me to get fast and accurate shots at distance. For CQB it doesn’t really matter either way.

    Pistol permit renewal is a PIA

    I will check. If it is I will transfer everything to badge until retirement in 6 months. I’m planning on leaving NY State anyway within a year. Even if I stay , quite a few coworkers retired without getting a permit and just carry on retired creds/LEOSA. I think the benefit of the permit is that...

    Pistol permit renewal is a PIA

    I thought I did it online. I need to get it squared away though. I just inherited a few guns, but probably won’t carry until I add it permit. I’m planning on retiring in 6 month, I still have stuff on my badge that I will probably transfer to permit.

    AR pistol in Erie County

    I agree with you. The question was about getting it on a permit without issues in Erie County. I don’t think we should even need permits.

    AR pistol in Erie County

    It doesn’t. It just might be easier to get an FFL to write up a receipt describing AR pistol with barrel length and caliber.

    AR pistol in Erie County

    He wouldn’t just put the upper on your lower and charge you for it? It would take less than a minute. There is plenty of FFL that will. Just tell them you need a receipt to show it’s a pistol. Probably DD’s would do it, but call a few FFL’s.

    How much ammo do you keep on stock just incase?

    Not quite enough for a 30 day siege, but not worried about going to the range weekly.

    AR pistol in Erie County

    You could probably bring the upper to the FFL and have him assemble it for $20 or so if you are concerned.

    Sling set up for AR

    I like the Viking tactic V TAC. Haley Strategic makes a good sling also, but since the V Tac is on work rifle, I just keep it simple.

    Talk to me about Glock trigger upgrades - G48 edition

    I used to go to Niagara Gun Range every weekend and usually run 300 rounds through my Glock 17 and then another 100-200 through something else. They closed before all this COVID stuff, but definitely need to find a place soon.

    Talk to me about Glock trigger upgrades - G48 edition

    I used the Overwatch Precision trigger on a couple glocks. My only gen 5 Glock is a 19 and didn’t do anything to the trigger. I’m not sure what spring mods work with gen 5, but the minus connector shouldn’t be an issue. I don’t like to mess with firing pin/striker springs on a carry gun. I will...

    belt recommendations

    I tried almost all of the new tech belts from Kore, Ares Gear and am back to a thick leather/synthetic mix. I have had a Lenwood Leather belt for 7 years and still looks new. It’s a thick leather with a second layer of conveyor belt material. Cobra, Arres and other buckles are well designed, but...

    .450 BM wont cycle.

    I did not catch that he used an A2 stock. I have seen a few 50 Beowulf ship with standard buffers and the heavier buffers solved the problem. My point was just to to look at other possibilities before messing with the gas system when there is no apparent parts defect.

    Red Flag law mans guns seized for his kid posting a meme

    Red Flag law mans guns seized for his kid posting a meme

    I haven’t heard any politicians on either side bring up this little detail. I think most Americans would be against this. At least I would hope so. Since most of these red flag confiscations are a result of words not actually committing crimes, it violates the 1st amendment in addition to the...

    What is the LEO exemption? What can they own that we can't?

    Glock 43 issue?

    I believe that is normal for the spring to move up during firing. When you assemble it the spring sits in the bottom notch, but when the slide moves the spring sits in the notch above it. There isn't as much spring tension in my 43 as there is in my other glocks, but the recoil spring does the...

    NYPD ignored 1,500 requests from Feds to detain illegal immigrants

    Criminal law takes precedence. Once ICE takes custody they are working on removing them. The idea is to let them face the punishment for their crimes and then remove them after. Especially because they might be back in the country a few days after they get deported. Also depending on how they...

    NYPD ignored 1,500 requests from Feds to detain illegal immigrants

    The request is an immigration detainer stating the ICE has an interest in the alien whether for entering illegally, prior deport or part of an investigation. ICE requests that after they are done with whatever local charge they were arrested on , to be notified before being released. All these...
