How does the gun group with the rear sight like that? I had to drift mine WAY over to get it to shoot straight, as long as it hits where you want it, it's fine.

I imagine the manager pressured the employee not to press charges, for whatever screwed up reason. I would hope the responding officers informed the employee that it wasn't up to her manager if she pressed charges against her attacker or not, and even when she stated she didn't, they should have...

Because they advertise that they do. If they don't want to be in the business of installing batteries (and I get why they wouldn't), they shouldn't lie about it. Ten years ago I went to the auto parts place for a battery, there was one guy working and he said he'd get to me but it'd be a while...

Just wanted to follow up on my saga... The BG2.0 is hands down the must frustrating gun I've ever owned. I did replace the rear sight with one from a BG380. It definitely narrowed the gaping chasm that the stock sight had and is a little higher to boot which should theoretically help with...

My grandfather was a WWII vet (Navy). After he got home he got married, had kids, and got a job at the mill just like everybody else. One day there was a trailer at the mill entrance, recruiting for the Reserves. A little extra money every month sounded good, and the world was at peace, so why...

Ironic how his plan to weaken NATO influence in Eastern Europe backfired so spectacularly by bringing Sweden and Finland into NATO, opening up a huge military liability for Russia that had not previously existed.

I have a 98k with Waffenamt stamps, I didn't buy the rifle because of them and they never bothered me. Having a cool, historical rifle to take out to the range isn't the same as supporting the cause that commissioned the rifle 80 years ago. The fact that a tool of war of the "thousand year...

I tried Herter's (Bass Pro house brand made by Winchester) and Blazer today, the Herter/Winchester shot tighter groups but both were low at 10 yards just like all the other ball ammo I tried. So far everything has fed fine except Magtech, but those were the first rounds out of the gun so I...

Ditto Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, from everything I've seen you're pretty much guaranteed to have to drift the sights. I did on mine.

The ones who irk me are the people who were born on third base but act like they hit a triple. You know, inherited Daddy's money and have a string of failed businesses behind them, don't pay their bills and act like they're business geniuses anyway. I'm not wealthy, but as I like to remind my...

Agreed, but Russia will absolutely never go nuclear over Iran and everyone knows it. This is a country in legitimate danger of a ground invasion by Finland, Putin knows he can only push his luck so far before everything collapses around him. And I apologize for the tone of my earlier post- I'd...

As somebody who just went through this exact same decision-making process and ended up buying a BG2.0, here are my thoughts: There are several things that have to be considered when selecting a carry gun, and they all impact the others. An advantage in one area means a tradeoff in another, you...

Dunno if you've seen the news lately, but Russia has its hands full fighting year 3 of a disastrous war they should have won in week 3. If Iran thinks they can get help from Russia, I think they're going to be disappointed- this is a country so desperate that they're buying arms from North Korea.

I'd give that a shot (bah-dum-pah!), but there is no possible way I'll ever need 500 rounds of .380 XD, and even at that price it's still too expensive to use as range ammo.
