i see dave...

i had a 4 second race with a mustang the other day (not newest style, one before that) was a convertible, huge dual exhausts. We were on the ramp getting on to 460 and as we enter the ramp he tries to show off and stomps down on it, only thing that saved me was i was still in the straight patch when i heard him so i was able to get a little speed before entering the kiss your ass on-ramp. I can't imagine the car is THAT awful in curves but i caught up to the pucker and pulled right up on his bumper, stayed there until the road got straight again... then he walked away from me, easily

i think the snobby part has a lot to do with the fact that 99% of people that say sound quality don't actually care about it or understand what it is.

a state cop friend has a chrono, i'll try and get a few measurments. but i bet your thinking hex barrel when i believe it's hex rifling. not 100% for sure, but i can't see a barrel NOT being round. seems if it wasn't, not only would gas escape, but it would throw the bullet into a wobble vs a tight spiral. and the s&w 460 mag is indeed the fastest handgun on the planet, save some one shot tc contender magnum rifle caliber. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you're probably right about the rifling, i was more interested in the results and kind of pissed that it was on a gun i have no desire to own. I have a friend with at least one glock (he was looking for another about 6mo ago) i need to get him to come down and shoot some.

Careful with the peel 'n seal, i hear it doesn't like to stick. the major advantage of 1 15" over 2x12" is the price...and you only have to fit one sub

i had a reply typed up in his thread, but deleted it. he's just cbfryman all over again. I can't understand why people ask for opinions when they don't really want them.. omg, as i typed that i had an epiphany....pimpedout must be a woman. I know every time a woman asks for my opinion she wants me to lie.

2000fps....holy chit yea, the barrel isn't round, it's got like a hexagonal cut or some chit, never really understood it (seems to me like gas would pass beside the bullet and cause it to not shoot the bullet as fast. But there was some test showing that the glock shooting the same round as a 1911 and the glock had much better bullet speeds.

I liked my 12" Q just fine in a sealed enclosure, i ended up switching for a 15 to get more low end but the 12 should have plenty for just about anyone.

welcome aboard, what are you thinking about changing?

i'm talking to myself

damn...only ryan2...and i'm betting he's leaving soon

i'm kind of bad in that i hate glocks and have never fired a single one. I just don't like the concept behind the gun, the way their technologies are implemented....well i do enjoy the weird barrel technology, forget what it's called now though.

I'll probably get ahold of him later this year or early next and start practicing with him, then shoot a couple competitions sometime next year.

yep, when he was selling me on the .38 super i told him i really liked the .45 so far, plenty of knockdown power and didn't kick as bad as my dad's 9mm. he then goes into the physics of the 9mm and why it's not that great of a round, explains how the .38 super is cartridged different for less kick and then just rubs it in by telling me his gun held 3x the ammo of mine.

is kent invisible?

before i had the work done to the GI i was shooting it at 100 yards, shots varied by about 4'-6' and damn do those bullets ricochet(bounce?) at that distance, watching them skip up the hill was kind of funny.

it looks a lot like a penis. yeah, it does. a penis that's shooting 230g .45 loads..hehe and can go 7-8 times without stopping. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee which reminds me...his .38 super, double stack with a huge mag well held i think 28 or 32 rounds....and that was without sticking past the mag well (except some of the bumper)

won't bother actually hitting reply..too much text. this guy said he usually cuts off the gun a little when he does a compensator (yea trims like 1/2" off the slide/barrel) so it's back down to a manageable size. With how little this guy has charged me so far, i'm betting for not too much more than that comp he'd put a real one on.

ryan2, that's more the style of shooting i'm used to. We've never been a rapid fire family, lol. One target, in the distance. one of my best shots was a pop can at about 90-100yards with my .22 (pistol of course). Took me two shots, one to see where the hell the bullet would be, the next put a hole right in the center of it. I should have kept the can.

i have the commander style on my kimber (factory). are you using an extended beaver tail? if so, is it already notched for the commander hammer? if not, it will need to be. i seem to recall you saying something about installing a different beavertail. i'll see if i can't dig up a closeup, or i'll take one later. the only thing i want to add to teh kimber is an extended slide release, and maybe a bushing style compensator. either of you guys use one of those? my kimber is starting to rust, the bastage. from sitting. i've oiled her up pretty good, but me thinks kimber will be getting a letter. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the beavertail has a groove cut in it, no idea if it's what you're talking about though. I had the crappy regular safety on it before but just had a bunch of work done to it. The guy did a pucking great job except for scratching the gun up a little when he put it in the vise (no big deal because i plan on polishing it to a mirror finish anyway). I had the beavertail installed, new extended safety (what you are thinking of is probably the extended slide release), had the whole thing tightened (very nice groups now for not having a nice barrel) had a full trigger job, brought the pull down to about 3.5lbs according to him, zero creep, also had the ejection port lowered flared and scalloped. I've heard the bushing style compensators are useless, they can't have a tolerance that's close enough to be effective. The guy that did my gun was shooting a .38 super with the works done to it including a compensator, and while he was awesome with the gun, it didn't jump at all. With mine it jumps a lot but it's also predictable and easy to come back down to target quickly. I am seriously debating a .38 super after talkin to him though. That's all he shoots now. I also must say, i have shot a lot, i consider myself to be above average with a pistol, and quite cocky when it comes to my abilities in general, but this is one guy i would never try to shoot against. He was shooting steel plates and just goofing off fired off 4-5 rounds scanning left to right, plates were farely large, about like a normal target would be, about 15yards out, but he fired quicker than i could have if i wasn't even aiming (honestly probably faster than my gun will even allow) hit every plate without hesitation. I plan on seeing a lot more of this guy and hope i can learn from him.

i was at sears today on a break and sold a router, a guy was asking what the difference was between the fixed base and plunge, and why he'd need one or the other, i watched him go through 3 salesmen all trying to bullchit him, and he'd tell them to go away because he knew they didn't know what they were talking about. After they all left i went up to him and explained it, he thanked me and picked up the plunge, i realized he thought i worked there cause i still had my gap lanyard on, i stopped him and let him know i didn't. It would have been funny watching them try to figure out who got my commission.
