@Glocker how far is your AO from Forsyth? I'm going to be back up at GPSTC Aug 2-3 for a 2 day pistol optic class.

I'm a couple hours north of there. I'll be there the 9th through the 20th for Driving Instructor. I'm not looking forward to 2 weeks at GPSTC. Arghhhhhh.

Enjoy the carry optics class!

Back a year ago when I used a bud’s CNC machine to build a training barricade. Wouldn’t do this today with lumber costs.

Ahhhhh. I hate the V-TAC barrier. I don't get up and down off the ground that easy anymore. HAHAHAHA

I like the hinged design. Once I’m a millionaire, I might make one of those, or maybe have one made out of something cheaper……like titanium or melted down bars of silver.

HAHAHA You're making me feel like a millionaire. This project is wrapping up at the house:

Flexing pretty hard with all that lumber! ?

So I am pretty much in love with the LWD 3.5 disconnector and LWD lightweight striker spring. Ran a few hundred rounds with only a couple of fliers with no hiccups. The trigger feels damn close to a SAO hammer fired pistol.

With that said, it is my understanding as the striker spring begins to wear out from use is when you will probably start to see light strike failures, but man this made me actually like shooting my Glock.

For shits and giggles I ran the (not very challenging) GA mandate standard qualification course and scored 294/300 easy like sunday morning. As usual 25 yards even with a RDS is my arch nemesis and threw three rounds into the 8 pointers.

Remington model 10 trench gun build. I bought and extra front half off ebay so I didn't cut down the original numbers matching 30" barrel. I had to make the wooden handguard myself because no one makes them anymore. It came out OK.

absolutely gorgeous!, the germans hated those damn things. there were very deadly when german troops would try to infiltrate allied trenches. They even offered bounties to men who killed a dough boy carrying one. lots of history there.

Cleaned my father-in-law's Remington model 24. I am going to take it to the range this week to see if it runs. He passed this spring and my Mother-in-law gave it to me when we visited this summer.

Looks like more than half the counties in America are now 2A counties. I'm a little surprised at how little there are in UT but not a bit surprise at the ones who aren't.

61% of American Counties are Now Second Amendment Sanctuaries

Washington DC – -(AmmoLand.com)- According to the Gun Owners of America, as of June 2021, 1,930 counties, cities, and towns have passed Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinances (SASO).


Over sixty- percent of counties in America have declared themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

Second Amendment Sanctuary is not a well-defined term; neither is Sanctuary City for illegal aliens.

The purpose of a SASO is to express opposition or noncompliance with state or federal gun control. When cities, counties, or states refuse to enforce state or federal gun control, they become sanctuary zones.

I was waiting for one of my liberal buddies to bitch about 2A sanctuary counties to bitch about how you can't make your own laws so I can point to the sanctuary city bs.

Well, this might make everything a little more interesting...

So I attended the GPSTC 2-day pistol optics course. By far one of the most enjoyable classes to date, but it was probably due un-normal circumstances, which in turn should get them to re-think class sizes.

This is a brand new course offered by one of GA's largest LE training facilities. This was the first class. 5 people showed up. Generally GPSTC will cancel if under 12 sign up for a class. However they know word of mouth will have to build up to get attendance up.

Due to low class size (2 instructors for 5 people is unheard of) it was very laid back, very hands on. Practically no downtime because a handful of idiots out of a 24 person class have weapon malfunctions, can't follow instructions, or just hold up the firing line for any number of stupid reasons. No "relays" (one group is live fire, while a second group stands by) due to instructor/student raitos. We could resurface targets after minimal use because of low student count. We ran all kinds of interesting drills I've never personally done before, some that were 50 rounds in length.

We burned through a metric shit-ton of ammo quick. By the end of the first day, I had a couple of random blisters (this is more of a glock problem), was drenched in sweat, and actually got to the point of, "Ok - I don't want to shoot anymore today". My hands were building up a steady layer of burnt powder.

I've been to 20+ student classes and often left feeling it could have been so much better. Half the time is standing around while other people do shit waiting for a turn. I believe while less training time overall through the year may be accomplished with 10 or less student classes, the training will matter more, be more beneficial to the students, and overall bring the impression and evaluations of the facility and its staff up. This basically boils down to the age old quality not quantity argument.

Now my dirty little secret. I ran my LWD 3.5 disco and LWD LW firing pin spring. I had zero failures due to the gun. We did have some ammo failures, but it was due to out of spec cartridges. We were using that Federal Synthtec or whatever orange tip training ammo.

Ammo is still bad, even for government operations. They say they normally never use this stuff, but where as they use to keep 100k 9mm in reserve, they are lucky to keep 5k in reserve now. They burn through the stuff as quickly as it comes in for all their classes.

Anyhow, great class, recommend it for those of you in LE that are in Georgia.
