  1. Range report The M4 was fun. Kicks harder than the 930, but the ghost rings make up for it. Sadly, only holds 4+1 of the 2 3/4 shells we got and the action makes loading a bit of a pain in the ass. The thin barrel gets hot fucking fast. The Glock flipped less than I expected. Sights are okayish. Other than changing those, I'll probably leave the slide stock. As it's not broken in yet, ejection was weak at first, only throwing brass far enough to gently hit me in the head a few times. Reminiscent of low recoil brass in my 930. Got slightly better a few mags in. Magpul mags are a pain in the ass. Glock factory on the left, Magpul on the right. Both 15 round mags.
  2. They’re demonized because users were NEVER NOTIFIED. As far as they knew, their phones were just slower. Doesn’t help when older iPhone batteries typically lasted a year, maybe two. Long enough for at least one new iPhone model to come out. And the issue was not as severe on comparable alternatives.
  3. No, it doesn't. Quality of gasoline comes down to two things: quality of the process and quality of the additives. Doesn't make you a gasoline tech, and I'm pretty sure Mercedes employes janitors. Just saying you work there doesn't mean much. Many mixes in the US include cleaners for fuel injectors and cylinder heads. If a cat is getting gunked up faster, then it's doing it's job.
  4. Pure also doesn't mean it's higher quality.
  5. We don't know that much. All we know is that there was a discussion. Most of the Politico article, which is what the other articles use as their source, is discussion the ramifications if the US does try to ban encryption. But they don't outright claim that the Trump Administration is for or against it.
  6. The article using a delibritely misleading title is not an excuse for you doing the same. That does not equate to ' The US might ban encryption.'
  7. The source stated that a meeting occured with some regard to encryption. Your thread is claiming that the US might ban some forms of encryption. You're spinning the story.
  8. 19 Gen 4. 17 was too expensive, 48 doesn't share mags with my Sub 2000, and I find the magwell of the gen 5 uncomfortable.
  9. Again, they're missing traceable sources and are written on the basis of "opinion." Also, I never claimed who these opinion pieces were meant to discredit, just that they're being used to discredit the current administration in the context of this thread.
  10. Some people are so lazy that they'd rather invite the Gestapo into their house than burn a calorie.
  11. False, the 3 articles he uses in the opinion section doesn't link sources and read like hit pieces/propaganda. Largely because they don't link sources, a common thing amongst hit pieces.
  12. Also, when I say "opinion" pieces, I really mean that they're likely hit pieces. Pieces that exist solely to discredit. Akin to any and all media pushing the Russian Collusion conspiracy theory as absolute fact.
  13. Using some flimsy “opinion” pieces to discredit the current Administration, not really that shocking. I don’t disagree with crypto being unstable and thus unusable as a form of currency. Nor do I think it should be legally recognized as anything other than a high risk gamble.
  14. Personally, I'd go with a shield that has the manual safety.
  15. Few differences: Clothes are more of a necessity than saving a couple of bucks on luxuries. Sourcing clothes not made in China is substantially harder than sourcing software from legitimate retailers.
  16. Tell that to the DEA agent that made headlines either last year or two years ago. Trigger discipline is not an absolute. I guarantee everyone in this thread either has, or will, fuck up multiple times. Regardless of how much training one does.
  17. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-owens-glock-accidents-20150508-story.html This is the closest thing to actual statistical evidence available without actually compiling individual instances myself. Simply put, the lack of a safety is a liability. At least the folding frame circumvents accidentally pulling the trigger; as for your concern of how long it takes to deploy: it can be done rather fast with training. ”””Muh trigger discipline””” is a shitty catch phrase that doesn’t hold up to human nature, and as far as I’m concerned, anyone advocating it alone instead of having legitimate safeties as fallbacks loses all credibility when it comes to gun safety and carrying.
  18. So? “””Muh trigger discipline””” is a common excuse to not having safety mechanism, and more people shoot themselves or others as a result of that line of thinking than they should.
  19. That cocky attitude is shared by many people that accidentally shoot themselves.
  20. That one is actually cool and probably a better method to carry a Glock than a standard Glock: You can’t accidentally shoot someone because you pulled the trigger picking it up or drawing it.
