You can take the rear sight off and polish the parts inside if you're confident in your abilities. There's a trick to it, which is to watch this boring ass video and this dude explains it to you... like you're 5.

 

 

 

Thanks for the post, good info  :thumbup:

Youngest boys 6th birthday is coming up in June. I bought a bolt action 22lr cricket rifle (literally says "my first rifle") for my oldest when he turned 6 that both boys have been trained on (1.5 yrs apart). Thinking of picking up a 10/22 for the youngest birthday. 

 

Pics from back in January.

Great!  Start them off on a bolt action single shot to teach them ammo conservation.  A separate "must cock the firing pin" action is a great safety option for a novice [and under aged] learner.  My first rifle was a smooth bore Mossberg with a screw on 4 inch rifled adapter.  Surprisingly accurate as a rifle given the distance to the rifling.  And a hell of a lot fun as a mini shotgun!

Exactly, this is a learner's rifle and it has the separate "must cock the firing pin" action and a key that can lock out the action.  Probably the best $100 I've spent. Kids and even my wife have had a lot of fun with it. Usually been using subsonic rounds to make it more friendly.

Thats a sweet little learners gun  :thumbup:

It's more about how you carry something than what you carry. I concealed an AR pistol with a 9.5" barrel for a while. It was suuuuuuuper uncomfortable, but I never got called out on it.

 

I like the single stack 9mm for EDC. I know there isn't really a difference between a single stack and a double stack subcompact but it's just enough of a difference to make me do one over the other.

 

Today though is a dual carry day. 442, and G26 because of where I am, and what I'm doing.

 

And Skib, you have any questions hmu, I'm a certified armorer for M&P shit so if I can't answer it, I know the nerds at the factory to ask. That rebate they got right now is hot. $225 after the rebate for a Shield 9mm....

People that are raised around guns, and taught proper handling and technique rarely have accidents. I'd MUCH rather have a kid that knows what to do with loaded guns find one than some kid that's only seen them on television.

 

I'm old though....

Exactly my thought. My kids know not to touch an unattended gun and to leave and get an adult.

My buddies soon to be wife put a hole thru the floor of his ok apartment with a pistol she knew was unloaded, yeah another reason I don't like Glocks, squeeze the trigger to disassemble.

 

Another idiot friend that out a hole thru his roof with a 1911 that he knew was unloaded. As the story goes it was unloaded but he racked the slide on a full mag so he could pull the trigger, the make it worse he yelled "desk pop!" when he pulled the trigger, moron. Glad I wasn't there cause I would have hit him with the fucking thing.

RW was a small arms instructor for a looooonnnngggg time.

 

Rule number one is:

 

The gun is always loaded until it clearly has been proven otherwise.

 

Rule number two is:

 

Never! put your finger on the trigger until you have clearly idetified your target and are ready to destroy it.

 

It never ceases to amaze me of the number of dickheads who dont get this.

 

I even check my firearms to make sure their clear when I pull them out of the safe(s) and this is even though I know they are unloaded.

 

Never had an AD in 34 years of shooting and carrying (for work).

Keep the booger hook out of the bang hole.

And....... Dangerous end towards the target.

 

Simple principles that fucktards dont get !

I've watched three people shoot themselves accidentally.

 

1. A Master Sergeant Military Policeman, approached the clearing barrel (a device designed to catch a round if you're disassembling your weapon or turning it into the armorer). He grabbed his Baretta M9, drew it out of the holster, supporting the weight of the weapon with his index finger and shot himself through the holster and into his leg while "demonstrating" proper weapon clearing. In case you're wondering this does not qualify you for a Purple Heart.

 

2. At the police academy, draw your Sig, load a round in the chamber, decock it, engage the safety and holster. Dude shot himself in the leg reholstering his weapon.... during the incident investigation brief I was laughing too hard to hear the details. Realitively minor injury, thankfully it was a .45.

 

3. After clearing a house that had been burglarized, I walked back in with the home owner. He pulled a .22 rifle out and muzzle swept me. I explained that was wildly inappropriate, and to "prove" to me it was unloaded, he put his own fucking hand over the barrel and pulled the trigger. If you want to get your ass kicked by me, that's a pretty good start. It resulted in a broken jaw and a small gun shot wound to the hand.

Weird that .22 kick so much to break his jaw...

I agree completely.

 

 

I'm old though....

 

Yeah. That's going around.

 

I caught it too.

As he jerked in pain, the barrel came in an arc that would have muzzle swept me again. I grabbed the gun harder than I meant and cracked him with it as it broke free of his grip. His mouth was open and he was bending forward. It wasn't my intention, but it happened.

No, seriously.  What the hell do you have on your damned feet?
