Any EDC CCW'ers?
Psychology is practiced in a scientific way, but psychology as a discipline doesn't meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: quantifiability, clearly defined terminology, reproducibility, controlled experimental conditions, and predictable...- Jacob74

Any EDC CCW'ers?
I have a "no shit there I was" story about an ND that if I hadn't watched from point blank, I would never believe as a story . When we would enter secure areas while deployed, we'd clear our weapons at a clearing point...a formal process that squad leaders oversee. At the time, I was the...- Jacob74

Any EDC CCW'ers?
Most shotguns aren't drop safe, a very serious reason to consider keeping a round out of the chamber until ready to destroy something (especially if you have cats). In my military career, I carried Mossberg 500 series shotguns, and we always carried them magazine tube fully loaded, no round...- Jacob74

***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***
Just inaugurated a new Peterson Newgrange 221, my first spigot pipe. 4Noggins Prairie Wind circa 2021 was the first blend through. As my Pete Standard is already pretty much dedicated to VA's and VAPer's, this one might get Lat dedicated.- Jacob74

All Day Smoking Tobacco Recommendations?
+1 for SWRA. It's aromatic enough to give you the sweet booze hit and keep the bystanders from fleeing, but has enough of the burley presence to not get monotonous.- Jacob74

Plastic Rifles
The tale I've heard is that on early m16's that loading on to a closed bolt with a mag totally full would sometimes result in the round not seating correctly, so shooters would leave a round or two out to make sure there was room for the spring under the follower of the mag to compress. Those...- Jacob74

Plastic Rifles
I only had two weapons malfunctions in combat.The first one was in Baghdad, reacting to contact when a sniper took some shots at our COP entry control point while I was Sergeant of the Guard on a non patrol day. I was shooting an M4, and I had a real bitch of a double feed coming out of a...- Jacob74

Glocks are as Generic as a 1911
...and as an additional PSA, please do not cheap out on the holster. Get something with some retention built in, it's just so embarrassing to lose control of your weapon. I'll never forget being in a scuffle, and watching my gunner haul ass to from cover to cover with a 240b in his hands, and...- Jacob74
