Miwall .45ACP 230gr TMJ Reloaded Ammo Review

The ammo is made with mixed brass, and is packed loose in the 30-caliber ammocan as shown in the picture on the Outdoor Marksman website.

The one cartridge that stuck in the barrel of my Glock was a bit unnerving, but it fired okay once I got it all the way in the chamber, and the brass extracted fine. No problems with the other 499 rounds. Accuracy is on par with Winchester white box and Remington UMC.

I would buy this ammo again if I hadn't gotten into reloading myself.

Re: Root Of All Evil: NRA vs. PETA

Although there was more applause from the audience when asked whether they thought PETA was the Root Of All Evil, Black declared the NRA the Root Of All Evil anyway.

One more comedian that I've lost all respect for.

Root Of All Evil - PETA vs. NRA

On the next episode of Lewis Black's Root Of All Evil, the debate will be between PETA and the NRA. Two comedians will argue which group is the "Root Of All Evil," to be decided by Black.

The show airs on Comedy Central at 10:30p.m. on Wednesday night and 12:30a.m. Wednesday night/Thursday morning (depending on your point of view), Eastern Standard Time. As ususual, "check your local listings for time and channel."

I've thought of Lewis Black as being pretty nonpartisan, but Comedy Central has gotten pretty douchey, at least since Jon Stewart took over The Daily Show.

EDIT TO ADD: Apparently, the episode got bumped to next week, August 20th.

Sights for Defense Pistols

(This was a response to a question on a message board, I thought it may be useful to those reading the blog also)

I have Heinie straight eight sights with the wide notch on my Glocks. Pretty much the same as the Warren Tactical sights, except they are serrated.

I still have a couple pistols with Trijicon and Mepro Tru-Glo sights. The light bars between the front sight and the edges of the rear sight are way too small. Front sights pretty much fill the whole notch and it's hard to tell if you've really got the pistol pointed straight. After discovering better sights, I started buying pistols with whichever sight set is cheaper, then I change em out with a good aftermarket set.

My rimfire conversion upper has the Glock adjustable sight. It's not so bad on the 22 slide, but I wouldn't have one on defense or competition pistol. A little too fragile.

Small Update

I don't know that anybody really cares, but my Caspian frame finally got ordered (for real) on Tuesday. The dealer that I had gone to e-mailed Caspian, and never got a response, and had not tried to call them until I went in to the shop, and stood there until he picked up the phone and dialed.

I edited the Western Arms airsoft M4 posting (again) to add a link to a review.
