You will come around,,, I was blind until I could see.


Never cared for a 1911 until a month ago and now I'm one of those guys that believe nothing is better.

Never even shot a G Lock till last weekend. Now looks like I will be selling about 5 1911s. Time marches on. Now about them CZs, ain't they communist?

This right here would have me seriously questioning his qualifications to teach anything firearms related, I don't care if the NRA rubber stamped him for an instructor. I've seen NRA certified instructors who were very proud of their papers, but were completely ignorant of anything firearms related past the course material.

Agreed. But this was the HOST. The instructor was great. The host was LEO though.

Grammatically speaking, the word fast doesn’t need “ly” attached to the end of it. It works the same as just saying “Things are changing so fast, Ernesto”. Then the rest of that conversation wouldn’t have taken place.

I have great respect for most of our law enforcement. My brother-in-law is a detective and the county that he works in held a benefit shoot and invited the LEOs and their families. He wanted me and my wife to come shoot with him. I hate to say it but most of our law enforcement officers need more training on how to shoot AND how to PROPERLY handle a firearm while at the range. My wife shoots a little with me, not a lot but some and she out shot most of them. I’m just surprised at how little they know how to properly use their firearm that they apparently have been trained to do so with.
 
I'm pretty sure this thread gave me whiplash!

Guys, can’t we to all just get along ... let’s be conscious of their feelings ... may compromise and call it a clipazine. Doing so will allow the idiots at news conferences to not fell so stupid when some people start to snicker at their commonsensical gun control ideas. :rolleyes:

Or “Magip....”. Kinda rolls off the tongue easier than clipazine.

This post is irrelevant. You would have a valid point IF you couldn’t differentiate the difference between the two- I.E the aforementioned “ channel locks vs. pliers “ example; but that’s not the case... obviously if a guy has a semi-automatic firearm and is referencing a clip, common sense would tell you he’s not referring to a stripper clip for rifles...

I’m not even a liberal, and I can tell you’re just bitching about a moot point. Grow up.

He might have a Steyr M1912. :p

The M-1 is the perfect example to demonstrate the difference.

A magazine is where ammunition is stored. A clip is a tool used to load the magazine.

As an aside, I'm taking some people out shooting for the first time this Saturday. I'll be showing them magazines, en bloc clips, and stripper clips. It'll be a fun day!

Language matters since the anti's will twist it and use it to their ends. So we should all strive to be accurate. But maybe we could gently correct our fellow gun owners instead of trashing them personally.

Where is the magazine on an M1 Garand?

I think because it is so common now we kinda get it stuck in our head that when we hear "magazine" we think detachable.

The M-1 magazine is similar to the magazine in the M1903 Springfield, it's internal. So a magazine doesn't have to be a "thing", it can be a "place".

Here's a pic I stumbled across that shows the clip inserted in the magazine of an M-1 with the stock removed.

I just hope nobody starts posting about the 'Shoulder thing that goes up".

I had this conversation last week with a woman from Boston. When she heard her host say he was looking for his toBOGGAN, she informed him that was a SLED where she came from. I told her she was confusing two different things. What she called it was exactly what she said, a sled. BUT what he called it was a hat, in fact pronounced TOEboggan. I love the South.

It might be a sled other places, but it's a hat here.

A tobbagen is a sled, not a hat. Tea is not supoosed to have sugar in it. Cool whip on my pudding.

You’ll get pointed in the wrong direction if you asked to buy a toboggan down here then. Haha. Although I don’t drink tea anymore due to health reasons, the only way I can stand to drink it is with sugar in it. When I did drink tea very few people would drink my tea, 2 cups sugar to 1 gallon tea. As far as the cool whip thing, depends on what kind of pudding.

Oh and by the way it’s called a boggan, not a toboggan :p

1 cup to 2 quarts is actually a pretty normal amount of sugar. I usually go with 3/4 per 2 quarts. You don't overbrew it, you can get away with using less.

Also, toboggan as a hat is just a shortening of the word "toboggan-cap."
