    Tactical Covers For Everything – Protecting The Previously Unprotected

    I sit here in my notch cap, Oakley sunglasses, magazines coolin out, and tactical arm tape to help stave off typing fatigue… wondering why I didn’t think of this:

    Manta-Rails-Picatinny-Rail-Protector-Guard-System

    Superfluous DERP, brought to you by Manta Rails.

    Here I am feeling like a Tier infinity derp operator because I didn’t even know picatinny rails, vertical fore grips, and regular grips needed protecting.  Now who’s going to develop a product to protect the rail protectors?  A non-rhetorical question I need an answer to before I’ll be able to sleep again.

    Besides the fact the suppressor sleeve looks ridiculous (ribbed for his/her operational pleasure) it seems to work well and is a great idea in theory.  I’ve seen cooler looking suppressor sleeves out there though.

    Manta-Rails-LogoShout out to the company that invented these protectors, who not only filled a niche market, but also named their company Manta Ray play on words.  Manta Ray plays on words are my absolute favorite.   Bonus points because they have a rail guard with beady eyes on their ray shaped logo.

    Thoughts?  Did you just realize you have several yards of unprotected picatinny rail you need to look into protecting?   What about vert grips and regular grips that you’re now concerned will sustain damage in operations you operate in?

    Making Of A S&W Performance Center 1911

    A detailed look inside the belly of the beast:

    Holy that’s a lot of hands-on work.  I bet at Glock they just show up, hit the big green button then go eat schnitzel and drink awesome beer the rest of the day.

    I’ve handled a few of the performance center handguns… they are really nice.  Worth the price though?  I suppose there are different ways you can justify it.

    American-FlagI like the idea of all the American jobs this creates.

    Thoughts? Does this make you want a 1911 from them more, or are you disappointed that human error can be a factor in the performance of your gun?

    Shooting The Wrong Ammo Out Of The Right Handgun

    Demolition Ranch puts some stank on it for science:

    Potato potAHTO.. 9mm.. .308…. .40.. 9mm.. tomato tomAHto.   LOL that bulged 9mm shell that was in the .40 chamber… epic, it looks like a loudener.  I wonder how straight that bullet was flying considering it wouldn’t have engaged any of the rifling.  Probably would have keyholed like hot garbage.

    Demolition-Ranch-ENDOThe .223 Glock 23 was an awesome idea… too bad the results were less than amazing.  I wonder if you put some sort of sleeved insert in the barrel before loading the .223 round if a person could make it work any better?  I know they make inserts for shotguns to fire rounds like .22 LR and what not… I’m just thinking out loud here.  I don’t know enough about chamber pressures in order to confidently attempt something like this without blowing my guns up.

    Marshall Security Services And Training Academy – LA DERP

    Quick, someone save these vids for posterity:

    Our mission is to become the premier security services firm in the United States by providing dedicated, professional security personnel and quality services to our clients.

    A lofty goal.  Prepare to be dazzled by expert video after effects, stellar operational reloads mainly for dealing with hand injuries, and overdone useless “I didn’t see but I pretended to look” type threat assessments after every task.

    0:31 – Special tenifer coated high speed low drag cookie sheets you wouldn’t know anything about.

    0:42 – Aiming is for losers

    0:53 – Injured your one hand?  Style points for opting to do a heel reload.  Not sure why you couldn’t just hit the slide release in a case like this when the gun is in slide lock… obviously it’s not as cool.

    1:10 – Awwwwwwww shit the one handed reload.  We’ve seen this maneuver before!

    1:17 – Weak hand upside down gun with pinky running the trigger.  If that wasn’t enough, peep the crotch reload.

    1:28 – “Oh hold up… let me fix your upside down derp pinky trigger grip. There we go bRah… that’s much better.”

    1:34 – Wow they are really trying to sell the idea of this one hand upside down pinky defense.

    1:38 – If the standing heel reload earlier in the video wasn’t enough, if you train with them they will also throw in the kneeling heel reload at no extra cost.

    1:48 – “Bitches don’t know ’bout my pivot / cookie sheet engagement”

    1:57 – Knee tuck reload.  Sure, looks legit.

    2:16 – Belt buckle reload.  Yea this is also a thing I’m not mad at, but couldn’t it be done on the side or back of the belt?

    2:27 – BOOM hit you with mad credentials. Recognize.

    A 2nd video on tactical defense shooting, with some additional lulz:

    1:36 – Engage rapidly.  Throwing lead at 1000+ ft/sec in the general direction of something is obviously good enough.  Again, aiming is for low speed high drag losers.  As long as you make some noise and fake threat asses after, your good to go.

    1:48 – Hot potato handgun… you know the drill.

    2:00+ – hahah at the cut in LA bank robbery movie footage.

    DerpIf you think you can handle this type of training, please don’t hesitate to contact Marshall Security Service & Training Academy.

    Kirsten Weiss Has No Love For Grape Drink

    Keeps the grape juice at home, because she’s privileged like that:

    Traded in that fancy Anschütz for a Saiga-12 I see!

    Grape drink is not the same formula (0:41):

    Kirsten-Weiss-ShootingNo vitamins in that shit. Sugar, water, purple.

    I probably mentioned I saw Chappelle a month or so ago on tour… it was priceless, I can’t wait until the DVD comes out.
