RECCE ROOM

It used to be that my least favorite gun class to teach was pistol.  I am a Rifleman, and definitely enjoy shooting rifles more. In fact, I even had substitute instructors deliver the pistol class due to the fact that the class was one of the more popular, but I just didn't enjoy it as much.  Not anymore. Using new teaching techniques, the addition of new materials, the addition of new tactics and techniques to teach, and a new class structure; I have a new outlook on the class. In fact, it is the best class I now offer.   Make no mistake, my rifle classes are better than ever, but the improvements to the pistol class are greater than the improvements to the rifle classes.  So, if this is something you'd like to do,   Essential Pistol August 2019     Essential Pistol December 2019  

"All handguns should be GLOCKs. All GLOCKs should be 9mm. All 9mm GLOCKs should be GLOCK 19's." - James Yeager,  Tactical Response G19 Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact Sig P320 These are what I recommend a person get as their first handgun.  If you must go subcompact, then: Sig P365 GLOCK 43 Smith & Wesson Shield It's more difficult to fire the subcompact guns as accurately due to a shorter sight radius and the lighter weight, which results in greater felt recoil.   Make no mistake, the smaller pistols are just as accurate. Generally speaking,  the G19, P320, and 2.0C have better stock triggers out of the box, have longer sight radii, and greater magazine capacity. No, they aren't as easy to conceal, but they are concealable. 

100 Americans are killed by guns every single day. Gun violence is a national epidemic and it’s time we take action. Tonight I announced the executive actions I intend to take in my first 100 days as president if Congress refuses to act. - Kamala Harris (via Twitter) Link to Real News  saying same. Link to #FakeNews  saying same.  History teaches us that King George III tried exactly that about 244 years ago.  How did that turn out for him?

A former Congressional candidate, whose platform included gun control, is alleged to have   shot and killed  her campaign treasurer.  We now know why she is in favor of gun control - projection. She cannot be trusted with guns.  You can't make this stuff up.

Today in history.  Also, it's Good Friday.

It is rare to see   this much wisdom  in a single blog post.  I suggest you read it.  Then read it again for understanding. 

The Failing New York Times (I love Trump's nicknames) is forced to begrudgingly admit that you   "probably got a tax cut."  (warning, this is a link to a site known to publish #FakeNews) Of course we did.  Trump always tells us the truth. #FakeNews always lies to us.  On a personal note: The wife and I did not change our withholdings. I made approximately $6,000 more in 2018 than in 2017. For 2017 taxes, I received about $200 in change (it is NOT a refund). Taxes withheld from my pay in 2018 were about $550 more than was withheld in 2017. With identical withholdings, I received about $2200 in change for 2018, despite the increase in income.  For the mathematically impaired,  that was a tax cut of roughly $1450 for my household.  We are firmly middle class - making roughly 150% of the median income of Tennessee, and about 130% of the median income of the US. Also of note - my 401k has nearly quadrupled since Trump was elected.  Trump 202...

A friend recently shared with me  the FBI pistol qualification . Since your humble water enjoys a challenge, I decided to try it out. I did not have the QIT targets, so I used an IDPA target, instead. The evaluation was so fun, I did it three times.  The handgun used was a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 compact. Federal Bulk 9 mm ammunition from Walmart was used. Pictures were taken, but the ol' phone didn't save them. However, the scores were 98, 100, and 100. Give it a try!

From Twitter: Trump Job Approval Jumps to 53% - Seven Points Higher Than Obama - @HeyTammyBruce Lefty shared this, and that's how it came to my attention.  From Lefty: This is remarkable when you consider that Obama was propped by #fakenews while Trump is besieged by it. True statement, and it cannot be overlooked in the least.  Let's analyze the raw data even more, though.  Sampling done by Rasmussen - which is solid D+7 to D+10. For this example, we will give "best-case" for Obama and worst-case for Trump.   Therefore, Obama job approval was 46 - 7 = 39% Trump's real approval is 53 + 7 = 60%  At a minimum, the reality is Trump's job approval is 21 points higher than Obama's at the same time, adjusted for correct polling.  And possibly as much as 27 points higher.  Despite the fact that #FakeNews was all-in for Obunghole and is constantly attacking Trump. Nope... I'm not tired of winning, yet.  

Recently, Facebook suggested a friend for The Rifleman. As it turned out, this person passed away several years ago. Even if she had been alive, The Rifleman would not have sent a friend request. Why? This person was the Rifleman's second manager with Enterprise Rent-A-Car. She was promoted to that position after my previous manager was promoted to a larger location. A couple of weeks after she had been the boss, my paycheck came in, and was unusually low. I checked my hours on the system, and they did not come close to reflecting the actual hours which I had worked. Something along the lines of coming in at 9 am, taking a three-hour lunch, and leaving at 4 pm. I was there from 7 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. everyday, usually without a lunch break. The new boss had been changing my hours when approving. We had to have our hours reported by a certain day every week. So I made sure to check at the end of that day, just before closing, and sure enough, she had changed my hours again. I q...

$2.49 per gallon.  That is the highest price that gas has been while Trump has been in office. It is also the lowest price that gas ever was during the Obama Administration. But the president doesn't set gas prices. What the president can do, is set and enforce regulations that cause gas prices to be higher. He can also set policy regulation and enforcement of barter and trade with other countries call which can yield higher gas prices. Trump is for America, and knows how to negotiate. Obama was most certainly against America, and knows how to vote "present."

From time to time, one will see liberals defend Barack Obama from allegations of being Moslem. Mike Gallagher, the 8th most recognized talk radio personality, in the U.S.A., is heard  by over 2.25 million listeners weekly. He compiled and wrote the following essay entitled, "Obama:   It was You." *  It was you who spoke these words  at an Islamic dinner - "I am one of you." *  It was you who on ABC News referenced - "My Muslim faith." *  It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques. *  It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict- "I will stand with the Muslims." *  It was you who assured the Egyptian Foreign Minister that - "I am a Muslim." *  It was you who bowed in submission before the Saudi King. *  It was you who sat for 20 years in a Liberation Theology Church condemning America and professing Marxism. *  It was you who exempted Muslims from penaltie...

"You can't take on the government tanks and helicopters with just your rifle." - #Libtards and #cuckservatives In a sense, they are right. The rifle is no match, face-to-face, with the heavier guns, armor, missiles, and equipment that these modern machines of warfare carry. But, no Rifleman would claim they are a match.  That does not mean that the Rifleman is out of the fight.  Supply chains. Pilots. Traffic controllers. Fuel tanks. Fuel lines. These are all viable targets that are much more susceptible to rifle fire. 

Vox Day is forced to turn on   comment moderation  due to Gammas being Gammas. My favorite quotes: This shouldn't have much of an effect on anyone but them ... And... If you're a gamma, it may help to understand that this total inability to respect the social order is precisely the reason why people not only hate you, but hate everyone who even reminds them of you. In a better, more just world, gammas would simply be taken out and shot after their high school graduation given their proven inability to function in adult society. I'm reminded of Rules 4 & 5 of the   Standing Orders  - IV: When war is begun, go find something Evil and kill it... V: Traitors first... The gammas would be among the first to subvert plans for survival. They would be henpecking along the whole way if you kept them with you. Without them, there would be nearly zero bickering and argument. Invariably, a gamma would want to argue, bicker, and be antisocial at precisely the moment w...
