      One in the chamber

      Israelis were issued Browning Hi power with a hair trigger back in the days, to avoid unintentional discharge they trained with an empty chamber, and old habit die hard even when they retired the oldie/goodie 9mm. They were good even without one in the chamber! This is more of an...

      Harsh times, harsh food

      During the lock down last year, I collected a bunch of dandelion roots to make dandelion coffee. My neighbors thought I totally lost it in isolation. After a week sun dry, roast in oven and grind, they looks like coffee, but instead of cup of Joe, mine tasted like a cup of mud. I screwed it up...

      Spare Firearms Parts for Preppers

      Here is a list for extra Glock parts that I kept on hand. Sorry couldn’t be more helpful on other brands. Glock is very reliable but it can still break, mostly due to human error and you will see them here: Magazine/springs/follower: get a bunch new mags if you don't want to deal with...

      Ar15 charging handle

      https://www.strikeindustries.com/si-ar-tbch-223.html This one is interesting, planning on getting one for one of my built. Its ambi and affordable. If you planning on getting a can, the ability to adjust gas direction can help to reduce the amount of lube getting on your face!

      1 lb propane bottle shortage

      Folks If you are using a Mr. Heater type of indoor safe propane heater, be sure to get a oil filter attach to your converter. Learnt it the hard way myself. The oil preserve (?) that they use in the 15/20lb tanks tend to clog up Mr. Heater. Here is the link...

      Gun cleaning sucks!

      I was a compulsive cleaner. Field strip after every match, and once a month full disassembly. This stopped after I found out I cracked my firing pin sleeve in my G17. It was obvious the repeat pressing down the sleeve to set off the firing pin spring cracked the plastic sleeve. It’s a 2...

      What's the worst thing you found in your food?

      Very nice Japanese Chinese restaurant, clean and everything were tasty. There was a veg dish cooked with a fermented bean paste. One of the bean was bigger than normal, and of course, it’s a cockroach. The best part was, it was only half.

      Trauma kit

      Hope this helps, this trauma pkg is really basic, small but has enough to slow down bleeding until paramedic arrives. I will supplement it with a CAT-type tourniquet and 2 of the Israeli Bandage. They are cheap and has pressure dressing build in. I also keep a few maxi pads with them, just in...

      Glock slide wear with Fiocchi 115 CMJ

      Fiocchi is a good brand that I trust, but didn't feel right about this batch. The wear seems a bit excessive for 150 rounds. However, the wore area is still smooth to touch. Round count on this gen4 is high, so I assume all the wore area shown already. It is the new one concerns me. I kept...

      Glock slide wear with Fiocchi 115 CMJ

      Maybe its nothing just me being paranoid. Below is a few pictures I took on a slide after running just 150 rounds of Fiocchi 115 CMJ (from the box “Complete Metal Jacket”) Compare to the Walmart Federal 9mm aluminum that I used to run, this load seem to kick a bit harder than usual. After field...
