Scoping the STG44-22
Why would somebody want to scope a reproduction of a historic rifle? For one, the original STG-44s were
Why would somebody want to scope a reproduction of a historic rifle? For one, the original STG-44s were
Two years ago, I wrote about the prototype of STG-44 rifle in .22LR. Recently,
For many years, almost every .22 caliber rimfire self-loading pistol was a single-action design. Most did not use a hammer. Instead a firing pin in a bolt was utilized. An exception was the seldom seen, but very desirable, Walther PPK in .22 LR. While a good pistol, the Walther was expensive and sometimes finicky concerning ammunition and reliability. The subject of this report is a modern polymer frame double-action first shot pistol that is also desirable but affordable. The double-action first shot pistol has many good attributes for general use, particularly for outdoors use and personal defense as a house gun.
On 10/22 day, we asked our Facebook followers to share a picture of their Ruger 10/22. The Ruger 10/22 is known for its versatility and with a wealth of aftermarket parts, you can take a simple varminter and turn it into whatever you want. And, as you can see, that is exactly what our Facebook community did!
Recently, my grandson and I enjoyed firing a top grade 1911 handgun. The pistol features a beavertail grip safety, crisp trigger, high-profile sights that are not only excellent examples of the type but adjustable, a light rail, and an ambidextrous safety similar to the Les Baer. The pistol handled well, proved quite reliable and more accurate than we would have guessed.
The long-gone, unlamented Chauchat light machine gun of World War One was faulted for many design and manufacture defects. One complaint that had the greatest influence on the subsequent firearm design was the open-sided magazine — an awkward, flimsy mud-trap. Since then, open-sided magazines have been relegated to a few pistol designs. After WW2, even those largely disappeared.
With ammo costs going up and availability going down, many shooters are turning to the good old .22 Long Rifle cartridge for affordable shooting fun. Rimfire competition shooting leagues are springing up across the country. New shooters are mastering the fundamentals of marksmanship. Experienced shooters are rediscovering that .22 LR competitions are a fun way to hone their skills to a fine edge. So, what should we look for in a competition .22 pistol?
To a person who has no food, even a modest meal is a life-saver. To another, well fed and sated, additional food is of little marginal utility. A pair of pants is a boon to the naked, while a whole closet full of outfits is of minor importance to the clothed. It's the same with defensive weapons: the first weapon is of utmost importance, the rest merely refine the solution. By weapon, I mean both the object and the mindset required for its use. A knife, a stick, or a rock are all weapons in trained and willing hands, while a rifle unsupported by the will to use it is merely a firearm.
Yesterday, I stayed at a friend's cabin in the backwoods of Tennessee. In the evening, her cat discovered a mouse that infiltrated from the outside. Three hours later, the cat was still chasing the mouse all over furniture, running through the upstairs bedroom, then along the hallways. Something had to be done to remove the rodent since the cat was clearly not up to the task.
My last range trip lasted one and a half hours. The new shooter fired about 140 rounds of .22 ammunition and was able to hit quarter-sized targets at 25 yards on demand. I'd like to share the practices which allowed such progress to happen.
I know what most of you are thinking, why in the name of Zeus' derriere would anyone want a tactical lever action rifle? We mentioned this strange little lever action during SHOT Show a few weeks ago, and it received exactly the response we thought it would. I have to admit, when I first looked at this rifle, I squinted in agony. I looked at the Mossberg sticker on my cubicle wall and sighed, and then I walked outside, put my hands up, and yelled, "Why Mossberg? Why!" When I came back to my senses however, I began to see the rifle as something different. My immediate disgust and hatred slowly turned to mild tolerance. I began to look at the rifle like an ugly little stray dog, chambered in .30-30.
I am a professional photographer. My main camera with a general purpose lens weighs in at over five pounds. My backup with the most compact lens, at over three. It's no wonder that these wonderful cameras sometimes get in the way of doing other things, such as shooting guns. I sometimes find myself carrying just a compact camera in my jacket pocket. Much inferior to the pro cameras, it still allows for publishable photos under most circumstances. But sometimes even that lightweight camera isn't with me and I take photos like everybody else, with a cell phone. The results are no more than barely adequate, but how good do they have to be? The same question comes up in the endless discussions about the minimum necessary sidearm. Obviously, a full-size .45 is usually preferable to the pocketable .38, but what of the mouse guns? Are they like the cell phone cameras, deprecated by most people and just as enthusiastically used on a daily basis?
When it comes to cameras, I have to remember that the most lucrative photo I ever licensed was taken with a sub-megapixel camera in 1999 and published in a major ad campaign in 2010. Having any camera in hand trumped all other considerations. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that having any weapon, be it a small gun, a knife or a pointy stick, is instrumental in beating off attacks. A pocket pistol might not help much against a Beslan-level terrorist group but often suffices to discourage a single mugger or a rapist. And small guns are awesome conversation pieces to bring up whenever somebody claims that people carrying big guns are just compensating!
This .22LR thing is really catching on. Quite a few of the guys around the office had conversion kits for their ARs before everyone and their gun manufacturing mom started making dedicated .22LR AR-style tactical rifles. And of course, with everything like this there are two sides of the fence:
Left side: "Just get a .223 and a conversion kit."
Right side: "Conversion kits can be problematic. Get a .223 and a .22LR."
Well. I sit on the right side. Of course. So here are five .22LR AR-style rifles.
CTD Ben built his .223 SBR AR-15 on a CMMG lower. And I know for a fact that CTD Ben doesn't mess around. He's not going to build his precious baby on a piece of junk. CMMG makes quality bits. The CMMG M4 LEP 22 uses a standard AR-15 lower receiver and has a patent pending forward assist adapter that functions like their 5.56 model. This CMMG rifle has all the AR-15 accessories that you want like a flash hider, six-position stock, and an M4 heat shield handguard. It also boasts a MIL-SPEC buffer tube, MIL-SPEC fire control group, and MIL-SPEC takedown pins. With a 16-inch barrel and 25 rounds of .22 Long Rifle, the solidly built CMMG M4 LEP is a super fun and super accurate rifle to shoot.
CMMG M4 LEP (Let Every Piece) be mine.
I remember when SIG released the 566; I was deeply curious. It looks unconventional, but it was a much-anticipated release and those who were looking forward to it and could afford it, bought it. Apparently, the SIG 556 drew a lot of attention at the range. I wasn't the only one curious. I shot the 522 and I liked it. It just didn't feel as good for me as the M&P 15-22 did. But my two shooting buddies I was with that day preferred the SIG to the S&W. So really, it is just a matter of fit and feel rather than function, because the SIG functioned just as well as the S&W. The SIG 522 features 556 parts with the same side-folding stock, polymer forearm, and metal receiver with Picatinny rail, but of course shoots the .22 Long Rifle, not the .223.
I'm not only curious, but convinced.
Oh hey look! It's CTD Mike's AR-15-build's little sister; or brother. I know I sing the praises of the S&W M&P 15-22 a lot, but it's because it's a seriously good rifle. This one is like mine, the MOE version with Magpul MOE stock, grip, and sights. But this one is a little bit more fashionable because it comes finished out in Flat Dark Earth. The S&W M&P 15-22 has the same standard operating parts as the .223/5.56 models, but is chambered for .22 Long Rifle–which means you get S&W reliability, but a lighter and cheaper gun to shoot. Plus, it has a threaded barrel so if you want to, you can add a suppressor. It has a 16-inch carbon steel, match-grade precision barrel with A1-style compensator and holds 25 rounds.
Okay, okay, I'll get one just to make CTD Suzanne shut the hell up about this thing.
I've shot one of these, too, and I was quite pleasantly surprised. Only because Umarex makes air rifles and air soft, so I wasn't sure about their firearms. However, did you know that the Umarex Colt .22 LR rifles are made by Walther? I know. Right?! Makes you take a double take, huh? These guys are accurate enough to knock down some steel plates for fun shooting and don't cause you any more problems than any other tactical .22 I've shot. The Colt M4 .22 has a 16.2-inch barrel with a threaded muzzle, a removable carry handle with an A2 rear sight, and holds 30 rounds—which is five more rounds than the other .22 LR tactical rifles I mentioned above.
Colt, Umarex, Walther, Whatever… It's mine.
When we did our Team AR-15 vs. Team Shotgun debate, many of you asked us where Team AK-47 was. Yes, I know this post is about .22LR AR-style rifles, but I decided that I would throw in this GSG AK-47 .22LR rifle to keep all you Team AK peeps happy. I have not had the opportunity to shoot this one yet, but I have shot the GSG MP5 clone in .22LR and I liked it. By the way, when you buy this GSG AK .22LR from us, give me a call—let's go shooting. So they say that the GSG AK-47 chambered for .22 Long Rifle looks, feels, and functions almost identically to a real AK. It even weighs seven pounds, which is about average for an unloaded 7.62×39 AK. It has a 16.5-inch barrel, a black synthetic stock, and handguard and holds 10 rounds.
Team AK-47. (but in .22LR.)
Not everyone can shoot powerful centerfire guns. For a person with wrist damage, even a mildly recoiling 9mm service pistol would be too much. A person with little upper body strength would be hard-pressed to handle an AK or an M1 carbine, though they feel very light to most shooters. Shoulder damage would make recoil of a .223 feel excessive. Many turn to rimfire guns as the best alternative, counting on landing a greater number of hits to make up for the lower power of the round. Is that prudent?
Let's look at the home defense application first. The reduction of power from the oft-recommended 12ga or 20ga shotgun to a .22 rifle is drastic. A typical .22LR bullet weighs 40 grains, same as a .30 caliber #1 buck pellet. A single round of buckshot contains 16 of them, more than a typical rimfire magazine. Penetration is very similar at 10″ to 14," with 40gr hollow points expanding to about .30 caliber in gelatin when fired from rifles. While rifle bullets retain velocity further downrange, that's irrelevant for the typical in-house defensive use. Due to insufficient penetration, 30-grain varmint rounds are less effective against human size attackers.
By this comparison, we can expect a magazine dump from a sporting semi-auto .22 rifle to have an effect similar to a single shotgun blast. A rimfire rifle has no muzzle flash and much less pronounced report compared to a shotgun. Given the minimal recoil of such rifles, good practical accuracy is actually quite typical in home defense situations. For the same reason, diligent practice is possible even for those who cannot handle the recoil or the weight of the bigger rifles.
The down sides to using rimfire used to be the reduced reliability of the ammunition, the awkward rimmed cartridge shape for autoloaders and the limited magazine capacity. Fortunately, these problems are now largely imaginary. Let's consider them one by one.
"Everyone knows" that rimfire ignition is less reliable than centerfire. That is certainly evident with bulk ammo. Some brands and lots may have a misfire every 20 rounds. This lack of reliability is most certainly not an issue with the higher grade cartridges. A CCI competition shooter has recently reported a million rounds fired without a single misfire. While not up to a million rounds, I've had zero malfunctions over tens of thousands of such defense-oriented types as CCI Mini-Mags and Velocitors, or any of the Eley-primed types.
Rimmed cartidges are indeed rather tricky to fit into magazines. Fortunately, we've had well over a century to perfect the feeding devices. Straight box magazines can hold up to a dozen, tube magazines up to 18, curved box magazines up to 32. They all work fine. Some people prefer the smaller flush-fitting box (or rotary in the case of 10-22) magazines, others like the higher capacity and the additional leverage at reload time afforded by the extended models. Rimfire drums can hold 50 rounds but keep only the few rounds in the feed tower under spring pressure. The remaining 40-odd cartridges are supported by the individual cogs. That solution drastically reduces the friction inside the rotary magazine and also eliminates possible deformation of the unjacketed lead bullets. 275-round pans for the American 180 submachine guns remain a less practical curiosity. The plus side of the rimmed design is the simplified headspacing which permits looser chambers and thus greater tolerance for fouling.
The sporting background of the traditional rimfire rifle makes it a bit challenging to operate under pressure, especially when reloading is required. Fortunately, a large number of rimfire clones of fighting rifles are now available. These mimic Sig 556, AR-15 and SU16 carbines in all but the caliber and the weight. Most use polymer lower and sometimes upper receivers to shave off a pound or two of weight, with almost another pound saved by the lighter ammunition. These guns have familiar oversized controls, accessory rails and tend to be fairly robust. When recoil is a concern but weight isn't, rimfire conversion kits become an option.
Peter Grant, a friend who has trained many handicapped shooters, favors .22LR in very few cases, mainly when centerfire is just not an option. He said that the low cost of the ammunition and the minimal wear on the shooters allowed his trainees to hit a rolling ping-pong ball reliably after expending hundreds and even thousands of rounds in practice. Three of his students used laser sighted rimfire pistols to fight muggers, all with the same outcome: dead thugs had their faces cratered by multiple .22 slugs. With the same rounds being notably more energetic when fired from rifles, there's no doubt that they can be adequate for self-defense. A 12-gauge shotgun or a centerfire rifle may be the choice for most Americans, but the lowly rimfire rifle is far from inadequate. In many cases, it gets pressed into defensive service simply by being closer at hand than a dedicated fighting rifle. In any case, it's worth knowing what it can and cannot do in combat.
On Saturday October 8 at Quail Creek Gun Range in Argyle, TX, the DIVA WOW organization held their second annual AR-15 clinic. For women only, the day focused on shooting the AR-15, but we also had the opportunity to shoot pistol, shotgun, and .22 LR rifles.
The DIVA WOW organization is a women's group devoted to introducing women into outdoor sports, including archery, shooting, hunting, and fishing. Their motto is:
They divided the clinic into three different categories of shooting: fun shoot, 3-Gun, and target. The day ended with a wine-down (in my case, a beer), and a raffle for a DPMS AR rifle with leopard print furniture.
My group started out with a "fun shoot" using .22 LR rimfire rifles, the DPMS, GSG-522, SIG 522, and the M&P 15-22. There were three stages set up, all with reactive steel targets in different configurations. We even had a chance to shoot moving steel targets using the Caldwell Shooting Gallery. (I always wanted to know how that thing worked.) Using the DPMS with an EoTech, I classify this stage as more fun than frustrating.
When I first saw the GSG-522 laying on the table, my heart skipped a beat. We're going to get to shoot the MP5?! Cool! However, no, it was the clone in .22LR made by GSG. This little guy really surprised me. I liked how it shot.
Next up was the bouncing ball targets. The goal was to see which girl could shot it furthest down range. Daryl Parker, Top Shot contestant, founder of the Marksmen Challenge and author, was on hand to help us out. He showed us how to hold the rifle using our thumb and index finger to form a V to rest the rifle's forearm on. When it was my time to shoot, Daryl had to keep reminding me about "trigger reset." Once I finally remembered, we discussed how much of a difference it makes for accurate follow-up shots.
My favorite stage on the fun-shoot was a "race" against the other girls in my group to shoot steel targets, using the SIG 522 or the M&P 15-22. The atmosphere was strong in "fun" and less in "score." I was not a fan of the SIG 522. It was big, bulky, and not any more accurate than any other gun we shot that day. I absolutely fell in love with the M&P 15-22. In fact, I put it in layaway on Monday. It is lightweight, easy to use, and all the controls are close enough for me to use without having to manipulate the gun all around, or take my hands off the grip to reach the safety. I was getting excellent groupings on my headshots during this stage. One of my new friends who had been debating between a .22 conversion or a new upper for her AR-15 also fell in love with the M&P 15-22 and said that getting to shot it had made her decision- she was just going to go with the M&P and scrap the conversion and upper all together!
After lunch, we met up with Iain Harrison, winner of Top Shot Season 1, Deb Cheek, 3-Gunner, and the guys from Lone Star Armory for our "3-Gun" practice. Lone Star Armory custom builds AR-15s and precision bolt-action rifles. During this stage, we shot suppressed AR-15 rifles in .223, a Benelli semi-auto shotgun that holds a whopping 20 rounds (I know. Wow!), and a SIG pistol in 9mm.
I do not particularly like shooting shotgun, they are heavy and kick badly, and so to go ahead and get it over with, I volunteered first. One of the DIVAs helped us with learning the function of the shotgun, and how to hold it properly thus minimizing recoil. I really surprised myself—five steel silhouette targets—all five headshots without a miss! And yes, shooting the Benelli wasn't horrible. It has a smooth action and is very simple to shoot, but it still hurt so I did not volunteer for round two.
Deb Cheek gave us a pep talk about situational awareness and then showed us a demonstration of a speed match with her pistol. During her stage, we shot a .22 LR rifle at steel reactive targets. I was spot on with her rifle and when I finished she yelled out, "That's exactly why I love Texas women!"
Next up was Iain's stage; six steel targets. Sounds easy, right? I disappointed myself this stage. We shot a 9mm Sig with standard sights. I had never shot a SIG before. It was not much different from other polymer-framed pistols of which I am familiar. My first two targets went down without a hitch, but for the life of me, I could not get that third target down. I ran out of ammo and was unable to complete the stage. While trying to hit that third target I blurted out, "why can't I hit that damned thing?" Iain told me it was because I was anticipating the recoil, which there wasn't much, so I don't think that was it. I mean, I can shoot a Glock 19 quite well if I do so say so myself. But, Iain is cute and in a kilt and I was nervous. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hey, Iain, call me. Give me a chance to redeem myself with your pistol.
The guys from Lone Star Armory were full of knowledge and very professional. We compared shooting a regular .223 rifle with a suppressed .223. One pointer I appreciated was "Do not look up from your rifle. You will not see your shot. If you look up from your rifle, you will lose your sight." Andrew Brady, who owns the company, gave me extensive pointers on my stance so my performance wasn't horrible.
Our final stage was a .223 target shoot using DPMS rifles at 100 yards. Thank God, this stage was sitting at a bench rest, my arms and feet were getting pretty tired. The DPMS rifles had Nikon scopes attached and we were able to shoot three different rifles with 30 rounds each. My second try on the rifle range was a full-dipped camo DPMS and after a few pointers from my range officer (R.O.), such as slowing down my trigger and remembering to breathe, my last 10 shots were consistent hits with great groupings.
This was my first time shooting with the DIVAs and I had an eight-hour day full of shooting, bonding, and fun. All the R.O.s on hand were fun and helpful, yet professional. Anticipating more class time than shooting, I was surprised that the day focused on shooting. I shot about 300 rounds! Getting to try so many different guns was the highlight of my day—that and all the fabulous
Ever since the film Terminator brought the pistol lasers out into the public eye, the debate has raged about their utility. With the miniaturization of the actual lasers and development of relatively efficient batteries with long shelf life, laser sighting became available for almost every modern pistol. The opinions on laser sighting range from "unnecessary," "gives away your position," "just learn to use iron sights to "wonderful," "liberating" and "indispensable." Let's look at lasers in detail. (Viridian X5L | CTC for P32)
Red or Green? While the power of consumer lasers is limited by law to 5mW, green lasers are by far better visible than red, especially in daylight. Why doesn't everyone use green? They are bulkier and require larger batteries for the same runtime, though that also allows the integration of a weapon light into the same unit.. A green laser is very practical as a rail-mounted unit for quite a bit harder to fit into a grip panel or make fit seamlessly with a subcompact pistol. Some pistols, such as Keltec PF9 accept both types. Others, like Keltec P32 or Ruger LCP, are much too small for anything but a red laser. While 5mW is the limit for eye safe weapon lasers, some are available in colors ranging from red to blue and in power from 300mW to 2W, hundreds of times stronger than the standard consumer models. They come as parts kits provided with assembly instructions and used manly for emergency signaling. While some people have improvised gun mounts for them, those lasers lack windage or elevation adjustments and may be less recoil-proof. These lasers are not eye safe when tightly focused. Their beams may be defocused to provide coherent light illumination matching shotgun pattern spread.
Doesn't the laser give away my position? In a fog or a smoked-up room, it can. However, there's a reason why almost all advertising photos of lasers have the beam drawn in. For the photo on the left, in order to get any visible trace at all, I had to put a smoke grenade behind the shooter. Normally, the laser is invisible except for a small red or green dot at the emitter. At an indoor range, where the light level is low and the air is full of particles, lasers look like colorful wires stretching to the target, especially after you fire a few shots. At which point the muzzle flash and the report of the gun already made you a good deal more conspicuous than the laser beam ever could.
Can a laser be zeroed the same as iron sights? Yes, but with a difference. If a laser is mounted below the boreline, the near zero can be made the same as with the irons, but the far zero will be different (closer). For this reason, some people zero their lasers further, for example at 50 yards. The pistol will shoot slightly high up close but be closer to the aiming point further out. With a side-mounted laser, the parallax is usually not worth correcting. With the laser parallel to the bore but off to the side, the offset remains small and predictable. With pistol, a difference of an inch is seldom critical.
So what kind of problems do lasers actually solve? Poor eyesight is one. Using iron sights becomes more difficult with age. It becomes impossible if the defender's eyeglasses are knocked off early in a fight. Firing on the move is another: careful lining up of iron sights is very difficult when trying to move away from a moving attacker or his line of fire. In all those cases, keeping the aiming point on the actual target can be very helpful. Aiming from awkward or compromised positions, such as from behind a ballistic shield or from supine.
Precision shooting is another. The effect is most pronounced with pocket pistols, at least my groups shrink to half or third of the original size when fired using a laser rather than iron sights. The same effect is evident with larger handguns as the range increases. I would be hard-pressed to hit a paper plate past 50 yards with any pistols mainly because the sight alignment error magnifies with range. With a properly zeroed laser, sighting errors are taken out of the equation and the accuracy depends more on the trigger control and on the inherent accuracy of the pistol and ammunition. Much the same accuracy improvements can be obtained by using optical sights.
Lasers are also extremely helpful for training. Keeping a laser on during procedural gun handling helps reinforce muzzle awareness. Instructors can watch the laser dots from their trainees' pistols to evaluate sight alignment consistency and trigger control. Finally, Laserlyte makes a laser training "cartridge" that makes dry-fire a great deal more useful by flashing a brief light-burst onto the target. The Walther P22 in the photo is my standard tool for training new shooters: it is sound-suppressed and equipped with a Viridian Green Laser to aid in learning trigger control. The light weight and small grip mean that even small kids can operate it without difficulty.
What are the down sides to laser use? The cost is the most immediate. Recoil proof adjustable lasers run from about $75 to $400. Well worth the money, in my opinion, but upgrading a safe full of pistols can get expensive. Maintenance is another: batteries should be changed regularly when laser is in storage and also after heavy training use. Laser emitter lens has to be kept clean and free of powder residue.
You may also have to get a new holster for your carry gun. Grip and slide mounted lasers can usually use the same holster, but rail mounted designs usually do not. Fortunately, most holster makers offer models designed around specific gun/laser combinations. Popular combinations have many carry options available. Since the rail-mounted lasers fit in the recess between the dust cover and the trigger guard, the concealability of the pistol doesn't change much. (Viridian TacLoc | Sideguard)
In actual use, lasers require training, same as any other sighting system. The small laser dot, especially with red lasers, may require some practice to pick up quickly. In highly reflective environments, such as around car windows or glass doors, reflected and refracted light can be confusing. Most shooters use a combination of iron sights and lasers, knowing from experience which works in what situation. A laser may be just another tool for rapid and accurate sighting — but it is a very versatile and useful tool.
What do you think about lasers on handguns? Have you found them useful in a way I have not mentioned? Has training turned up some unforeseen consideration worth mentioning?
OK, I admit it. I don't do dry fire practice nearly enough. To me, training with my defensive firearms means live fire at the range, which means range fees and ammo costs and cleaning the guns afterwards, and that means I don't train as much as I should. And supplementing my training with dry fire practice is boring and tedious and in my opinion has a serious flaw—without a projectile going downrange and impacting a target, I don't get feedback on whether I'm screwing it up. Momma always told me "practice makes perfect," but the truth is "practice makes permanent." I need a hole in the target to show me that I'm practicing correctly.
Enter the Advantage Arms LE .22lr Conversion Kit for Glock. The mid-sized, 9mm Glock 19 is my daily carry piece and therefore the gun that I need the most training with. Pistol marksmanship and manipulation are perishable skills. I want to train specifically with the trigger, controls, and grip of my Glock 19. If I substitute my Glock practice with a Ruger MkIII target gun, the trigger is different, the sights are different, the grip angle is different, the magazine doesn't drop free… you get the idea. Pretty soon I'm just plinking, not training, right? The Advantage Arms kit is a replacement .22lr slide assembly that drops right onto my Glock 19's frame with no modifications. At a casual glance the slide looks just like the factory 9mm slide, with identical cocking serrations milled into it and factory Glock adjustable sights. It attaches and detaches just like the factory slide, which means I have to dry fire a .22 to take it off. That's normally a big no-no, but the barrel is relieved where the firing pin would normally impact it and get mangled. The included 10-round plastic magazine drops free like the 9mm mags do and locks the slide back after the last shot like the 9mm mags do. Shooting the .22 kit uses the exact same manual of arms and sight picture as a factory Glock 19, but firing ammo that costs one-fourth as much as the cheapest 9mm I can find. Put another way, I can shoot four times as often per dollar spent on ammo. Or, if I paid $250 for the conversion kit, it will pay for itself in shot-for-shot ammo savings after about 7000 rounds of ammo fired (around thirteen of those 525 round value packs I like to buy).
Shooting the .22 kit is a real hoot. I was able to get a 2.5 inch group at 10 yards away with supported, slow fire, but the five-pound trigger in my Glock isn't a target trigger, the sights aren't target sights, and I was shooting cheap value pack ammo, not match grade stuff. Honestly, that's about as straight as I can shoot the gun in 9mm configuration anyway. I told you I need more practice! The kit only comes with one magazine, I'll acquire more since they are only about $15. A plastic, Glock-style magazine loader is included with the kit, and I'm glad. Even though the mag only holds ten rounds it has a lot of spring pressure and the last couple of rounds are tiresome to mash into place with my thumbs. A basic cleaning kit and some oil are also included. I had some failures to extract spent casings during my first range trip, but they didn't really bother me. Most .22lr conversion kits are known to go through a problematic break-in period before they "settle down" and become more reliable. Additionally, the cheap ammo I was using is not on the list of recommended ammo types which is printed off and included in the box with the kit. Next time I'll buy some better ammo.
I'm planning on using the conversion to practice realistic drills such as drawing from my concealed carry holster and firing a controlled pair into a target seven yards away. Why not just dry fire the drill? When I draw from concealment I'm using gross motor skills (big muscles moving as fast as they can) to get the gun out of the holster and pointed in the right direction, followed up by fine motor skills (little muscles that have to move with precision) to acquire my sight picture, squeeze the trigger, recover from the recoil, find the trigger's reset point, and squeeze again. The natural mistake to make in this drill is to mash the trigger hard and skimp on the front sight alignment because I'm in a hurry and didn't successfully switch from big fast movements to precise movements. If I'm dry firing, I won't even realize I'm doing it, but if I'm training with the .22 kit, I'll know immediately that I screwed up as soon as I see the holes in the target. And with dry fire I have to cycle the slide myself if I want to feel the trigger's reset, which means taking my support hand off the grip and… well, its just not the same. The only place where the conversion kit allows me to really "cheat" in shooting drills is with rate of fire, because the felt recoil impulse is much smaller with .22lr (in fact there is pretty much no recoil). So I can really blaze away with the conversion kit, putting aimed rounds down range much faster than I realistically could with the same gun in 9mm. Sure its fun, but again that's plinking, not training. I'll have to keep that in mind.
I'm excited about picking up the Advantage Arms Conversion Kit and my plans to increase my live-fire training time with it. Of course I will still be putting a lot of 9mm holes in targets as well, but I believe that my shooting fundamentals with the Glock 19 will improve by the extra practice I can afford now. Hopefully my practice will make perfect, instead of just permanent.

From the USDA:
A lack of moisture, over an extended period of time, has caused producers in Nevada to suffer from the effects of severe drought conditions. Farms and ranches experiencing severe drought conditions may be eligible for cost-share assistance under ECP. This disaster program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency (FSA), which provides cost-share assistance if the damage is so severe that water available for livestock or orchards and vineyards has been reduced below normal to the extent that neither can survive without additional water.
A producer qualifying for ECP assistance may receive cost shares not to exceed 50 percent of the cost of installing eligible temporary measures. Cost sharing for permanent measures is based on 75 percent of the total eligible cost. Cost-share assistance is limited to $200,000 per person or legal entity per natural disaster. Approved practices and measures may include:
* installing pipelines or other facilities for livestock water * constructing and deepening wells for livestock water
Producers who have experienced severe drought conditions requiring outside assistance to provide supplemental emergency livestock water may contact the local FSA County Office. Requests for assistance will be accepted at the Yerington County Office from March 26, 2014 through May 24, 2014.
To be eligible for cost shares, practices shall not be started until a request has first been filed at the FSA County Office and an onsite inspection of the problem area has been made by County Committee (COC) or its representative. COC will review the inspection findings when considering the request for cost shares.

Since season one of Design Star, contestants have been given the ultimate blank canvas. Peek through the best white rooms from past seasons as we prepare for the biggest competition yet: The White Room Challenge.

Season four's designers were challenged to transform their white boxes with a budget of $1,000, two gallons of paint and ingredients from a grocery store. Dan Vickery completely altered his space by taking on a red apple theme. He created a striking red apple wallscape framed by a whimsical chopped wood pattern. On the floor, he formed an "area rug" made of kidney beans and black-eyed peas, which ties into the organic color scheme of the room.

The best tweet on the US elections goes to Bill Maher, hands down. His "Tea Party has now cost the Republicans 5 senate seats.

It also sounds vaguely familiar.12 Nov 2012 - 3:30am 1 comment
Coughing repeatedly; unfurling a banner of Dr Sun Yat-sen; and shouting a question about whether newly elected Legislative Council president Jasper Tsang Yok-sing was a communist.

Denial in Bahrain? The Links Between Sickle Cell Disease, Detention and Tear Gas.
Since the outbreak of pro-reform protests in Bahrain in early 2011 security forces have deployed an unprecedented amount of tear gas resulting in the deaths of numerous individuals. This torrent has also revealed a genetic component to Bahrain's political unrest through a record spike in sickle cell deaths - a condition that predominantly affects the marginalised Shia population.

Despite all the controversy, history will probably remember Brazil as deserved winners in this game because of Oscar's stoppage time finish. Their second goal against Croatia was a gift, but this one was earned.

Since 2007, the folks at Group Publishing have been inviting their Northern Colorado neighbors in to chat over coffee.
A couple of years ago, the Love land-based Christian publishing company extended the invitation nationwide, licensing its Lifetree Café concept to organizations across the country.
Now a Loveland couple has caught the vision of offering one of the "conversation cafes" at a new site in town.
Dennis and Barbara Miller have become the latest of 84 Lifetree Café licensees and this week will begin hosting the conversation events at 7 p.m. each Wednesday at a local hotel.
Conversation, Relationships
Dennis Miller said more and more Americans are identifying themselves as "spiritual, but not religious."
"They don't come to church, but they do love to hang out at coffeehouses, and they love to have conversations and relationships," he said.
Many churches are missing that demographic, he said, and that's where Lifetree Café comes in. Lifetree events give people a nonthreatening place to talk about life and how faith intersects it, Miller said.
Each hourlong "experience," as Lifetree national director Craig Cable calls it, focuses on a topic that's sure to be a talker. Just this month, Group's events feature a filmed interview with the mother of the Amish schoolhouse shooter, a woman's struggle with anorexia, "The Black and White Truth About Racism," and a discussion about surviving betrayal.
After participants have picked up refreshments and seated themselves about four to a table, the Lifetree host first shows a slide that assures participants, "You're welcome just as you are. Your thoughts are welcome. Your doubts are welcome. We're all in this together. God is here, ready to connect with you in a fresh way."
Guided Discussions
The host then shows a multimedia presentation on the week's topic, stopping it at times to engage participants in discussions about aspects of the subject.
On Tuesday afternoon, about 45 people filled the tables in Group's comfy fireside Lifetree Café room to talk about "What People Really Think of Christians ... and Why."
Longtime Lovelanders LaVerne Bernhardt and Mary Krening, who said they have known each other about 50 years, shared a table with two others. When host Amy Nappa asked for ideas and conversation at the tables, the two joined in.
They said they regularly attend the Lifetree events. "We come because we get a lot out of it," Bernhardt said.
"It's nice to hear other people's opinions about topics," Krening said, adding, "They don't always agree with ours, but that's OK."
Group's Cable said the company's three Lifetree events each week draw an average of 80 to 90 participants total. Group recently added two more time slots on Thursdays, for women only.
Some topics draw a crowd. He said 225 people crowded into the three sessions about Mormonism a couple of months ago. About half were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he said.
And true to the nonjudgmental approach of Lifetree, "It was one of the most civil and open discus´ sions of why the LDS Church be´ lieves as it does," he said, and why non-Mormons believe what they do.
What: New Lifetree Café conversation events sponsored by Dennis and Barbara Miller, retired longtime Thompson School District administrators.
When: 7 p.m. Wednesdays, starting April 18.
Where: Comfort Inn hotel, 1500 Cheyenne Ave. off East Eisenhower Blvd., Loveland.
Cost: Free to participants. Group charges licensees a $500 annual fee and $200 per month for materials.
What else: Group Publishing's Lifetree Cafés take place at 7 p.m. Sundays, noon and 7 p.m. Tuesdays and noon and 7 p.m. Thursdays (women only) at Group, 1515 Cascade Ave., Loveland.
Refining the Experience
The Lifetree events at Group serve as a test kitchen for the program. Group staffers assess the topic and participants' reactions to it and usually do some rewriting between sessions, Cable said. "Sometimes 50 percent of the experience will change between Sunday and Tuesday night," he said.
"We want a lot of self-discovery out of the experience, so we're continually evolving the experience," he added.
Then three months to a year later, the video, host's script and oth´ er materials are sent out to the licensees across the country. So when the Millers present a topic at their Wednesday night event, it will be something that Loveland residents helped shaped months earlier.
And not every topic makes it. Participants fill out comment cards after the Group events, and something that gets only an 8 out of 10 often doesn't make it, said Group founder Thom Schultz. "We shoot for a very strong response," he said.
About half of the licensed Lifetree Cafés take place in neutral set´ tings such as the Millers'. "The folks we're trying to reach might have a hard time going into a church for any reason," Miller said.
"You don't want people to think, 'Well, this is just another church thing,' because it really isn't," he said. "When people think about evangelism or they think about Christians who are out trying to spread the Gospel, there are stereotypes."
Lifetree's conversational approach "is much more how Jesus went about his ministry," he said. "He was about forming those relationships with people so that trust was established with them. Then he was able to share the Good News with them.
"We're about forming relationships."

Glucosamine for Dogs - By Super Dog Nutrition Announces a Profit-Sharing Program for Animals in Need Super Dog Nutrition Bigheartedly Donates 10 Percent of All Profits to Help Animals in Need
LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Super Dog Nutrition is a company that provides the highest quality dog joint supplement - Super Healthy Joints. Super Healthy Joints, a dog joint supplement is veterinarian-recommended and is as tasty as dog treats, according to Super Dog Nutrition's four-legged customers. The company is proud to announce a brand new profit-sharing program that will help animals in need. Ten percent of the company's profits will be donated to a variety of worthy animal causes throughout the United States, including no-kill animal shelters.

The fact that the founders of Super Dog Nutrition are committed to sharing their profits to help animals does not come as a surprise to the many customers who have purchased their dog vitamins. Since the very first day the company opened for business, they have strived to help improve the health and quality of life of thousands of four-legged friends across the nation.
Most notably, one of Super Dog Nutrition's most popular dog joint supplements is designed to naturally treat arthritis in dogs. Super Healthy Joints contains glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, MSM and vitamin C. Designed to taste just like a tasty doggie treat, dogs will readily gobble up the dog arthritis supplement. The number one veterinarian recommended product also comes with a 100 percent guarantee, which means that pet owners can rest assured that they will get their money back in the rare instance where the supplement does not make a difference in their beloved pooch's health.
The supplement's potent formula is designed to protect healthy joints while also helping to rebuild cartilage in damaged and sore joints that are affected by arthritis. "This powerful nutritional supplement is excellent to treat arthritis in dogs, who are experiencing discomfort in their joints, suffering from degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), recovering from any type of joint or hip surgery or injury, and of course it adds a layer of protection to dogs that live an active lifestyle and want to prevent joint problems," said a company spokesperson, adding that the supplement helps dogs to once again run and walk with ease.
Anyone who would like to learn more about the advantages of using glucosamine for dogs, Super Healthy Joints as well as taking advantage of a 10 percent OFF coupon code (VIPPET10) is encouraged to visit the Amazon product page, which contains detailed product information as well as outstanding customer reviews.

4. The Cody Rivers Show Presents Right Back Where We Finished. Never mind the unwieldy title. This comedy duo was the funniest thing at last year's festival, leaving me gasping with laughter while recalling their performance days after seeing their show.
5. The Screw You Revue: Up Your Wazoo. Wayburn Sassy returns with his crass, nonpolitically correct comic swipes and jibes. The show info says it's his last appearance in O-town. Say it ain't so, Sassy.
Just for newbies
First-time Fringer? Don't panic.
With the buzz of excitement, the scene at Loch Haven Park can seem like chaos but it's actually quite simple to make the most of the festival. Here's a step-by-step guide for newbies.
1. Get to Loch Haven Park, at Princeton Street and Mills Avenue, Orlando. Park in the lot, on the street on Mills, or in the parking garage. The festival runs evenings during the week and all day on weekends.
2. Buy a Fringe button. Before you see any show you must have an $8 button. You must pay for the button with cash; this is the money that supports the festival's overhead. Buy them in the Shakespeare Center or the Orlando Repertory Theatre, the buildings at each end of Loch Haven Park.
3. Pick a show to see. There's something for everyone: Comedy, drama, musicals, improv, monologues, dance, puppets. Shows last no longer than 90 minutes and typically cost from $5 to $10. The performers set their own ticket prices and all of the money spent on tickets goes to the performers. There are printed festival guides with descriptions and show times for all productions at the theaters. Tickets can be purchased there also, and you can use credit cards for ticket sales.
4. Show up at the correct venue. There are several venues within each main building. They are clearly labeled by color — orange, yellow, silver, green, etc. Your ticket will tell you which venue your show is in, and what time it starts. Do not be late. There is NO late admission, and your money will not be refunded.
5. Sit back and enjoy.
If you want to plan ahead, you can find descriptions of all the Fringe shows and buy tickets at the official Fringe site, OrlandoFringe.org.
Have a fantastic Fringe.

Velvet by Graham and Spencer Delane Color-Block Ponte Dress
Strategically placed color-blocking can do wonders for your figure! This sleeveless, ponte dress is ultra-slimming in all black with white side panels. Play up the contrasting colors with a white blazer for the office.
ASOS Petite Exclusive Swing Dress in Color-Block

G by Guess Elieza Color-Blocked Dress
Sporty and sexy unite in this color-blocked bandage dress from Guess. The knit dress in teal and lime green uses color-blocking to create an hourglass silhouette in the front and crisscross straps in the back. A statement necklace would settle perfectly in the square-cut neckline.
Parker Snake-Print Color-Block Dress
Color-blocking can pack an even greater punched when mixed with patterns, just make sure the print is subtle. An gradiated snakeskin pattern plays up this blue-and-mint, color-blocked shift dress. The silk dress features a V-cut neckline in front and on the solid blue back.
ASOS Pencil Dress in Color-Block with Drape Jersey Top
Soft stretch jersey brings extra comfort to a sleek, office-appropriate, color-blocked dress. The gray of the top covers the back of the navy blue pencil skirt and is accented with a panel of the navy on the back.

Take your color-blocked dress to a summer brunch with this colorful pick. Dress up the top with a chunky necklace and wear demure closed-toe pumps.
Jarlo Striped Maxi Dress in Color-Block
This color-blocked maxi dress is the perfect pick for this summer's music festivals. Delicate chiffon flows smoothly in soft peach, green, and coral. The high-cut neckline is the perfect backdrop for a long, tassel necklace.
Lipsy Bandage Body Conscious Dress in Color-Block
Rock a color-blocked dress on a night out with the girls. This black, white, and gray, body-conscious, bandage dress hugs curves tightly in stretch fabric. The all-black back keeps your bottom half looking slim. Pair with cage heels to make a fierce statement.
Kenneth Cole Eleanora Color-Blocked Animal-Print Dress
Pieces that transition from day to night save time, money, and energy. This color-blocked Kenneth Cole dress does just that by adding patches of animal print to a classic silhouette. The black-and-white sheath dress features cheetah- and leopard-print stripes on top and bottom for a look that will make 'em roar.
BCBG Max Azria Sea Green Ribbed Jersey Color-Block Dress
This BCBG color-blocked dress is slimming in a mostly black pattern, but catches the eye with bright details at the top and bottom in sea green and saffron. An exposed zipper in back adds some sex appeal. Complement the color-blocking with a pair of this season's metallic-tipped pumps.

UConn skydiving takes trip over break
While many UConn students were enjoying time with family, opening gifts and celebrating the holiday season this winter break, the UConn Skydiving Team was busy jumping 13,000 feet out of airplanes over the Arizona desert, during the United States Parachute Association Collegiate Nationals.
"It's weird because a lot of people don't even realize competitive skydiving even exists," team representative and UConn grad student Will Harris said. "Even when I started jumping, I knew almost nothing about it, but there's a whole hidden sport that's sort of below the surface."
While the team may not be well known in and around Storrs, in the world of competitive collegiate skydiving, the Huskies are regarded as one of the top teams in the country, as well as a mainstay at the USPA Collegiate National competition.
The team's season, which begins in April and typically ends in October, includes weekend training jumps at Connecticut Parachutists in Ellington, summer training and multiple competitions during the early months of the fall semester.
"What we primarily do [during competitions] is formations, which means that we jump in two-person, four-person or six-person teams," Harris said. "The idea is that beforehand, the judges will say 'you have to make these formations as many times as you can.' Someone jumps with us with a camera and they film the whole jump. We go through the sequence of formations, with each formation worth one point. After the jump, the judges add up the points and the team with the most wins."
The sport of skydiving is one of passion and fearlessness. In Harris' case, immediately after his first jump, he was hooked; another victim of the adrenaline bug.
"I did a semester abroad during my junior year to New Zealand, and naturally with the beautiful scenery, I wanted to skydive there, and I did. It was a great time," he said. "After that I told myself I wanted to do it again, and just before I graduated undergrad I decided to check out the [UConn skydiving] club. I knew some people that were doing it, and I somehow just talked myself into it. It sort of took off from there."
A group of 11 students led by Harris embarked for the Collegiate National competition on Christmas afternoon, "much to the dismay of our family members," Harris said. Team members who participated included freshman Sarah Chamberlain, junior Kevin Duignan, senior Joshua Ellenberg, junior Brandon Gilbert, grad student Doug Hendrix, sophomore Justin Jetmar, senior Jim Marcum, sophomore Daniel Pace, sophomore Andrew Stipicevic and junior Jon Szylobryt.
The competition took place at Skydive Arizona, the largest and busiest skydiving dropzone in the United States.
"The place is unreal," said Harris of the facility. "They have their own fleet of planes, facilities, a hotel, restaurants and so on. Its like Disneyland for skydivers."
The Huskies - who had a three-day window of practice jumps and preparation upon their arrival in Arizona - competed in the meet on Dec. 29 against over a dozen other collegiate skydiving teams. The competition included Air Force, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Kansas State and Navy, among others.
The Huskies' four-way jump team, took silver with a point total of 76. One of UConn's two-way jump teams, comprised of Doug Hendrix and Andrew Stipicevic, also netted a silver medal. Justin Jetmar won gold for his efforts in the novice level accuracy jump, while Doug Hendrix took silver in the same event.
While the skydiving team's season is now over, Harris is confident that the rapidly-growing program has a very bright future. The team has plans to assemble a roster to send to the 2013 USPA Nationals, the largest and most competitive skydiving competition in the United States, next September. Attending the event, which is open not just to collegiate skydivers but to seasoned professionals as well, would be a major benchmark in the growth of the club.
"Our team has grown tremendously in the past few years. We went from just a few people a couple of years ago, to fifteen people this year," Harris said. "The team has a sort of contagious enthusiasm. Its just sort of the way the sport is. I'm expecting big things from them over the next couple of years. We're just going to keep getting bigger and stronger."

Hans Sternbach Vineyards Review
It's worth the drive here to sample the rustic and delicious creations by vintner Gadi Sternbach, who makes nearly everything on the menu, from the outstanding cured beef to the smoked salmon to the freshly baked bread. The succulent beef stew and unforgettable glazed onions are cooked in a sauce that uses the winery's own red wines. Seating is in the dining room or on a terrace shaded by leafy trees and flowers. Sternbach is a former tour guide and can explain the biblical history of the surrounding hills. Vineyard tours are available.

Factors explaining urban transport systems in large European cities: A cross-sectional approach
AbstractThe importance of effective and efficient mobility in large cities is becoming essential for planners and citizens due to its impact in terms of social, economic and geographic development. The aim of this research is to determine factors explaining urban transport systems by estimating aggregate supply and demand equations for 45 large European cities. Supply and Demand equations are separately and jointly determined using OLS and SUR estimation models. On one hand, our findings suggest the importance of economic variables on the supply of public transport. On the other, we highlight the role of those factors influencing the generalized cost of transport as main drivers of demand for public transit. Additionally, regional variables are introduced to capture institutional heterogeneity in this service, and we find that regional patterns are powerful explanatory determinants of urban transportation systems in Europe.

Peyton Manning Playing With His Kids Is Another Reason to Love Him [VIDEO]
Here's an important memo for Peyton Manning -- we get it, already. You're a fantastic football player and an even better family man.
Here's an important memo for Peyton Manning -- we get it, already. You're a fantastic football player and an even better family man.
Recently, I had the good fortune of vacationing in Jacksonville, FL, and visiting EverBank Field - home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's no secret that the Jags have struggled the past few years and selling seats depends a great deal on how the team is performing.
But, with a new owner, comes new possibilities, new ideas and new construction and I got a first-hand look at what will become a Florida oasis in stadium-form.
After disposing of running backs, Alfred Morris and LeSean McCoy, the Indianapolis Colts signal caller finds himself in the final four of voting to determine who will grace the cover of the popular video game franchise.
UPDATE - May 16th, at 4:40pm
NFLPlayers.com has released a statement from Mathis claiming the positive test was the result of fertility drugs he was taking while he and his wife were trying to conceive a child.
After defeating Washington Redskins running back Alfred Morris in round one of the Madden NFL 15 Cover Vote, Colts quarterback, Andrew Luck, moves on to round two to take on Philadelphia Eagles running back, LeSean McCoy.
When Michael Sam became the first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team, he broke down a barrier -- but a lot of people still have issues with it.
Your vote will help determine who graces the cover of the next installment of the hugely popular video game series.
Controversial rapper M.I.A. has revealed that the NFL is trying to shake her down for $16.6 million as a result of her one-finger salute, in which she flashed her middle finger at the camera (and for all the world to see) while performing as part of Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime Performance in 2012.
Bobby G. and I test our skills with a few of the drills used at the annual NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Did we miss our calling?
Michael Sam, the All-American defensive end from the University of Missouri, made waves recently by announcing he's gay, sparking a conversation about whether the NFL is ready to accept homosexual players in the locker room.
About this time last year, the hysterical trend of the "Bad Lip Reading" began. Some guys from a YouTube page called "BadLipReading" put words in the mouths of football players. Their video went hugely viral and then it seemed like every other week there would be a new edition of a pop-culture Bad Lip Reading
In an effort to move things along quickly as fans flock to their favorite team's stadium for preseason, eventually regular season, and hopefully playoff action, the NFL has implemented a new "bag policy" outlining the types of carrying cases fans can and more importantly, can't bring into the game.
