How do you “prevent” a psycho from being a psycho? You often enough can’t. Be an adult and accept that.

Forget 3D printing

Sounds lethal to me

Walking away from unsafe training. And I hope you get a refund.

First, they came for the photographs . . .

Then finger prints . . .

Now, the police can collect your DNA and add it to a database.

I don’t even bother

I’m a pretty good reader of people. I can tell in about 3 minutes if I’m wasting my time arguing or not.

In Colorado

Vote for gun control, get recalled.

Also, every magazine I own is illegal in Colorado. I wonder if there’s a date provision in Colorado law? Like other mag bans had where if the mag was made before some date, it was good. If so, I’ll happily ship all of my mags there provided the recipients buy me new ones.

Taylor Freelance +6 Magazine Floorplate for the M&P9

Why carry 18 when you can carry 24?

So, I saw Tam’s M&P set up and decided I needed to turn my pistol in an almost Personal Defense Weapon. I contacted Brownells and said send me some Taylor Freelance floorplates when you get them in stock. And, like they always do, they sent me some pretty quickly. Side note: dealing with Brownells is great. If it’s not in stock, order it and they will get it to you as soon as it is. Highly recommended.

Anyway, here’s one installed compared to a standard M&P magazine:

As far as installation goes, it’s fairly easy. Though I did launch one spring into the air and scrape my knuckle trying to old the spring down to get the floorplate over it. The instructions that came with it are lacking, to say the least. They should probably put up a video.

Here’s a comparison of the +6 mag, a regular M&P mag and a M&PC mag:

Here’s the M&P loaded up with the mag. Mine also has a Crimson Trace Lasergrip and Lightguard installed to almost make it so tactical it can kill ninjas.

And, though goofy looking and awkward, you can slap the +6 equipped mag into your M&PC:

Once I got them installed, I tried loading them up. I couldn’t get the full +6 in them. I got +2 in 3 and +3 in one. Seems the front and rear alignment of the floorplate and mag tube has some variance. This leaves the shelf of the floorplate out enough to block the follower. However, there is a fix for that which involved adding some bevels. Once I remember where my dremel is, I’ll give that a shot.

You can buy the floorplates here. And the springs here.

And my kids got the game Sorry! so I put that in there.

Adventures in Pressure Washing

Once every three years or so, I spend a couple of weekends pressure washing our fence. Knocks the crud and patina off and makes it look brand new. I was doing that yesterday. There was a rather sizable wasps’ nest between one of the posts and the pickets that I didn’t see. And I nailed it with the pressure washer unleashing a hoard of angry wasps. I know, my fault. I wasn’t sure of my target and what was behind it. The wasps, basically, came at me full force. Or, rather, came toward the pressure washer blast. And I laid down suppressive fire at the angry swarm. It worked. I didn’t get stung. Wet wasps are very sad wasps, by the way.

Also, it was difficult to finish the job because for every few minutes of pressure washing, I had to stop and play with the dog:

Who knew you could pressure wash Boston Terriers?

And sorry about the quality. It was my smart phone camera.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
