Gloves for firing risky loads or firearms.

[Yarome]

Hmmm... I must have been asleep in phyics class the day they covered the law that limits any explosive damage of a firearm to "hands and-or face only". I'm quite sure the guy in the video above would have a quantifiable argument to the contrary.

If there is enough doubt to warrant thinking about dropping good money on kevlar just to pull a trigger... and you don't want to go to the bother of having it inspected by a reputable gunsmith.... remote fire! That's what God invented bench vises and shoelaces for in the first place!

This is why I don't trust reloads by other people, even commercial reloads

IIRC, one of my first posts to this forum was regarding this very problem; some MiWall reloads I had bought at a gun show had one round blow out the web in a Glock 19. The very same thing just happened to me with the same box of ammo - this time with my SIG Mk25. It slight singed my hand and...

Semi auto firing out of battery

A buddy went shooting with a firearm i had sold him and on his 3rd 9mm round the sides blew out of the frame and after examining his ammo i found they were factory reloads from a company I wasn't familiar with but on some of them the casing was bulging towards the bottom of the casing enough to...

This is why you always test a new carry piece before you bet your life on it

Kept hearing great things about the new Taurus GX4. It was cheap enough so I bought one as a back up to my P365. Took it out for its first run today.... first mag, 8 rounds in, the extractor blew off! Checked the brass, it was fine, no blow out. Just awesome Taurus quality. Take way... you buy...

Had a real BLAST at the range today...

Helping my buddy christen his newly assembled AR-10 (.308) and we had some real fireworks to commemorate the occasion. Still no idea how this happened, but he's now down one magazine (blew apart) and I'm compulsively counting my fingers to make sure they're all there. Here's my keepsake from...

Blew up in my hand

Pulled the trigger on my EDC pistol (XDS 9mm) today and it went KA-BLAM in my hand. My face got peppered and my right hand felt like it did when I forgot to drop a firecracker when I was a kid. Other than a bruised trigger finger I walked away. I had to push the stuck casing out from the...

Whiles testing headspace.

I used to work with a guy….. he would hold up meetings well past their intended end time just asking questions. Random questions that were all over the place regardless of the meeting agenda. You could see him sit there and look up and just kind of stare off into space to think of another question. My dad used to refer to people like him as someone that talks just to hear their head rattle.

My wife works in gov and you would be truly angered, if you saw all the random non-work related discussions that occur during taxpayer funded "meetings".

The great thing about NWFA "meetings" is you are free to come and go as you please. No need to wait for meeting to end.

I would have to waste 30-60 minutes every day in "standups". These were status meetings every morning where each person was supposed to say what they did yesterday, what they were going to do today, and was there anything blocking them that they needed to share. They were supposed to take no more than 60 seconds to do so. If there needed to be a discussion about any of these, then the discussion would be done afterwards as an "aside" between interested necessary parties only so the rest of us could go on about our day.

Invariably half the people would take 5-10 minutes to discuss each item in detail and then launch into debates/discussions.

We were supposed to standup during these so that they would not last long.

I am so glad I am retired now.

So many meetings/etc. could be done in an email or in some kind of software so that people don't need to attend so many meetings. The last 6 months or so of my job at Daimler, I had to attend two status meetings every morning because I worked with two dev teams in two offices. I usually did this via phone, which usually allowed me to work on my tasks while listening to people prattle on about their days/tasks/etc.

I've seen most of those threads. Would you suggest that people gear up head to toe everytime they shoot? Or only if they think it might be an unsafe gun/load?

Haven't decided. Asking around to see what other members are doing.

You're only asking about gloves here. What other gear would you suggest?

Eyes and ears would be good.

Ah, agile methodology as practiced by inept middle management.

 

[arakboss]

I am interested to know if those recommending a string and a vice, have attempted that method at TCGC? I am guessing it wouldn't go over well with the range officers.

Your best bet is to do it out in the woods where you can't injure or kill the person at the bench next to you. I RSO at my range and it wouldn't be allowed for that exact reason.

And if you die or get seriously injured you can yell and no one will come to your aid. Allowing one to die alone in silence pondering all the wonderful ideas you had. Sounds good to me.
