Robert Farago - comments No comments

In the video below, Springfield’s pet pro shooter Rob Leatham answers critics who spy the words “GRIP ZONE” on the gunmaker’s Mod.2 gats and think “what the actual F?” It’s not the most convincing rationale I’ve ever heard for a design feature. In fact . . .

What the actual F?

  1. I don’t need their grip zone explained to me…what I do need is for them to explain to me why the hell they’re making guns with a grip safety. The only thing compelling coming from them today is the XD-E

  2. Luckly, I live in Alabama! God Bless Bama. I would love to get one of these historical treasures, but in all likelihood, it would be a wore out unshootable POS that would cost $500+

  3. .I bought .240 from guy thot it was wore out, he never cleaned the barrel.never.didnt like high cost of ammo. $340. One of my favorites the 240, 30-06 is darn good to and good for the ladies, I’ve got .300 and, not to put girls down,but that 300 ‘s a kicker.. . . Lol… And since I’m rambling, I was looking up ballistics on Rugers 327, heck we’ve got same ballistics or close in the 7.62×25 Tok. I just love that ugly S.O.B.(tt33) really ain’t worth a shit but I like it.

  4. They need to sue the city of San Francisco and the SFPD in a civil suit for gross negligence for releasing the dirt bag and not allowing ICE to hold a retainer on him.
    Set the precedent and end sanctuary cities.

  5. Michael Jackson’s doctor WAS convicted of manslaughter and served the maximum penalty of 4 years
    So a manslaughter conviction would not add much to the possible sentence
    I used to enjoy visiting San Francisco
    Now I will never return there
    It is not safe when this illegal alien will be released in a few years to commit more crimes

  6. The heller ruling was a major thorn in the side of the anti’s. National reciprocity is like a baseball bat to their spine. It’s possible to pass this. Our goal is to win the war, and yes, we can win this.

  7. I can’t believe anyone could trust the federal govt to do anything right, especially anything involving guns. I believe ccw-R should stay at the state level. I agree with the notion that one should just move to a free state.

  8. I googled Meghan Markle, having never heard of her before.
    Apparently she’s famous for acting in Fringe and Suits, neither of which I’d ever heard of before.

    I’ve never been so proud to be this ignorant…

  9. Not a dream bill until it gets HPA tacked on. Hell while I’m dreaming I better go for twins! Repeal the NFA all together. Do the twins have an attractive mother? Yeah that’s getting rid of 922o.

    • We’d say go back to the Matrix.

      It wasn’t “an effort to deport illegal guns” but to deport legal / transferable /pre 1986 rolled full-auto weapons.

  10. Before we get all bent out of shape, let’s take a deep breath and allow AI to issue an official statement on this. I strongly suspect that the original reporting is a misquote. Mr. Irwin is on the floor at Shot Show every year and undoubtedly has a good understanding of the politics related to this issue.
