My Shitty Introduction.

My name is Alex, but all my idiot friends call me PoleLock. I'm a 90's kid that grew up in the burbs of Chicago and I love guns. This is my outlet to share my knowledge and experience with everything relating to firearms. From shooting, to builds, testing and reviewing new products and maybe even some dirty dirty insite on fucking airsoft.

This series of blogs contains lots of swearing, grammar and spelling errors, massive amounts of shit talking & my snarky sarcasm. Oddly enough I'm also going to use this as a way to teach people more about firearms and gun culture in general, we'll see how that works.

This is my first time ever doing something like this, fuck I dont know if this will even show up or where the hell to find it. But join me on this ride until it gets taken off the internet, until I lose focus and stop doing it or by some huge longshot it gets popular.....definitely not the last one, its going to be the same 6 people reading this shit.

This will mainly focus around guns, maybe I'll eventually talk about other interests like music or hiking or food stuff, I don't know. So enjoy and if there is something you want me to talk about ask, maybe I'll do it.

AR-15 Stuuuuuff.

This is not going to be an article. I honestly just made this so i can go back to it as a reference and show it to others. There are hundreds of articles that explain all this shit. AR gas systems. Pistol Length Barrels less than 9” Gas tube length 4.5” Carbine length Barrels 10-18” Gas tube length 7.5” Mid-Length Barrels 14-20” Gas tube length 9.5” Rifle length Barrels 20”+ Gas tube length 13” Carbine Length vs Mid Length Gas system. What is the point? AR's with barrels between 14-18 inches can use either, which is better? The short answer is Mid Length The longer gas system is going to provide less pressure going back to the bolt, less pressure is better for longevity and will reduce felt recoil. Mid length gas systems will have a slower rate of fire. measured on a 14.5 barrel using NATO M855 Carbine = 864 rpm Mid = 737 rpm. For more info this report from NAVSEA has a ton of info, even on shit that will never effect you. https://partner-mco-archive.s3.amazonaw

Are Revolvers Still Practical for Concealed Carry?

Are Revolvers still practical for concealed carry? Short answer is no. Let me explain why. get ready for some massive shit talking. Oh, and I got sources at the bottom for all you nay-sayers Revolvers are cool guns, they are fun to shoot and they can be used to defend your life. And if my only option was a revolver I would carry it. Any gun is better then no gun. But…….. So this is the real world, we’re not in some video game or movie where you start off with a wheel gun and are forced to use it. When you decide to carry a CCW you 99% of the time go to a store and pick out a gun. This means you have options and you are the one responsible for your decision. The only exception to this is if you got a hand me down revolver from a family member and cannot afford to buy something new. But this is not as common as you would think. Revolvers are as practical as the 1920 Ford Model T car. The Model T has a top speed of 45 miles per hour and miles per gallon was about 16-20. The Model T is

Is The Metric System The Best For Defense?

Best caliber for Concealed Carry. What is the best caliber to carry for personal defense? This is a question that has no correct answer. But there are wrong answers. Once again, this is my opinion. And any gun is better than no gun. The logic I am applying to this is if you have to pick 1 gun for an all around defense round. Obviously you don’t need a huge caliber if you are being charged by a coyote, or a super small caliber for a bear. Every caliber has a role, I’m helping you decide what the best all around and most practical caliber is. I’m going to be comparing calibers that are most common for CCW pistols. If you carry a 44mag, 50 AE, 7.62x25….what the fuck is wrong with you??? Your choices are dumb. Let's talk about Energy, joules, ft/lbs. This is arguably the most important You can skip some calibers if you don't care. You can also skip to the bottom to see my final thoughts if you don't want the specs to all the info. We are going to be using Speer ammo fo
