How to install Glock sights

A couple of things to make a note of;
-Tritium is radioactive gas, and even if it is leaking, it is not in a lethal dose.
-Most Glock front sights use screw these days, but older ones used to use wedge/pin or the sight was staked.

Grant Thompson decided to give a shot at making homemade silver bullets. If you have problem with werewolves, this might be important.
According to Guns.com, "94-grains of silver equals about 0.214857 ounces and with the current melt weight spot cost of silver is $19.77 per oz, meaning each projectile had about $4.25 worth of precious metal"
But you can't put price on being able to stop a werewolf.

Massachusetts bans ARs and AKs
Massachusetts Attorney General's office announced that any firearm that is a copy or duplicate of already banned rifles are banned. For a rifle to be a copy/duplicate, it has to have essentially same operating system as ARs and AKs, or the components are interchangable with those of a banned rifles.
Current owners of the rifles are not going to be affected.
This is being described as the enforcement of Massachusetts's current law, but similar law in California was struck down several years ago.
Here's the announcement

Utilizing the shooting diagnostic chart
Recently, John "Shrek" McPhee talked about the Pie Chart. Pie Chart is the shooting diagnostic chart that shows why your shots are going to a particular spot
The origin and the circumstance around the birth of the chart is a bit murky, but there are some criticisms such as the chart being made by a traditional marksmanship shooters who only used one hand shooting.
There is slightly easier, maybe geekier way to diagnose a shooter's problem.
Horizontal movement generally mean there is something wrong with thumb or index finger. Too much or little index finger placement on trigger can shift the gun when fired.
Vertical movements generally mean shooter is flinching or anticipating recoil and try to compensate by moving the gun up.
Combine the two and you can see the problem you need to work on.
