I have had such favorable response from this last commentary I decided to expand it to many other models of handguns to help the average gun owner as well as all LEO's. Its not easy for me to keep up with 5 bloggers but I will be adding to my others as time allows. You can always email me with suggestions at tjacobson@houston.rr.com


AA. A Browning Hi Power (BHP) is a superb weapon and I personally think its John Brownings best design. I have never carried one because its too heavy for my purposes but if kept clean and when the trigger is corrected to the 5 lb. range it is a very good self defense weapon. I will not ever do any drastic modifications like other people do as I always worry about going before a grand jury after a social encounter. Keep this pistol close to stock as most people do not get the trigger right because the safety will not hold when metal is removed off the sear and or the hammer unless you re arrange the geometry.

BB. There is nothing wrong with removing the magazine safety from the BHP as it scrapes the very front top of the magazine as you pull the trigger in the initial take up. Removing the trigger pin if its tight is not easy and you can easily scar the frame, use caution.

CC. The old style BHP pistols had a small thumb safety and the current factory version is much better. I do not know of any decent after market thumb safety that I have ever seen.

DD. I do not see any advantage in using a round small commander style hammer as being left handed it just becomes more difficult to cock the hammer. I much rather use a straight spur hammer on my personal BHP. If you are worried about hammer bite you can easily solve that problem by removing 1/8 of an inch off the straight hammer spur.

EE. For people that want to read excellent articles about the BHP and other handguns you must go to Stephen Camps excellent website at www.hipowersandhandguns.com

FF. In regards to people that own Sig Sauer pistols. I strongly recommend that you do not ever remove the very hard anodizing off the frame which is done in Germany. In my opinion you will ruin your frame if the anodizing is bead blasted off and plated with a different finish.

GG. If you have a Sig Sauer that has a plated slide and it lacks about 1/4 inch of going into battery it is because of a plating build up and that area where the plating is too thick it must be removed. This has been a major problem for a long time in the Sigs I have seen.

HH. If you are using a Sig Sauer pistol, it incorporates a hammer reset spring design and I strongly recommend that you buy some extra reset springs so that in case yours breaks you can fix it quickly. If you do not listen to me you could be stranded with a paper weight.

II. The sig pistols that are not as prone to break their hammer reset springs are the 232 and the 239.

JJ. I do not recommend that you change the firing pin spring in the standard Sig design because these are timed springs and if you insist on installing a stronger firing pin spring you will have problems with reliability. Listen to the German Sig engineers.

KK. I personally think the older Sig 220 is a better design than the current model that is in production.

LL. The Sig line of pistols that are in current production are now using MIM (metal injection molded) parts.

MM. If you have an HK USP compact you may find the 45 acp model has a very slow trigger return system. This in my opinion is a design flaw and can easily be corrected when refining this pistol.

NN. If you have an HK USP you may find the decocker sticks when it becomes very dry and or full of grit. This can be corrected by removing it and cleaning it and I use a small amount of Militec grease. www.militec-1.com

OO. You can not easily change the captive dual recoil spring on any HK USP as the factory has a special jig to break the front lock ring and after the new spring (s) are installed they install a new lock ring.

PP. The new Walther PPK/S pistols that are sold by S&W have a different modified action as compared to the old design. Do I think its any better ?? NO

QQ. The S&W model 3913 is still a good selection for a small carry gun. Have they cheapened it ?? Yes , but it will still work well as most of the companies are now using internal parts made of plastic and they have MIM parts.

RR. I can still recommend the S&W 642 light weight "J" frame revolver that is hammerless. This action is DAO and its 15 lbs out of the box but it can be improved. It has a keyed external safety that is worthless in my opinion but it must be left intact.

SS. I am still of the opinion that the Makarov pistol is the very best buy in America if you can find one. They come from different countries of origin and they contain about 30 parts in total. In my archives I have written a 7 part commentary about this excellent pistol. I am now experimenting with a chrome silicon alloy recoil spring for this pistol that is made by ISMI Gunsprings www.ismi-gunsprings.com

TT. There is a new recoil spring for the HK P7 M8 which is made out of chrome silicon by ISMI which is rated at 22 lbs. I installed one of these in my own P7. You can call Marc at 800 773 1940.

UU. You can not just change or cut springs. Do not ever let anyone just cut your springs when you are not there as your very life depends on it. A person must understand how to remove the friction out of the action before you install reduced power hammer and or trigger return springs.

VV. In order to adjust the angle of a metal follower in a 1911 magazine I use a specially made steel block that has the very angle I need. This is my guide, this is never something to guess at.

WW. I want all of you to be aware that www.trippresearch.com
will be coming out with another model of their excellent "COBRA" magazine for the 1911 pistol.

XX. I want you to know that I use Militec metal conditioner for many things including my tactical knives and my tools. All my carry guns have a micro thin coating of this superior lubricant. This will also be used by www.cheytac.com
on their 408 caliber sniper rifle that the US Marines are using in Iraq.

YY. My favorite very small handguns are made by North American Arms. I like their Mini Revolvers as well as their Guardian pistols. Go to www.naaminis.com.com

ZZ. If you are shooting weak ball ammunition at the range, do not increase the recoil spring rating as specified by the factory. You will have feeding and extraction problems if you insist on increasing the factory rated recoil spring using any weak ammo. Do not believe all the BS you read in these chat rooms and or some publications. You must keep your handgun clean and lightly oiled and always seal your primers.



'Only a matter of time before terrorists use weapons of mass destruction'
Con Coughlin / London Telegraph January 17 2006

Biological weapons pose a far more serious long-term terrorist threat to the West than nuclear weapons, according to Washington's leading counter-terrorism expert.

And Henry "Hank" Crumpton, the newly-appointed head of counter-terrorism at the US State Department, believes that it is simply a matter of time before international terrorist groups such as al-Qa'eda acquire weapons of mass destruction and use them in attacks.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mr Crumpton, who previously spent 20 years working for the Central Intelligence Agency, warned yesterday that the "war on terror" was likely to last for decades.

"This threat has changed the way we will fight wars in the future," he said.
"We are talking about micro targets such as al-Qa'eda which, when combined with WMD, have a macro impact. I rate the probability of terror groups using WMD [to attack Western targets] as very high. It is simply a question of time.

"And it is not just the nuclear threat that bothers me. I think, if anything, the biological threat is going to grow.
"As catastrophic as a nuclear attack would be, it would be self-contained. But if you look at a worst-case scenario for a biological attack, it would be difficult to determine whether or not it was a terrorist attack, and it would be far more difficult to contain."

After the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001, Mr Crumpton, who was then a senior CIA officer, played a leading role in the campaign to overthrow the Taliban and destroy al-Qa'eda's operational infrastructure in Afghanistan, which relied heavily on covert operations.

After the war, allied forces found that al-Qa'eda had been working on anthrax programmes that it intended to use on western targets.
"They had hired a very experienced biologist to work on this. They were very serious about it and there is no reason to believe they have given up on their interest."

The fear that terrorist groups might be able to acquire WMD from rogue states such as Iran or Syria explains Washington's determination to confront Iran over its nuclear programme.
"If we look at the threat posed by Iran, they have links with Hizbollah [the Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim militia], which is a terrorist organisation with global reach, and they are actively pursuing WMD. And the leadership has made a conscious decision to defy international treaties. I am deeply troubled by this."

As for taking action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, Mr Crumpton insisted that "every option is on the table" - including military action.
"I would not rule out anything because of the particularly grave threat that we are facing," he said.

In a distinguished career with the CIA, during which he won four of the agency's highest awards, Mr Crumpton was a key figure in its covert operations against al-Qa'eda pre-September 11.
Referred to simply as "Henry" in the 9/11 Commission Report, Mr Crumpton tried to persuade the CIA to do more in Afghanistan to hunt down Osama bin Laden before the attacks, but two key proposals to tackle al-Qa'eda were turned down.

After the September 11 attacks, in which he lost many close friends, he was initially overwhelmed by sorrow.
"But that sorrow was soon replaced by anger, anger that al-Qa'eda could do this to innocent people - and the anger lasted for more than a year."
Mr Crumpton stresses the coalition's achievements in disrupting bin Laden's network. In his view, al-Qa'eda's infrastructure has been so badly damaged that it is now struggling to control the groups that would like to support it.

"They can't communicate with their supporters unless the odd courier breaks through. They can't get access to money and things like that. We have made life very difficult for them."
But despite the initial success achieved during the Afghan war in 2001, he expressed disappointment with the support Washington had received from its European allies since hostilities ended. "The job was not finished and it is not finished now." Bin Laden, who escaped to Pakistan, was "in all probability" still alive, he said.

The regime of President Assad in Syria also seriously threatens western security, he says. "The regime continues to support terror organisations. And we know that the Baathist leadership fled to Damascus taking with them money and terrorist expertise, and we cannot rule out the fact that some of that expertise related to WMD."



AMERICAN HIROSHIMA

The search for nukes in Washington, D.C.

Government monitors radiation levels
at 100 Muslim mosques, homes, sites

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. government has been monitoring radiation levels at more than 100 mosques, homes, businesses and other sites in and around the nation's capital and at least five other cities since Sept. 11, 2001, providing further evidence law enforcement officials suspect terrorists have secreted nuclear or radiological weapons inside the country.

WorldNetDaily first reported on al-Qaida's decade-long plans to detonate nuclear devices in seven major U.S. cities simultaneously in an operation it calls "American Hiroshima."

In numerous cases, reports U.S. News, the monitoring required investigators to go on to the property under surveillance, although no search warrants or court orders were ever obtained.

The nuclear surveillance program began in early 2002 and has been run by the FBI and the Department of Energy's Nuclear Emergency Support Team, or NEST, according to the report.

The other cities monitored include Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, New York, and Seattle.

As WorldNetDaily reported, former FBI consultant Paul L. Williams describes how al-Qaida has already purchased some post-Soviet mini-nukes and hired Russians to help them operate them. The report was first published in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium, online intelligence newsletter published by WND's founder.

Al-Qaida's prime targets for launching nuclear terrorist attacks are the nine U.S. cities with the highest Jewish populations, according to captured leaders and documents.

As reported last week in G2 Bulletin, Osama bin Laden is planning what he calls an "American Hiroshima," the ultimate terrorist attack on U.S. cities, using nuclear weapons already smuggled into the country across the Mexican border along with thousands of sleeper agents.

The series of attacks is designed to kill 4 million, destroy the economy and fundamentally alter the course of history.

At least two fully assembled and operational nuclear weapons are believed to be hidden in the United States already, according to G2 Bulletin intelligence sources and an upcoming book, "The al-Qaida Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime and the Coming Apocalypse," by former FBI consultant Paul L. Williams.

The cities chosen as optimal targets are New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston and Washington, D.C. New York and Washington top the preferred target list for al-Qaida leadership.

Osama bin Laden's goal, according to G2 Bulletin sources, is to launch one initial attack, followed by a second on another city to simulate the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The optimal dates for the attacks are Aug. 6, the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, Sept. 11 and May 14, the anniversary of the re-creation of the state of Israel in 1948.

The captured terrorists and documents also suggest smaller attacks may take place on American soil before the nuclear incidents. They may include some involving automatic weapons at schools and shopping malls, but will not include any airplane hijackings. Why? Because bin Laden does not want any failed efforts to overshadow "the success of Sept. 11." There will also not be any attacks on U.S. nuclear power plants. The rationale?

The nuclear power plants can act as force multipliers when the weapons of mass destruction are detonated.
Another requirement dictated from the top at al-Qaida is that the attacks take place in daylight, so that the whole world will be able to see the images of a mushroom cloud over an American city.

One of the sources for the information is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the chief planner of the Sept. 11 attacks, who is now in U.S. custody.
As previously reported by G2 Bulletin, al-Qaida has obtained at least 40 nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union – including suitcase nukes, nuclear mines, artillery shells and even some missile warheads.

In addition, documents captured in Afghanistan show al-Qaida had plans to assemble its own nuclear weapons with fissile material it purchased on the black market.

U.S. military sources also say there is evidence to suggest al-Qaida is paying former Russian special forces "Spetznaz" troops to assist the terrorist group in locating nuclear weapons planted in the U.S. during the Cold War. Osama bin Laden's group is also paying nuclear scientists from Russia and Pakistan to maintain its existing nuclear arsenal and assemble additional weapons with the materials it has invested hundreds of millions in procuring over a period of 10 years. Al-Qaida sources indicate they would prefer to use Russian-made weapons for symbolic reasons.

The plans for the devastating nuclear attack on the U.S. have been under development for more than a decade. It is designed as a final deadly blow to the U.S., which is seen by al-Qaida and its allies as "the Great Satan."

At least half the nuclear weapons in the al-Qaida arsenal were obtained for cash from the Chechen terrorist allies.
But the most disturbing news is that high level U.S. officials now believe at least some of those weapons have been smuggled into the U.S. for use in the near future in major cities as part of this "American Hiroshima" plan.

According to Williams, former CIA Director George Tenet informed President Bush one month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that at least two suitcase nukes had reached al-Qaida operatives in the U.S.
"Each suitcase weighed between 50 and 80 kilograms (approximately 110 to 176 pounds) and contained enough fissionable plutonium and uranium to produce an explosive yield in excess of two kilotons," wrote Williams.

"One suitcase bore the serial number 9999 and the Russian manufacturing date of 1988.
The design of the weapons, Tenet told the president, is simple. The plutonium and uranium are kept in separate compartments that are linked to a triggering mechanism that can be activated by a clock or a call from the cell phone."

According to the author, the news sent Bush "through the roof," prompting him to order his national security team to give nuclear terrorism priority over every other threat to America.

However, it is worth noting that Bush failed to translate this policy into securing the U.S.-Mexico border through which the nuclear weapons and al-Qaida operatives are believed to have passed with the help of the MS-13 smugglers. He did, however, order the building of underground bunkers away from major metropolitan areas for use by federal government managers following an attack.

Bin Laden, according to Williams, has nearly unlimited funds to spend on his nuclear terrorism plan because he has remained in control of the Afghanistan-produced heroin industry. Poppy production has greatly increased even while U.S. troops are occupying the country, he writes. Al-Qaida has developed close relations with the Albanian Mafia, which assists in the smuggling and sale of heroin throughout Europe and the U.S.

Some of that money is used to pay off the notorious MS-13 street gang between $30,000 and $50,000 for each sleeper agent smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico. The sleepers are also provided with phony identification, most often bogus matricula consular ID cards indistinguishable from Mexico's official ID, now accepted in the U.S. to open bank accounts and obtain driver's licenses.

According to Williams' sources, thousands of al-Qaida sleeper agents have now been forward deployed into the U.S. to carry out their individual roles in the coming "American Hiroshima" plan.
