I got these in the mail today. I belive they are 1911 grips but I have no 1911. How odd. And I tore open the package without checking the address or name. Whatever shall I do with these I wonder?

Mine is also the compact version. I carry it near every day in fact.

So I did just that and ordered a 400 round lot of the stuff and I shot 60 rounds of it today. I benchmark against my HST carry load: Seems I achieved my goal of finding a lower cost FMJ load that equaled tge accuracy of my carry load. This ammo wasn't all that expensive either at about .45 a...

I just ordered 500 rounds of .45 and Hogue grips for a 1911. I don't own a 1911 nor even a .45. Why therefore would I do such a thing?

With a hollowpoint in the caliber of your choice.

Something similar happened to me once years ago. I wasn't in much actual danger since I was at one end of the line and the idiot was at the opposite end but still. I reported the incident to the club house and the idiot was permanently banned from the place.

These narrow trays are particularly useful as they can fit BEHIND your long guns The tray above the pistol rack is the bolstered handgun tray, 2 bolstered pistols and their accompanying mag holders can fit in there. In this way I can securely store guns in the immediate carry rotation without...

Reconfigured the safes somewhat to make room for the pistol rack:

11 peg pistol holder for my new safe. I need to buy 6 more pistols now. Won't fit 22's. Those'll have to go in the door mounted organizer pockets. Looks like I need at least 6 more pistols.

Yes, that is very impressive performance. I don't think the TRL-7 has the HP-X variant does it? But the the TRL-7 HL-X isn't really intended as a duty light anyway, runtime is too short. As CCW light for private citizens however it is well suited. On the other hand your HP-X has the...

I suppose I should get an ultrasonic cleaner next

Yes and I can leave my dirty clothes on the floor if I want, never bother closing the bathroom door and drink whatever beverage straight from the container. What's your point? It's still nice to have a dedicated hobby room with everything close at hand Oh and that vise came in today. I keep...

I have a nice selection of quality pocket knives

For my 10/22 project.

Money spent on such anachronistic nonsense is money better spent on more guns, more ammo, accessories and supporting equipment.

What is the difference between the HL-X and HP-X? I am very pleased with my TRL-7 HL-X, outstanding performance for the size AND the money.

I did order a Real Avid Master Gun Vise and also a 11 pistol peg rack. I have a few ideas for reconfiguring the safes when it comes in. I reckon when I run out of safe capacity that is my signal to call the collection complete. I don't want many more long guns, a Beretta 1301, some kind of...

As it is an apartment I am restricted in that regard. I asked the landlord when I moved in if we could change the carpet out for linoleum or tile or even barber carpet but no dice unfortunately. So I laid out two indoor/outdoor rugs over top to at least somewhat protect the carpet.

The safes are SecurIt Agile 52s. They are a modular knockdown safe so easy to reposition and move. I have them both lag bolted to the floor and to each other so its about as secure as I can get it. They wont fit through the doorway bolted together so a would be thief will have to cut it up to...

If by compact you are referring to the old model M&P equivalent in size the the Glock 26 Smith has discontinued it. The current M&P is the same size as the G19 in the 4" version. There is also a 3.6" version which obviously is just slightly shorter. For a true middle ground M&P you might want...

The receiver is actually aluminum clad in polymer. The handguard is entirely polymer but between each MLOK slot there is a partition that encircles the barrel in the same way the endcap does at the muzzle. This makes it feel very rigid and solid. If you ever have the chance to lay hands on...

I don't think it is any better or worse than the Ruger PC Carbine, and in NY you don't have a choice anyway. And to be honest I too thought it would feel cheap and flimsy but it actually feels very solid. I wanted it because I always thought the KelTec Sub 2000 was a really cool carbine but I...

I don't disagree. Unfortunately. I served with some monumentally stupid soldiers Also with some truly bad people. One guy that was in my final unit was dishonorably discharged and handed over to the local authorities, his off duty hobby being armed robbery of gas stations and convenience...

During my time in the Army solders quartered in the barracks were authorized to keep private firearms on post but they must be stored in the company (battery in my case) arms room. To draw your personal arm(s) you would be required to notify your company (battery) CO who you then send the unit...

Probably the same rational that oven, hotplates, electric grills or any other like type of cooking device is banned from the barracks. Microwaves are tge inky cooking device allowed. The brass assumes that soldiers will invariably cause trouble with any device that could cause damage.

In general soldiers do not carry loaded firearms on post. I'm sure the MPs do but for regular troops any arms are locked up in the arms room and the ammo is kept in a separate facility. Nor are soldiers permitted to carry privately owned firearms on their person. Privately owned firearms must...

I purchased a few boxes of 9mm in the three popular weights and will be using a chronograph to find what velocity gains one gains from a pistol to a carbine. A buddy of mine will be bringing his Garmin chronograph and an 8" CZ Scorpion pistol to test alongside a M&P 2.0 compact and the FPC.

General resupply of depleted 9mm stock And a few extra boxes for velocity testing of different bullet weights The first piece of several for my 10/22 Target project. Yes, finally bringing that to fruition.

My 9mm FPC taking it out to 200 yards offhand.

No interest huh?

I'm the same way. Also if someone is doing something dangerous I will speak up. If however if someone shows up with a belt fed machine gun it's not my job nor concern to check paperwork. We all know here that we aren't going to help the government enforce laws we know are unjust.

I have always firmly believed in minding my own damn business.

Meanwhile here in PA I feel inadequate surrounded by guys with suppressed SBRs

Why would that be? I just banged out 300 rounds through my AR yesterday. Had a ton of fun.

Cleaned it this morning, it was absolutely filthy. Take down is toolless and simple once you know how. Cleaning the inside of the receiver is difficult as there is no open access to it. I just hosed it down with some aerosol cleaner and stuffed a rag inside.

I had 500 rounds left from a 1k case of Speer Lawman 124gr Std pressure. It fired all these with one solitary malfunction, a double feed but I caused that by inadvertently blocking the ejection port with my thumb. I was trying to use a firing grip where tge thumb rests alongside to outside of...

I got it yesterday, 08/01. I have been wanting some kind of 9mm carbine for lower cost range fun and I decided on the FPC- LGS charged me just $620 which is less than an M&P pistol. That is why I selected the FPC ultimately, to serve as a companion for my M&P Carry Comp. Initial impressions...

Very fun day at the range today. Shot 1k rounds over hours of time. Been a while since I had a marathon range session. My new Carbine performed admirably and I made a new good friend. I spotted targets for my buddies and he spotted for me, helped each other work out zeros and holds. Just a...

Picked up an S&W FPC 9mm yesterday along with a Holosun AEMS. However the AEMS is going on my HD AR and tge Holosun 515 will be swapped onto the FPC.

Well, the P320 has 3 dead and more than a dozen injuries so far but the Clinton's are probably well ahead of that

While this does violate gun safety rules pistols SHOULD NOT DISCHARGE IN A HOLSTER! Period.

This re-evaluation is beginning now I think. I predict the unfortunate and senseless death of this Airman will prove to be the turning point. And the downfall of SIG.

That's the thing, the P320, Like other pistols, including such as the S&W M&P and Walther PDP, use a fully covked striker. Such guns are essential Single Action designs. In these designs there are still multiple layers of passive safeties to mitigate the risk of an unintentional discharge...

My immediate thought is leftist terrorism but I acknowledge that crazy accidents can happen.

Y'all know anything from "Vice" is gonna be a leftist hit piece right?

Bringing this back to discuss a point: Both in this very thread and elsewhere across the net and around the watercolor there is some debate over whether a pistol is necessary. My point is whether it is necessary or not does having one actually give any encumbrance? I don't think they don't...

No. Not any blast either unless I shoot from a non extended position. It does what it does in pretty much transparent fashion.
