Selling my Walther PPQ M2 in 9mm with two 10 round magazines (part # 2796067) It's brand new, never fired with all accoutrements in the box. The only thing I did with it was swap in the small backstrap to see how it felt. This was an impulse buy a little while ago to take advantage of the...
Took all three to the range tonight and there were definitely some ups and downs. Loaded up two mags from each gun and fired rounds at 24' just to get a feel. Now the VP9 is my go to, the first gun I bought and the one I use for PPC matches so I'm pretty familiar with it. It was my first time...
Not a bad deal. Too bad shipping isn't free, but if you want a lower without insignia, this is a great deal.
PSA AR-15 "Stealth" Stripped Lower Receiver
So tonight is the first PPC match that I've ever shot. Anyone have any pointers, or little things that you might not think about until after you've done it a bunch? Like during the seated part, can you support your arms on one of your knees or is that not allowed?
I was thinking about coregistering my guns with my sister in case I keel over unexpectedly. I want all my guns to go to my son when the time comes, so obviously I should have then on someone else's permit. Do my sister and I simply go to the PPO with our permits and they add them to hers? I'm in...
So Christmas came a few days early, but Santa was non-compliant. He brought my new bad boy, but it's missing something. Can you see what and why? I'm actually a bit ticked off at the Big Guy. Was hoping to take this to the range this weekend.
At the range yesterday I tried shooting with my weak hand for the first time. Holy jeeze, what an awkward endeavor. I'd swear my left hand is smaller than my right as I couldn't seem to get the purchase on the grip like I can with my right. Shooting normally, my two hands work in conjunction...
Attention grabbing, no?
I was perusing Buds gun shop online two days ago and searched for Streamlight stuff and each of these came up for something like $22 for the TLR1 and $13 for the TLR3. So, I bought one of each straight away.
I checked the next day and they were listed as $107 and $132...
Police seek motive in shooting of one outside Cheektowaga Dollar General
Apparently some douche had two 'high powered' AR's, took some shots and ran. No motive yet.
No, no, no. Not that kind of business you pervs.
I went to the doctor today and I was asked the depressed, self worth, anxiety, desire to harm myself or others questions. I've NEVER been asked those questions before. Oddly enough, this is the first time I've been to the doctor since getting my...
For sale is a like new Shield in 9mm. There's only about 100 rounds through it, if that. I just don't shoot it as well as my 43, or my Milennium G2, so I'm putting it up for you guys here. I think it has to do with the narrow, but wide (from the side) grip. It's the model with the thumb safety...
I want to build a rifle that I can eventually use for hunting. What do you guys think is a good, or the best caliber to use for deer hunting that I can build myself. I don't want any crazy boutique type of round where everything is crazy expensive and impossible to find. I know there is a lot of...
So, the wife and I headed over to Wolcott guns tonight and put some holes in paper. She shot the Marlin 60, and I put my first shots through the shield. What a great shooting gun. Very precise, but not so accurate out of the box. It was shooting about 3" to the left at 10 yards. For a small gun...
And I'm pleasantly surprised. Had it in the 22lr configuration and shot about fifty rounds out of it. It was incredibly more accurate than the Taurus PT911 I fired the other day. Could be multiple reasons. Less flinching due to minimal recoil, the gun fits way better with the small grip module...
Just read the owners manual on my newly acquired Taurus PT911 and it stated that "dry firing is bad for this firearm". I didn't know that at first and had dry fired it probably a dozen times or so. Is it truly bad for this gun? From doing a cursory internet search, it seems that all Taurus...
... It's $30. Yesterday I bough a Maglula uplula on Amazon cuz it was $19, and the local shops are selling it for $39. Went online today to get another for my sister and the price went up to $30.80. I've seen this many times on Amazon. Even just adding it to my wish list or cart would cause it...
So I'm awoken at 3:00 this morning by a barrage of text messages from my sister. Turns out some druggie, dirtbag tried to break into my sister's apartment wielding a knife. He was the boyfriend of the druggie bitch who lives across the hall. He wanted my sister's classic Monte for some reason...
I've been looking for a Browning BL-22 for my little guy for a while now, but couldn't get past the $550 price tag, and maybe $499 if you were to find it on sale. I noticed there's a $100 rebate right now, so I stopped at Dicks on a whim cuz I had a coupon, and they had one marked down to $479...
Does anyone know of any online retailers who will send firearms with over 10 round magazines to an FFL, so the FFL can send them to the manufacturer to be swapped for 10 rounders? I'm asking cuz the gun I want to get isn't available anywhere with 10 round magazines. I called Walther, and they...
This may seem a bit random, a bit of a long shot, and perhaps a bit um, ghey, but I have tons of old Popular Photography magazines that I'm parting with and it'll kill me to just toss them. Seems like there might be a few photo enthusiasts on here, so I'm offering these to anyone in the Buffalo...
I know that may sound like an oxymoron to many of you, but when I first started dreaming of having my pistol permit and the guns I would have, this was one of them. I used to draw pictures of it on my notebooks in school. Back then I just like the looks of it all polished, with the bull emblem...
Ok, since I've never had the opportunity to bring pistols to a firing range, I'm not sure what features are must haves for a range bag. Like, what things would i not think of having until I realize that they're not in my bag? What recommendations (specific bags and general features) can you guys...
Do people without felony convictions, restraining orders, and/or those who haven’t had any documented issues with depression get denied for a CCP? I’m asking because I just didn’t get a good vibe (whatever that’s worth) from the police chief who did my face to face interview.
Here’s a few...
So does anyone run aftermarket steel or tungsten guide rods in their pistols? I've seen these for the Glock 43 and Sig P250 both of which I have waiting for me. Do they noticeably mitigate recoil and help you get back on target faster? I've watched a few videos, but you never know if some of the...
Has anyone else downloaded the Shooting Illustrated app? I know many folks aren't too particularly fond of the NRA as of late, but the app does have lots of good reading. New products, tips, articles and such. Some of it is just stuff regurgitated from their magazine, but there's lots of stuff...
In another thread I mentioned that I got a smoking deal on an M&P Shield 9mm that I planned on using as an around the house gun that I would wear, well, around the house. I got the one with the thumb safety just for that extra level of safety as I have a five year old terrorizing the joint. I...
Armed Robber Out-Gunned, Taken Down By Store Employees
Both those guys are lucky they have the same number of holes in them that they were born with. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor, but not if it gets you killed.
So while I've been waiting for the permit process to progress, I've been getting a bit antsy. I've always liked the modularity of the Sig P250 but since I can't shoot one, I have no idea if I like it. I love the idea of the same gun in both 22lr and 9mm, and up until recently couldn't find...
Ordered a Walther PPQ 22 from Bud's today and shortly thereafter received an e-mail stating that they can't ship the gun to me because it's not compliant in New York due to the melting point law. Pardon my French, but what the fuck is that? So, is there no-one in N.Y.with a PPQ 22 or is Bud's...
So, I called a guy that I've bought a few long guns from before and asked if he could get me a couple pistols that I have my heart set on. I know what the online prices are. I know what the local prices are, and they're outrageous. So, he gives me the prices and they're within dollars of the...
sorry, title should read VP9 or PPQ or both?
Since I'm going stir crazy waiting for this pistol permit process to be over (my references were just called two days ago after just short of 14 months), I've been looking at many potential pistols for my first one, which will likely be my primary...
Had a surprise day off today, so i figured I'd finally put my Mesa Tactical Urbino pistol grip stock that's been sitting around for a while on my 930 SPX. Simple enough. The directions read "simply remove return spring tube from receiver". Yeah, simple. Should have been, lol, but the damn thing...
So, while I've been waiting to exercise my 2nd amendment, I've had lots of time to mull over what my first pistol purchase will be. It will not be used for concealed carry, but primarily a range gun and one to learn trigger control and discipline, sight alignment and other foundational pistol...
So I've talked to two people now who crushed my pipe dream that maybe my town doesn't bother to call their applicants nor their references and just submits the application after a cursory check of the individual. Both of these people said that a permit application in my particular township...
Went out to Wolcott guns last night with a buddy to shoot his new M4 and my new 15-22 to sight in a new red dot that I got for it. Well, I was done shooting, turned around to put the gun in the case and the case wasn't right behind me where I left it. Looked over in the other corner and there...
Went to the LGS tonight just to poke around and an old acquaintance works there and asked if I wanted to see anything. I'm sure he wouldn't have asked for a permit, but I declined and told him I didn't have my permit yet. Just don't want to get anyone in trouble, including myself. It would have...
Wife and I are planning on moving within the next few years hoping to get a bigger place and some land. I know the rule that you can't shoot within 500ft of a neighboring dwelling, but I was wondering if any of you have experience with shooting on your own property or an acquaintances, so that I...
So, if I ever actually get my pistol permit this decade, I was wondering how many guns one can buy at once or over a certain period of time. Is there a limit per month, or only one gun at a time sort of thing? I've been saving up for the last ten months, so I'll have a pretty good chunk of...
If you can even find them, the premium on them has gone up just a tad.
DD's used to sell Anderson lowers for $69, now $99 which isn't nearly as bad as BGC who wants $129 for the same lower. I asked if that was for a Spikes Tactical lower... Nope, Anderson. Yikes.
Found an Anderson at Primary...
...standard parts kit and buy a separate trigger kit? Looking for a lower parts kit for a build, and was wondering what you guys do or would have done had you known better.
Hopefully it isn't uncouth to start a thread similar to one on the other forum. There was a ton of useful info in there, so I figured I'd start it off. Surprised nobody has as of yet.
Submitted application on January 23rd
Fingerprinted January 25th
Interview with local pd... Yeah, still f'ing...
Always picked last.
Naw, just kidding. Celt was nice enough to give me a heads up and I came over under a new alias however. Changed from sansfenders which is my usual Motorsport forum name to something more appropriate. Glad to be here.
