    What Would You Buy

    Who the hell could afford to feed an M134 with 7.62 NATO/.308 Win costing $1 or more a shot these days?!. I couldn't even afford to feed an L4 Bren with it's positively sedate rate of fire.

    What Would You Buy

    Some kind of 9mm full auto sub gun to start, a B&T GM9 perhaps. Then I'd track down an L4 Series (7.62 NATO) Bren gun. Also one of those recent Kinghts Armaments belt fed machine guns. Select fire lower or conversion for AR15.

    Pam Bondi files charges against Kathy Houcul !!!!

    Fuck all this legal nonsense, Trump needs to start sending out Delta, SEALS, or what have you, out to Bin Laden these leftist traitors. I want to see democrats, and Hocunt especially, strung up by their toes, beaten and broken like Musolini. I'd take a road trip up there to piss on her corpse.

    New Gun Releases. See something new to the market, share it!

    Not a new gun but a surprising one, to me at least: https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/s-w-csx-e-series-3-6-inch A slightly re-vamped version of S&W's obscure single action carry gun, the CSX-E. I'm suprised to see this since supposedly the gun media killed this poor thing over the way the...

    New Gun Releases. See something new to the market, share it!

    We've discussed this before. We are on a technological plateau, not to mention tge market isn't often welcoming of actual innovation to begin with. There will have to be a technological paradigm shift, some heretofore unknown technology or technique that blows current design norms away. And...

    QD Scope Mounts

    I did have a Bobro QD ACOG mount and I did dismount it several times to test it's return to zero and each time the POI was the same. Other mounts like the Midwest Industries QD mount I have will usually have a small shift, only an amount of consequence to target shooting. For hunting should be...

    S&W M&P Compact Carry Comp Range Report

    Okay, I get that but why even get a Carry Comp then? A standard M&P 2.0 is the same thing at that point. Now your slide port will be a faux port and that......... I can't stand fake ports, vents, ducts ect. I suppose the ports on the side of the nose serve no purpose either. Nor the speed...

    S&W M&P Compact Carry Comp Range Report

    Why are you swapping barrels? The factory barrel has the port cut into it, swap that and most of the point of the Csrry Comp model is gone. I mean yeah, tge slide serrations are both pretty and useful but the factory integegral comp supposed to be the main draw. From the info I have looked up...

    S&W M&P Compact Carry Comp Range Report

    Fair enough, being limited to 10 rounds certainly has a strong influence on what you'll carry. I d probably only ever carry the Shield Plus in that situation myself. Nevertheless, see if that 507 just mounts directly on for you.

    QD Scope Mounts

    Return to Zero on QD mounts vary by manufacturer and individual mount. Bobro probably has the best repeatable RtZ but are also quite expensive and somewhat bulky around the latch area. They are fairly light as well. Most other mounts will retain a quick and dirty zero that will likely need to...

    S&W M&P Compact Carry Comp Range Report

    I think you will be very pleased with it. A few points- Regarding holster fitment: yes holsters made for the M&P 2.0 should fit the Carry Comps. The Carry Comp Polymer Compact and Metal Fullsize have the same slide/barrel length, the later has the full 17 round grip while the former has the 15...

    HKS are fine, the old stand-by. I think the Safariland Comp Loaders are better but they don't offer a 7 shot loader should you get a 7 shot revolver.

    You are a grown man and you do as you please, no one has any right to tell you what you should do with your money. That said I will give you my very humble opinion: Go have a look at those Tauruses, I don't poo-ppo that brand like some. If you like them then buy em. However I have always...

    .357 Revolvers

    It's to prevent snagging on the draw, particularly for pocket carry. It's also an acknowledgement that in a defensive situation you are not going to be shooting single action anyways so a hammer spur is an extraneous feature. For deliberate, accurate fire the double action pull can be staged...

    .357 Revolvers

    @Vapor since you are familiar with the G19X here are some size comparison photos between a standard Glock 19 and a 3" S&W L Frame: As you can see the two a quite comparable in size. The revolver style of grip makes the L Frame a little longer and a little taller but the shape of it means it...

    .357 Revolvers

    I'm way down south but also about 1,800ft ASL. Where I start my shift is 2,000ft ASL. It gets cold up here too. And windy. And foggy, very, very foggy.

    .357 Revolvers

    I started work last night at 6:30pm and it was 50. By the end of my shift it was 22 and freezing rain. Now it is about 29 but no wind and bright and sunny. If it went so damn soggy everywhere this would otherwise be good weather to shoot

    .357 Revolvers

    It's funny YOU mention that. About the snowshoes on the range. In early December I procured a 1k round case of quality 9mm then the holidays came and immediately after that this dreadful cold snap with all the snow and ice hit and I have not shot one single round. It's sunny and warmish now...

    .357 Revolvers

    Well revolvers are fun anyway. Lots of versatility for woods work too. You can easily swap in some snake shot if needed and revolvers cycle everything regardless of power level which is nice. I've even gotten some enjoyment out of drilling to minimize reload times. I've gotten my time down to...

    .357 Revolvers

    Get a revolver because you think theybare cool, not because they are "more powerful". For self defense against humans a semi auto IS more effective. My primaries are either a S&W Shield Plus or an M&P Compact. I love my 586 and I doncarry it occasionally but I 8n no way think the latter is a...

    .357 Revolvers

    I'm just saying, it's not so cut and dry. The S&W 627PC w/ 2.5 barrel, aka the "bloodwork" revolver is considered to be properly a snub nose and the 327 "Pugnose" is a snub but both are rather larger than an L frame 3" which is not generally considered a snub nose. A medium frame 3" revolver...

    .357 Revolvers

    Define "Snub Nose". Is a S&W L frame with a 3" barrel and snub nose? There seems to be no concensus on this, with some saying it would be and others saying it isn't. @Vapor, I have a S&W 586 L-Comp which is S&W's medium-heavy frame in .357 Magnum, 7 shot cylinder and a 3" barrel w/ integral...

    What's your EDC knife?

    An unexpected, albeit very welcome, benefit of the extremely low mass my Para 3 LW has been that it enables tge pocket clip to keep things pit no matter what.

    What's your EDC knife?

    Well, I have to disagree with your assertion of higher end steels being an overindulgence. D2 is an excellent steel in it's intended application: jigs and especially dies where its high hardness gives it a good service life. For blades however, while good it is not particularly corrosion...

    Ah, not an option. I don't own the truck, I am not supposed to be carrying a gun at work. I cannot fix a holster to the interior. And my biggest issue with belt carry at work is not so much one of comfort, the Ironside is sufficient, though not especially, comfortable for me to wear for long...

    What's your EDC handgun?

    My daily EDC load out for the past full week. I find the T-Rex Arms Ironside hybrid IWB holster comfortable enough to wear over even a 12 hour shift behind the wheel, no small feat considering that in the past even carrying the G19 in a leather OWB holster became extremely uncomfortable over...

    Cloud Defensive EPL

    That might look good under a prospective M&P10 PC. They were wise to go with Streamlight style switching, simplest and most intuitive style. Equally wise to include customizable switches too., allows for an asymmetric setup again like on a Streamlight. All this being said with the new HL-X...

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    With around 1,500 rounds down range through my new setup I think it's safe to say the DPP Titanium adapter plate is GTG. The supplied screws were the proper length and everything has held together firmly, no loss of screw torque. The Holosun EPS is also a great optic, I really like how lo-pro...
