    Saiga Question

    So the saigas chambered in 7.62 x39 come with a TEN round magazine and not 8, correct? Is it safe to assume that the dealer was misinformed about the saiga holding only 8 rounds?

    Saiga Question

    Hey all...I noticed on RAA Saiga's website that there is a Saiga .308 model and a Saiga 7.62 model. I understand that the .308 model is chambered in 7.62, but fires .308 winchester cartridge, whereas the 7.62 model is also chambered in 7.62, but fires the 7.62 x 39 cartridge. Does that simply...

    Spare Handgun Ammunition

    Well I don't usually carry, because I can't legally. But in the extreme cases where I might have to (i.e. chaos or natural disasters) I am prepared with 5 magazines. 1 mag in the pistol, 2 mags in a mag pouch on my belt, and 2 mags in a mag pouch in my bag. Total equals 50 rounds of .45 ACP for...

    Any experience with Advanced technology stocks?

    Hey all...Several years ago, I purchased a top folding stock made by advanced technologies for my mossberg 500. Although it looks nice, it is very impractical. It is difficult to shoot w/ the stock open due to the hard plastic that digs into my shoulder. However, when the stock is folded, the...

    How long can HK mags be loaded for?

    I suppose that in order to ensure the longevity of my mags I should alternate a couple of them at a time...Have half of them loaded for a few days then switch to the other half??? The last thing I would want is to have an intruder break in while I'm asleep, and then I have to load every round in...

    How long can HK mags be loaded for?

    So there should be no problem with me keeping all my magazines loaded for several months at a time with a loaded magazine in the pistol? I don't load a round in to the chamber, but like to keep my pistol w/ a fully loaded magazine. I just noticed that it took lots of force to push the loaded...

    How long can HK mags be loaded for?

    Hmm...Won't the springs become loose after a long period of being compressed?

    How long can HK mags be loaded for?

    Hey all...I just purchased an HK USP .45F with night sights about a month ago. I had a couple questions I was hoping that some people could answer: 1. How long can magazines be fully loaded (10 rounds in CA) without any adverse effects on the magazines or the ammo that is left in there? 2. I...

    Buyer's Remorse: HK USP .45F

    I know I probably sound primitive, but I have no idea how to post pics on the internet. I have a camera on my cell phone and even that was difficult to master. *sigh*...One day I'll figure it out.

    Buyer's Remorse: HK USP .45F

    Thanks all! I was hoping that I would feel better about my purchase after posting this thread, and I do...I feel very motivated now to get a better shot. I'm just glad that there are several people that believe in quality over quantity.

    Buyer's Remorse: HK USP .45F

    Hey all...I have been shooting for about a year now-- mostly all rental guns at the range, but I finally picked up a new HK USP .45 in full size. I love the looks and the external safety with decocker. Anyhow, I recently went to the range with a buddy who owns a glock 17, XD .45, and a Ruger...

    Cho, narcississm and a nation of cowards.

    The BIG point that many people are missing here is that the students who hid in an attempt to preserve their own lives did not know whether or not Cho would have the chance to kill 100% of the students in their class. It was noted that he shot in multiple classrooms and not just a single one...

    What's wrong with Sigs???

    The guy at the range said he carried springfields, glocks, HKs, Rugers, Berettas, and I think that is it...I figure that if I live in CA and the limit is 10 rounds per mag, I might as well utilize the maximum number of rounds. There could be a situation w/ multilple assailants or targets that...

    What's wrong with Sigs???

    I would opt for a P220...Was comparing the P220 to the USP .45F...I really would like a pistol that can have at least 10 rounds...In CA, so 10 rounds would be the max. Hey Salty Dog...Do you have anything to do with the "Salty Dog" bar in Orange County???
