good question! I'm a lefty but shoot right handed and while i do a sortof slingshot to release the slide i would be worried about getting one of those malfunctions where you have to lock your slide back and clear the breach etc. (can't remember what "type" malf that is but if you've taken a...

First of all thanks. I've been looking for a more orderly evaluation than someone shooting a mag or two from a borrowed gun. Secondly were there any FTF, FTE or any other malfunctions during your shooting? TIA.

You might try posting this question at AR15.com ..click on the discussion forums tab and select hometown then go to the virginia's forum. We have folks from all over VA there, i'm in northern VA myself and am not familiar with charlottesville.

at a pat rogers class i took last year everyone had ARs except for one Armalite .308 (AR10?) and a romak AK. The .308 had continous malfunctions, the opinion was the tight match type chamber. That shooter , an experienced shooter BTW, ended the course with an AR. The AK shooter i did not...

loosen or remove the screw and pistol grip, when you take the PG off you'll notice a small spring coming out of a recess in the left side of the grip, that spring applies presure to a detent pin that is retaining your safety, the pin may fall out when you remove the spring. Make sure that when...

I usually make it a point to pick up a empty case or two when i'm stuffing my mags at the range and insert them randomly into the mags on my glocks. Damn good thing to practice as i still can't do it gracefully after many many reps.

except for a shoulder holster... or a cross draw rig.

I like that!

I guess i'm missing something. Why would you want to add another components tolerances to the chain when you can just mount directly to the flattop? Use a QR mount or even the dual thumbscrew Trijicon mount and you can quickly dismount and pop something else on. My TA01NSN mounts much more...

also called a 1913 rail i believe, for the year in which the spec was developed. Be aware that not every rail, even a picatiny, are created equal. although i think your RRA rail is fine (mine is).

man i sure wish more people were writing about shooting this gun! With summer approaching i would surely like a reliable pocket 9, but frankly i am not convinced it is doable in a package this small. When i start reading about folks putting several hundred rounds through one with no...

following that logic i would need to find a vibram belt...maybe not a bad idea considering my gut growth.

yeah i've considered getting rails for my lightweight 18" carbine but i'm worried about the weight up front. Light's a given and maybe a VFG but then with the weight of the rail i'm worried about swinging too much weight around. That's why i ended up going with a lightweight barrel and a KAC...

so why do you want the rails?

back when i weighed 133 lbs and was 6 ft i used to carry a S&W 39 in a shoulder holster in a way and a place and among people that would have resulted in me getting in a lot of trouble, i had no problem.
