I shoot the Lake City 62 grain 5.56

I understand the excitement. I'm going to order mine today. Here's my deal, though, and open to opinions. I was going to do the full build, but after communication with a really helpful guy, I may go with the full upper assembly, barrel and all from Centurion. See, I can get the 14.5 with the...

I had an ole, deaf, bullseye champ give me crap for my tuned Kimber, because it wouldn't feed his reloads that looked like they were handmade by some third world rebel faction.

I make custom leather lined Kydex holsters, as well. You can PM if you want, but I'm not trying to sell you anything you don't need. I think that if you punch both arms straight out, you can line up your sights with either eye, and shoot with which ever hand you're comfortable with. Unless you...

I've been wearing this belt for three to four years, now. I carry a 1911, or a Sig229. It works fine, and is comfortable.

I don't know if BM still makes this configuration, but I have a Carbon 15 ( standard AR/M4 type). I decked it out with Magpul MOE furniture. Weighs in at just over 7lbs, loaded. I've put thousands of rounds through it, and only issues have been with Wolf ammo when I gave in to temptation of...

Thanks. Good stuff. I enjoyed those videos quite a bit.

IMO, and I know it's more money, but I'd have my wife look at the Walther PPK over the Bersa, if she wanted a .380, and they look pretty similar. I don't know much about the Bersa, but I do know Walther. Edit: I see Rick mentioned it already, so I second the opinion. For twice the money as the...

Thanks for the welcome. I should get a hold of a Glock 17 to see. Not sure why I have an aversion to them with no experience with them. I was a dedicated 1911 guy, am still. But wanted a cheaper carry gun, and got the XD. Still carried the 1911. Now I carry the 229. I'll get on topic in other...

I've never had a Glock, but I had a couple XD's. The XD .45 felt useless compared to my 1911s, so I sold it fairly soon. The XD.40 was showing signs of wear after a few thousand rounds. My Sig 229, with a few thousand rounds through it doesn't seem worn at all. Not that this means anything, as I...
