    Places to go plinking in SLC, Utah

    I have a membership to a range and I use it very frequently but since I am a newcomer to the SLC area I am not familiar with good places to go plinking. I live in Riverton and I would like to find someplace about 20 mins away to go plinking. Does anybody from this area have any suggestions?

    The possibilities are endless. Here is a sample of stuff you can get other than a rifle or a handgun: PD Ammo - Some expensive hollow-points New wood handgun grips (1911 or Sig) Conceal-carry Leather Jacket (i.e. Sig Tac) Nice Range Bag (i.e. Uncle Mike's, Midway USA, Maxpedition, etc.)...

    Careers in the firearm industry?

    I work for ATK's Space division. I just checked our website and there are over 400 open positions. If you are a professional (accountant, engineer, lawyer, etc.) there should be plenty of opportunities here. ATK is a great company to work for. The Ammunition group (CCI, Speer, Federal...

    Recommend a first handgun?

    I shoot a G23 quite a bit and the recoil is wicked. I would stay away from that as a first gun. +1 on the XD9-SC. I love mine. Whatever you get, I would recommend that you make it an easy to carry weapon. You also want to go with 9mm since it will be more affordable to shoot and you...

    carry gun features poll

    I carry an XD9-SC on a Comp-Tac C.T.A.C. IWB holster. Mine has night Sights. Load is regular Blazer Brass 115, although I think I may be switching to hollow points soon. I was surprised at the few responses for carrying with a laser sight. With as popular, and expensive, as these are I would...

    Utah Packing Heat - No Apologies

    I always felt the same way about openly carrying until I had a class as part of the FBI's Citizen's Academy that gave me another perspective. The Special Agent was asked, half jokingly, if he displayed his shotgun on a gun rack on the back of his Ford. He said the only weapon he does not carry...

    Quickcanary, thanks. I actually got my verification e-mail from Sig Forum today. I registered on 10/2/07 and got the verification e-mail today! I thought something was wrong since this has not been my experience with other forums. Thanks for the response. This forum is a class-act.

    1BLINDREF, Thanks for the e-mail for the Sig Forum guy. However I am still not getting any response. If anybody out there knows the e-mail of any of the other moderators it would be appreciated. As an aside I caught word that the CEO of Sig Sauer will be posting a communication to Sig...

    Thanks 9mmepiphany. I have tried with three different e-mails. Including my e-mail from work. I don't know what the deal is. That's why I am trying to get in contact with one of the moderators.

    Whose worse? Glock Homers or XD Homers

    My bad. I had a senior moment. Homer of the year year goes to me. Who is worse? After living in ultra liberal states in the east coast for so long anyone who is passionate about their guns is OK with me. I live out west now and I am loving living among folk who appreciate their right to...

    Got My Utah CCW Today

    I turned in my papers to BCI on June 14 and received my permit on September 21. And I live in the state! From what I understand the wait is much longer for out-of-staters.

    Whose worse? Glock Homers or XD Homers

    Look, all you have to do is find an XD and a Glock to test. Go to the range and shoot both of them. Your choice will hands-down be an XD. The Glock is an excellent gun (probably more than excellent, it is absolutely brilliant). However the XD is every bit as good and their ergonomics are...

    Thanks for the info 1BLINDREF. I just sent an e-mail to Hogue asking them if they had plans for P220 SAO grips. The Nill grips are beautiful but I really think a darker wood color would look awesome on the two-tone. I guess I will just hang tight for now. The rubber factory grips don't look...
