    Vaultek Lifepod alternatives

    Hi guys, So, I started down this rabbit hole because now that I'm carrying on a daily basis now, I need a "lockbox" to keep my ccw and mags in when it's not on my person. I own a construction company, so I'm constantly having to go into town halls (which are a no-go for ccw) so I have yo leave...

    Red dot + my eyes = horribleness.

    Yes, Eotech is on an AR. Honestly, I'm going to sound like an idiot, but i can't close just my right eye... I am physically unable to. I'd have to tape it shut or something. It's just the fun of being me.

    Bad primer or light primer strike

    Fastbolt- very true about budget ammo. I was not really concerned about the ammo, but with the pistol. Little things like this can be indicators that something is starting to go wrong. Being that this is my ccw, I wanted to see if this is a maintenance issue starting to rear its ugly head...

    Bad primer or light primer strike

    Thanks for all the replies. So, more info for those who asked. The gun is my EDC. It's a HK USP compact 9mm. It's a 1996 production model, but looked unfired when I bought it about 4 years ago. Its bone stock and has 4-5k rounds through it. She was a bit dirty as I had some time here and...

    Bad primer or light primer strike

    Hi guys. Was at the range and pulled the trigger and got a click instead of a bang. Did the old tap rack bang thing, and the offending round landed on the bench, so I picked it up, chambered it and pulled the trigger. Second time got a bang. So, you guys think it was a bad primer or...

    Red dot + my eyes = horribleness.

    Thanks guys! Yeah, the funny thing is that it never happens with my green Eotech, which is obviously a holographic sights as opposed to a red dot... I tried just closing my non-dominant eye and turning the brightness way down and it solves the problem 95%, but I have just always shot a pistol...

    Red dot + my eyes = horribleness.

    Thought I would give you guys an update. Went to the eye doctor yesterday. My buddy was gracious enough to let me take his red dot with me. I explained the situation to the Doc. He seemed perplexed, which made me a bit nervous. Turns out that I have a slight astigmatism in my...

    Red dot + my eyes = horribleness.

    Thanks guys. Yall got me a bit freaked out. I had to make an eye doctor appointment soon anyway to renew my contact lenses, so I'll just bump that up to asap. Just weird that it only happens with red dots, but not holographic sights.... I guess I'll find out. Thanks again!

    Red dot + my eyes = horribleness.

    Hi guys. I'm looking for some help. I've always been anti red dot because I've never been able to hit consistently with them. But lately, I've been challenging a lot of my preconceived notions about shooting and have actually improved a lot, so I thought I would revisit red dot pistol...

    S&W 657 vs Dan Wesson 741

    I want to thank everyone again for their thoughts, comments, and suggestions. You all are wealth of knowledge! Truth be told, when it comes to revolvers, I'm really a Colt guy at heart, with the exception of the S&W 686 (which I have a 4, 5, and 6 inch bbl). I honestly was really torn...

    S&W 657 vs Dan Wesson 741

    So I bought the Smith... I liked them both but turns out that the S&W was a limited edition and the serial number was my father's birthday, so I took it as a sign. I'll keep my eyes out for a DW. I want to thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Enjoy!

    S&W 657 vs Dan Wesson 741

    Hi Mike. Beautiful DW and barrel collection! They are both asking right about $1300, although the Smith is basically new and the DW has some (A little) holster wear. thanks!

    Hey guys. Dump question time... where is the model # on a DW?

    S&W 657 vs Dan Wesson 741

    Thank you everyone! Ok guys, up date. I'm going to have to confirm the model # on the DW. The S&W is a satin stainless finish with a fluted cylinder and full under lug. It is pre-lock.

    S&W 657 vs Dan Wesson 741

    Thanks guys. I do reload, so I would be buying a set of dies no matter what gun I bought. I have heard that the DW's are really nice, but never handled one. Any thoughts on the 657 being a performance center piece? Thanks!

    S&W 657 vs Dan Wesson 741

    Well, of course both is the correct answer, but my bank account said I can only get one.

    S&W 657 vs Dan Wesson 741

    Hey guys, So I got a wild hair and decided that I want a .41 mag. I'm looking at a S&W 657 and a DW 741. Both are used. Both are about the same price. Both are 6" bbls, but the S&W is a performance center model. The DW is blued, the S&W is SS. Both are are in mint condition. So, which would...

    Wilson 92G vs Sig 226 Legion

    Hi all. Wanted to give you an update. So, I went back to the gun shop. Was leaning heavily towards buying the Beretta, but wanted to fondle them both a little before making up my mind. Turns out the Beretta was sold, but they had in a Sig p226 Black Legion. It was in the used section but...
