Add GunGrip.com (NC Ordinance Inc) to the list of frauds to avoid! See my detailed post #30 of this thread on why they are terrible. Also see other posts by member hq, he had a similar awful experience with gungrip.com. See his post # 28 and post # 31. TLDR: AVOID GUNGRIP.COM AT ALL COSTS. THEY...

My random internet sleuthing seems to indicate that Kimbers are hit or miss. Some people love them, some people hate them and swear to never own a Kimber again. Break in periods, warranty issues, and just various issues. Whereas everything I can find on the SW1911s is that people seem to really...

I am looking to finally get a 1911. I currently own all metal DA/SA hammer guns as well as polymer striker fired, but there's something about America's handgun that makes me want to own this classic in .45 ACP. Budget is $1000-$1200. Requisites: • Front grip checkering • Front and rear slide...

Thanks everyone. Good to know that it is fine and won't harm the firearm and isn't a danger to shoot. I'll be purchasing some silica gel desiccant packets from Amazon to store with this ammo since it is already heavily tarnished. Don't want it getting any worse than it already is. But if it's...

Yes Lake Michigan is right here, but it has not been a very humid summer at all this year. Last couple years have been very mild summers too. We are still relatively low in humidity compared to a lot of the nation. I have a slew of various caliber ammo, and not a single round from any of them...

So I take it that this corrosion/tarnishing on the case will eventually cause pits in the brass which will make it unsafe for use?

Lol. I live in Chicago, not very humid here so I don't think where I live has anything to do with it. And I just received the ammo last week and it looked like this on arrival. For being factory new production ammo, the brass is dirtier than hell, and I just want to make sure it's okay to...

So after a lot of research and contemplating, I decided to make more of an effort to limit my exposure to lead. Lots of shooting over time adds up to lots of lead exposure. I know it's arguable, but that is my decision. Read more here if you're interested on how to limit your lead exposure...

I searched the forums and haven't seen any posts on this one yet so figured I'd get some discussion going. Has anyone handled or shot the new Performance Center ported barrel Shield yet? I've always wanted to get a Shield and am wondering how this one is, and how it compares to the standard...

Is there a thread currently running talking about the recent XO AK ban?

I'd take an M&P, however I've never fired a 5906 before. But for being a plastic gun, the recoil on the M&P is nothing. Shooting the M&P40 has as much recoil as a P226 in 9mm. Yes I said that right. And the ergos are incredible. Love the low bore axis, too. If you're concerned about the...

Totally agree with coyotehitman. First thing I thought when I read the OP was, why the hell didn't you keep your eyes on the target and see where his hands are? Not terrible situational awareness but definitely needs improvement.

Anyone have first person pics of the ipro idot or original idots with the square rear site?

Would everyone in this thread mind posting sight pictures of their setup? I'm curious to see how all the different options look. If not, no big deal.

Would you say that the U notch is a wash because the notch is wider than the dot and the dot doesn't fully fit inside? It looks to me that there is space around the dot even when it sits inside the u notch. In other words the u notch looks too big/wide. Is this how you perceive it? And is that...

I hate 3 dot sights and plan on getting the Ameriglo pro idot sights for my m&p. What I can't decide on is: 1: U notch or classic square notch. I think I'm leaning towards the U notch but would love to hear everyone's opinion. Eg accuracy, speed lining up, follow ups, etc. 2: Not sure if i...

I never wanted a 40 because the only 40's I ever shot were very snappy and had harsh recoil. They were not enjoyable at all to shoot. So I always stuck to 9's and 45's and avoided 40's. I thought that the only reason people owned 40's was because they were under the thought of 'well that's what...

Thanks for the info. I read the law and you are correct. The following is from Section 30, Contents of license application:

Trent, who are these instructors you speak of? Please do not be afraid to speak out. Doing so will only help others. RKBA/2A is a very heated topic these days, so we must all do whatever we can to keep what we believe in as clean and 'pure' as possible since it is constantly under the spotlight...

Wish I lived near central IL, I'd be taking my class with you Trent!
