No statistical analysis here.. just one personal experience with one DPMS rifle. I went back and read the original post, and this seems to be the sort of anecdotal experience requested. The DPMS AR I had was not acceptable, it had a history of never once finishing a 30 round mag with zero...

Many... and yet not anywhere near enough. I seem to keep buying them. Not one with a barrel longer than 20". I have had the same experience as the guy in this thread who has wrecked some sheetrock. I prefer 18".

Glock 27 I agree with the Glock 26 guys, the 26/27 is a great platform. I just prefer the bigger bullet. Caliber is your choice, but this "family" of guns lets you hide an easily shootable, serious caliber firearm. There have been a lot of good carry methods mentioned here. I prefer the 511...

Nice problem to have!! Barring any way for you to try the two out on a range, handle them both and choose the one that feels right for you. Then go and shoot a lot. Another, probably best case scenario is to buy them both!

Not a stupid idea at all, krmgator. It works, and the best part is that if you don't like it after you try it, it comes off with a little thinner/slovent and a brush. When I first started carrying back in the early eighties, if they did not have a Smith with the red ramps or another gun with a...

Have you ever had any trouble with it not going bang due to the trigger safety? If not, just shoot the way that feels best to you. If you ever develop the problem, then worry about it. I'll bet you won't, though. IMO this is a non-issue. I cannot think why that advice would be given. After...

Well, a point that has been missed here is a simple one. The 380, or 32, or 38 that is small, light and easy to carry allows the owner to follow the all-important first rule of gunfighting: Have a gun. Do I prefer bigger calibers? Yes. Do I carry bigger calibers on a daily basis? Yes. Would I...

Please post a part number or size size or some such. The same thing has happened to me!

Fun but bulky. It worked very well on full auto, but even a few years back when I had it, the ammo cost was very prohibitive. The dept only provided so much. Outstanding fun to shoot though! Made cleaning the guns worse though, because they got so many rounds through them.

I would buy it. That is one of the guns that has been on my "list" since I was in High School. Definitely buy it! I rarely regret the things I buy, but I agonize over the ones I didn't buy when I could have.

It still amazes me that people expect reality in a totally fictional production. As long as the fiction holds together and is internally realistic then I have no problem suspending disbelief. If they are aiming at realism about current guns that I have or have fired, then it can be mildly...

Left leaning liberalism=a desire for more govt interference to "take care of us"=this sort of elitist belief in the ranks of govt functionaries that they know what is best for us. If protest inconveniences our keepers while they are looking out for us, then it is terrorism. Dangerous and...

I spent a lot of time working in gun shops as a younger man. I saw a lot of stupid stuff done on both sides of the counter. I have witnessed more than one unintentional discharge in a gunshop. This topic can never be considered old or out of date. I don't think we can ever talk enough about gun...

Mountain dew out the nose again...:D Reading THR while drinking is getting dangerous!!

If he wasn't hurt, and it seems he wasn't, he is a lucky guy!

I may be dense here, but are you saying you are keeping the military powder, case and primer intact and just replacing the bullet?

Winddummy, I sure wish I had thought of that. I invested the cash in a universal sight tool from Brownells. It works beautifully, but your drill press idea would've cost a lot less!! :banghead:

The only ammo that mine do not like is the South African. And they REALLY do not like it. British and Portugese are smooth as silk in mine. The SA blows a lot of sealant around in there and it stops them up after about a mag or so.

Well, the short answer is I try to go the distance to make sure that those who publicly attack my right to carry know how I feel. But no, I do not need to know the private beliefs of every person with whom I do business. If they make it a public thing by signage or actions or statements...

I have used the ARMS mount, (number 18, I believe) and the Smith Enterprises mount with great results. IMHO, you want something with three points of contact to the receiver. I tried the others, but they would not stay put under recoil, and I went back to the higher priced, but more reliable...
