    What AR mags do you use?

    All Magpull P-Mags. My FN-15 came with one and I added 24 of them. 8 of them are strapped two for and loaded with 28 rounds each. Hard to get a 30 round mag stuffed into a AR-15 with one in the chamber. My full 30's have a red piece of tape on the bottom to identify them as First Mag.

    Why are .22 LR cartridges so shoddy?

    All the 22LR I have is from 2004 and 2006 except 22Mag which is from 2007. Never had any issues with any of them. From what I have read across a ton of Gun blogs, QC has gone out the window for some manufacturers and you do get what you pay for.

    AR-15 popularity

    I have a FN-15 and 30 standard capacity (30round) mags for it with red dot optics. I have several spare parts including a BCG. I have taken two intermediate defensive courses with it and feel very comfortable using it. I have a stock of a few thousand rounds of various types. The gun is very...

    A felon tries to buy your gun

    I am not in the selling business for any of my guns ever. Only had one stolen from my car in 1969. I am in acquisition mode all the time for the right thing that I see and want.

    Shooting after shoulder surgery??

    I had C4 and C5 fused in my neck in 1995. My doctor said no heavy duty shooting and PT will last 4 months until you can get max movement left and right of your head. I took his advice and went out and bought a Ruger 45/22 pistol and 6 mags for it. Works like my 1911 with safety and trigger...

    Do you load/shoot the same stuff all the time?

    I have an Excel Spreadsheet I keep my load and shot performance on. It has 9MM, 40S&W, and 45ACP. 9MM is for target and plinking. 40 and 45 are for competition and are loaded to 170PF for USPSA. I have 3 brands of powder for all my loads, but have a few cans of others not on the spreadsheet...

    Thinking about a red dot

    I have a J Point on one of my two G-19's. Works great and if changing the battery the red dot stays put.

    Considerations for Home Defense.

    I have taken several "Gun Fighting Classes", yes the 2 day 500+ round type that requires an overnight stay nearby as well as several Alumni courses. With that foundation I do the following to stay sharp. My new home has three very large studded up rooms in the terrace level that have minimum...

    Bought ammo

    I buy when I find a good buy. I have a very good stock of ammo and components to load every caliber I own. I buy ammo to shoot not sell. Just like I buy guns to shoot not sell. I buy it I use it.

    How Many Rounds to Carry

    For me it is a G-19 with 16 and two 15 round spare mags. Total of 46. The long arm FN-15 is 142 in 5 mags. First has 30 with one in the chamber. The spares hold 28 as if filled to 30 they will not lock into the rifle with one in the chamber in a reload situation.

    Your handgun seems great, until you actually need it.

    I am more hardened on getting into the house. Alarm system yes with all entry points monitored. Inside and Outside sirens with outside Blue Strobe light on the siren. Two front doors weigh 150+ pounds each. Keys to the city will not budge them. All other entry doors are 36 inch solid core...

    A few years ago I took a Gunfighting course that including shooting from inside and outside of my car. We were shooting at Bad Bob who only goes down with a center to the mass shot. We shot out the drivers side window, around the drivers side front pillar and out of the passenger window...

    $.04 per round 22LR now in Walmart BUT.....

    When I was way younger in 1969 I had to sit in the local Police Chief's Office and tell him why I wanted Pistol ammo for him to write a Letterhead note to the local K-Mart so I could buy a box or two of ammo. No DOB or DL number, just his permission. I left that town in 1969 and moved to the...

    Tactical Response - Fighting Rifle/Advanced Fighting Rifle in Camden, TN Review/After Action Report

    Very good AAR for Fighting Rifle. I took Fighting Pistol 6 years ago and really enjoyed it and learned lots from it. As time has gone by my legs and knees are not what they were before turning 69. A few too many years of working from behind a computer have caused those issues. I still can...

    Trigger Discipline

    I have been trained in finger goes on trigger when sights are aligned on the target. This takes very little time with lots of practice. My FN-15 when it hits my shoulder has finger on trigger. This is different from a handgun. Each of these issues does involve a lot of training so it becomes...
