My girlfriend is from Ontario and didn't grow up around guns. She's never fired one. She's quite outdoorsy and did a little crossbow hunting as a teenager. She's known that I'm into guns from the start and it's never really be an issue. When she first came down to visit, she wanted to see the...

Normally I'd agree and the 62 was a strong contender for me. But for whatever reason the light and fast rule with TSX seems to differ in .223. The 70-grains actually expand at a lower velocity than the others and seem to still open up right after impact and to the same diameter. That said, I've...

Yeah, the 62-grain was/is my second choice for sure. What I've managed to dig up through Googling and asking around on other sites, the two rounds seem pretty comparable aside from some slightly deeper penetration with the 70. Some say the 62 does a better job in terms of lethality, some say the...

Like I said, I don't doubt it. But I'd rather be safe than sorry and this would cover me in the event my state follows California in requiring non-toxic hunting ammo... and I just really like the monolithics ;)

Yup, I know. My rifle has a 1:7 twist. It'll be fine with the 1.04" OAL of the 70-grain. As I recall, the expansion threshold with the lighter TSXs (save the proprietary BH 50-grain) is 1900 feet per second. The 70-grain is supposedly closer to 1800 and its BC allows it to bleed velocity more...

So as I posted in a previous thread, I'm planning on getting into hunting once the current crisis is over with. I'll primarily be going after hogs, but coyotes and whitetail are a possibility as well. On recommendations from the aforementioned thread, I'm going to be using my Daniel Defense M4...

I wouldn't go out hunting large hogs specifically with nothing but a 9mm, but it will absolutely do the job if pressed into the role of defending oneself -- provided the user does their part, which I think is an important distinction. Bear in mind that the largest hog on record was dropped by a...

Indeed. On the point of ammo prices; even though I advocated for an LEO trade-in G22/G23 earlier, a G2C in 9mm is by no means a bad choice. Honestly, in your shoes, I'd probably go for 9mm as well. Even though .40 is a buyer's market right now, I don't expect it to last forever. 9mm is a good...

Yeah. I'm on Classic Firearms' subscriber list and I got an email from them the other day for some LEO trade-in Glock 22s and Glock 23s listed in "Very Good" condition with night sights and the original clamshell case at $350. Shop around and you can probably do even better than that at local...

What's your opinion on the strobe feature for tactical lights?

Welp. Finally came to terms with the fact that I'm not going to carry the Walther PPQ anymore outside of exceptional circumstances (my primary carry piece is a S&W Bodyguard 380 these days). As such, it's been fully relegated to home defense duty. I had already gotten the Talon grips, Trijicon...

Well this is embarrassing... Wouldn't you know it -- like a glove. No surprise here. I know even less about shotguns than I do about ARs :uhoh: No markings I could find. However, I think I solved the "mystery", such as it is, now that y'all have clued me into what I actually have. My buddy...

Hey there everyone. I was rummaging through the hardshell case that came with the Daniel Defense I inherited from my friend. In it, I found a small case containing these two items: As I've said elsewhere, I'm pretty much a complete novice so I'm not entirely sure what these are. The upper...

My first ever firearm was a Norinco SKS that I got for my 18th birthday (affectionately named "Chairman Mao"). In my young and misguided years, I hurriedly replaced the original furniture with the TAPCO Intrafuse stock, 20-round detachable mags, etc. However, I recently converted it back to its...

My Daniel Defense M4A1 Carbine. This is from their earlier run, when they still sent them out from the factory with Magpul MOE stocks. Free-float RIS II rails and a 14.5" barrel pinned with an A2-style flash hider to a length of 16" to avoid NFA shenanigans. My best friend Tom purchased this...

I can only speak from my own personal experience. I've shot a mix of CCI, Federal Champion, Winchester Wildcat, and Remington Yellow Jacket. Now the CCI definitely had a lower failure rate than the value packs, admittedly... but I would hope so at its comparative price point. The firearms I used...

So I've heard, but I bought my gun long before this was announced.

*shrug* I shop around when and where I can. And the cost savings were lost on me very quickly when about 33% of the rounds fired had some kind of issue.

I actually liked the stock grip texture quite a bit. Didn't find it that bad at all. I put TALON grips on it regardless because I absolutely love the feel of them both in terms of ergos and traction, but I personally found it to be serviceable from the factory. YMMV. The thing that kept me from...

I don't recall ever seeing a P99 AS at gun store in my area. Ever. Long live the dingus!
