    LGS Prices

    Our smallest stores tend to have the highest prices on pretty much everything. Bigger showroom style stores and those with ranges attached are generally cheaper for ammo and guns. They deal in more volume and the ones with ranges have range fees and club memberships to defray the merchandise...

    Who owns a PCC

    I own a 16" foxtrot mike 9 upper and a keltec sub 2k and can easily stay well within a 6 inch splatter target at 50 with either. Maybe 3-4 inch groups. I don't seem to process the recoil the way everybody else does, they're extremely controllable for me. Good move with the response if you don't...

    Your favorite paper target mods

    I only joined a club and got the chance to shoot at 50 and 100 in the last year and am learning what works and doesn't work compared to indoor ranges. I have recently picked up a cheap magnifier to test. Haven't gotten it out yet but so far Without magnification for me it has to be simple and it...

    Longevity of budget vs higher priced AR-15's

    What brands does the range rent? What failure points is he talking about? What only lasts 12k? Are their guns trash or just needing overhauls at 12k? What brands do they rent? Colts? DD? Diamondback? S&W? Ruger? They probably aren't letting renters beat up premium rifles with high qc exotic...

    Why did no one bid my gun?

    I have made 2 GB purchases. I no longer buy there but when I do I only buy from stores with good credentials. I got a kitchen table bubba'd 1911 and a revolver with a nicked crown. Actually the majority of what I browse now is from the Gunbroker pages of stores local to me where I can go look...

    Home Defense Firearm For A Woman

    I guess the cliff notes would he, The instinct is to assume based on our knowledge and expertise that we know what new shooters will do well with. But I have seen people show surprising out of the box proficiency with stuff I never would have expected so I try to keep an open mind and don't...

    Home Defense Firearm For A Woman

    Did we put something like a G19 in their hands and establish it won't work or are we just assuming because they're petite women new to guns? Awhile back my Mother in law said she had a pistol she wanted me to get rid of or hold for her because she'd never touched in the decades she'd owned it...

    mighty tempting

    The only one of these I've been to, my wife sent me to to dump a 25 cal pocket gun her mother bought decades ago, never touched and eventually gave to us to store. The wife wanted the grocery card. I appeared to be surrounded in line by law abiding gun guys mostly 50-plus, hunters, shooters...

    mighty tempting

    I am probably going to bite the bullet and get a better barrel fitted to get it closer in accuracy to my Kimber next.

    mighty tempting

    I have an old Colt Series 80 Mark IV 9mm butchered by a previous Owner that I paid a smith to make a safe shooter again. No store wants it because they don't trust the modifications. I have been tempted to dispose of it this way but can't bring myself to do it. Just a tiny bit too much gun for...

    Question for SUB 2000 shooters

    Qd mount is a good compromise. If I want to get back to basics just leave it in the bag.

    A different way to hold an auto pistol

    I was taught thumb over thumb grip for pistols at an academy and years later at another I was taught everybody was now doing thumbs forward. I did not argue with the new method but struggled to shoot with it. Trying to make my brain tell my thumbs to do this new thing instead of what they'd...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Keltec Sub2k I do not only own Glocks, ARs and 1911s but will say that as time passes, hard times in this market come and go and I start to think of cost effective ways to stay on the range for the long term... things that don't take one of those 3 magazines are becoming less and less tempting...

    Question for SUB 2000 shooters

    I broke that dinkey little mechanism on the rear pulling it the wrong way on day 1 without reading the directions or checking youtube. I immediately put the Precision Services LLc taller rear and a Vortex Crossfire II mine on a standard height mount. Everything cowitnesses well, I don't feel...

    2nd bipod, targets, topped off on various calibers from free shipping at 49-plus outfits. 7th range magazine for my Ruger Mark IV. I had a low end bipod that came with a sling stud attachment that I tied into to a qd adapter I was using on a rifle and it just wasn't working well so I did what I...

    Is Pro2a Tactical legit?

    I have a 223 wylde upper I impulse bought from them. It had to go back to get the feed ramps polished as it wouldn't feed. After a bunch of experimenting I cleaned it fully then ran one last mag or two through it to see if the last things i tried worked. Then I boxed it up without (foolishly on...

    Status of Loaded Guns in your home....

    Not a fan of loaded guns lying around everywhere, although I know people who do it to a certain extent. But they conceal them and use a small number carefully placed. Not in every nook and cranny of every room. Aside from the fact that I have a kid I would not want a home invader to pick up...
