My favorite 9mm setup right now is my Beretta 92FS and SWR Trident. Sig P226 Tactical is another great host, as is the HK USP SD. I don't much like Glocks but they do run well, even suppressed. I really like that you can thread a factory Beretta barrel. Rob

The Knight's USP can is the same as their OHG can with a piston optimized for the USP. The OHG can is the Socom suppressor for the MK23. KAC USP/T is the next can on my list. I have a KAC NT4 in transfer right now. Rob

Send a Glock 17L barrel to Tornado Technologies and have it cut down. That is generally considered to be the best option for the 34. Rob

The Nexus is an ancient can by today's standards. Look at SWR HEMS II, AAC Evolution .45, and KAC USP/T. Rob

Suppressed .45 is significantly louder than suppressed 9mm, including the subsonic 147gr loads. 1911s are definitely more finicky, but they can be suppressed and stay reliable. USP Tacticals are easy to suppress, but the only two cans that will not void HK's warranty are the KAC and the B&T...

Really, it does not take that long to have $4k tied up in an AR. My 10 inch MRP with Comp M3 and KAC mount, KAC front and rear BUIS, KAC trigger, KAC VHG and rail covers, and my still awaiting stamp, NT4 comes close to that. I am waiting on my SR-15 to get delivered. I think that it is going to...

Wow, it wasn't *that* long ago that you could order Chinese Makarovs for $85 or ten of them for $75 each. I might be able to scrounge up a Centerfire Systems flyer from about 1995 or '96 that had the $75 Chinese Makarovs and SKSs and 7.62x39 for $99 per case. To answer your question, I would...

If you look around, you can get an Aimpoint factory QRP mount for less than $75. I have one, it works well. I also have Knight's and LaRue. I can't really say that the QRP is a lesser mount for what I do with my guns (play at the range a few times a month). It holds zero as well as my more...

I urge caution when you start questioning people's religion. AR snobs are some of the most devout. I'm not sure that there is much substance to the debate beyond the Ford vs. Chevy aspect. My first ARs back in the mid 90s were Olympics. They ran fine and I never had a bit of trouble with...

My LMT is my favorite of all of my ARs, including my Colts. Rob

Are these built in house, contracted out domestically, or imported? Looks neat, I want one in .38-55. Rob

I've done three with a punch and brass hammer. A couple of careful, yet strong, whacks and it pops right out. I've never had to resort to drilling anything. The fun part is trying to replace a roll pin with a rivet to hold the sling mount on, without having a rivet tool. That can also be done...

I have had a couple of "oops" moments. One day I was headed out the door to go to work, I had already stuck my luggage in the truck (I travel for a living), but I had to run back into the house to accomplish one last chore before leaving. So before dropping trow, I removed the P228 from my...

My only reservation with using a rimfire for home defense is the reliability of the average semiautomatic rimfire weapon. I have a pile of .22s and I shoot .22s far more than anything else, but they also tend to jam more than anything else. No big deal when I am playing at the range, but a...

Thanks for the help guys. I made it out to Prarie Arms before I came home. Frankly, It was a little odd. Not a bad place, just strange that most of their AR accessories were not the "caliber" hehe, that I wanted. As in, they have a wall covered in CAA stuff. On the other hand, they had some...

I found Prarie Arms but they were closed today, I might try again tomorrow. 5280 Armory's phone recording says that they will be closed until Friday. Any other places that I should try? NFA places would be cool since I'm also looking for a 7 inch 9mm AR upper. Rob

My every day carry is my Beretta M9 in a Milt Sparks Versa Max II. It's quite comfortable and conceals on my body under a teeshirt. For the record, I'm about 6' and 200lbs. Rob

I'm in Englewood for a couple of days on business, are there any good gunshops worth visiting around here? I'm looking for AR parts and accessories such as BUIS and rail covers. Thanks!! Rob

I am almost half way to reaching my goal of not needing hearing protection for any of my pistols or regularly fired rifles through the use of suppressors. However, when I shoot most of my non-suppressed firearms, I simply use my red walmart specials. When I take the 10.5 inch AR to the...

I'll be in north Houston (Tomball) for a few days next week, is it worth the drive up to Livingston to see the showroom? I'm not too interested in archery, what else does he stock? Thanks, Rob
